Me and my boyfriend had sex about A month and and 2 weeks ago. 2 days before we did I had just got off my period . I STILL HAVENT HAD MY PERIOD YET AND IM SCARED SHITLESS!!!! like i threw up 2 mornings in a row last week. its getting harder for me to like sit down on the floor with out getting cramps. My belly button is swollen (because of my belly button ring) and my bladder feels hard and near my tailbone feels really sore. I have to pee probably like 7-10 times a day and I just dont know what to do. I asked my boyfriend if he would get me a pregnancy test and i will pay him back and he keeps sayin no...youll find out if you start to show in a few months and he keeps telling me to tell my mom...i have NO brothers or sisters and my parents work ALL the time...if i tell my mom...i wouldnt be suprised if shed hit me or something... and theirs no pregnancy tests at my schools clinic !

PLEASE HELP WHAT SHOULD I DO?

if your bf doesnt want to get you a preg. test you should really decide if you really wanna be with him! that is one of the most important things to happen to a woman and if he's not mature enough to help you out in a SERIOUS situation then you really need to decide if he would be mature enough to have a baby!! did you guys have unprotected sex?? how late is your period??

Do you have a friend you could ask to get a pregnancy test?

You should also find the Planned Parenthood near you

Planned parenthood gives free pregnancy testing. Maybe you could get some money from your parents for a 'school project' *wink-wink*, pregnancy tests don't cost very much. They even have them at the dollar store.

Have you checked for a planned parenthood? Sometimes they give free or, at the very least, low priced pregnancy tests.

http://www.plannedparenthood.org/

It's a government funded organization that provides sexual health and maternal and child health service. They will be able to help with this entire situation if you need it.

It's a resource for teens in your situation and I highly suggest you look into them. Just enter your zip code on the site and find one near you.

If its five blocks from your house then whats your problem?
That's walking distance.

If your worried about your parents asking where you are going then just say you're chilling at a friends house for awhile.

Are you in a city with a bus system?

If a Planned Parenthood is by you then you need to be somewhere in town...

Put a coat on, and go get a pregnancy test. It is the only way you are going to know if you are pregnant and you cannot wait until you "start to show". Your child will need prenatal care, or if you decide for abortion you need to do it early, not late. You cannot afford to wait.

Where do you live where five blocks is a 45 minute walk?

They sell pregnancy tests at the dollar store. If you don't see them on the shelves, the cashiers probably keep them behind the counter because they're stolen a lot. Just walk up and ask for one. They'll either cost $1 or $2, depending.

They have a variety of tests at Walmart. The off brand works just as well as the name brand. If you're ever confused, ask someone in the pharmacy to help you.

I've bought tests at Walmart and Target as well as the dollar store. I don't remember ever paying more than $18 for a box of tests, and it was a multipack. There should be an Equate brand test available at Walmart, and it should not be more than $20 with tax.

Or you could walk to Planned Parenthood or take public transportation there, or maybe ask a friend if you can borrow their bike. You can also ask your school nurse about testing options. I know you said they don't have tests there, but he/she can either help you to test or will help you find a place where you can.
