RU pregnant: Post coital and irregular menses can cause worries of pregnancy. A pregnancy test, available at your local pharmacy, no prescription needed will usually settle the issue. If you are pregnant, start prenatal vitamins and get to your OB doc. If not pregnant, or still unsure then get in with your regular doc for blood tests and ultrasound. Be well.

Likely not pregnant: It is not unusual for a young woman to have irregular cycles at your age. , i don't know your full history so you should make an appointment with your doctor to discuss in detail. Also you can discuss your birth control options.
