Are you late on your period? Do you have gas? Are you constipated?

There are many reasons your stomach might be bloated. The first conclusion - especially without testing - should not be pregnancy.

Take a test.

I had my period a couple of days ~ a week or 2 after I had sex with my boyfriend. We only had sex once, and after my last period as of today I am 2 weeks late.

if you had your period then you're not pregnant. If you're planning on having sex then use contraception,the last thing you need is a baby at 14

Missing your period probably has more to do with your age.

Why are you having unprotected sex with your boyfriend? Condoms are really cheap. There isn't any excuse not to use birth control if you can get it FREE at planned parenthood.

You can get pregnancy tests at the dollar store. Or free at planned parenthood. No reason not to get that done either.

It was a week or 2 after sex though. I have gotten mine after that one, and how can you explain my stomach? I don't have gas, and I'm not constipated. I've only been sick once, and it's been a little over a month or two since we had sex.

Again if you've had your period then you're not pregnant. Go to the dollar store

Poking it out?

Your stomach will not be your first symptom. Your first symptom will be a missed period, followed shortly thereafter by boobs that hurt so bad, you'll want to cry when you take a shower.

Again I'm going to ask WHY ARE YOU HAVING UNPROTECTED SEX WHEN BIRTH CONTROL IS FREE?

Also most women don't show until they are 16weeks so that's 4 months and *IF* you are pregnant which i am almost certain about you would only be 8weeks or so

Your stomach is unrelated to any possible pregnancy. We can't explain your stomach unless you're pushing it out or you've gained weight. As Dannzibelle said, you wouldn't be "showing" this early in your pregnancy. You've HAD a period, you wouldn't be showing, there is nothing here to make you think you're pregnant. Stop having unprotected sex and take a pregnancy test to ease your mind.

i'd like to add even though you have HAD your period as everyone looks to as a definite sign of not being pregnant, at least 6 of my friends have had their periods as far as up to 6 months pregnant. so that is no definite sign everyone is different. the best answer for anyone to do is be tested be it too early for home test get a blood test done they are inexpensive if prescribed by your regular doctor and if you ask them to keep it private and not notify your parents just yet then they will respect that as long as you keep them updated.

Your friends are experiencing something that is VERY rare. Many women do experience bleeding during a pregnancy, but it's often very obvious that it is not a period. It does not come once a month, last for a 5 days, yadda yadda yadda. On to the fact your friends had bleeding up to 6 months, that is VERY dangerous. They were at serious risk for a miscarriage, if they did not go see a doctor, I'm very surprised they have children. Bleeding that late during a pregnancy is very rare, which makes your statement almost statistically impossible. Anyone bleeding past 3 months into their pregnancy should see a doctor immediately. Only 20-30% of women bleed during the first trimester, not even close to half, and about half of those women lose their children to a miscarriage. I know you're just trying to be helpful, but what you have experienced is so very rare, it scares the crap out of young girls who are still getting their periods and now think "Great, I could be six months pregnant."
