Q: teen pregnancy symptoms ?

Hello, as you can see I'm new here. I'm seventeen years old and I'm really worried that I could be pregnant.

My last period began on March 11 and it ended around March 16. I had sex with my boyfriend on March 17 (we used a condom), and I haven't had my period yet for this month. This was the first time I've ever had sex.

I don't usually keep track of the specific dates that I get my period (the only reason I know for last month was because it was my boyfriend's birthday), but I do know that my period is fairly regular and I get it once a month. I usually experience minor cramping a couple days prior to my period, but haven't experienced this yet. A couple of weeks ago I had a white discharge that lasted about a week (sorry if that's too much info). I usually get that prior to my period, too, but nothing.

I have not experienced any pregnancy symptoms aside from fatigue, but I am sure that this is due to the fact that I am buried in assignments at school and just returned home from Europe last week.

I sincerely hope that this is just me being paranoid and nothing else, but what do you think? Shouldn't my period be here by now? When should I test? I'd be very appreciative of any help or advice. As you can see, I'm only seventeen and the thought of pregnancy sends chills down my spine. Thanks in advance!

I'd say test now! You're already late, so any pregnancy test would be accurate. Of course, stress and the travelling itself could be the cause of the late period (and are much more likely than a conceived pregnancy at the very end of you period while having protected sex). Good luck though!

Well i would get a test. thats wat i did when i didn't have a period when i was so post to, and i was prego. i didn't really show many symptoms, that i realized, so i was in the same spot you about 2 1/2 months ago! are ur breasts sore? do u pee alot more? or even just a little more? do u feel tired more than usual? well i peeed a little more than usual, my breasts were alittle bit sore, but i didn't feel tired cause i was to worried that i might have been prego, and i was. so make sure that u really arn't showing any signs, some women don't experience any for a good while. but even if u are or not having any symptons i still get a test to clear your mind or to tell u ur about to make a life! i hope this helps!

Thanks for your input!

I'll test as soon as possible because I'm getting really worried. I don't pee more than usual, my breasts are not sore at all, I'm just a tad more tired than I usually am. Like I said in my original post, I'm pretty sure that the fact that I just returned from Europe is the reason why I feel a little more tired than usual. I'm also in the midst of tests and projects at school, so that has been waring me out.

I really, really hope that this is just a late period, but it's never been this late before. Crying or Very sad

Don't Be stressing it too much. Take a test. Did you say you only have had sex one time? I dont think that is very likely to already be pregnant, but I could be wrong. If you find out your not pregnant, then get on birth control ASAP. Don't tell the boy friend either, if he is the type to not want to use a condom. or he thinks it would be cool to cum inside you. Becuase he will use the fact your on birthcontrol to not use a condom or cum inside you. Until you at least have done what you want to do in life, then be extremely safe. its not that hard. -- I hope that everything works for the best! But I dont think you are pregnant! if you used a condom...you should hopefully be safe. Smile
