Want to answer more questions in the Sexual Health and Reproduction category?
Maybe give some free advice about: General Sex Questions?
I am not a teenage mom, but if you want to know whether you're pregnant or not, make a test or go to the doctor. If you're afraid someone might see you buying a test, find a pharmacy that is not very close to your home and school. In any way, it is better to find out if you're pregnant or not sooner than later, so you wouldn't have to torture yourself with all this uncertainty. Although, don' forget that pregnancy tests aren't 100 percent true, as well as condoms can't always give you the absolute protection. Before you do something, make sure that you will not have to pay for that later, and learn to take care of yourself if your boyfriend isn't so concerned with your health and safety.

I'm not a mom yet but i am pregnant...
I was terrified when i though i might be i didn't tell my boyfriend or my parents that i thought i was...
About 3 weeks later my sister told my parents that i was having sex with my boyfriend and they wanted to put me on birth control.
They Made me take a test first and it was positive.
I went to the doctor and got it confirmed...
I figured i was because i was throwing up alot...
and my boobs hurt really bad...
and walking up the stairs seemed like an impossible task...
and instead of staying up till 3 in the morning i was in bed and ready to sleep by 9-9:30...
and of course i didn't get my period but that didn't worry me much since mine wasn't normal.
At first i was soooo worried about what people would think and say about me but then i joined a parenting class at school and found alot of girls that were in my place too.
One of them happend to be a friend of mine!
Now i'm 7 months pregnant and my bab is doing great accordint to doppler and ultra sound...
It's a little boy. Or at least i think it is... but you can never be sure till it comes out!
My counselor told me that i could eat crackers and other foods like that during class and they really helped with the morning sickness and to calm my little boy ddown when he was kicken...
But if you are don't freak totally.
It gets better I promise.
and if your parents are mad thats what your most worried about...
They can't stay mad at you forever, and truth is by the time you start showing and it becomes real to them they will start wanting to be part of it because it is there grandbaby.
And the thought of being a granny or gramps excites them.
Hope It helps some...
I know it's long and i probably bored you out of your mind with my story but i think it helps to know from someone who is going through it too.
I'm 16...
i got the throwing up part and stuff about 3 weeks after i supposively concieved...

HEY I AM GETTING BACK TO YOU LIKE YOU ASKED IN THE FEEDBACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yes, the symptoms can take up to a month to appear so be patient, don't jump to conclusions.
10. Tender, swollen breasts
One of the early signs of pregnancy is sensitive, sore breasts caused by increasing levels of hormones. The soreness may feel like an exaggerated version of how your breasts feel before your period. Your discomfort should diminish significantly after the first trimester, as your body adjusts to the hormonal changes.
9. Fatigue
Feeling tired all of a sudden? No, make that exhausted. No one knows for sure what causes early pregnancy fatigue, but it's possible that rapidly increasing levels of the hormone progesterone are contributing to your sleepiness.
You should start to feel more energetic once you hit your second trimester, although fatigue usually returns late in pregnancy when you're carrying around a lot more weight and some of the common discomforts of pregnancy make it more difficult to get a good night's sleep.
8. Implantation bleeding
Some women have a small amount of vaginal bleeding around 11 or 12 days after conception (close to the time you might notice a missed period). The bleeding may be caused by the fertilized egg burrowing into the blood-rich lining of your uterus � a process that starts just six days after fertilization � but no one knows for sure.
The bleeding is very light (appearing as red spotting or pink or reddish-brown staining) and lasts only a day or two. (Let your practitioner know if you notice any bleeding or spotting, particularly if it's accompanied by pain, since this can be a sign of an ectopic pregnancy.)
7. Nausea or vomiting
If you're like most women, morning sickness won't hit until about a month after conception. (A lucky few escape it altogether.) But some women do start to feel queasy a bit earlier. And not just in the morning, either � pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting can be a problem morning, noon, or night.
6. Increased sensitivity to odors
If you're newly pregnant, it's not uncommon to feel repelled by the smell of a bologna sandwich or cup of coffee and for certain aromas to trigger your gag reflex. Though no one knows for sure, this may be a side effect of rapidly increasing amounts of estrogen in your system. You may also find that certain foods you used to enjoy are suddenly completely repulsive to you.
5. Abdominal bloating
Hormonal changes in early pregnancy may leave you feeling bloated, similar to the feeling some women have just before their period arrives. That's why your clothes may feel snugger than usual at the waistline, even early on when your uterus is still quite small.
4. Frequent urination
Shortly after you become pregnant, you may find yourself hurrying to the bathroom all the time. Why? Mostly because during pregnancy the amount of blood and other fluids in your body increases, which leads to extra fluid being processed by your kidneys and ending up in your bladder.
This symptom may start as early as six weeks into your first trimester and continue or worsen as your pregnancy progresses and your growing baby exerts more pressure on your bladder.
3. A missed period
If you're usually pretty regular and your period doesn't arrive on time, you'll probably take a pregnancy test long before you notice any of the above symptoms. But if you're not regular or you're not keeping track of your cycle, nausea and breast tenderness and extra trips to the bathroom may signal pregnancy before you realize you didn't get your period.
2. Your basal body temperature stays high
If you've been charting your basal body temperature and you see that your temperature has stayed elevated for 18 days in a row, you're probably pregnant.
And finally...
1. The proof: A positive home pregnancy test
In spite of what you might read on the box, many home pregnancy tests are not sensitive enough to detect most pregnancies until about a week after a missed period. So if you decide to take one earlier than that and get a negative result, try again in a few days.
