I could be flip and say that you can start seeing symptoms right after you have sex - even for the first time. But that seems kinda mean, You don't need me to tell you that you are way too young to be having sex, and if you don't know that you shouldn't be fooling around yet, no answer of mine is going to get through. In the off-chance that you are smart enough to actually listen to these answers, here goes:
-this first answerer is right. Don't stress out until you take TWO pregnancy tests (always, always confirm).
-missed period: this is always the dumbest way of finding out.
-your breasts feel very sensitive to the point of a bra hurting
-and of course, the ol' technicolor yawn. You will be throwing up a lot, and for no reason.
Now, lets say you are pregnant. I am not going to tell you to talk to your parents, because the simple fact is that your parents are always going to see you as a little kid. Your dad might be tempted to inflict massive bodily injury on the guy who knocked you up (I know I would if my 15 yo daughter got preggers). So, unless you are prepared for them to be uncharacteristically freaked out, you might want to delay talking to them until you know whether you are pregnant, and what you are going to do.
If you find out that you are, I STRONGLY urge you to talk to an adult. I say adult because your friends might be great and all that, but they are around 15 yo as well, and don't have any more experience than you do. If you have an aunt or some other adult you can trust, talk to them.
Realize that if you decide to get an abortion, you will be a little sick fro about a week, and there are feelings of guilt that go with it. It might be best though, if you are unprepared to tell your parents or carry the baby to term, or are unable to care for the baby (most 15 yo's aren't).
If you decide to have the baby, you are going to have to tell your parents. They are going to freak out, and your dad (and/or mom) might very well kill the guy involved. You should consider giving the child up for adoption. there are many people in this country who want a baby but for some reason cannot have one. This is a pretty mature wa of handling the situation.
Lastly, if you keep the baby, your life is never ever going to be all fun and games any more. You will have a person who depends on you for EVERYTHING, and do not assume that your mom and dad will help out. They should not have to. Forget Saturday night dates, or Homecoming or Prom, and college will take forever to finish (my own mom finally got her degree after almost 35 years), because you will have to get a job to pay for yourself and the baby, and school is a distant third priority.
I know that I have made it sound like parenthood sucks. It does, and it doesn't. My sister says it is the coolest thing in the world to see her little boys do stuff that she didn't teach them. My sister also doesn't have a degree, or much in the way of wealth or comforts. Being a parent is rewarding, but you will be sacrificing your own life to be one.
My advice is to either stop the pregnancy or have the baby and put it up for adoption. then grow up, get some life experience under your belt and then get married and do this whole baby thing the right way.
And I hope you have definitely learned your lesson here: make sure you carry condoms in your purse. Guys - especially young guys are as dumb as a box of wet rocks when it comes to sex. Make sure he wears a rubber every time or no play. AT ALL.

Top ten signs you might be pregnant
• 10. Tender, swollen breasts
• 9. Fatigue
• 8. Implantation bleeding
• 7. Nausea or vomiting
• 6. Increased sensitivity to odors
• 5. Food aversions
• 4. Frequent urination
• 3. A missed period
• 2. Your basal body temperature stays high
• 1. The proof: A positive home pregnancy test
Most likely you won't notice any pregnancy symptoms until about the time you've missed a period, or a week or two later. If you're not keeping track of your menstrual cycle or if it varies widely from one month to the next, you may not be sure when to expect your period. But if you start to experience some of the symptoms below (not all women get them all) and you haven't had a period for a while, you may very well be pregnant. Take a home pregnancy test and find out for sure!

As soon as you start your period you are at risk of being pregnant if you are having sex. So yes at 15 you can be pregnant. You generally strat getting pregnancy symptoms when you are pregnant. When depends on the person. I know some people have symptoms two weeks before their period. Some don't feel symptoms until a month or two.

You may not have any at all. My mother in law didn't even know she was pregnant til she was 7 months along. And she is not the only one. I never had a single symptom of pregnancy other than a positive test. No morning sickness, no problems, no issues at all. If you are unsure, the best thing to do it to take a test. Not just one. Take one then in a few weeks take another. If you really wanna know for sure...go to the doctor and ask for a blood test. That is very very accurate.

It depends on the person. Most people can get them as early as 1 week. Some women may not get any symptoms! But on a personal note, you should not be having sex at 15. You should always wait to be mature enough to handle the responisbilities that come with making the decision of having sex. At least make sure you are able to financially support yourself and a child if you chose to engage in sexual activities. You also have to consider the possibilities of STDs. Anyway, it's your life, take the advise or not.

Your body begins changing as soon as the fertilized egg implants about 8-14 after intercourse. So you can have changes as soon as two weeks or like me I was almost three months prego before i knew I was...it all depends on the person. Most Preg. tests wont beable to tell you if you are prego until at least three weeks...there is not enough of the hormone it's looking for in your urin...but if you want to test sooner then that take the test first thing in the morning, first pee...that way the hormone has biult up all night. If you have any other questions feel free to e-mail me, jldorshimer@yahoo.com, i know how you feel! have a great day! ~Jill

The symptoms of pregnancy differs in each and every woman some women do not feel any symptoms, some women feel the symptoms far worst than others and some women aren't very in-tuned with their bodies so they may not even notice any signs of being pregnant. But the link below should be able to help you with the resolution of your question.

Every women is different. What you need to do is take a pregnancy test so if you are pregnant you won't be doing things to harm the baby. I don't think you would purposly harm the baby but simple things like taking asprin or other medications can harm an unborn child and you definately don't want to be doing things like smoking and drinking alcohol at all. I hope things work out for the best.

It is different with every person. If you are late, then I would go ahead and take a test, but if you are like me at that age then you aren't exactly regular. It's hard to tell when you are young because you are going through so many changes. If you think you might be and are afraid to tell anyone since you might not be pregnant....just sneak into a store, buy a pregnancy test and take it when no one is home. It is the easiest way to know

Most pregnancy symptoms don't appear until the second month or so. The first clue of course would be a missed period, but stomach pains, or cravings, headaches, breast tenderness, or elevated moods in the first month can be common. These symptoms can also be associated with stress, pms, or other outside factors. If you have missed your period take a pregnancy test.
