Hi, I'm 17 yrs old I'm now a senior in high school, well me & my now ex-boyfriend were having sex throughout the 4 mnths we been dating the 3 mnths it was unprotected yes I know it is dangerous to do so. I had my last period June 7th. We also had sex on my most fertile time which was June 25th on July 15th I used the restroom & had light pink bleeding but it wasn't on my underwear so I put a panty liner on & few hrs later went back wiped again nothing on the panty liner & it was red this lasted for about 4 days but my periods have always been right on time. I'm natuseated in the mornings, sleepy alot my lower back hurts every now & then & the week I should have had my period which was July 7th I had sore breasts which have grown a cup size, I'm thirsty alot I also make frequent trips to the restrooms I got a pudge now & cant get into my blue jeans no more. I also have a weird feeling in my lower abdomen & it feels like a weird sensation like butterflies or bubbles & I know it isn't gas cause this has been happening for a few weeks now. Could I be pregnant

Have you taken a pregnancy test? Why not? If you ever think you might be pregnant and your period is late/missing, this is your first step. It can save you a ton of worry.

You wouldn't feel butterflies just yet even if you were pregnant - this is way, way too early for such sensations.

Take a test. They are free at planned parenthood. Or pretty darned cheap at the drugstore.

Just like Ingi said, best way to find out for sure is to test. I can say that it sounds like you could very well be pregnant but you won't know for sure until you test. You'd be 8 weeks pregnant at this point so you'll need to get a doctors appointment and start pre-natals. And as well, you wouldn't be feeling anything but gas at this point. People don't feel any fetal movement until the 16th week at the absolute earliest.
