A member asked:

I am 16 years old, and my period is 9 days late. how likely is it that i am pregnant? or is there something else that could be causing this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: If you are sexually active and not using protection consistently, it would be my first thought. No exposure= no pregnancy. Some teens can skip a cycle occasionally if they do not ovulate. A home pregnancy test would be a reasonable start but can be falsely negative early in pregnancy.
