could i be pregnant? what could be wrong with me?
i'm 17 years old and i lost my virginity the 2nd of january this year. my last period was in early december, but my periods are irregular. i have them every other mnth, which is normal for me. but on the 17th of jan. i started spotting, it was light and then it got heavy and then light again! it is now the 19th and i'm still spotting? or atleast i think this is spotting. i've have symptoms of pregnancy...like, sore breast, i'm going to the bathroom alot more than i usually do, i have lower abdominal pains, fatigue/more tired, back pains.. but i have chronic arthritis. i have headaches but they are not frequent... i'm worried i might be pregnant.

I assume you're sexually active...
First, don't super-overload-panic. The symptoms that you are experiencing are probably attributed to your arthritis and simple hormonal changes that everybody experiences between the ages of 12 and 25. Now think back to the times you've had sex in the past few months. Were there any times you didn't use protection, the condom broke, etc? If not, you're probably not pregnant, obviously. If there were any situations you found yourself in, go to the drug store and get an at-home pregnancy test. If it's positive, schedule yourself a doctor's appointment, or go to your local urgent care clinic, where you can get a blood test to determine for 100% sure whether or not you are pregnant. If you have to go with a parent, you have the right to not disclose to that parent that you may be pregnant, and the physician that you see will be very confidential with you about it. If you are for sure and definitely pregnant, you can get in contact with your regular care physician or Planned Parenthood about your options: abortion, adoption, or keeping the baby. All I recommend is that you tell your parents or a close friend, whoever, sooner rather than later.
Good luck, and feel free to contact me if there's anything I can do!!

if your spotting (thats a sign of blood) which means your not. you can think you are and your body can act like it is ( i forgot the word for that) but you can always get a pregnance test wheather by getting one at the store or going to plannedparenthood. i dont think you are but just in case you can.
