Help! could I be pregnant?

Question

Ok here it is. I’m 16 years old and on the pill. I had sex with my boyfriend on the night of June 24 the vary next day I left for Mexico for vacation, while there I accidentally forgot to take my pill for several days. When I got home I started my period on the July 2nd though my period lasted five days like normal for me on the pill, it was vary light, using light tampons for the first three days and then only vary light spotting for the next two. The first time I had any sign of pregnancy was the 5th when I threw up early that morning and other then that I had an increase in appetite but the smell or consumption of food would make me sick. I wouldn’t throw up but was miserable until I wasn’t full anymore. Usually I could only eat about a handful of food at a time before I started feeling sick. Then another week or so with my queasiness I threw up again, after eating in the afternoon. I have also been experiencing irregular sleeping patterns often-needing naps during the day. Well, then I began to loose weight (I have been exercising more then usual). I am still having an increase in physical activity but now I’m beginning to gain weight back a vary miniscule amount but odd for the fact that I had been loosing weight, and my food intake while slightly better is still not vary successful. Today was the worst sign of fatigue yet, though for the entirety of summer I have been getting a full 8 hours of sleep tonight for some reason I slept for 12 hours something VARY uncommon for me. Typically, even if I don’t have anything to do, I will always sleep just 8 hours typically during the summer I stay up till around 1 in the morning and wake around 8 possibly nine. Yet today I went to sleep at one in the morning and woke up and nearly one thirty in the afternoon I have had pregnancy scares before but this is by far the worst this is the only time I have ever had actual symptoms not just paranoia. I have been under an unusual amount of stress lately so that could be it but if not I want to make sure. Please if any of you have an idea please tell me.

Answer 1

The only way to know for sure is to take a pregnancy test or to have your doctor order one for you. Stress can cause a lot of things to happen with your body. Since you are taking the pill, it is particularly imperitive that you find out whether or not you are pregnant. If you are, you need to stop taking those pills. Forgetting your pills will always put you at risk for a pregnancy. You don't say whether or not you had sex again after your period and whether you had missed anymore pills. So, when in doubt...test.

You definitly sound like you are having symptoms, but those symptoms can be brought on by the stress of fearing you are pregnant. I am married and not on protection anymore, so everyime I get close to my period I swear I am gaining weight and feeling pregnancy symptoms...and then I take a test...then I relax, and I get my period a while later. I was only right once! (I have a 7mo old) Also, your period, although light, is not uncommon for pill users. The pill will make your periods light. When I was on the pill mine lasted for only a few days and then some spotting like you described. Just a note...the pill could make you sick as well so be careful that you are on the lowest dose necessary. But girl the only way to know for sure is to take a test. I know that sucks but at least you won't have to worry any more. If you can get to a free clinic do so, or especially if you have a mentor or someone at church you can go to, that would be best as they can help you through the test and then help you right then with support if you are pregnant. And remember....if you are pregnant it's not a mistake! You maybe an accidental mommy, but there are no accidental children. And if you feel you have to consider other options... Please consider being a blessing to all the married couples who can't have children. Your healthy body could bring them what their's can not. I have friends who have been through hell and back trying to be pregnant. Adoption is their only choice and they are desperate to take in a baby who they can love dearly! Good luck... mu prayers are with you girl! Give an update :)

yes, you could be pregnant. Have your breasts started to feel heavier and fuller? Have your nipples darkened? Do you pee all the time?

There are many different symptoms for many different women, caused by the sudden changes in our hormones, and of course, this is our bodies way of preparing for the baby and it's needs.

This could also be brought about not by pregnancy, but by emotional stress and over anxious imaginations.

Why not spare yourself the agony and just take a test?

I got pregnant when I was eighteen, and I tried to deny it the first couple of months.

We think that if we just ignore it for awhile, it might go away... that maybe we're just "delayed". That maybe, we were just imagining things and eventually, God will be good to us and a miracle will happen.

This kind of thinking is not good. If ever you are pregnant, now is the best time to find out.

Some reasons:

1. The baby's brain develops during the first three months of pregnancy, and so it is important that you have adequate nutrition and are taking vitamins.(This is very important, whether or not you decide on bringing up the baby, or putting it up for adoption.)
One of the things I regret when I waited all those months for my period to "miraculously return", was that I was afraid I did not provide all the vitamins my baby needed during those critical three months. I feel guilty until now. (Although my young son is doing very well in school and is really intelligent.) i still feel as though I wasn't able to do everything I could.

2. I don't know what country you are from (because in our country, Abortion is illegal) but I have read that it is always best to have an abortion (if you do decide to have one), before you reach the fourth month or otherwise the risks get higher.

3. so that if you decide to have the baby, you have time to prepare for it emotionally, physically, spiritually and most importantly, financially. This is a LIFETIME commitment. Being a mother never stops, even when your children have gotten married, believe me!

4. And of course, for your own peace of mind.

Hope everything goes well for you. And just pray... before making any decisions.
