okay, so im 14. and i have a loving boyfriend. we get really close sometimes and well, once we werent protected. my period is late and i cant get a preg test. i think its about 5 weeks late now. i was wondering if i just cut back eating for a week or so, if it would.... stop me from being pregnant? if i am. im not skinny, im like mediumish. not fat. will this help? i have no idea. im so scared....
Nothing will stop you from being pregnant if you already are except for an abortion. I am not suggesting this is what you should do. However, if you wait too long, you can't do that either. You may consider giving the baby up for adoption as another option, but either way you still have to EAT and take care of yourself.
This should have happened before you decided to have sex, but anyway you can still educate yourself on pregnancy.
I suggest you do some research online...

Go to planned parenthood. They'll give you a pregnancy test for free, and they'll help you with your options if you are indeed pregnant.

I highly doubt that not eating as much would prevent it, but it wouldn't be healthy for the baby if you are. Go to a clinic and get a free test, they can't/won't tell your parents. Or just save up a little money and get one from cvs for no more then $10.
