Hey guys. I'm 17 years old an on the 12march I had my period and I went off on the18/19 and on the 22nd which was two days ago I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend. Now starting today the 24th I have had mild cramping all day on and off AND when I went to use the restroom I saw like pink spills in my panties along with whiteish discharge. Could I be pregnant. This is the first time something like this happened.!

If I were you, I would NOT be trying to have a baby at 17. Take it from me... I got pregnant at the age of 17 and had my son at the age of 18. It's not a good idea. You are still so young yourself and you need to take the time to grow up and be able to make CERTAIN that you have your education under your belt as well as making sure that you can afford to have a baby. Times are tough and REAL life is hard! Use your head and DON'T depend on becoming part of the "system" as a means of taking care of a child. USE YOUR HEAD!!

At this point it would be too early to confirm. Wait until your next expected period and if it doesn't come, take a test.
At 17, you are way too young to be having children. Next time, please use protection. You and your boyfriend aren't even married. What makes you think he'll stick around for the next 18-19 years if you do get pregnant? How will you finish school? Do you have a steady job? A job that will allow you maternity leave, and to be able to put food on the table, gas in the car (do you even have a car?), the baby in daycare, a roof over yours and your child's head? And then there's diapers, diaper wipes, bottles and formula, clothes (babies grow quickly, plan for new clothes every few weeks basically), toys (another thing babies quickly outgrow). And then there's doctor's appointments. Both prenatal appointments for you, the hospital bill when you deliver. Then after babies need lots of regular check-ups and what not. And that's just all assuming you have a healthy pregnancy and baby. If anything goes wrong, that's more doctor bills. And do you even have insurance for you and a child?
