Q: What's Wrong With Me?!
asked by: barons_girl_504 on September 18th, 2003

Hey, something has to be wrong with me. I am now 2 and a half weeks late on my period. My period is always regular. Me and my boyfriend have had unprotected sex, but he hasnt came in me. I took 2 pg tests (the cheap ones) and they both came out negative. My mom told me that I didnt take them at the right times. So far there havent been any symptoms except for being extreemly fatigued. So I guess now im going to just wait it out until next month. If I dont get mym period for october, I guess ill make a doctors appointment. Should I wait? Or should I find out now? Im having extremely mixed emotions...Please help me with your advice!!

I think you should go see a doctor. Pulling out is not a method of birth control and its possible to get pregnant so there's a good chance you could be. Go get checked out and in the future use protection or get on the pill.

Girl, I am sorry to say this, but chances for u to be pregnant is pretty high right now.

I think u should get to a doctor pretty soon, get a blood test coz it's the most accurate of all, good luck.

Again With the Pullout Method And Unprotected Sex
I'm going to make a huge post about these two topics. First of all...Do you want a baby? If you say yes go and read "someone told me to post this here"

and think about that.

If you don't want one, (and I need to know how old you are...And I find it insane that your mother knows and is condoning this?????) then you need to read the next lines very very very carefully:

pulling out a penis doesn't mean you can't get pregnant. You can.

If you don't want a baby (or a disease!!!!!) use this revolutionary thing called a 'con-dom'.
It prevents things like babies and aids. (well at least it helps.)
Sad

I know that pulling out can cause pregnancy. Im not stupid. Like I said, we do use con-doms. But on 2 occasions we did not have any. I am 17 years old. My mother is not "for" this. She is just as curios as I am. She only wants the best for me. She, in all reality, prays for the tests to come out negative. I went with my boyfriend to get blood tests to search for stds and hiv/aids. We were both negative for everything. So that is no concern. My mother does not want me to be pregnant, but if I am, she is going to be behind me through all of this. I have the best mother anyone could ask for. As for my boyfriend, he is 19. He is not ready for a child as neither am i. Mentally we are, but physically we arent. We want to have lives and it is practically impossible to do that with a newborn, yet alone any baby. I do not feel that having this child would stop me from fufilling any of my dreams. Yes, it would slow me down. But that is the reprecussions that I am going to have to deal with.

So now the question is that do you want a baby?? Really.

Ask urself, kinda like when rachel got pregnant on "friends", phoebe told her the test was negative, and she was sad, then she knew she really wanted the test to be positive. So how do you feel?

Oh yea also, sounds like u do have the best mom!! I wish my mom is like urs, but she is just perfect the way she is, so I have no complaints. Back to the subject, u seem like a very mature girl who knows what she wants in life and what she has to do to get to her goals, and seems like u arent just yet another teen girl who is clueless, u got some tests done, which is very smart!!!

I hope u know what u really wanna do, consider everything u can think of, then make ur right decision.

You're Not Stupid Yet...
You had unprotected sex but don't want a baby. That sounds pretty stupid to me. Sorry. But if you are allergic to steak and it makes you so sick when you eat it that you want to die, but you order steak anyway and eat it, that's stupid. You know what's coming. You are going to be deathly ill. It's the same with havingn sex without a con dom. You are taking a chance of becoming very 'sick'.

Look I understand that you have apparently made a lot of mistakes; but that is no reason to take you horrible bitterness out on everyone. The day you become immaculate, than I give you permission to criticize me. Are we clear on that?? Nobody else here judges, so what makes you ms almighty?? Unlike a lot of people.. I have patience.. What is your actual puropse for coming into this post and judging everyone?? Is it because of your insecurity caused by your mistakes in the past (and probably the present?) nobody asked you to come into this post...If you have nothing nice and/or intelligent to say to anybody besides using cow and steak metaphores, leave. If you have any children...I pray to the lord jesus christ almighty that they dont inherit your coldness mixed with bitterness that you seem to tote around with you in your pocket.

I dont think shes being bitter, she is also a mother, she just tells it like it is....Being real even if it hurts some feelings. I think shes good, but shes just hard because some teens need to hear it hard to get it through their heads that sex has consequenses...

