Answer 1

First of all with your spelling Im doubting you in High School.
I dont understand why you guys never think of using protection... not only to aviod getting pregnant but there are SO MANY STDs out there...that alone would scare me half to death.

You need to wait till you have missed your period and then take a Pregnancy test, if you cant afford the test go to a Planned Parenthood and they will test you for free. If it comes up positive you need to sit your parents down and break them the news. Of course they are not going to be thrilled about the news but will give you the support you need and you can take it from there.

For your sake I hope you are not pregnant and I hope you use better judgment next time your thinking about having sex.

Good luck

I have seen this question over and over and over and over..it's a bit repetitive. Most of these girls are quite young, and may not have taken a biology class in high school. I will however list a few general rules for knowing if and when you are pregnant. Ok here goes:

I don't care what people say, you arn't likely to show a positive result on a home test until you are about 5 to 6 weeks pregnant. Most test will advertise you can take the test up to 5 days before your missed period. All this depends on how much of the Human Chorionic Gonadotropin hormone or HCG your body is producing. However a doc can take a blood test to find out about 2 weeks after conception.

Most symptoms will not show until you can verify with a test, the most obvious being your missed period. However some can mistake what is known as implantation bleeding as a period. No matter what anyone says you can not have a "period" while you are pregnant.

A period is caused from shedding the uterine lining that builds up to "house" your impending baby, should one be conceived. When a bay isn't conceived you shed the lining, hence your period. Should you bleed during pregnancy your doc should know about it and moniter it. There are a number of reasons a woman could bleed during pregnancy. None of which is a "period".

Now, Back to symptoms. Some women experince Nausea as their first symptom and tender brest, bloating and minor cravings. Weight gain can be known to happen too. Most of these will not show until you are about maybe 4 weeks along..most of the time at least 6 weeks along, or 2 weeks after your missed period. This can differ among different women. You can however worry so much that you can worry your body into "believing" you are pregnant and thus causing your body to stress which will result in a missed period or nausea. When in doubt take a test or go to your doc. They have seen it and heard it all before!!

I sincerely hope this helps some of you. Another thing is that you can't possibly get pregnant unless sperm reaches an egg. Therefore you can get pregnant using the pull-out method, but not from anal sex. Just use safe-sex procedures if you want to avoid the whole confusing mess all together!

I did not mention that yes most all doctors will time a pregnancy from the first date of your last period, not conception as that is hard to determine. Thanks for all your imput..and might I stress that every woman is different. Things will not be the same with one female as they be with the next!

Answer 3

Well you will have to wait until a couple days before you are to start your period then you can buy a early detection pregnancy test.
I had unprotected sex once when I was 17 my daughter will be 7 the end of Oct.
There is nothing you can do but hope that you are NOT pregnant and if you aren't then I hope you have learned from this. If you are then either have a abortion (it's wrong to kill a innocent baby by the way), have the baby and raise it, or give the baby up for adoption.

Answer 4

Uh well if you have a gyn they could do a blood test that way you wouldn't have to wait till you miss a period, also when I get stressed that way I take an over the counter test and i usually get my period very soon after. I think your mom would understand, Things could always be worse... I got pregnant at 15. My son is two now. If you really need help like in depth email me with your number, I am more than willing to call you so you can have someone to talk to who has been there done that.

Answer 5

Go and get a home test or even go to a planned parenthood to take one. Given that you have already had one abortion I wouldn't want to have another...but that is truly up to you...Please don't keep using it as a type of birth control, it is very hard on your body. And start using birth control its not that hard to do. Having a child is a very big responsibility and should be taken seriously. Have you ever thought about adoption, it is another alternative...there are allot of families out there that are trying to have kids and cannot. And last but not least if you cannot make yourself use birth control then maybe you should not be having sex...it sounds like you are still to young.

Answer 6

you're mom is gonna flip out on you because SHE had YOU at 17, you stupe! That's why she doesnt want you even THINKING about having sex at age 17!!!
You are dumb dumb dumb--if you are NOT pregnant, you best thank your lucky stars and say a few prayers to God.
And hey, you already had an abortion? Well TRIPLE STUPID to you! So you KNOW how babies are made, and YET you still have unprotected sex! I bet you are SUPER POPULAR....
And after a "week" and you had sex (lets see, if I can do your kind of math)--on the 1st day (!?!) trust me, it's not called "DATING"!!!

ANd quit your crying, you deserve to get yelled at.

Answer 7

I dont' believe if you are pregnant, that an abortion is the best choice. You will probably have to raise this baby yourself but there is a lot of help out there like WIC. My suggestion DON"T HAVE UNPROTECTED SEX! I'm sorry you are in a situation where you have to make so many hard choices, but those are the consequenses of your actions. Good luck.

Answer 8

If you had unprotected sex with a guy after one week you deserve whatever comes your way. How old are you?? You sound way younger then 17 or your just pulling our legs.Have you ever had any sex education classes??
This is the last stupid question I am wasting time on!
This is the youth in America...We are all in trouble!

Answer 9

I agree with above. The last thing we need is illiterate children making more illiterate children.

Use protection next time, or wait till you are in a secure loving relationship and ready to TAKE CARE of a child and all of its needs (MENTAL, emotional, physical, medical, financial, and spiritual).
