Hi everyone, i'm a 15 year old male, and I need to get a few things straight... I would have posted this in the teen pregnency board, however it appeared to be cluttered with alot of irrelavent junk, so I thought this board would better serve my purpouse.


I really just need to get some questions answered, any help is greatly appreciated.


Its a pretty long story, so i'll try to spare everyone the pointless details.


Me and my girlfriend (16) had been sexually active for quite some time. She was on birth control and we used condoms religiously, however we had a small scare when a condom broke on us. One or two weeks later she informed me that she was running late on her period, then after she was a week late I purchased a two pack of over the counter pregnency tests. She took them within two hours of each other, and both yeilded positive results, although I never saw the tests, I just took her word for it.


A few days later I told my dad about it, we have a pretty good relationship, and I expected it to be ok, and it was - at first. But then a few days after I told him he abruptly decided I had to go back to live with my mother who lives relatively far away. The next day I was on the bus heading that way, then when I arrived my mother informed me that she had called my girlfriends mom, who had given her another test, which came out negative.

So basicaly, I just need to know if this is even possible.


I know its highly unlikely, but ive done a bit of research, and I theorize that it could have been possible if she had gotten pregnent, then abosorbed the embryo pretty early on, in which case the false positive results may have been the result of some elavated hormones that were lingering around...

Shes a very insecure person, and I could see her pretending to be pregnent to lock me into a relationship with her, then brining up the negative results once things start to go wrong - however, in the 8 months ive dated her ive never caught her in a lie, so i'd like to have definite proof before I accuse her of anything.

Anyhow, thanks to anyone whos bothered to read this mess of drama

all opinions are welcome and appreciated.

Especially eHealthy
If she was on birth control pills, the chances of her getting pregnant were very low.

A lot of times, women say they are pregnant when they aren't. Whether it be for attention or to hold onto someone, I don't know.

You can accuse her of anything you want, but i'll be willing to bet she'll deny it and claim she 'miscarried'. Again, a lot of girls do this. I'm not saying she did this to you, or that she lied. However it is far more common than you may think. On ehealth alone there are multiple fakers and liars that come and make false claims about pregnancy. Why people do this is a mystery. Yet it happens all the time.

You should let this all go. I understand it really affected your life, but at this point it is past. There is no pregnancy (or baby) and you have your entire life ahead of you.

I hope you find peace with all this. Good luck.

Thanks for the help, I agree with you for the most part, I understand that there is a good chance she has lied.... The only reason I want to bring it up is because shes been blaiming me for leaving, and I think its really her fault....
