Too Early?
My last period was in January not too sure the exact date but I know it was,the beginning of the month. February is almost over and I still haven't started my period? Is it too soon to take a pregnancy test or should I wait? If so, how much longer?

Maybe give some free advice about: Pregnancy?
This must be pretty worrying for you :/
Just so you know, it takes at least a week or two after having sex before a pregnancy test will show it as being positive.
If you have had sex without protection then yes I'd definitely take a pregnancy test.
If not then it's pretty normal for girls to be late with their periods-I wouldn't worry.
And if the test does come back positive, theres always a way forward. If you're period hasn't come in another week or so, I'd buy the pregnancy test then. If you're not pregnant and it still doesn't come, don't panick-lots of girls miss periods from time to time.

You gave your age as 14. Next time give truthful information and you will get better answers. Had I known you were 17 not 14 I could have saved myself the trouble of answering you.
I truly hope you are not pregnant. At your age this has to be the most frightening thing in the world for you. So do as the other advisers said; get some home pregnancy tests and hope for the best. Hopefully you are not pregnant and you missed your period due to the stress related to the worry over being pregnant. This can and does happen to girls as young as you.
It�s too late for a lecture on abstinence and chastity as the preverbal horse has already left the barn. What I do what to tell you about is boys and their desire for sex. Their definition or lack of for the word love.
Let�s start with the word love for most boys when they say they love you it does not have the same meaning it does for a girl. Boys confuse the word love with lust. A boy your age is going through puberty just like you are. He is prewired to find sex. He has to have sex or he has to masturbate. If he doesn�t he can end up with a very painful condition. His preference of course is to find a willing partner. He tells her he loves her. She thinks he loves her as she loves him when in fact his loves is mostly lust.
If a boy is pressuring you for sex than his love is more lust than the type of love you are looking for. There are other ways to take care of his needs other than through intercourse.
Remember he is not the one who has to choose whether or not to have an abortion. By law you cannot be forced by your parents to have an abortion, it is your choice alone. The law is called HIPPA and it started to cover you when you turned 14. You are the one who has to carry the baby to term and then decide to keep the child or give it up for adoption. These are hard choices for an adult woman to make. How in the world are you going to be able to make these decisions at 14 years of age?
If you�re not pregnant learn from this and keep your clothes on and remember what I said about boys confusing lust and love. For if you are pregnant I know of no law that is going to force his parents to support you and your baby. He is too young to be ordered by the court to support this child until he turns 18 and then you�re going to have to find him and drag him into court.
You don�t have to believe anything I said here but let me remind you I was once a teen age boy myself. We would say whatever a girl wanted to hear if it meant she would have sex with us. IF you�re not pregnant you might try talking to your dad and mom about this as they too where once your age. I believe you will find out I�m right in what I have told you.
Good luck, I hope you are not pregnant.

It may not be too early to take one. Especially since the month is almost over. I would suggest however, purchasing several pregnancy tests just in case. The dollar store carries them for 1 dollar, and they are pretty accurate. Though, sometimes you do get a bad one, but not all the time. But I would suggest buying at least 2, just in case *which will only cost you 2.14 all together* take one now, if it comes up negative, or comes up as a faulty one, wait another week and take another. But remember, going to see your doctor is always more accurate, especially if they do the blood hgc test. Good luck.
