Take a test. If it comes out you are see a doctor asap and find out what harm if any that those drugs you were on could cause. Sorry I can't help out more.

Stop birth control and abstain from sex until you find out. Yes birth control could harm the baby!

Oddly...
As scary as it is...I was worrying my self so much that I took a test and it came back positive...Now could there be anyway it could be wrong? It's obvious that i'm not ready but would never get an abortion...Any advice?

Really until you see a doctor its never for certain. As for other ways you can give it up for adoption since you don't want an adbortion. My suggestion would to be to look into adoption agencies they will help you though out the whole thing and get support ( or let him know) from the father. He might be ready even if your not, also your parents and other members of your family might be interested in adoption your baby. Sorry to hear your not ready but that would be the best thing to do.
But first ting tomorrow contact a doctor, ( if you can't afford one you can get help from may different places). Then if you really are not ready start looking for a parent for your baby. If you look into this now you don't have to worry about it later. No heavy lifting, take it easy, but defenatly go see a doctor.

If your scared talk to him/her they will help you... There is alot of support whether you think you have it or not. I was young ( 18) when I had my first and I wanted to keep my baby, my parents supported me 100 % though they didn't approve but they were there and thats what you will need.

It is very very rare to get a false positive, so I would go on the assumption that you are pregnant. You should definitely go to the doctor to confirm though. Do you have any idea how far along you are?
