Late menses: If your periods are 28-30 days apart regularly, get a serum HCG test for pregnancy, which is very accurate. If negative at this point, you are not pregnant. Your periods may at 17 still be influenced by stress, or your ovulation may have been delayed, and the light bleeding may just be due to implantation "spotting", which is very light. See your healthcare provider if this continues, for an exam.

A period's a period!: Late and light probably are not indications of pregnancy, but you can do a test to feel more certain. Also, feel good that you are using condoms and being careful. A test will probably be negative but if not - see a Dr and follow up on this ASAP. I hope it goes well for you!
