Am I pregnant?

Just after a bit of advice from you lovely ladies, in your past experiences do you thunk I could be pregnant?
I'm F21 in relationship of 3 and a half years with M24 and we have been having unprotected sex for over a year. I stopped taking my pill when it discontinued in Feb18 and we decided I shouldn't have to put foreign tablets in my body and decided we would just be more careful, pull out etc
My period was due 26/06/19 and It still hasn't come, of course we live together so it's very likely we have had sex while I'm ovulating, I've been on holiday so it's slipped my mind a little but it's over 20 days late now. Of course it's been a whole year and I haven't been pregnant yet so it's making me think I'm maybe not fertile but this is the first period I have missed in over 3 years.
Any advice is welcome, Also i will be doing a test when I get back to the UK!

I'm f20 and tbh after I went off the pill I was still missing some periods every now and then as it takes your body quite a long time to get back to normal. It took my body a year and a half to get back into a regular cycle.
I constantly thought I was pregnant, when I wasn't.
Spent so much money on tests and having negative outcomes.

But now I actually am pregnant, so be carful if you aren't ready for a baby because it could potentially happen when you aren't using forms of protection.

I am going to get this in early before you start getting the sarky/frustrated comments (which I do understand), yes, you have been having regular unprotected sex so given that your period is 3 weeks late I’d say you are more than likely pregnant.

If you are not trying to conceive then I would suggest you get alternative contraception sorted because natural family planning doesn’t sound like it’s working for you very well. I hope you get the result you want when you take a test.

@DAR125 my period has been like clockwork since about 3 months after coming off contraception, that's what's making me think it's weird this one is taking its time getting here! I'll have to test when I get back to the UK tomorrow ☺️Congratulations on your pregnancy, blessings to you ❤️x
