missed periods...4 months?? pregnancy??


Question Posted Tuesday July 14 2009, 7:18 am

OK. so.
i started having sex in february of this year.
i had a period in march..the first week of march.
it is july 14th and i have not had my period since then.
every time i ever have had sex we have used a condom with spermicide. none have ever broke, 100% sure about that.
i am getting more and more freaked out, and i bet that's delaying it more.
i have been feeling really bloated and huge the past week or so. and i thought i felt slight cramps 3 days ago ..i really hoped my period would start. nothing.

is there a possibility that some sperm MAY have leaked?? how likely is that to happen? my and my boyfriend are always very careful about any contact we have that could result in pregnancy. washing hands frequently and before/after/ or whatever.

should i go see a doctor?
i am also pretty sure that i have hypothyroidism.. it runs in my family and i have ALL the symptoms. i went to a local clinic and they said that i was just fine and i didn't know what i was talking about.

i live in a really small town and if i got a pregnancy test someone would end up telling my parents.(who don't know i'm sexually active).so i'm just sitting here, waiting, and freaking out. if anyone could give me any advice or help it would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!!!!
Thanks!

Hey! Aw Good job being safe, but there's always still that chance, so stop waiting around nervous; get to a pharmacy, maybe out of town? They shouldn't tell your parents anyway, especially if u go to the doctors for it, as they keep things private between them and the patient. Don't be scared!
Just get it sorted so you know if you are or not. In the future, it would be a good idea to take birth control or another form of contraceptives.
Hope your okay xxx Love Sugar

I'm going to be frank. You could be pregnant. Condoms and spermicide is really smart to use, especially together because they offer good protection against STDs and pregnancy. But... nothing is 100% effective. As they say in Jurassic Park, life finds a way. Some people have to be the small percentage of failure rates and you might be one of them.

Please see a doctor immediately. Get a physical and relay all your symptoms. Ask for a pregnancy test as well and talk about your concerns for the medical condition that runs in your family. Ask to be tested for it as well.

If you are pregnant you could be too far along for an abortion (if you wanted one- no judgements here), but the more time you give yourself to figure out what you want to do, the better off you'll be in make the right choice for yourself. Don't delay.

While you're waiting for the doctor's appointment, and you want answers sooner, if there is a way you can get out of town for the day, go to a different pharmacy and get a test, you can take it in a restaurant bathroom (It only takes a couple minutes) and throw the package away in a plastic bag in a public trash can.
