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!!!
