If anything like this happens again then contact your local family planning clinic or doctor straight away. It's better to be safe than sorry. I can't remember the facts about underage sex and the responsiblity to tell your parents, but your local clinic can advise you. Here's a number to keep just in case you have any futher questions or need advice or contraception. http://www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk/ They have a 24/7 telephone advice service and can tell you the number of your local clinic.
I hope your not pregnant and everything is ok. I do wish you would stop having sex untill your legal and can take of yourself and make your own choices in life. Please take care.

 Yes, it's still early days, you could still just be late, those symptoms could just be your period coming on. Get your boyfriend to take you to the clinic or see your Doctor. I believe that in the UK, he can't call your Mom and Dad, so don't be afraid for the two of you to go and see your family Doctor. If you take a pregnancy test, at least you'll know for sure whether or not there's anything to be worried about. If everything works out for you the way that you are hoping, and you are not pregnant, you should consider talking with your Mom about all of this, Honey. It would be better to be on the pill than to risk all this worry again. Good Luck.

 pharmacys sell them for about £5 and upwards their may be cheaper ones, or you could go to your gp as it is free..it could just be a fluctuation in your periods but if your worried then take a test..your cramps and tender breasts can be either pregnancie or pms..hope that helps aphex :) x

We only used the condom once, and it didn't break. He didn't even come, so i'm really hoping that i'm not pregnant. I just don't understand why i'm late on. My periods are usually irregular anyway (range from about 24-30 days) but it's been 35 days today.
I've been having minor stomach cramps and sore breasts lately, are these normal signs of a period?
Thanks for all your advice so far, im still worried though.

According to the FDA tables, the highest rate of effectiveness for condoms is 97%, but the lowest rate of normal effectiveness is 84%. That would include human error, breakage, using a condom twice (big no-no), slippage, leakage, etc.
Chances are pretty good that if the condom didn't break, you are having a normal fluctuation in your period cycle because of your young age, but it might be a good idea to take a pregnancy test to make sure, seeing as you are a bit late for a 28 day cycle, if that was your normal cycle. It might put your mind at ease - or if you are pregnant - it is important to know as soon as possible, in order to give you time to make plans and decide what you want to do.
Good for you for using a condom, you should make that a personal policy until you get married to protect yourself and your health. You probably already know that there are a lot of STI's that could affect your future fertility. Perhaps if you are now sexually active, you should consider a back-up method like the pill as well. Good luck Hun!

if in doubt buy a pregnancie test or go to your gp for one. it could still be your hormones..and ide advise if your going to keep having sex which at your age is young but go on the pill and use condoms for a a more secure rate of not getting pregnant or getting stds.. thats my opinion hope it helps aphexy
