even if you have never had a period it is
still possible to get pregnant as a woman
typically ovulates (releases an egg) two
weeks before her period comes

Technically, yes, but let me explain. More
than likely, no you canot get pregnant if
you've never had your period.
When your body gears up during puberty, it
first starts thickening the lining of your
uterus. Then it releases an egg from your
ovaries. The egg travels down the
fallopian tubes and if it
gets fertilized by sperm at this stage,
then it will implant inside the uterus on
the thickening walls, and develop into a
zygote then and embryo and fetus and
finally be born as a baby.
If the egg is not fertilized, then when it
reached the uterus, the uterus contracts
slightly (this is the cramping that many
women feel during their periods) and sheds
the thick lining along with the egg. This
is your period.
Theoretically, a girl could have sex or be
raped during her first cycle, and become
pregnant even though she'd never had a
period before. However, this is so
unlikely to happen that I wouldn't worry
about it.
However, if a girl who has not reached
puberty has been involved in sexual
activity, I feel she needs to report it to
an adult. A girl of that age is too young
to be having sex and she could have been
physically harmed during the act.

It is certainly possible, but not highly
likely as most girls are not having sex at
that point. If you are sexually active
and have not gotten your period yet, talk
to your ob-gyn. You should use protection
just in case since you never know when you
will all of a sudden become fertile.

Really, the only thing you can do is take
a pregnancy test.
I think you should discuss this with your
parents or a counselor. You should be able
to talk to someone, at your age, it is a
lot of responsibility being sexually
active and you need to be able to talk to
someone about it.
Feel free to pm me agian if you want to
talk.

Really, it is possible but not likely.
Take a pregnancy test- you can buy them at
the drug store and all you have to do is
pee on them and wait a couple minutes.
They are not too expensive, like $15 at
the most but you can buy cheap ones and
they work just fine too. If it turns out
you are pregnant, I would suggest talking
to your parents. They will be angry but
probably want to help you in the long
run.
Condoms don't cost that much, either. Pick
some up while you're there. But realize
that condoms aren't 100% effective either.
If you are going to be having sex, I would
go to the doctor (but that would require
talking to your parents) or getting
someone to give you a ride to planned
parenthood where they can prescribe you
with birth control and give you a checkup
too. If you don't have money, they usually
do it for free if you really need it. And
if you're going to be having sex, you
should see a doctor anyway.
Or wait until you are older to have sex.
Your body really isn't ready.
