Some women have no pregnancy symptoms.
You could be pregnant, you could be having
a wonky cycle, you could have just missed
a period.
Why don't you go pick up a $1 test and
find out?

dont you have to be 18 to buy those?
plus they are so expensive, i looked at
walmart and its like 20$ just for one!!
ive never even heard of ones that cost a
dollar where can you get those? i dont
have a credit card, i looked online and
they have cheap ones like that but you
have to have a credit card

Oh my goodness! No you don't have to be 18
to buy one of those! That seems to be a
really common beleif and I can't
understand why... I seriously wonder who
is spreading that rumor.
They sell them at most dollar stores (like
dollar tree or dollarama) for a dollar.
Walmart actually sells single store brand
tests for less than $5 and planned
parenthood will probably give you a test
for free.
Even if it does cost $20 that is far less
than the cost of raising a baby and if you
really are 10 weeks along you are running
out of time for options.
Good luck hun. I know this is scary, but
you've got to find out.

No you don't have to be 18 buy one. Your
complaining about a $20.00 test? Just
imagine how much a baby will cost. Just go
to the Dollar Store/Dollar General/Big
Lots and pick up a cheap one...they work
just as good as the more expensive ones.
You have to either take a test or go to
the doctor. Sure your period may be
irregular because of your age, but if
you'v had unprotected sex then there's
always the chance that you could be
pregnant. Make sure to read the directions
on the box to get the most accurate
results.

There is FREE pregnancy testing at family
planning clinics (such as Planned
Parenthood). You can also, as the previous
poster suggested, go to the dollar store.
The most expensive tests at Walmart
might be $20 - but the cheaper of
the tests is well under $10.
You have options. You can talk to the
women at Planned Parenthood about what
your options are. Don't close any doors
just yet. You can say you won't abort
because you won't do that to your baby,
but the real question should be: Is having
a baby the best thing for the baby? Is
keeping the baby the best thing for the
baby?
Is having the baby the best thing for YOU?
Good luck!

So what happened that makes you think you
are pregnant, besides the period missing?
Did a condom break? Maybe you are just
under a lot of stress?

You're 15, so your period might not be on
schedule. I know mine was at that age, but
many girls aren't. Did you have
unprotected sex? Is there any chance you
could of gotten pregnant?
And as many others said, you don't need to
be 18 to get a pregnancy test, just like
you obviously don't need to be 18 to get
pregnant. And if the idea of spending 20$
on a test is that hard for you to
understand, you should be looking at
abortion or adoption because a child costs
a ton more than that. Ingi asked some
really good questions and you need to
think about what's best for the baby,
especially if you've already decided that
you couldn't possibly have an abortion.
If you are pregnant, you need to figure
stuff out fast. You're running out time to
get an abortion. And you need to see a
doctor fast. And tell your parents,
regardless of your choice. Each option has
pro's and cons, please choose wisely.

I was 15 when i got pregnant so i can
relate to you. You need to test now,
you've already missed two periods so your
options are running low.
Good luck

thank you all for your helpfulness
my mom kicked me out i dont know how but
she found out that i had sex
so that means i cant work anymore i
watched a neighbors kids every day after i
got home from school for 100 a week
so now im living with a friend of mine but
i dont know how much longer i can live
here
i also found a place that will give me a
free pregnancy test
oh and its not that spending 20 is bad its
that i dont want to waste 20 if there is
no way i could be pregnant
also we did use a condom and it was only
one time but i dont knwo if he used it
right or not because i dont know anything
about condoms
also i will NOT have an abortion, if my
mom would have been there for me which is
apparent she wont be i would have kept the
baby but since she wont be and i dont know
if my boyfriend will be or not im going to
give the baby up for adoption if i am
pregnant
im sorry my mind is going a mile a minute
right now

would she kick you out over that?

thats a really stupid reason for kicking a
person out. i think you should talk to her
even though your probably angry at what
she did, and then sit down with her and
talk about how you think you could be
pregnant. Yeah shes going to be upset, and
is going to say alot, but you have to
understand your her daughter and shes
going to be a little livid about this
right now, so let her vent.
Second, if your thinking your pregnant why
even have the thought of "waisting" 20$ to
FIND OUT if you are pregnant? It would get
a load off your mind, and now your wiser
to know you should either A wait to have
sex the next time or B get on birth
control. Third, if your on the streets
basically now cuz you sont know how long
you can stay with your friend, why would
you even consider keeping the baby? Ok you
dont need to have an abortion, but you
could give it up for adoption, to a couple
who is financially stable and has a good
home and is loving and caring. Right now
your situation isnt good. And its not good
for raising a child hoping from house to
house. Now you have to think about whats
right for the baby if you are pregnant not
whats right for you.
Good Luck.

I can't imagine any parent kicking their
child out for having sex. I am by no means
denying that this is the case, but I'm
wondering if there's more to the story.
You really need to find out if your
pregnant because you are making an aweful
lot of premature decisions based on
speculation.

Good.
Also, if you are under 18 social services
will get you a foster home in most states
as far as I know. (I'm not sure about if
you are pregnant, though.)

You got kicked out? That's awful. I
think you should talk to your mom again,
people don't deserve to be shunned for
life just for a single mistake. Wut ever
happened to second chances?
