Answer 1

Unprotected sex and then you think you might be pregnant. No surprise there then ! ! !

Answer 2

You say you're on the pill so technically if you are taking it properly you should be ok. Have you missed a period? A lot of those "pregnancy symptoms" can also be experienced before a period is due.

Many girls manage to complete their eductaion and have a baby, it's not easy but it can be done.

Im sorry you're unable to talk to your dad, have you got a close friend you could confide in, alternatively a school councillor or even your doctor, they'll be far more neutral and wont juge or criticise you. You should also have a chat with your other half to see how he feels about it.

Testing will only be relevant if you're near the date of your period or past that date (i.e Late/missed period) because the hormones that are picked up in the test will not be strong enough to be detected so early on. If you've missed a period then you really should test, i know you're scared of the result but it could come out negative and you'll have nothing to worry about. If it comes out positive then you have lots to think about, the later you leave it the more risk you will be putting yourself and baby under.

Like some of the others said stress and worrying can delay a period, so relax and go do a test.

Answer 3

I suggest you take a pregnancy test so you won't be stressing out over it. And if it comes back positive, don't believe it until you take another one and it comes back positive also. I was in a similar situation and I got a false positive pregnancy test. I assumed I was pregnant, told my parents, got married, and then 2 weeks later got my period and went to the hospital thinking I was having a miscarriage when I wasn't even pregnant to begin with. But good luck and I hope everything turns out good for you and if you are pregnant, remember there are plenty of options out there for you. Don't let ANYBODY try to influence you one way or the other. It's your body and your choice.

Answer 4

You need to take a test first, just to be 100% sure. Sometimes we see signs of pregnancy even when we are not, but you need to take a test to find out. Second, speak to your boyfriend and see how he will take it. He may not be happy but if he cares for you in any way, he will support you, whatever choice you make. When you have done this and if you are pregnant, then ask your boyfriend to be there when you tell your father. If you are, then he will find out eventually. You need to bite the bullet and find out, this is not going to go away. I understand it must be scary, but you can talk through your options with your GP and your boyfriend. Good Luck x

Answer 5

if you are on the pill and haven't missed taking it tehn there is a very good chance that you are not pregnant regardless of weather you used a condom although i don't suggest making a abit of it. Take the test its much worse not knowing than it is to find out for sure. when you think you might be pregnant it is very easy to convince yourself you have all the symptoms you notice things that you don't usually notice are going on with your body and the worry alone can make you feel sick sometimes actually make you sick. Don't panic until you know for sure go and take the test. Good Luck!! Let us know how you get on!

Answer 6

So sorry you are in this position. You need to get a test done so that you know what you are dealing with. There are a lot of support groups out there so make sure you get some help.

Go and get a test (or you can buy cheaply on internet). Hope it all works out for you.

Feel free to contact me if you need to talk.

Answer 7

I know how you feel about taking the test and feeling disappointed as i have been through a similar situation, but the best thing you can do is stop worrying about what everyone else is going to say take the test then decide what you think about the hole thing before you worry about everyone else. there really is no point in stressing until you know for sure.

Answer 8

My husband and that i are the two serving individuals of HM Forces, i'm through end artwork 12 Dec and is no longer returning, i'm 18 weeks pg. We married after being at the same time for a pair of three hundred and sixty 5 days and the militia replaced right into a making use of ingredient in this determination. i do no longer understand if the U. S. militia is diverse however the united kingdom military does not fairly recognize you as a pair except you're married. We (the army) spends a extensive volume of time and attempt on welfare applications for deployed squaddies and their households however the quantity of stress placed upon a kin continues to be undeniable, distinctly as yours would exchange plenty in his absence. at first, you will desire to locate out for helpful while you're pregnant, you would be able to desire to be stressful for no longer something. while you're take a deep breath, cool down and heavily take a seat and communicate your recommendations including your important different...is marriage a severe threat (while you're pregnant..and god forbid something would desire to take place..what do you qualify for as a spouse (ie pension, dying benifits) and what might you qualify for as mom of infant??. Do you actual need the further rigidity of a sparkling marriage, infant, and long aeperation ort might you the two fairly step decrease back and take it one element at a time...do no longer crush yourselves too quickly, you would be able to desire to place self imposed pressures that don't would desire to be there upon yourselves. Secondly, loosen up, this would desire to be a chuffed time on your existence and have confidence me (i'm 28 and have been waiting for the stunning time for years!!) there is rarely a suitable time to start a kin...if it fairly is come formerly than envisioned then so be..you have time, love, and a being concerned important different...it will all artwork out. better of success...i'm hoping it fairly works out despite occurs xx

Answer 9

I wish you all the very best of luck

Answer 10

I know you are scared! I am 19 and pregnant, and although I was in a panic when I first saw that test, I am so happy now!

Take a test....

Talk to your boyfriend about it and let him have say with all the options as well....

Answer 11

Just do the test. Then you can think about what you need to do next. Have you missed your period? Worry and stress can make you late. Find a friend to talk to, don't do this by yourself. Good luck.
