you really never know with birth control. its always hard. im in the same boat somewhat so right now just wait it out or go test yourself.

If you've had unprotected sex since you've been off the period, you could definitely be pregnant.

If not, then it's probaby just the hormones. I wouldn't worry too much.

So the anwer to your original question is, Yes, you can get pregnant, but a late period so soon after quitting birth control does not mean you are pregnant.

Well, first you should go to the doc and get a blood test to make sure you are pregnant. Than think about how to tell! Your doc will be able to counsel you on how your age will effect your pregnancy.
