Welcome to the EmpowHER community. I am glad you reached out to us with your concern.
It is imperative that you start using birth control. Either your partner wears a condom, each and every time, from start to finish, or you must choose and use some type of birth control. Being sexually active without protection is playing with fire.
If you have not had unprotected intercourse since your last normal period, pregnancy is not possible.
Other causes for a late period include high stress levels, extreme exercising, extreme weight loss or weight gain, illness or some type of hormonal imbalance. Though you began menstruating about one year ago, your hormone levels should have stabilized and up until now, your periods have come monthly.
All that I can suggest is to try to relax and wait. If you do not get a period by the end of this month, contact your physician, who can order blood tests to check hormone levels.
