me and my boyfriend have been together for a long time, and we're obviously having sex (we don't use condoms). i've been having some "signs" if you'll call them, in the past 3 or 4 weeks. for example: spotting (about 2 weeks ago), very little motivation to do anything (i'm generally a hyper teenager, i always have to be doing something), weird cravings for food i don't even like (fish, seafood, etc.), crazy mood swings (my boyfriend and family have begun to notice them in tha past 2 or 3 weeks), breaking out on my back (i normally have clear skin, and if i do have a breakout it's on my face), i've gotten sick twice (once in the morning, and once after eating lunch at school), i use the restroom at least 12 times at school, smoking a cigarette makes me feel sick to my stomach and usually end up putting it out half way, i'm very emotional. there's a few more, but i can't recall them off the top of my head. i took a home test and it came out negative. but my friend told me she took 4 when she suspected she was pregnant, the first 3 being negative.
it would be really nice for a few words of advice, or just someone to talk to. Smile

Symptoms are caused by hormones. It takes less hormone to trigger a positive pregnancy test than it does to cause symptoms.

Do you want to be pregnant? Why are you having sex without condoms?

i mean, i want kids. if that means having them now, then i guess so. when we first got together we used condoms. but after awhile we started using them less and less. and it ended with us using none at all.

16 and possibly pregnant
i have been in your exact position, when i was 16. now i have a 4 year old daughter and another on the way. if you're pregnant than you know you only hae two options. if you choose to keep the baby then one bit of advise i have for you is: don't count on anyone but yourself. my daughters sperm donor went on and on about how much he wanted a kid, however when reality set in he was gone. so be careful with your heart. remember it's about you and that baby don't let anyone drama bring you down! good luck
