Here is my scenario: I'm 18 and I have only had my period for less than 2 years. I have never had sex. My period has never been normal or regular and it pretty much comes and goes as it pleases. Sometimes I don't have it for months and months at a time. As of now, I havent had it for at least 3 months now. My problem is that I think that when I was fooling around with someone (not having sex) that semen may have managed to go through a layer of clothing and maybe make its way inside me.
Since I havent had a period since god knows when - I have no idea if the little soldiers got in or not. After that night in question I encountered the tiniest bit of blood - barely considered a 'drop' and that was it. That was the main reason I thought it might have been conception.
Recently, I have been eating a lot more but I haven't really gained any weight. My breasts may have gotten bigger but they were sore for at least a week straight.
I'm wondering if these things could mean that I am pregnant. I have been under a lot of stress so I am thinking maybe that is the reason why I haven't had my period for a long time and that maybe my body is just finally deciding to develop which accounts for the breasts thing.
I'm very worried because not only would being pregnant ruin my life and a baby's life, but my boyfriend would clearly break up with me because we have never had sex and he will probably assume I was with some other guy behind his back. Not to mention the cazillion other reasons why its bad.
Are there any tell-tale signs that might help me to know or at least put my mind at ease before going to see a doctor?

MissieChan answered Wednesday May 12 2004, 6:47 pm: Some girls, like yourself, do have these abnormal periods. It's nothing to worry about. Sometimes for girls it can take a few years for their body to finally get their period to come on a monthly basis. But sometimes this doesn't happen and their periods are crazy and dont come on a monthly basis. Thats ok. Theres nothing wrong with you.
This also doesn't mean your pregnant. You didn't say you had any morning sickness and thats a clear sigh you would be pregnant. Eating more doesn't always mean your feeding two people. Maybe your just coming in late for puebity. Also after 3 months I think you would see your belly grow a bit more than normal by then.
If you want to find out more about whats going on I do suggest you go to a doctor to see if you are pregnant or not. PLus if you finally want to get your period on time you can ask your doctor about birth control. Not only will the pill or patch keep those little soilders out of you but Birth Control is known to also help girls regulate their periods. [ MissieChan's advice column | Ask MissieChan A Question ]

Siren_Cytherea answered Sunday May 9 2004, 6:58 pm: Hmm. Lessee...I had this problem - sort of. If you don't want to go to a doctor, the only thing you can do is wait for your period to come. The eating a lot more could be because your body's still develloping, and same thing with your breasts.
As for the tiny drop thing of blood, I would think it's actually a good sign. Blood is unlikely to get out if there's a conception. Because, a period is an unfertilized egg disintegrating. It sounds like spotting, which is a really, really, really light form of period.
So all things considered, I wouldn't worry too much, but the only way to know for sure is to go to the drug store and buy a pregnancy test. And/or go to a doctor. Good luck!

jetaime answered Sunday May 9 2004, 1:57 pm: Well the chances of you being pregnant are slim, semen dies as soon as it reached the air. But you could go to a local drugstore and buy a pregnancy test. [ jetaime's advice column | Ask jetaime A Question ]
