Late period

Okay so I had a period on the 24th of May and then on the 15th of June I had protected sex I haven't had sex since then. On June 25th I got my period again and now it's July and I was supposed to get a period on the 27th but it hasn't came yet. Could I be pregnant even tho I already had a period ?

No. It's unlikely, although contraception like condoms are not 100%. I wouldn't be concerned about preg but I am concerned if you are not regular. It's normal to have a cycle every 28 days, but other lengths of time indicate imbalance. The easiest way I find to help women with the length of the cycle is to eat 2 TBPS ground flax seeds from day one of your period, which is the day you bleed, until day 15. Then take 2 TBSP ground sunflower seeds or sesame seeds daily until you bleed. This also helps with PMS, which women with long cycles tend to have. Try this for six months and any acne should improve also.
From the pattern you're describing you seem to have longer cycles than the average 28 day cycle. It is not unusual for the length of the cycle to vary. If it is anywhere from 21 to 35 days from the first day of your period to the first day of the next period, this is probably normal. When in doubt , do a pregnancy test to check, and if your cycle is not more or less monthly you should see your OBGYN. Certain birth control methods such as pills, Nuvaring , and the patch will help regulate the pattern of your period .

Better to take a pregnancy test just to combat your doubts. You may see implantation bleeding during pregnancy and assume it was a period. Implantation is when the conceptus adheres to the wall of the uterus roughly 9 days after the ovulation. If you are sure that the sex was protected, then wait for the next period. You are 19 y/o and it is okay to have irregular periods at your age. The normal cycle lasts from 21 to 35 days, therefore, you are still in the frame.
