Teen Pregnancy Forum - Please Help...asap

hello everyone,

starting on july 12th until august 2nd i have been taking a birth control pill every single night religiously, but from july 19th until the 2nd i've been sexually active during this time, unprotected and my boyfriend doesn't leave...stupid, i know. anyways, my period is only 1-2 days late, but i'm still worried as heck. my breasts are quite sore but the last time i got my period my breasts were sore until my period came...this is really the only symptom i've been having, but i feel as though i'm worrying myself to sickness...i bought a pregnancy test but i'm too scared to take it...if i've been taking the pill every night while having sex, should i not be alright? i've been on the pill for 5 years now, yasmin...but i can't be pregnant, i'm only 17!!!!

thank you....

the pill isnt 100% accurate, you can get pregnant while on the pill, so please take the test to be sure

You should be fine. When is your period due? If you period is late, take another test.

my period was due yesterday and i took the ept test where you can do 5 days before ure expected period, but i still waited until today to take it...maybe me stressing about being pregnant is keeping my period away...???

If you just started taking birth control pills, you might want to wait until your 3rd or 4th day on the placebo (period) pills before freaking out. Your period will not come the first day you start taking those pills.

hey, i basically went through the same situation as you, im 15 tho and i spoke to my doctor, who tested me several times, and it came out positive, i took a home test and it came out positive, and then another time it was negative...so i cant say they're completely reliable. id rather get checked by a doctor. if you havnt gotten your period yet, and your telling me your taking pills to try and regulate your flow again but no results...there is a larger percentage that you are pregnant. but id get a few opinions from doctors...hope youll be okay, dont stress too much, like you said, that might even be one of the reasons your period is late, take care<3

you can get a false negative. you could wait a few days and then take another test if your period still doesnt come. good luck

if you were pregnant, and you were 2 days late on your period there would be enough hormone levels for the pregnancy test to detect, so most likely youre not pregnant. though if your period continues to be late and youre on birth control, i would talk to your doctor about other problems you may be having.
