Q: Could I Be Pregnant?

Hi there, I am 17 years old and am currently 4 days late on my period. 2 weeks ago a condom split. Didn't think anything of it because it's happened before and I have been fine. It was only when I was looking through my diary today that I realised I was late. Did a test about 20 minutes ago and it came up negative. Though I have been pregnant before and it didnt show up positive until I was 6 weeks gone, at 7 weeks I lost the baby. I dont think I want a baby but I obviously do wanna know if I am pregnant or not and am confused. Could anyone give a little help please? Have a dr's appt booked but thats not for 2 weeks
thanks

There is obviously a possibility you could be pregnant. None of us can say either way. A pregnancy test is the only way to know for sure.

If you continue to miss your period, keep taking tests. Or you could wait until your doctor's appointment in 2 weeks.

How about since you don't wanta baby, you double up on birth control? If this is your second time being pregnant and you don't want a child yet, I think doubling up would do you some good.

Sometimes it is possible that you could be pregnant and it not show up on a home test until later on. One of my good friends was like 3 months late and took a test and it came up negative and she had to go have a blood test and exam at the doctor and she was pregnant. So waiting for the doctors appt. Would probably be best so you would know for sure. Good luck

Thanks. As for doubling up on birth control, half of it I cant use cause I am allergic to it and the pill makes me severly depressed. Gonna see my doctor though and hope im not but thanks

A. Quit having sex

or

b. Quit buying condoms from the dollar store.

Condoms don't break that easily, sh*t, I have filled them up with water before and threw them at peoples faces and they never broke, or tore.

And if you aren't knocked up, and want some condoms that don't "rip or tear" like you say they have then send me a message, I have a ton of them I could send you. Shocked
