 Hi If you have had protected sex and you have used condoms you shouldn't be able to get pregnant it is impossible but if you meant to write unprotected then you might possibly be!

These could just as easily be signs that you're a young woman whose body is still becoming an adult.
The responsible thing is to do a pregnancy test as soon as you can get reliable results and take action based on what you can trust, rather than "what if?".
If the possibility of pregnancy is scaring the hell out of you, then you probably weren't ready to have sex. "Protection" is NOT 100% reliable - young people in particular often don't use condoms correctly!

Turns out I wasn't, so I wouldn't be too worried. Just in case try to get a pregnancy test to clear your mind, but I'd wait for at least another week yet.

I'm asking because other medication (like antibiotics) can affect the effectiveness of pill. You should ask yourself, are your periods usually regular, or is it unusual for you to be late? Also, if it's only in the past few weeks it would be too early to get these symptoms. Maybe it would be best to visit your doctor just to be sure.Best of luck

 Take a test to be sure!! The more you worry tho the more you could be putting your period off! AS stress and worry can make you late and the headaches sound like tension headache, related to you stressing out over the whole thing put your mind to rest take the test! I dont think it sounds as tho you are preg!! good luck!!

 what is protected sex? if you only used condoms, there is always a chance one tore or it was used incorrectly... a year or so ago i had the exact same scare where i was only using condoms and i was late. i ran to the drugstore, bought several different pregnancy tests and even called my obgyn. that's my recommendation!
don't leave things up to chance, take a couple drugstore tests, call a doctor for their opinion, and when you find out the result, do what you need to do.
after that, if you are going to keep having sex, why not try getting on the pill? that plus condoms is very effective.
good luck!
