My period is late...?

Question

Alright so my period is usually regular and this month i was suppose to get it 5 days ago. Earlier this month i had all 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled n couldn't eat for about a week. Im 16 and sexually active (dont judge) n we used protection every time. Could i be pregnant or is it b.c i wasnt eating?

Answer 1

It could be a number of factors. Considering your age it is very normal to have irregular cycles. Since you are sexually active then that is also something to consider. Protection is not 100% remember, so if your cycles haven't returned in about a month then I suggest a pregnancy test. Since you lacked in eating for that long your body naturally has a reaction to it so that could also lead to some disturbance in your cycles. Overall, other than the a possible pregnancy (small chance but one never knows) then I wouldn't worry about it. If you are overly concerned then you should see your doctor, they would definitely be able to help you. Most of the time anyway. But for the time being, don't stress.
