Yes but . . .: Only if you've engaged in unprotected sex. If you always use protection of some sort, then it's less likely. In fact, irregular periods are common in young women. However, home pregnancy tests are available at most drug stores w/o prescription. They're easy to use & very accurate if you follow instructions when your period is late. If negative & don't want to get pregnant, see doc for BCPs.
