Answer 1

Hi Honey, here are some symptoms of pregnancy, check them and then see your doctor

Tender, swollen breasts
One of the early signs of pregnancy is sensitive, sore breasts caused by increasing levels of hormones. The soreness may feel like an exaggerated version of how your breasts feel before your period. Your discomfort should diminish significantly after the first trimester, as your body adjusts to the hormonal changes.

Fatigue
Feeling tired all of a sudden? No, make that exhausted. No one knows for sure what causes early pregnancy fatigue, but it's possible that rapidly increasing levels of the hormone progesterone are contributing to your sleepiness.

You should start to feel more energetic once you hit your second trimester, although fatigue usually returns late in pregnancy when you're carrying around a lot more weight and some of the common discomforts of pregnancy make it more difficult to get a good night's sleep

Nausea or vomiting
If you're like most women, morning sickness won't hit until about a month after conception. (A lucky few escape it altogether.) But some women do start to feel queasy a bit earlier. And not just in the morning, either — pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting can be a problem morning, noon, or night.

About half of women with nausea feel complete relief by the beginning of the second trimester. For most others it takes another month or so for the queasiness to ease up.

Increased sensitivity to odors
If you're newly pregnant, it's not uncommon to feel repelled by the smell of a bologna sandwich or cup of coffee and for certain aromas to trigger your gag reflex. Though no one knows for sure, this may be a side effect of rapidly increasing amounts of estrogen in your system. You may also find that certain foods you used to enjoy are suddenly completely repulsive to you.

Abdominal bloating
Hormonal changes in early pregnancy may leave you feeling bloated, similar to the feeling some women have just before their period arrives. That's why your clothes may feel snugger than usual at the waistline, even early on when your uterus is still quite small.

Frequent urination
Shortly after you become pregnant, you may find yourself hurrying to the bathroom all the time. Why? Mostly because during pregnancy the amount of blood and other fluids in your body increases, which leads to extra fluid being processed by your kidneys and ending up in your bladder.

This symptom may start as early as six weeks into your first trimester and continue or worsen as your pregnancy progresses and your growing baby exerts more pressure on your bladder.

A missed period
If you're usually pretty regular and your period doesn't arrive on time, you'll probably take a pregnancy test long before you notice any of the above symptoms. But if you're not regular or you're not keeping track of your cycle, nausea and breast tenderness and extra trips to the bathroom may signal pregnancy before you realize you didn't get your period.

Your basal body temperature stays high
If you've been charting your basal body temperature and you see that your temperature has stayed elevated for 18 days in a row, you're probably pregnant

Good luck.

Answer 2

In answer to your question, If your menstrual cycles were irradic prior to your encounter and you are spotting now, you have at least a 50/50 chance of not being pregnant, If you dont want your parents to find out, see if you can purchase it and use it in a public rest area. Quite honestly not to be a ole stick in the mud but perhaps you should consider either a better form of birth control or abstaining from sex for a while (after all, sex is not love) .. As for "over reacting", isnt it better in certain instances to over react than to under react? But you should tell your boyfriend.

Other than that ..kudos for using protection never the less.

Answer 3

If a condom was used that was a very wise choice I commend you on that. If you were already have problems with your period I would say that it is your ovulation time and with have sex and you may have some problems with your ovaries that can get you off track also. Stress can cause you to be late and spotty. If I didn't start in the next couple weeks I would get a test just in case there was a little hole in the condom that does happen at times.

Answer 4

My friend had odd periods and had spotting, discharge on occasion instead. It turned out she had a cyst that she needed removed. If you can't get a pregnancy test at the dollar store to check, you may want to tell your mother what is going on and have her take you to an ob/gyn to get checked for a cyst, then if it is a pregnancy at least you will be in a public place and the ob will be the first one to let the cat out of the bag.

Answer 5

Answer 6

sometimes women miss a period but if you are habving a gross distarge you could have a infection if you used a condom you are more likeley not to be pregant but to be on the safe side get one of your friends to buy you a pregancy test and do it at there house i wouldnt worry because you havent got any other pregancy symptons. but to be sure go to your doctor.

Answer 7

Go to a local hospital and see if they will give you a pregnancy test or see if someone of age can buy you a test w/o your parents knowing. You have to figure it out maybe ask to go to OB/GYN and tell your parents its for a well checkup they should understand and have no probs.

Answer 8

There's a possibility. Go get a pregnancy test done at Planned Parenthood or your Doctor... your parents don't have to know.

Answer 9

there is a possibility but i dont think so have your boyfriend get you a test and take it at school or at his house so that your parents wont ever find out. good luck!!!!

Answer 10

your just over reacting darling, think of it you have wierd periods & maybe it is just false alarm. some women's are delayed for a month but it is just normal. just wait until next month, ok?
