I'm going to have to say she's not. Perhaps a female opinion on this next statement would be good, but I've had three serious relationships (including my wife) and ALL of them have had several times where they've been late or outright MISSED a period and not been pregnant. It can be caused by about a billion different things, including but not limited to:

Stress
Change of Diet
Excercise Change
Illness
Depression

I mean, it's always good to be cautious, but it's unhealthy to be nerve-racked about it. By a test in a day or two. Chances are it'll be negative. It'll set your mind at ease, or at least let you know one way or the other.

As for "absitenence without abstaining"... you really need to pick one side of the fence or the other. Frankly, people your age get into more hysterics over stuff like this (I've been one of them) because they DON'T have all the information. Getting it on TFP is decent, as most people generally don't speak on topics they have no clue about... but having the knowledge BEFORE something like this happens is generally a better plan.

No, I'm not slamming you... I've been in your shoes, and it's not a fun place. I wouldn't worry much about it. I do have a nine year-old son, and though he was not "planned" I'm still terribly glad he's here today. However, if what you described as your current sexual relations is true, your chances are VERY slim.
