Relax a little. You're a teenager, so periods are irregular. Talk to your doctor if you're worried and if you're very worried you can take a test to make sure. It doens't sound like your pregant. However, in future, make sure you're safe with your boyfriend.

Irregular periods are not unusual at your age, although if you find that you don't have one for a long time it is wise to see a doctor to identify if there is a medical explanation. Stress can also affect your cycles. It is possible for a virgin to get pregnant but these are very rare events that arise from sperm being deposited at the entrance of the vagina (without intercourse). You could take a pregnancy test to reassure yourself. However, I think your post here may suggest there are more psychological factors playing in your mind. You may feel anxious about the possibility of this relationship progressing to a full sexual one in the future. I would say that if you feel this anxious about pregnancy (as you should at your age!) then it should send you a clear message about not starting to have sex too early in your life. By all means date this boy, but if you are feeling uncomfortable and anxious about the body contact then you should say to him that you are not ready for more.

If there is sperm near the area, things like that, then there is a slight chance you could be pregnant. Since you said you know how that happens, I assume that's all I need to say on that. However, if you've been stressing a lot about it and everything, or stress in general, that can delay your period too. I hope this helps some, if you need anything else feel free to message me. I wouldn't be too worried about it, but if you are worried about getting pregnant just doing whatever you two do, maybe you should consider stopping those activities.
