sometimes it is difficult because there private parts are not fully developed but if you gently push above the private parts if it is a male it's penis will come out from being "retracted" and you will be able to tell pretty clearly. be careful with your guinea pig while doing this because some guinea pigs don't like being turned over (it is possible to do it without actually turning the guinea pig onto it's back) or you putting your hands near there private parts.

Can your guinea pig get pregnant at two months with out a male?

No female mammal, Guinea Pigs included, can get pregnant without a male. However, female Guinea pigs sometimes show unexpected pregnancy because of two simple factors: a) their sex can be difficult to determine when they are young, so it is not unusual that a young male is mistakenly homed with females (or vice versa), and b) they are fertile from a very young age. It is not unusual that the litter is separated into females and males too late.
