could i be pregnant?

It can be many things, sometimes periods just do skip a month. Also, sounds like you're going through a stressful time i.e anorexia recently and that can also stop your periods.

Though to be sure, i'd go see your doctor about it.

I'm a normal weight, on the pill and have sex with my live-in boyfriend often. My period is sometimes two weeks late. My friends had lots of scares when we were in highschool. we would go in a group, like 3 or 4 people, to the drug store and buy poster board, markers and a pregnancy test, sometimes condoms too. then we would tell the person at the counter that we were doing a school project and was there anything else they though we would need to show how to prevent pregnancy and what to do in case of pregnancy.. etc. usually they would say something along the lines of "wow, what a great project! have you thought about showing other kinds of BC other than the pill and condoms?" etc etc, and we would chat and leave.

you'll be ready for your next posterboard project, annnnd have what you need.

good luck!

This is great! i might try this actually, a good idea. thankyou

I suggest you buy a pregnancy test to find out for sure the best one to buy is ept
early response it can predict if you are pregant a week before your due period.

could just be a cycle change....... happens all the time

Im glad your anorexia is getting better (you did say that right). And just remember, if you did get pregnant there are many options you could take. You could have an abortion (my least favorite option), adoption (may be hard to go through with but it helps) or you keep it.
I know your 15 and you dont want to get pregnant but if your having sex with your boyfriend, you kinda have to think about these things if you think you might be pregnant

And i honestly never knew that... I dont know why i didnt know that but yeah

you can go to a woman's clinic, the test is free and you get the results quick.. just another alternative if you dont want to  go in a store

good luck with the pregnancy test
and at least you have your best friend there with you for support

No offense, but if you can't go buy condems or a pregnancy test, then you aren't mature enough to be engaging in any type of sex to begin with.  Just like the saying,"If you can't talk about it, you shouldn't be doing it."  I'm not judging, but am just giving advice that in the future, this is stuff that needs to be thought about.  There are certain responsibilities that come with sex and if you can't handle them.... if you're too embarassed to follow through with them... then you just aren't at the maturity level to be engaging in the activity. 

For the babies sake, I hope you aren't pregnant.  In all likelihood, you aren't, but the more you stress out, the more late your period is going to be.  Your body is extremely unstable due to the anorexia and now with all of the added stress of thinking you may be pregnant and the stress of having sex for the first time, it is screwing up your body worse.  However, most good pregnancy tests now can register if you are pregnant or not 5 days before your period is late.  Not after it's already late, but 5 days before.  So, if you are already late, a good one will have no problem registering.  Also, I would recommend one that is digital (i.e. says yes/no or pregnant/not pregnant) because those are a little less likely to give unclear results as the ones with just the lines or colored lines are. 

Good luck, and I really do hope that you will show the maturity to take a hiatus from sex to get your anorexia better under control.  I have battled ED's for roughly 12 years, and when I was younger, I couldn't imagine trying to handle sex and my ED.  If you would ever like to talk about either, please feel free to pm me.  I am always an open book with my own experiences.  Good luck sweetie.

I'm hoping for a negative for you! How'd it go?

I know someone has already said that if you're too embarrassed to buy condoms/pregnancy tests then you shouldn't be having sex, but i'm 24 and always feel a little bit that way, cause I always end up with the old lady at the drugstore who gives me a dirty look lol
I just make the bf get them. I think in some manly way he's proud to walk through the store with his condoms...haha

If you are pregnant, there are options...no matter what you do, you wont be the first (or last).
If you are stuggling with anorexia, chances are that you may not even be able to support a pregnancy to term, even if you are at a healthy weight today.
I will not judge you for having sex at 15. I was 15 the first time I did, and I felt comfortable in my choice...he was older (24), and THAT was the problem for me, since after, he felt like I was supposed to be HIS forever, and I eventually matured beyond him. Good luck to you.

when you think your preg you get really stressed and it can delay for period, well that what happened to me.

well my initial test was negative, yet still no period. I'm going to test next week just to be sure. I'm still not 100% positive, there's a little voice in my head telling me something wasn't quite right. but thankyou for all your really good advice, it means a lot
