When is the soonest you can take a pregnancy test?
Hi. I had sex with my boyfriend on August 24. Today is September 5. I usually have my period around the 25th day of the month, but I have been very irregular before. It's been late and early in the past.
The condom broke, unfortunately. But we stopped when we realized this. He didn't cum, and I'm not taking any birth control. So technically we had unprotected sex on accident.
I'm not going to ask if I could be pregnant, because of course I could be. When is the earliest I can take a urine pregnancy test? Isn't it two weeks, or is that still too early? Two weeks for me will be on Sep 7. I don't want to take the test and have it be too soon, and get a 'no' if I actually am.
I also have type 1 diabetes. Could having ketones at the time of taking the pregnancy test have any effect on its accuracy?
My boyfriend and I are terrified. It was only a one-time thing. It feels like it should be one of those 'what are the chances of that?' kind of things, but I know one time is all it takes.
Please don't try to punish me. Believe me, this is too much as it is, and I don't even know if I am or not. If not, I've really learned my lesson.
I occasionally feel nauseous and tense, but I believe this is more because of how stressed and upset I am. I'm really hoping this is all just a big scare where I've stressed myself out so bad that I've convinced myself that I probably am pregnant.
I've noticed that my urine has been pretty yellow lately. This could be just because of my diet, but could it have anything to do with early pregnancy?
If I am pregnant, I know that having the child is barely an option. I'm a senior in highschool. Having a baby now would ruin my education, career plans, everything. Plus, the humiliation of going through with it with my classmates and my family would be overwhelming for me, and I already suffer from depression.
I'm really not too fond of abortions. A baby shouldn't suffer for my mistakes. Is there ANY possible way to give the fertilized egg to another woman who could have it implanted in her? I know they do that with unfertilized eggs and then fertilize it afterwards. Please, I'm really scared.
I don't know what I should do. Please, please someone help. I need advice and suggestions!

First things first: Stop torturing yourself.
It's far too early to be imagining the embarrassments and pain.
Really it is too early to be running through the worse case scenario thinking. That's the fear talking, not the intelligent brain, so don't feed into it. Although it is possible you are pregnant, it's unlikely.
It's far more likely that your stressing and panic is delaying your period.
You may a take the urine test any day now.
Home pregnancy tests are about as effective as they can be between 3 and 7 days AFTER your period was due. So if you are generally due around the 25th, you've waited long enough now, and may take a urine test and it will be pretty reliable. Read the instructions carefully and use it properly. Buy a good brand from a proper drug store (not a dollar store) and if you want to be doubly certain, buy two.
Diabetes should have no effect I can imagine on a urine test.
FYI, at this point there is no procedure for removing a fertilized egg from one women and implanting them into another. Although it can probably be done, there are ethical issues around it that would probably prevent it from ever being a really available option.
When this is all over and done with, spend some time researching how to properly use and store condoms. They most often break because they were stored in a bad place, or used improperly. So it's worth it for you both to do some private goggling, and re-learn condom safety.
Take a deep breath, take the test, and whatever happens you are going to be okay.

If you want an accurate answer, Wait two weeks. If you do not want an abortion then I would suggest adoption.
