A member asked:

Have had my period for a while & i never really monitored when i started until i have started being sexually active and i'm late every month.

Do you want: someone to call you "Mommy"??- I suggest that if you are old enough to have intercourse, then you are old enough to use BOTH B pills and condoms. Call your GYN for a pelvic and PAP exam, get on BC pills and ALWAYS use condoms and spermicidal foam , At 17 your cycles may vary due to fluctuating levels of female hormones.
