Am I Pregnant?????


Question Posted Monday May 22 2006, 3:22 pm

Ok, so I'm 15 and my boyfriend and I have together for a good solid 7 months. We're sexually active, but trust me when I say that our relationship is about more than just sex. We respect eachother and this is the first relationship I've had that really means something to me. I'm not positive if I'm 'in love' but it sure comes close.
So, we've had sex maybe 8 or 10 times since we lost our virginity to each other a couple months ago. At first, I was totally "I'm ALWAYS going to use protection!" but we've gone a few times without (but we've made SURE to pull out). I know that that there are still SO many risks but I thought we were being careful. Well the more I've been thinking about it (and it's been increasing lately) the more I think I might be pregnant! The thought alone totally freaks me out!! I'm adopted and my birthmother had her first child at age 13 and me at 15 and I've always promised to myself not to follow in her footsteps. I've been researching everything online and I havn't had any of the 'earliest signs of pregnancy' EXCEPT for my missed period which was supposed to come yesterday but I've had missed/late periods before. Apart from that I havn't been bloated or tender anywhere and I don't know if it's just paranoia, but my stomache's been looking a little "poochy" lately. The last time we had unprotected sex was maybe 2-3 weeks ago but again, he pulled out wayy before he came.
I'M FREAKING OUT, PLEASE HELP!!

Ok well if you think you have the slitist chance of being pregnant then you need to go to the store and buy a pregnancy test and if it is positive tell your adopted mom its very important you get to a doctor. I have done the same thing had un protected sex and I have been luck enough to have never had a skiped period or anything but yeah i know whats its like to have someone close to you have had a baby at the age of 13 because my bf's mom got pregnant with him at that age! And if you do need to tell someone if they dont know your sexually active then you maybe a little in trouble but they will love the baby as much as posible evan if they are simi ashamed! Good Luck I hope I helped!

pulling out of sex before the man ejaculates, doesnt mean some stray semen hasnt escaped earlier, this can happen all the time, so this is not a good way of contraception. What can I say, besides I know it feels much better without a condom, but also it feels much ,MUCH better to not be pregnant. When you are so young that is.
Please use condoms, or go on the pill. You dont wanna risk getting pregnant, at your age. Trust me, babies are beautiful, but they strip you of your life and freedom, and possibly your partner. Always use protection!!! there will be times for babies when your older and have lived a little yourself.

theres still a possibility of you being pergnant, because before he cums, he leaks 'pre cum' out which is basically the same thing!!
Your missed period may as you say be normal for you, but it may also be because you are stressed or worrying about it ... if your getting up everyday and thinking i have to come on today or im pregnant then you won't because you are stressing yourself over it!!!!
also your stomache could be because your worrying!!
As i have experianced this brfore, i would advise that you try not to worry yourself over it, wait maybe a week or to and if you still havn't come onto your period then go and see a doctor for a pregnancy test!!
Good luck

Take a test. It's too early to be freaking out like this, but it's late enough to take a test. Always use protection, pulling out doesn't do squat.

bound_heart answered Tuesday May 23 2006, 10:38 am:
Pulling out is not a sure-fire method of birth control. Pre-cum contains enough sperm to get your pregnant. By the time your boyfriend ejaculates, there is already sperm inside you.

Now, onto your anxiety about the possibility that you are pregnant... you say that you have had missed and late periods in the past. This may just be one of those instances. You may just be a day late. You do have to consider, though, that you could be pregnant. Get yourself a home pregnancy test. They are accurate if done correctly. Take it with your first morning pee, if possible. If you are pregnant, then that is something that you'll just have to deal with.

I admire your knowing at such a young age what kind of person you do and do not want to be. I know that sometimes it's difficult to make such decisions and stand by them. Let's say that you're not pregnant right now (I'm crossing my fingers for you on that one). You have made the decision that you don't want to be like your birthmother. This should be enough of a scare for you to take action on that decision.

Not taking birth control or any sort of precautions is not the action you want to take if you want to avoid a pregnancy. There are several methods of birth control that will not only decrease immensely your chances of pregnancy, but will also regulate your periods. They will not alleviate the risk of STD's, but it will let your mind rest easier about your chances of pregnancy.

First things first, though, get that pregnancy test!

Good luck,
bound

I know what you mean about using protection. I had always promised myself I would but now we use the pull out method too (I'm now vstarting birth control though, I started taking the Pill Sunday.)

Anyways, like you, I have had scares before about being pregnant. Almost every month actually. This month I was four days late and last month it was five. And like you, I thought my stomach was bloated too. But that can be because right before your period you retain water which can make you look "poochy."

Honestly, I don't think your pregnant. Have you been stressed lately? Eating poorly? Those could all be reasons that you may be late, other than just being a normal teenager. If it doesn't come in a week I would suggest getting a test but I think as long as you stop worrying about it (which is hard, I know!!) you will start soon. Anyways, hope I helped and send one to my Inbox if you have any more questions I'd be happy to answer them!

tasuki answered Monday May 22 2006, 5:03 pm:
Just because you've missed your period doesn't mean anything. It could be just a little off, or it could be stress from worrying about being pregnant. Don't worry about it unless you go a very long time without your period, and you show other symptoms. But never, ever do the "pulling out" thing again. Guys can pre-ejaculate and not ever notice it, and there is sperm in that. It's more than having a lot of risks--it NEVER works. If you keep doing that, you eventually will get pregnant. Please, for your sake, get on the pill. But for now, just come down, stop being so stressed. You're most likely fine.

loves2shop86 answered Monday May 22 2006, 4:50 pm:
hey!! oohh man ok, first of all just because your period is ONE day late doesn't really mean much, i mean i don't even know if i would consider that late. however, the chance of you being pregnant is very likely. if you didn't use protection and you are not on birth control, then there is a big chance that you could be pregnant. i'm not trying to freak you out, but i can't tell you that there is no chance. just because he pulled out doesn't mean much... i mean there is pre cum there and that can deffinitely get you pregnant.

what you should do is wait a week, and if you still don't have a period then go to the store and buy a pregnancy test. this should give you your answer. just try not to stress and freak out because that will delay your period and make matters worse for you. and if you are pregnant since 2 weeks ago, you would NOT have a bloated stomach so you are just freaking yourself out by thinking that... but that's normal.

lastly, you say you had unprotected sex about 2 weeks ago... meaning that was 2 weeks after your last period... right in the middle of your cycle! it is never EVER a good idea to have unprotected sex unless you want a baby, but doing it at that time in your cycle (when you ovulate) is a bad, bad idea, because you are most likely to get pregnant then. keep that in mind for the future. for now though, just wait a few more days and if you don't get your period, go get the pregnancy test! until then, try to stay calm! and in the future, unless you want a baby use protection. let's face it, you can even get pregnant while using condoms or taking birth control pills, so don't ever think that "pulling out" is a safe method if those other methods aren't even 100% effective!! :)good luck and let me know if you need more help!
