I am 16 years old. I have been with my b/f for 2 years and we did have unprotected sex this month. He didnt come, but im still worried that I am pregnant. I haven't missed a period or anything, but the day after the last time that we had sex, I started having really bad cramps. Thats was 2 days ago. This morning, I woke up really sick to my stomach and vomitting. I do have ulcers and I am used to having stomach problems, but I never throw up from them. I also have back problems. My breasts aren't sore. I cant tell if these are pregnancy symptoms or not. I am on alot of medication and do overdose alot, but the night before I woke up sick, I took alot to get to sleep. I dont do it on purpose, but I never throw up from it. The day that I started getting cramps, I did eat alot of junk food. I havent been able to eat at all today. I go to a phychiatrist for depression and I get worried very easily so my period is almost always late by a few days. Its usually on the 28th. My period isnt due for another week. I can't tell my mom cuz she will kick me out and I have no where to go. I know cuz she kicked my sister out. What should I do? Am I just being paranoid? How can I tell if they are signs that I am pregnant? I cant be pregnant while im 16!! I am trying not to worry about anything so my period isnt delayed so any help at allwould be appreciated. Thank you!

Unprotected Sex

Alecia,

you are in a very big mess girl, you gotta get some serious help, like now. Anyone having unprotected sex can quite possibly be pregnant. If you are, you must get yourself sorted out with your medications and depression. I have anxiety and depression to, but I have it under control, especially now i'm pregnant, my doc put me on ciprimil which won't hurt the baby, and I am feeling better than ever. Taking cocktails of pills is naturally going to make most of your problems worse. Sleeping pills are nasty, and overdosing on anything can possibly eventually kill you, not to say if you are pregnant, what it would do to the baby. You really need to see a specialist about your stomach problems, that sounds real bad. As for your mum, I can understand she will be upset, but as for actually kicking you out, it doesn't sound like she is a loving or supportive mother, so you are going to have to seek help from a pregnancy centre and get some help before you actually tell your mum, so that you aren't left homeless, unless you can move in with your boyfriend?? You have lots to think about alecia, and we are always here to help you in any way we can. Good luck!

So what are the chances of me being pregnant do you think? I havent missed my period or anything, so I dont know. Is it normal for signs to appear this early, we only had sex about 4 days ago. Also, my dad passed away 2 years ago, and since then my mom and I havent gotten along. She is supposed to be getting married to a new guy so she will not put up with me being pregnant.. I know. She thinks that I take advantage of her and I know that she will not support me cuz she hates my b/f. My b/f is trying to tell himself that i'm not pregnat, he doesnt want at kid either. What can I do? What should I say? I've never been in this situation before, but I really can't do this by myself. Thank you so much for your help

Thank you so much for your help suzi. I live in utah, in the united states. I am really scared and I know that I need help, and I know that there are places that I can go, but I want support from my b/f and my mom, I just dont knwo what to do. I have 3 brothers and 3 sisters that would tease me for the rest of my life if they found out about it. My brothers wife helps my sister when she needs the morning after pill, but I dont know if she would help me, cuz the main thing is I want to keep it from ruining my moms life.. Cuz I know thats what she will throw in my face. I dont want to get more depressed than I already am. I dont know I am so confused. I dont know if I can take a test, I am way too scared to. I will try tomorrow. My best friend is there 100%, but I dotn have a car and the only clinics that give free tests are 40 miles away in salt lake city. I have no money to go there or get a test and my mom wouldnt ever give me any. Thanks for all your help. I need as much as I can get from anyone that knows about it, cuz I dont! Thank you.

Baby Your Baby In Tooele, Utah

Alecia,

here is something that may interest you, go to this site and check it out.

***

seems to be a financial assistance program to help pregnant women in tooele with their pregnancies if they have no money, there is also an email address for a baby nurse at the bottom of the page who is in your town who I am sure would be willing to talk to you confidentially through email. Hope that helps a bit.
