Hey. I am 16 and just looking for some help!!! I think I might be pregnant. A first I didn't even think about all that was going on with my body like sore breasts,eating more, peeing more & tired easily to even think I was pregnant until my boyfriend said something bout it. So he went online and asked me sum questions to see if it was going on or not and I would say yes if it was but no if it wasn't. And now we think I might be pregnant. I am thinking bout seeing if I start my period to take a test but in my family it is known to have one and still be pregnant so I don't know what to do. I fell sore breasts,tired,eating more,peeing more,getting stretch marks on mi thighs,I feel nausea off & on, and I get shortage n breath too. So I want to know if it sounds like to you if I am or not & what should I do & if my mind could b playing tricks on me??? So please help me if ya can. Thank-You

If you have been having sex it is possible that you are pregnant. But it also sounds to me like your mind might be playing tricks on you.

Stretch marks and shortness of breath usually dont occur until you are well into your pregnancy. And the stretch marks on your thighs could just mean that your thighs are growing. Most of my stretch marks occured on my stomach.

Sore breasts and tiredness could be a result of the extra hormones released in your body when you are getting ready to start your period.

If you miss a period, take an HPT. It can never hurt, and it can put your mind at ease. But always remember the consequences of having sex at a young age, because most 16 year olds are not prepared for a baby. If you dont want to be a parent, the best thing to do is abstain. If you continue to have sex, I would suggest getting on some kind of birth control.

Have you done a test yet, as all these symptons relate to pregancy. I believe you should get tested, as if you are you will need to take folic acid to help prevent spina bifida. Also your parents need to know to help to suport you, even know you boyf would most proberly do that, but I know it is nice for your mum to help you get through what ever choice you choose. As you are quite young. Get a test asp!
