The best time is about a weeks after you are due for your period, but also a lot of females will not miss the first period after having sex. I am on my fith pregnancy and with 3 of them I had one period then the next month didn't have one. Also your period that's coming up might not be normal if this happens then there is a big possibility that you are pregnant. Hopefully with you being 14 you will have a lot of support and help. My first pregnancy at 15 was hard but good because I had the support of my parents, without them I would have not made it and I would of missed out on so much with my son. Hope all goes well for you!!!

VirginMaster agony auntTake the pregnancy test if your period doesn't come. but also take an STD test a week after your period if you're worried. Do your aids test twice. once about two weeks after your period, and once again in about a month's time because AIDS can be hard to pick up in its incubation period.

I used to go for STD and AIDS tests once every three months before i met my fiance because i was very sexually active - even with protection i still went for the tests to make sure i'm safe.

I never caught anything. but yeah, to be on the safe side, do the tests above.

starfairy agony auntThe problem with unprotected sex is that yes you might get pregnant, but you might also contract Aids and die.

Sorry to be harsh, but have you thought about STD's? Warts on your bits that are there for life, that kind of thing?

Don't mean to lecture but you've really got to think about these kinds of things.x

\m/J.D\m/ agony auntI am fully backing tiger on this one. you dont seen to realize the danger you have put yourself in. wait untill your due date, if you dont come on about a week later then take one then. you also strongly need to consider your options if you ARE pregnant. raising a child at any age is a tough thing let alone at 14.

hey, just another quick thing, i know this will be hard to do as well, but try not to worry about it. stress can make you late as well.

you seem like you've got your head screwed on, and everybody makes mistakes, its learning from them thats the killer part!

i'll keep my fingers crossed for you, let us know how you get on!

A female reader, celtic_tiger United Kingdom +, writes (20 August 2009):

celtic_tiger agony auntSorry to bring everyone back to reality, but surely you should take this as a warning for next time?

You are underage and should not be having sex, unprotected or otherwise. ANY FORM OF SEXUAL CONTACT UNDER THE AGE OF 16 IS ILLEGAL - or didnt you know that? By having unprotected sex you have shown you are not responsible enough - and have left yourself open to pregnancy, STI's and STD's. Even if you are not pregnant, you should go and get yourself checked out in case you have caught something. You do not seem in the least bit concerned with the fact that you may be pregnant, which worries me a lot.

Why not start to become more responsible and restrain yourself (you cant even blame it on alcohol) until you are of an age where you are mature enough to handle the consequences of sex. As the poster earlier said we are not here to shout at you, but in this case, I do feel you need a bit of a reality check!

You're welcome :) We're not here to shout... we're here to help you! I'm not sure about the morning, perhaps around 4-5 weeks from when you conceived? That's what it seems to have been for a few of my friends who are/have been pregnant!

You know, I am sure it is scary to think that at your age, you might actually be having a baby. Once you are pregnant, so many things change.

I would wait for a few weeks after your period's time of arrival and then, if it hasn't shown up, test. I still would suggest that you be cautious and stay on your toes until the next cycle, as sometimes you won't actually miss the first period when pregnant.

I would be so much more concerned about how hard you are going at this relationship. you are so very young and there are so many more things other than the sex in the relationship that will matter more down the road. If you don't get along well later,it won't matter how great the sex is.

Then you have thrown yourself into a relationship that is temporary. I wonder if you know how wonderfully you were made and that you came into the world specially made for God's purpose and plan. He knows who you are and has specific plans for your life.

While it is good to have a good sexual relationship, it is even better to find a special someone and make a commitment that lasts a life time; through trials and problems and pain...which life has plenty of.

Most relationships which start in a hot sexual experience at so young, are short lived and end in pain. We would hate to see you go through a painful pregnancy and a break up while you are still so young.

I guess I sound preachy, but knowing our worth helps us to be content to be happy being a young girl and wait for right relationships. I am sure your boyfriend is great and all may end up well, but his love shouldn't depend upon your giving him sex or not. I would really like to know what he does in time. Remember, you should be treasured as the precious jewel you are.

Crisy agony auntHey. The best time to take a pregnancy test is afew days after you miss a period. However you can get some pregnancy tests that can tell 4 days before your due on your period if you are too anxious to wait. x

A reader, anonymous, writes (19 August 2009):

Wait to see if you're period has come first, if a few days has passed and it still hasn't come then take a pregnancy test then. This will be hard to do, but try to do things to keep your mind off it as worrying about it can delay your period too (if you're not pregnant).
