Q: I Think I'm Pregnant.

I'm really scared, because I think i'm pregnant. Last time I had my period was at the end of may, so it's almost been 2 months. I had sex on the 24th of last month, and still havn't gotten my period. Last time I had my period, it was weird and didn't come for 2 months, but that rarely happens to me. I'm starting to feel sick all the time, as if I always have to throw up and it's making me think i'm pregnant. I had unprotected sex, which is the dumbest thing I think i've ever done. The guy promises he pulled out in time, but i'm not so sure anymore. I took a pregnancy test a week or two after I had sex, and it came out negative. So I figured I wasn't, but now i'm starting to think that maybe my period wasnt even due anyways, so it would come out negative no matter what.. I think I need to take another pregnancy test, but I have no way of getting to a store without my parents driving me and knowing thats what i'm buying. Do you think i'm pregnant? All I ever think about is this. I'm stressing out about it so much, and i'm hoping that that is keeping my period from coming. But I don't think my luck is with me. The laws in my state, state that you can have an abortion without your parents knowing, but how exactly does that work? Any advice about any of this would be appreciated.

It sounds like you may be pregnant. You should try to get a test done as soon as possible. If there is no way to get a hpt then you should go to your doctor and he will give you one for free (if you are covered by health care) and confidentually. It's important to get this checked out right away because if you want an abortion (not something I believe in) then most doctors wont do it after the third month...And you sound like you are somewhere between 2-3 months preg already if you are. Also if you choose to keep the baby (for yourself or to give up for adoption) you need vitamins and prenatal care that is essantial to yourself and the baby.

Good luck and let me know how it goes.

If I were you I would take another test. It sounds like you could be preg. But take a test anyways. Or go to the doc. & you can get a test there. If you don't want your parents finding out then have a friend drive you there if they have their license, or a close family member. I'm 15 & im going through the same thing so if you need someone to talk to you can im me on aim broquesbbyg4eva or yahoo kayla_4724_2002! :)

I took another pregnancy test today, and it came out negative. For some reason, I feel like my tests are wrong, because I really feel as though i'm pregnant, it's been sooo long since i've had my period. I'm confused?? :( I need help.

Go see a doctor and find out for sure. That's really the only way to know.

While I don't condone lying, if you are having trouble figuring out how to go to the doctor, since there are payments due, etc., without your parents' knowledge, I suggest that you start by telling your family that you're sick, don't feel well, whatever you need to say that's believable. Get them to take you to the doctor. If you think your mother would come into the examining room with you, have a note prepared ahead of time that says, "i need to speak to the doctor alone - without my mother, please help." the nurse will make sure that you have that opportunity. Then, tell the doctor what's going on. The truth. All of it.

I don't know how old you are, but I was pregnant when I was a teenager and am now the mother of 6. My father and mother were not parents that I felt I could go to for help, but things have a way of working out. If you are pregnant there is a lot to think about. But there are options. Feel free to send me a message or e-mail if you need to talk. I think you can just click on my name and get to my profile for information on how to do that. If not, post a reply here. I'll see it.

I'd go to the doc. Because sometimes the pregnancy hormone just isn't strong enough in some women for a hp test to pick up. And if you are pregnant you need to know asap.

My mom never had a positive hpt in her first trimester with my little brother, she also had absolutley no symptoms of being pregnant with him so you never know. Go to the doctor. By law they have to keep what goes on between doctor and patient confidential, if he tells you parents (which he wont) you could sue his practice and you would win. That shows you how much this law is taken seriously. Dont worry your doctor will not tell your parents and if you are pregnant you need to start taking care of yourself and the baby. And hey you could not even be pregnant. There are a lot of things out there that make you not have your period.

Good luck.