Lmao nikki! Thats what I basically sent her in a pm I just wrote! Anyways, I agree with the point that frozenglue is making, however just because she is more persistant does not make her bitter or mean. She is just honest. Not everyone is as assertive as she is. Now I always try and be as helpful as I can, but because I give people 100% support they assume that I am ok with 13 year old having sex, which I why I made the post that I did earlier. Frozenglue is like our forum mom, she wants what is best for us and you all know that sometimes the only way to get through is to hear the cold hard truth, without the sugar coating! I am behind her all the way!

Good luck and best wishes

Yeah I like the way she is so hard. It is good to hear someone tell it like that. I would but I also like to be a little nice and helpful to the girls that need advice. Im not always behind abortion but I will be there for anyone who needs to talk.

I understand that she is being straight forward with me. That is not what upsets me. Its the fact that she talks to me like I am stupid and immature. Calling a person stupid is not being striaghtforward and blunt, its being ridiculious. My mother doesnt call me stupid, so who gives frozen glue the right to? Sad

I agree with tanya! She wasn't saying that you are stupid, just that your actions are stupid. You are a very smart girl and messing up or re-routing your goals because of a stupid mistake one night isn't worth it! Just keep to the goals you set for yourself and think about having babies later in life!

Good luck and best wishes

Thanks Girls...i'm the Forum Mom? Lol...
:d baron girl, I am sorry that if what I said hurt your feelings. I really really really am not trying to do that. I do want you and other teens to see that (like others said) there are consequences of having sex. I am a mom, and I do not resent my past. I got pregnant at 21 to a man that I loved and lived with. We never did marry, but I was so glad I had that child. He turned my life around and he is a wonderful 13 year old today. A week ago today I found out that after trying for almost 5 years, I am pregnant again! :d hoping for a girl this time around. But i'm going to be telling her the same things I am telling you all. Sex should be waited on until you are at least mature enough to handle it. 13, 14, 15, 16, and sometimes 17 are usually not old enough. I was 18 when I first did, and I still wasn't ready. I am a very happy mom to be and am hardly bitter. I just really do want whats best for you guys...I hate to see you throw your lives away, your dreams...Your goals...Just so you can stay home and take care of a child. However, staying home to raise a child is the best job you could ever do. It's the most important thing on this planet. A child needs your guidance. Be there for it. I didn't go back to work till my son was almost in preschool. I was so glad. I would have missed out on so much but enough about that. I just want to see you all go on and do something for yourselves before you get tied down to a child/husband or both. Do something you've always wanted. Go to college, go to another country, travel....Work for awhile..Whatever it is. If you always dreamed of being a singer....Try it! Or and actor or a teacher...Whatever it is.

I just am trying to give the low down, the bottom line, the hard truth about sex and babies. I see so many younger girls come on here boo-hoo whining about "oh I might be pregnant and I didn't use a condom what do I do?" well, that's why we're here...To try to help you through. Our advice is usually about the same. Try to find someone to help you. Parents teachers someone. Then get tested right away. If you are not, then be smart the next time!!!!! Use some sort of protection! If you are, then well, you'll live through it. You have to do what's healthy for the child and you. That's your life now..If you are pregnant. That baby is your life. When you were a child, hopefully your parents made you their life and now it's your baby's turn. Give the child a chance, the same one you were given.

That's all i'm saying...If you are having sex, use protection. If you are having sex, think about what you are doing. This is not going to be your one true love of your life. Respect yourself, give yourself time to grow up.

I'm sorry if I offended you but I am allowed to come in here and voice my opinion.
By the way read the post where I said you sounded like you had your head on your shoulders. Laughing

Just to Get the Record Straight....
Just to let yall know...I am not a 13 year old who is sexually active. I did not become sexually active until I was raped at the age of 15 by a close family friend. I respect her straight forwardness, but she does not have to trteat everyone on this post like a child.I am no, and far from, a child. Like I have said many many times, I understand what I did and now I must facece the fact that I might be pregnant. I dont know how I went from getting awesome advice from the friendliest people, to being treated like a little girl who performs her daily routin like a chiken with her head cut off. Yall have to remember, im not ladythug. So, therefore, I do not expect to be treat in the manner that she was treated. But on another note...I would like to thank yall for being honest and straight forward with me. I do appreciate it because not many people will be honest with me.
