is there anyone who is pregnant or was pregnant?

im really scared that im pregnant. ive been safe both times but i havent gotten my period yet. ive also been really nautious and having the go to the bathroom alot. Someone had told me when your pregnant you smell diferently and what happened was i usually like my moms perfume and she wore the same one and i feel like im going to puke whenever i smell it.

Can you take a pregnancy test?

Have you missed your period yet? If you have, I would suggest getting a home pregnancy test just to make sure. Sometimes the stress and worry that you're pregnant can make you feel pregnant even if you aren't. Stress can also make your period late.

However, your symptoms do sound like early pregnancy to me. I'm currently going through all of that right now and I'm a little more than two months along. Definitely get a test if you aren't sure. If you can, get to the doctors and have them do a blood test. The blood test is definitely more accurate than the home pregnancy tests, especially if you haven't missed your period yet.

im going to the drs today. so i will talk to her about it. Im about a week late and usually its right on time. Im not trying to freak about it because I heard about the stress thing. Im just really scared because im 15 and idk what to do. And I know everone on her is going to say i was stupid for having sex but if your going to yell at me you can yell at almost every teen i know.

It has been about 2 weeks since i had sex the first time. and about a week since the second time. would it still show if i was pregnant in the blood test?

post in the pregnancy/ parenting forum.  You'll get more responses

when you say you were safe, did you use a condom? if you did, and used it correctly, and there wasn't any issue with it, then the chances of you being pregnant are very very slim so try not to freak out yet. you're young, and i don't think it's unusual for someone your age to have an irregular period now and then.

i'm not going to yell at you for having sex at 15, i'm just going to suggest that if things turn out fine and you aren't pregnant, you talk to your doctor about going on birth control if you plan to continue having sex, and use a condom with the birth control so you won't have to go through this again.

Typically you don't see symptoms til you are farther along than 2 weeks. If you're a week late on your period though you may show hormones on a pregnancy test.

If you end up being pregnant, consider your options- keeping it, adoption or abortion. All are worth considering.

Also, hold off on having sex until you are able to be responsible and use plenty of protection, and are able to deal with the consequences. Just because the other kids are doing it doesn't mean it's okay.

If you're on a 28 day cycle, you had sex during your most fertile time. You would (most likely) ovulate 14 days after the first day of your period. Implantation of a fertalized egg can take up to 10 days. Since pregnancy symptoms are not experienced until after the egg implants, the odds that you'd be experiencing them this early are slim, but possible.

I have the same question as others: what do you mean by "safe"? Nothing except abstinence is 100% "safe." If you correctly used some sort of protection (other than the pull-out method) there is usually less than a 10% chance you'd be pregnant (and it's typically more like 2%). Since you have just become sexually active, is it possible that protection was NOT used correctly since you don't have experience using it?

Your docor should be able to tell you if you're pregnant at this point. If not, I will second the other statements to request birth control pills. I have taken them since I was 16 or so. When I was 21, I goofed up some pills and wound up pregnant so I suggest using a back up method as well. Having sex is a huge responsibility so be careful!

Good luck and keep us posted!

This isn't necessarily true. A few days after I conceived I was having symptoms, and two weeks after I conceived I tested even though my period wasn't due for another five days, and tested positive.

It sounds like this girl had sex right around the time she would have been ovulating, so it's quite possible she's pregnant and just as likely she's having symptoms.

I had symptoms before I even tested positive for both of my pregnancies! The first time I was peeing non-stop, almost like when you have a UTI, but it didn't hurt. I took a home pregnancy test and it said negative. Waited a couple days and went to the dr and took a urine test there and it was positive.

Then for my current pregnancy I got really bad heart burn. I took 3 pregnancy tests, all were negative. Took one at the doctors office (a urine test) and it came back negative. The next day I went in AGAIN becuase I was sure that I was, and took a blood pregnancy test- found out from that one that I was, in fact, pregnant. So you COULD be having symptoms already.

I forgot to add something!

With my most recent pregnancy, I vomited at work on a Thursday. I took a pregnancy test on the following Saturday and it was positive. It was 4 days before my missed period. Along with the other two ladies, I say it's definitely possible to have symptoms this early, it's just not too common.

 sorry if this is rude, but then every teen you know needs to be yelled at!! There is no reason you shouldn't have used protection (i'm not saying you didn't since you said you were safe).

Supposedly from some survey, searched but couldn't find it, 1 in 5 teen wants to be a teen mom! that's some pretty f'ed up stuff!  If it turns out you're not follow jules advice and get on some BC and use a condom ALL THE TIME!!!!

 u know that is rude and she said she was safe so your comment doesnt help it infuriates. quoting statistics that has nothing to do with her situation is pointless she obviously dont want to be a teen mom because shes scared. She is a child that is reaching out for help so please act like the mature audience she assumes you to be an offer her support and useful advice with all that said jessica even if you are pregnant there are options and you should discuss those options with your dr.

I am anxious to here what the result of your blood test is.  Are you preggers? 

Anyway, I was an accidental pregnancy, and my mother was a teenager as well.  For her, it was her first time ever having sex when she got pregnant with me.  She was 17, 18 when I was born.  I was reall tough on her, and she was terrified.  My father was 20 when I was born.  They married because my mom got pregnant which was the wrong thing to do, they got divorced when I was 4.  Now I sort of followed in my mother's footsteps and also had an accidental pregnancy but I was 30, and it wasn't my first time having sex.  I was drunk and being irresponsible. 

But if you are, I know you have to be terrified.  I know I was when I took that pregnancy test and it came out positive.  I cried, screamed, contemplated suicide, contemplated abortion, adoption, giving the baby to the father, all kinds of nonsence.  When I saw that first ultrasound at 7 weeks,  I saw his heartbeat, a tiny one in a funny lima bean shaped thing inside my body.  It was real!  I knew then that I couldn't kill that tiny thing, so abortion was out. 

Then I decided to adopt, but the father told me no way, he wasn't going to sign the papers for that, he would take the baby.  So I said okay.

Not long after, the little bugger started to kick.  And about that same time I saw an ultrasound where the "lima bean" had a huge head, a tiny round body, arms and legs, and he was moving!  I was gone, I fell in love. 

I had my son since, 5 months ago, and he has been the greatest joy in my life.  I never knew that I could love somebody so much as I love him.  I would do anything for him, even throw myself off a cliff if I had to, I love him so much.

So no matter how scary it may seem, when you hold that tiny bundle in your arms you will not regret having him or her.  That child will be your everything, and you will wonder how you ever lived without him.  I can promise you.  Babies are gifts from heaven, from God.  You will fall in love.

Jessica, what have you found out?

i went to the drs yesterday and im not pregnant. there is a chance that it is a fake negative since the time hasnt been to long yet. So if i still don't get my period she said to take an at home test in a week or so. So hopefully im not pregnant :D

&& i got birth control so i am much more protected now

Good for you on getting the birth control. It's very responsible of you.

 all I'm saying is don't be stupid! Jessica Good for you getting BC. Remember it really needs to be take at the same time everyday for maximum effectivness, but that still isn't 100%!! You still need use a back up method
