Im 15 years old and I think im pregnant. The reason being is because one night I ate some chips before I went to bed and I woke up in the middle of the night throughing it all up. I couldnt sleep at all that night. I kept on tossing and turning. I didnt get any sleep. Every since that night I been have pains in my stomach and that was like a good two weeks ago. I havent been eating too much, and that's not me because I eat alot. Im just so concerned about myself. I no at the age 15 I shouldnt be having sex but I believe everyone makes mistakes and this is one big mistake I made. What should I do or what could be wrong with me. Crying or Very sad

Take a test. The go see your doctor. If the test is negative ask him/her to put you on birth control. If it's positive talk to him/her about your options. A test will cost you $15 at your local drug store - and it will set your mind at ease. But for most tests to work you have to have missed your period or at least be very close to it (there are some which work up to 4 days before you miss your period - first response is one) as for what could be wrong with you if you're not pregnant - I don't know - it could just be a virus. Ask your doctor - it's the only way to know.

I would go take a test right away. If possible go have a blood test since you are irregular. If that is not possible just go to the drug store and get one. There are some out there that can test early. Or if you know you should have had a period already, then you shouldn't have a problem.

Just my thoughts!!!

When was ur last period? Wait till ur late for ur period to test tho and try to buy a pack of 2 or 3 (i reccomend first response brand) what will u do if u are preg and r u and the guy still together? And how long age did u have sex, did u use protection? If u turn out not to be, hopefully u will get on birth control. Goodluck

Its hard to say since you havent mentioned your use or birth control,your last period,typical symptoms or when you had sex.Take a test to be sure-if your not preg,get on birth control so you dont need this worry again

You are probably just making yourself sick. A woman can actually convince herself that she is pregnant and develop symptoms of pregnancy. Also, on a normal basis, if you stress about it, your period can be late (or not come) and you can make yourself sick.
So, go to the clinic. If you have a family planning in your area, go there. It is free if you are under 18 and they do not need parental consent. You can get an accurate test to make sure you are not pregnant and you can look into going on the pill or something. Plus, they will give you free condoms that you need to use to protect yourself, not just from pregnancy, but disease as well.
Everyone does make mistakes, and I sincerely hope this one does not cause you eighteen plus years of work. Let us know how you are and good luck to you!

Fauls Pregnancy
I wanted to be pregnant so bad in jan/fab, that I really thought I was. I was having so many "symptoms" and then my period came. I was so devisated because with how I was feeling, I really thought I was pregnant! Funny thing is, the very next month I did get pregnant! And funny thing about that is, I felt the same way as I did before. So eather it was all in my head the first time, or I was and miss carried and then got pregnant again right away. Not sure. But if you worry enough and think enough about it, your mind can trick you into thinking there is something going on that isn't.
