Yes. You can still get pregnant. We don't
know if you have ovulated. You can ovulate
before you have your period.
Did you use protection? Condom?

You should take a pregnancy test in about
3 weeks.
DO NOT HAVE SEX WITHOUT A CONDOM. EVER.

It will come up negative if you take a
home pregnancy test now, your hormones
won't have changed enough in 3 days to
make a difference to the little blue line.
 4 weeks. You'll
have to wait until December before you can
know for sure.

Actually, pregnancy tests are accurate in
10 - 14 days. Which was why I said 3 weeks
(21 days). By then she'll have enough HCG
in her system if she were pregnant,
to throw the pregnancy test into positive.

Don't expect any signs - a lot of girls
never get any sign they are pregnant. Just
take a pregnancy test in 3 weeks. You can
go to planned parenthood and they'll give
you one for free.
I also think you need to use birth control
so this kind of thing doesn't happen in
the future. You are far too young to be
getting pregnant.

Oooh are they? You learn something new
every day -shuts mouth-
Sowwi for wrong information.
It's just having had to buy one the other
day, reading the back it said it was 99%
accurate after 28 days, or up to 3 days
before your first missed period if you got
an ultra-expensive 'early bird' test.
thanks for the
correction!

You may not get ANY signs at all. I didn't
when I was pregnant, absolutely nada. No
regular sickness (although looking back at
it, I did throw up rather a lot in those 3
months, not on a daily basis though), no
headaches, my boobs felt fine.
Your best bet is to wait and take a test.
AND GO ON BIRTH CONTROL!

Wait until you know first. Until then,
don't worry about it.

should i?
YES. If you are pregnant then yes.
All round YES. You should definitely tell
your mother, no matter what decision you
may come to (abortion/adoption/keeping the
baby). It is important that you and the
baby are looked after properly and get the
medical attention you need, you will
struggle to get that without your mother's
help at your age.
She may be angry, she may get cross but I
tell you what, you are her daughter. She
loves you. No matter how upset she may be
at your decision, she will be there to
support you.
I was so scared when I found out I was
pregnant, so upset, the only person who
knew was my boyfriend, I was stressed out
and that alone was making me feel even
worse than the pregnancy. Eventually I
told my mother, after 2 weeks of knowing I
was pregnant, and booking an appointment
for an abortion. She came with me and she
stood by me, she helped me through it,
even though I was terrified at the thought
of being put to sleep (for the abortion).
She was upset that I had become pregnant
at 18 but she supported my decision and
she looked after me.
As for ways of telling her, don't do what
I did. I ran into her bedroom, burst into
tears and the whole sorry story came
tumbling out in a mashed-up fountain of
words. Plan it out first, if you cannot
face telling her face to face (which is
always the best option), you may want to
write a letter, explain your situation,
what you plan to do and any ideas on how
you could go about your decision
(pamphlets on abortion/adoption/some
knowledge of the costs involved in raising
a baby & how you would continue at
school). If you show her that you are
mature enough to think about what you are
going to do she will appreciate it more
than you walking up to her saying "I'm
preggo n I'm gunna keep da baby".

did you not listen to what people were
telling you?
YES you can get pregnant without ever
having a period you ovulate (release an
egg) TWO WEEKS BEFORE you're period- even
your first one.
Good luck
