I got my period in the beginning of august
and it lasted 3 days...It's now about to
be september 17th and still nothing. My
breasts have been tender for a couple of
days and for 2 days now I have been peeing
every 10 minutes...And even if I go to the
bathroom sometimes I feel like I have to
pee but it won't happen. My stomach has
been hurting alot...And I feel really
gassy. I'm 19 and in my 2nd year of
college. Me and my boyfriend have sex
without a condom for about a year now...(
not smart) but he pulls out before he lets
go. Do you think I am pregnant? If so
please write me and let me know what to
do. It is my 1st baby and i'm kind of
scared of my bf's reaction.

First thing would be to head down to the
chemist and grab yourself a pregnancy test
kit. They usually have two in a box so
you can double check the result if you are
still not sure.
If it comes back positive, go and see a
doctor who will be able to confirm the
result for you.
Is the withdrawal method the only type of
contraception you are using? It is not
very reliable at all, and trust me you can
never rely on men to "pull out" at the
right time! The pre-cum on the end of his
penis even before intercourse is enough to
get your pregnant. Use protection!!!
Hope everything works out for you.

Like savannah said, the withdrawal method
is not very reliable. You should
probably make an appointment w/ the
doctor, and in the mean time, go to your
local drug store and purchase a home
pregnancy test.
Your doctor can #1--administer urine and
blood tests to determine if you are indeed
pregnant, #2--talk with you about
contraception, safe sex, pregnancy, etc.,
and #3--prescribe you birth control
pills.
Since you're very late, and have other
symptoms of pregnancy, I would suspect
that you are, but there is no way to be
completely positive until you go to the
doctor and get a blood test done. You
know, even if you aren't pregnant, the
absence of your period is very odd and
should be addressed by a doctor anyways.
Good luck.
