Take all this for what it's worth.
1) Since your period wasn't normal, you may be pregnant. Do a pregnancy
test.
2) Having sex without birth control and infection control (condoms)
shows you weren't thinking, your boyfriend wasn't thinking, neither of
you care or you're both too young to deal with a grown up issue. Once
you figure out which one it is, please try and deal with it safely.
3) You lied (said you wouldn't and you did). That's disrespectful to
the one you lied to but more so to you. Aren't you worth being honest
about?
Hope this helps and write back anytime for more information.
