Am I pregnant? When should I buy a test?
Hi, I am 20 years old and I recently just lost my virginity. He put it in for like a minute with no condom and i got up and told him we can't do that. I immediately went to go pee afterwards and we had sex after that with a condom. FML if I am pregnant the first time I had sex. My mom will have my head. I haven't been having any signs for pregnancy except a little nauseous. Please help!!

Maybe give some free advice about: Pregnancy?
Hi, I can't tell for sure if you're pregnant or not. There's a good chance that you're not but my words are no guarantee. If you had sex within the last 3 days, you can still buy those morning-after pills just to be totally sure.
If you've already passed the 3-day mark, the best way to know for sure is if you've missed your next period. A lot of the symptoms of pregnancy can be caused by other factors. Worrying about whether you're pregnant or not before taking the exam will just stress you out more and might even prevent your period from coming (thus causing you more undue stress). So please stop looking up the symptoms and trying to check yourself against the symptoms.
About the pregnancy exam, the earliest that you can take a pregnancy exam is on the first day you're supposed to have your period. Some exams claim accuracy even if you take it 10 days after having sex but it might give you a false negative/positives. The best time is really on the first day of your next period.
Assuming you're taking one of those pregnancy tests that you can buy at the pharmacy, it's best to take the test when you urinate first thing in the morning. Take your midstream urine, that is, the urine that comes after some time you're urinating.
After you've taken the exam though, it's best to wait a few more days and take another exam just to be sure. These pregnancy tests (from the pharmacy) are mostly accurate but there are still cases of false negatives/positives.
I hope this helps!
