Q: Pregnant or Paranoid?

Hi. My name is Rachel. I'm 17 years old and a junior in high school. My fiance (Who I've been with for three years and lives at my house) had very quick unprotected sex a few days ago. He only went in about twice and was nowhere near ejaculating. I am a very nervous person in nature, and I don't know if I'm just freaking out for no good reason or what. I stopped taking my birth control about a month and a half ago because my verbally abusive father told me it was making me fat. I have had severe depression and social anxiety/panic disorder for almost five years now and I've been making myself sick with worry. I also have nerve damage in my entire left side from getting hit by a car four years ago. My mother knows I've had sex before but I promised her I would never do it again. If I was pregnant I might kill myself. My father would probably beat the crap out of me and kick me and my fiance out of the house. I can't have a baby right now. Please tell me what to do. I have no money for a pregnancy test and don't know when I could get one. Please, any advice would be greatly appreciated. Am I just overreacting? (sorry for the long post, I'm panicking).



Oh, and one more thing. Because of my psychological conditions, I am completely terrified of having any sort of pelvic exam. I feel a panic attack coming on right now just typing about it. Once, my mother took me to the doctor because I was having very bad ovary pain. The doctor told me that I should get a pelvic exam and I freaked out and cried so hard I threw up. I don't know what that's about, but I know I would have to be completely sedated to have anything like that done to me.

try tfind out if you ha a planned parenthood around you, they can do tests for free. Also, i think you need to find a safe relative/friend/anything to go to for support. Good luck

I completely agree with kerryn. Make sure you get a test, if your just freaking out it will calm your nerves and stress can make your period late.
