About 2.5 weeks ago me and my long time boyfriend of three and a half years had sex. We began with a bit of foreplay of the oral kind during which time he ejaculated. Usually he is the type that ejaculates once and than afterward has dry ejaculations; however there have been times...rare times, usually during oral sex, that he will ejaculate again. Afterward he put on a condom and we had sex. Right after sex, I pulled off the condom. We were joking around at the time and I grabbed the tip and pulled it off during which time i heard the snap as it sprang off him. We make it a habit of inspecting the condoms we use to check for any tearing or breakage, and this time we discovered a small tear on the lower side (near the base not the tip). We even checked it with water and sure enough there was a hole through which water dribbled out of. At the time we worried about it but concluded that considering he didn't recall actually ejaculating, odds were it torn when i foolishly pulled it off. However, recently I've been experiencing headaches, heartburn, digestion problems,semi frequent uriniation, a small yeast infection,fatigue, and mood swings. - Yet technically all of those symptoms can be explained. I am transfering to another college next semester, and since i'm very family oriented it's been a very stressful decision. I'm taking 3 sciences along with their corresponding labs and other anthropology and statistics courses in the university i'm attending so that and considering i'm a natural born "worry-wart" has made me a very stressed out person which would explain the headahes and fatigue and heartburn (which runs in my family also). In addition, I have a small yeast infection every 7-8 months or so although it has been a year I think since I've last had one this is still not a completely abnormal occurance. I am one of those people who drink water all the time so the semi-frequent peeing isn't all that rare either and maybe i'm just being observant with what would be my regular urination. I also just the other day had a girls day with a friend during which time I ate a huge variety of junk food that included nachos, hot cheetos, pickles, and a corn dog, which probably accounts for my stomach problems. I expect my period at the end of the month although I am not always punctual (sometimes i'm a day or two early or late) it is always around the same days which should be everywhere from 4-7 days from now. I'm 18 years old and although I'm sure my boyfriend is the "one" and he says no matter what he's behind me 100%- I do not believe now is the right time for a child in our lives.I realize I might just be overreacting however I would greatly appreciate any advice and input anyone would have to offer. Please.

You'll know by now, but you can't take a pregnancy test two weeks after sex, I don't think...anyway, I don't really understand why people post all their symptoms and ask if we think they're pregnant when they can just wait a few weeks and pee on a stick.

There's no such thing as overreacting when it comes to deciding what you're going to do if you're about to become a mother, especially at your age. What you need to do is educate yourself about your three choices (adoption, abortion, or motherhood) and make the decision that is right for you and your boyfriend. If you want an abortion, you need to make a decision sooner rather than later because it needs to be done before the second trimester. If you want to adopt out your baby, you need to research either open or closed adoption and it would be a good idea to acquire an attorney. If you decide you want to keep the baby, you need to make sure you have the money and the support to do so. Good luck.

You can take a pregnancy test 2 weeks after sex. I didn't read your entire post, because I know enough to know you had sex. Sex can mean pregnancy.

When your period is due, take a pregnancy test.
