Answer 1

i totally understand you i went through the same thing first things first PROTECT YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you know you should 2 months, that's all you've been with him please for your body's sake respect yourself and use a condom!!! you only get one body and one life cherish it!!!....ok now that i lectured you.... i am also young i'm 23 i just had my daughter 2 1/2 mths ago, although she was planned before my b/f now i have had scary situations too. the first thing you do is go to the store asap DO NOT WAIT to miss your period, get a test if it's neg and you still have symptoms go get blood work...tell your b/f by sitting him down alone, no distractions and flat out tell him you didn't get that way (if you are) by yourself and as for your parents idc if they are the strictist ppl tell em they'll get over it a baby is a blessing, as for you if you want a baby regardless of who's gonna be by your side you do what you feel is right!!!you'll be the one getting up at night changing, feeding, comforting and totally taking care of your baby 100% it's not easy being a mom but i wouldn't trade it for anything in the world!!!! my daughter is amazing so get tested asap and PLEASE respect yourself for you!!!

Answer 2

If you're not due for you're period for another week and a half, then chances are you are ovulating around now, so now would be the time that you are most likely to get pregnant. So do NOT have unprotected sex now - or anytime if you don't want to fall "accidentally" pregnant.
There is no use panicking about being pregnant when your period isn't due yet, do a test around the time that it is if it makes you feel better.
I remember what it was like to be your age and fooling around like that, but pregnancy is not a joke. Think long and hard about what you're doing.
Go and see a doctor if you are really stressing, maybe they can set up an early test for you. Just talking to someone helps sometimes.
Goodluck, I hope it works out for you xx

Answer 3

The test typically won't show anything until you're due for your period to 5 days late for it. You could get a false negative if you test so early. Though don't let that stop you, just know that if it shows negative you should do it again in over a week.

As far as your parents you're just going to to have to be straight forward with them, direct and to the point.

As far as school, a lot of universities have day cares. Do everything that you can to keep going. It's hard once you stop to get back. Believe me I know [I'm finally returning next month].

If this turns out negative please don't have unprotected sex. If you can't responsibly have sex you shouldn't have it at all. If you can't afford to go to a doctor then go to Planned Parenthood. I get the Depo shots, and because I'm not working right now my birth control is free.

I don't believe that in this day and age that there's any reason someone should accidentally get pregnant aside form the 1% chance that their birth control fails.

Answer 4

I had my first at 18, and my advise is use protection all the time until your life and future is stable. {without question}
If you take the test it may come back negative because you haven't produced enough hormones to show a positive pregnancy. You may have to test again a week or so after your period date if you haven't already started. If you are you need to tell your boyfriend and start planning what you should do about the baby coming. If your not thank your LUCKY STARS your not and be smarter from here on out. Good Luck with everything.

Answer 5

Only one proper solution! Tell your parents, go straight to a clinic for a thorough physical examination to determine if you were physically abused, elect to get tested afterwards; pregnancy, STD, get screened for toxins while it's still detectable. Report this pervert to the authorities, have this animal locked up; even an idiot knows he'll do it again to another clueless teen at some other party. And please ask yourself "Is penetration really the point here?" You were drugged out, passed out then abused for god's sake. So what if your parents go ballistic! Deal with it cuz you messed up, that's part of growing up. You also need a new set of friends. If no attempt was made on their part to prevent this from happening to you, then they knowingly brought this unto you too. So do the next would-be victim a favor and get this guy arrested.

Answer 6

If you're scared your boyfriend would leave you because you're pregnant, maybe he isn't the right guy for you...dump him if it goes that direction.

If you really want to pursue your college dreams, keep your legs closed and go after what you want.

If you are pregnant...well, you are an adult and that was your decision to put yourself in that position. But I would turn to your parents for support...if they are the supportive type...and then try to get through college as quickly as possible so you can properly care for your child.

Answer 7

So you are old enought to know better, smart enough to go to college, which means you wanted to get preg. Put off school for a decade, see if the guy you have known for a couple monthes sticks around. Start posting for good baby names soon.

Answer 8

if your period is still a week or so out then if you were pregnant you'd be only a few days and not having symptoms yet....I think its all in your head...
if you are still worried wait until your period is due and if its a week late then its time to worry and take a HPT

Answer 9

Aww thats not safe! Just go for a doctor cheak or whatever. If you are just tell your mom and dad. If your not, learn a BIG lesson from this! =)

Answer 10

planned parenthood might be able to help you out here. if you are pregnant, break it to your love first and see how he reacts. then go tell your parents.
