Birth Control/Pregnancy

Question
Hello,
I am a sexually active seventeen year old female.
I've been with the same guy for a year and a half now and we lost our virginity together. I was on birth control at the time but stopped taking it because I started to put on weight which isn't good because I am an athlete.
Sometime ago when there was alcohol involved we had unprotected sex and agreed that he would withdrawal.
Well, now it has been a while and I should have gotten my period a couple of weeks ago and it never came.
I'm worried that I could be pregnant, any advice?
Thank you,
BW


Answer
Hi Bridget,
Thanks for your question to me. I hope I can help you but I'm not a medical professional. Please check with your physician on this matter. It is possible in my opinion that you could be pregnant. If you want to take a free pregnancy test, just go to this website http://www.optionline.org and see if there is a center in your area. Hope I can help. Email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com anytime you like.
