Doctor's usually reccomend abstaining from sex for 2 weeks when you first start the pill and practicing safe sex (condoms) for about a month to a month and a half from starting it. While your boyfriend may not have cummed in side you, there is a chance that his precum could have. Take a pregnancy test. Take it with the first " pee of the morning" because it is most accurate. If it is negative, then go to your doctor and talk to he/she about it. Sometimes birth control can make your periods irregular, even though its actually supposed to do the opposite. If its positive then well you know why you were late and you should stop taking bc immediatly. Don't panic now though, just take a pregnancy test and see. You may also want to talk to your mom about it so she knows whats going on. Perhaps she could buy the pregnancy test for you. Chances are if you are honest and open with your parents from the begining then they won't be as upset (if at all) then if you were trying ot hide it from them. Good luck honey and best wishes, hopefully everything will turn out just as you'd like it to.

If you have only been taking the Pill for a month, then your body still has not got used to having all the unfamiliar hormones rushing round inside it.
This can take a good 3-4 months before it fully settles down, and even then it may take much longer for some women to become completely happy with it. Many women have to try 2, 3 or more different brands of pills before they find one that suits them. They may get irregular bleeding, no bleeding, or horrible side effects. Just make sure your pill is not the type that means you dont have a monthly withdrawal bleed - there are brands which stop the monthly bleed altogether.
I dont know what the legal age of consent is where you are, but please remember, if you are underage then you shouldnt be having sex!
Just because you are on the pill, does not mean you shouldnt use condoms! ALWAYS use 2 methods the pill and a condom - this will protect you from sexual infections and diseases, as well as giving a back up for protection against pregnancy. Unless you are 100% consistant with taking the pill, (ie not missing the odd one, taking them at the same time of day, not mixing with other types of medication, or using extra protection when having an upset tummy) then there is always a possibility that it may fail - at 15, do you want to take that risk?
If you dont want a baby yet, then considering you are so young, dont have sex. Its very simple. Wait until you are mature enough to cope with the consequences. There is no harm in waiting. Babies require, money, a warm home and a stable environment to grow up in. If you do not think you can provide all this, then you should be aware of your actions.
As for the fact you havnt had your period - IF you have had penetrative sex without a condom, even if he only went in a little ways, you could be pregnant. He doesnt have to ejaculate inside you - pre cum also contains sperm and can result in pregnancy.
I urge you to go and speak to your doctor as soon as possible, and get checked over. You could be pregnant, you could also have some issue with the particular type of pill you are on. Whatever the issue is, you need to go and get some professional advice.

The usual way of not having a baby is not to have sex when you are one yourself. Grown ups know that precum can get your pregnant, halfway in or not.
