Hi, Tshiku. Sorry for the delay, but we're very glad you wrote to us here.

If you had a full period on the 23rd of June and have not had sex yet, then no, seriously, I would have to say that you aren't pregnant. It sounds like you are seriously stressed right now with studies, and stress can totally affect our cycles. Especially since yours are so irregular.

Even if you were, a home pregnancy test would never show a positive result until you were late with your period, and it's not super-reliable until you're several days late.

Here are some great resources on how to know if and when you are pregnant:

Take care, try not to feel so much stress -- that can make it worse. OK?
