Hi ime nikki this is the first time I have used this so bare wi me!!!!
I am 17 years old and I have fallen pregnant, I have taken 3 home tests and they all have come up posotive. But for some reason I cant get it into my head that I am. I was on the injection but I stopped 7 months ago going to my appointment because it was messin up my system really bad my periouds were so irregular and when I did come on it would last for ages and be really heavy.So I cant work out how far gone I am because my periods were so irregular. I have booked a docrors appointment this wednesday but I feel I will look stupid because I not on the injection. Does anyone know if any information is confidential? For example can say my mum or dad ring up the doctors reception and ask if I have been for my injection can they pass that information on to them? Oh god I hope not. I am aslo worried because my sister fell pregnant when she was 15, I just dont want my family to hate me and feel ashamed of me, it makes it awkward because my sister has got a child. I just dont know what to do I dont know when I should tell my family they may never want to talk to me again or look at me in the same way. I dont want them to hate my boyfriend either!!!!!!! Some one please write back

Hey hun~welcome to the forum!!

I think it's really important that you sit down and talk to you parents about this. If they supported your sister, they'll support you. It's important that you sit down with them and approach this situation like an adult. Your parents are there to help. Don't worry about the shot thing. I'm pretty sure they won't call and ask about it.....But you should explain to them that you stopped taking it and why. Good luck hun and I hope you stick around :)

Hi! When I went to the doctor they explained to me a new law called hippa, i'm not sure what it stands for, you could probably search it on the internet, but they can't give any of your medical information out, as long as you are in the us, i'm not sure about anywhere else. I'm 21 and I still had to lie to my mom and tell her that I was on birth control pills because I knew she would yell at me. So I wouldn't worry about the shot thing either. Would your parents really not trust you enough to wanna call and see if you've been on it? Good luck with everything!

Thanks for replying. :d its nice to know you can talk to other people about it.

Your righti think that is the best thing for me to do have a proper adult conversation with them both, its just I need a push to go and do it.

I find it hard to look foward to having a baby becuse of all the worry it does get you down. I dont want my mum or dad to be ashamed of me. I always think of other peoples feelings first never my self.

Sorry to keep going on but I have just started a new job and I dont want to let them down, I dont know if I would be entitled to maternity pay or what help I can get wi money!!!!!!

I got my first doctors appointment this wednesday I am going to tell them when I know all the details form the doc think thats best

lv me :)

I know what it's like to feel "ashamed".....I'm 18 and I know my parents really don't deserve to be put through this right now....I seriously have the best parents in the world, and while I know they're disspointed in my decisions, they love me and would never be "ashamed of me"

it's very overwhelming at first~i won't lie!! It's hard to get excited when there's so much to think about. Just take one day at a time, and remember that there's a little person growing inside of you at this very moment, who your gonna love soooo much!!! Whenever I get worried or stressed, I pray. Good luck hun, and we're always here for you!!!
