May be pregnant
Posted: 07-14-08 19:36pm

I'm 16....and me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex on the 29th of May and we used the pull out method, my period had gotten established and it was always or close to the 17th or the 18th varied sometimes. In May it was on the 17th. Well next month which was June I had my period on the 10th. 7 days early and it lasted only 3 days and was slightly heavy but turned super light after a day If I remeber and now I'm getting head aces, dizzy, nausea, I had some pain in my lower abdomen and have been feeling tired more now. My boyfriend and me are freakin out because we don't know what to do.

I have been under stress all my life due to how my family was and things are finally better and I was feeling a lot better and healthier and never when I was under stress would my period last 3 days...

...a while later...

I took a few tests all negative (I think)and two of them looked like they could be faint positives but I took another and it said negative (way negative) so I think 'ok, not pregnant. yay!' but after a while I noticed that my areola's seem slightly darker than before, more head aces, tired more often, still getting dizzy, my joints hurt every so often now (never has happened before) T T, my nausea is getting a whole lot worst, for a few days I have been sensitive to smells I guess...I was at a fair yesterday and felt sick every time I got to close to a stand that had food especially sweet and greasy food and today when I opened the fridge and I couldn't eat because I felt sick from the smell of all the food and also today I noticed that my boyfriend smelled sweet, I never noticed that before o.o (I usually can't smell that well) my period got even shorter now 2 days long, started on the 8th this time and there are twinges in my lower abdomen, I've been very thirsty lately and funny thing is I'm more gassy like I am when I'm on my period.... .///., later today my boyfriend and I made a list of things I have been feeling lately. well at least we aren't freaking out about the whole thing just worried.

My boyfriend wants me to take another test to be sure or go to a planned parenthood center which is pretty far and we need a friend to get to it, so it requires a lot of careful planning. What do people on the forum recommend. Please any advice is great. n n thank you very much.

Never been pregnant and didn't know about a lot of these things till after I looked them up because I had them.

If you've been having consistant bleeding around the time you are supposed to be having your period then I would say you're not pregnant, especially when you said it was bleeding.

But if you're not worried then you should test. With all these symptoms you'll be able to get a positive on a hpt, if you still get a negative then these symptoms may have nothing to do wit pregnancy. I think you may want to go to planned parenthood so you could get a blood test and then have absolutely no issue as to whether you are pregnant or not--- AND ask about birth control.

Spend a few extra dollars and get a digital pregnancy test. They said "Pregnant" or "Not Pregnant", no guessing whether the line was dark or not.

A lot of pregnancy symptoms are way too similar to PMS, so a pregnancy test is the only way to know. But unfortunately, sensitivity to smell (especially if you like the smell of coffee and it suddenly turns you away) is most of the time associated with being pregnant (at least with 99% of my friends, myself included)

Please look into birth control. It's a simple solution to these types of worries, and they regulate your period as well.

A little tip, start writing down your periods... When they start, how many days between start and start (which is your cycle length), and how long they are.

Good Luck!

i agree with everyone else...if youre still concerned test once more and most definitely either start using condoms or go on birth control..its irresponsible to use the "pull out method" and chances are it will eventually lead to an unwanted pregnancy

Go to planned parenthood, its free. Plus, they have the added benefit of giving out birth control too. That way, you won't have to fear the next time you have sex.

The pull out method IS NOT birth control.

thank you for everyones advice. I'm sorta convinced that I must have some sorta disease or I'm really sick. my mother had me go to the doctor and I had a blood test done but I don't know the results yet. my belly is sorta puffy now, like I have a bump and my boyfriend is convinced that i'm pregnant but I think i'm just sick. can't wait for what the blood test says.

Now I know the pull out method is a bad idea...heh XD

I'm gonna be going to planned parenthood tomorrow or next week. I'm not sure yet.

I know exactly what you mean. I'm sitting here trying to convince myself that I have the flu or my period is just going to come later than usual and my boyfriends completely convinced that I'm pregnant. But yeah, don't beat yourself up about the pull out thing because so many people do it even though they shouldn't. Just, if you end up not being pregnant birth control would be a good idea because the anxiety of a pregnancy scare is killer. good luckk Smile
