it does sound like you are pregnant but go a buy a pregnancy test found your local chemist just to find out. if you are pregnant what are you going to do. will you keep the baby or have abortion,or they is adoption.
Hope this has been some help

The best thing to do is to take a pregnancy test. If you don't want a baby then why are you having unprotected sex? If you are pregnant you have options but from now on use condoms every time or try and get on birth control.

Again, if you cannot see a gynecologist, how will you get pre-natal care? (That is the care you get for pregnancy)

Where do you live?

not liking condoms and not wanting a child... hmm?

Why do you not have a guardian to take you? are you on your own or do you just not want to face your parents?

If you have access to your insurance you can go to a gynocologist without parental consent. Or you can pay out of pocket.

Do you not look into options like if you dont like condoms but cant have birth control are you just using hope as a contraceptive?

Where are you located? I can help you find a location to visit. Do you have transportation?

If you are pregnant you need to recieve care. There are so many teen girls on here that dont tell their parents they are pregnant till they are 3 or so months in so they dont make them have an abortion... by 3 months I had been to the doctor like 5 times!

Carrying a human inside of you and hiding it, isnt like hiding the fact you have a bad grade in math. Its serious and you need to take care of yourself and your concieved child.

Get yourself a pregnancy test and atleast start from there!

Oh and ps I dont know what your whole parental/guardianship ordeal is.. but when it comes to gynos... you need to start going yearly pregnant or not. The reccomendation is either 15 if you are sexually active.. or 17 years old if youre not. and you are both of those so you should be seen by a gyno anyways.

ok girl listen to how much sencce youre makeing?!

you just "dont like" ondoms

well have fun with a baby then! because thats whats going to happen if you dont GET SMART and use protection
if you cant go to a gyno without a aprent then your parents dont know youre haveing sex which is VERY DANGEROUS
you need to be tested for stds because you COULD have them
you also need pap smears done

for god sakes just stop haveing sex. okay>?

Yeah you could be pregnant. If i was you i would go buy a home pregnancy test. I dont know why everyone is being snobby with you but if you want to you can write me for advice.

Hope everything works out.

ohhhh man
well lets see you could go to planned parenthood and get tested
explain to the dr that you think you might be pregnant so they can test you
