ok so i need major help. about a month ago i had a pregnancy scare and i got 2 tests done that both came back negative. i had all the symptoms and i mean ALL [[my mom even questioned me about it]]. but i had only missed 1 period. so far now i have missed 2 and continue to have these symptoms and they keep getting worse. whats worse is my bf broke up with me a month ago after it came back negative [[he was my one and only so no other guys are involved]]. i am a verrry thin girl like, i'm 5'8 and 110lbs [[no i'm not anorexic, i eat a lot, it's just genetics]]. and i have really tight abs. . .well, not anymore and i'm starting to pooch a bit haha as funny as that sounds. are these symptoms just in my head? am i just gaining some weight? should i get another home test? i can't go to a doctor because i am only 17 and would die before telling my parents anything i've done. i need help [[please, no internet links cuz my dad might monitor what all i do]]

Sometimes tests are negative the first few times, and it takes more than one to get whether you're pregnant or not. Try another test, and see how it comes out.
When I had my scare, my friend told me there was a thing where you could actually make yourself believe something, and that it was all in my head. I'm not sure if he was kidding, or was serious, but it freaked me out even more.
Worrying can also take away your period. When you worry a lot, your stress builds up & causes your period not to come, that could also be it.
If you're that scared about going to the doctor [or simply can't], try to go to your local planned-parenthood with a friend of yours. You could just be gaining weight, but then again your mom did question you, and you haven't gotten your period.
Also, next time you have sex, please use a condom. You don't want to be scared [such as you are now], and you definitely do not want a little bundle of joy. Especially at your age since you'll be graduating soon & going off to college. A baby could easily ruin that for you. [ christina's advice column | Ask christina A Question ]
