Have you taken a blood test? They can determine pregnancy within 7-12 days of possible conception.
The best thing you can do now is wait until the date of your expected period and take another urine test if you are not willing to take a blood test.

If I am pregnant... should I have an abortion and I am 14 years old

You should discuss it with your parents, unpleasant as that is sure to be. Do you have any views about abortion in general?

Hey hon.
Definitely talk to your parents hon. They should know. And they can help.
Also, the advise of a doctor is crutial. At 14, your pelvis may still be underdeveloped, and pose a danger to you AND the baby. In which case an abortion would be a good idea.
Other than that, I see no reason why not to have the baby. If you do not wish to keep him/her, adoption is free.

I don't personally believe abortion should be a option but it is something your parents need to talk with you about

What did your doctor say when you went?
JALABOO

Wait until about 60 days and go bac and get a blood test... n he said some of the urine test be negatives sometimes

That is possible; it takes a certain level of Hcg (the hormone that indicates pregnancy) to be present before getting a "positive" reading.
There are many other circumstances that can cause a fluctuation in your menstrual cycle:
-stress (so worrying about a missed period can in fact delay it even more), but also stress from work, school, family, or any major change in your life.
-significant weight gain or loss
-new medications

Your period may be on the way.
But for now it's a waiting game. Wait a couple weeks and retest.

Try a heating pad or moderate exercise to help relieve the discomfort. You may want to avoid taking any OTC meds until you are sure that you're not pregnant because certain meds are not OK during pregnancy.
JALABOO
Jun 20, 2009, 10:16 PM
OK but I haven't missed a period
nikosmom
Jun 20, 2009, 10:24 PM
Did I miss something? Your first post said you haven't had a period in 45 days. Then you said you went to a dr and had a pregnancy test. Your question is titled "wondering if I'm pregnant". So what is it that you're asking?
JALABOO
Jun 20, 2009, 10:33 PM
Could I be and I meant that I missed my period and it still haven't came on so what you think could it be.

If your parents know you are sexually active WHY are you asking strangers if you are pregnant if you should have an abortion?
Some 14 yr olds believe their parents don't know much about anything and that they aren't even very smart. And some of them are right. Most 14 yr olds however do have parents who know more than they did when they were 14 and most of them would know how to help their child make life changing decisions better than the average stranger. Unless your parents have totally freaked out because you ARE pregnant, I suggest you have this talk with them.

After I retired from plumbing I got into Women's Rights and volunteered as a escort at a local abortion clinic. After three years I was put on staff as head of security and chief escort where I worked for another 13 years. I was the first person the girls saw and talked to before they entered the clinic and I heard their stories.. Anti-abortion protesters only know what they're told from the pulpit. What they fail to realize is that every storie's different. 14 is just a baby herself. Get a doctors opinion about how safe giving birth would be and then talk it over with Dad and Mom. Because they will be the ones raising the child. And if they agree that you should have a abortion do not let anyone put you on a guilt trip this should be between you and your family. Do not let outside opinion cloud your judgement. Whether you decide to give birth or terminate the pregnancy it should be contained within the family. Good luck in whatever you decide.

I think she's saying that she hasn't had a period in 45 days but the pregnancy tests that she's taken are negative so why has she not gotten her period?
nikosmom
Jun 21, 2009, 07:59 PM
Unfortunately you will just have to wait a couple more weeks, as your doctor suggested. Sorry I can't tell you more.

I'm really not sure what your asking but I'll give it a shot.
A pregnancy blood test measures the exact amount of the pregnancy hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in your bloodstream.
A blood test can also an determine pregnancy within 7-12 days of possible conception.
If you want a blood test see your doctor, go to your local walk-in clinic or even the ER.
Good luck.

OK I took one today but they are going to ship it to the clinic tomorrow and I had 5 negative urine test and do you possible think that the blood test could come out positive just give your opinion
mudweiser
Jun 23, 2009, 08:06 PM
Yes it is possible.
It's possible that the urine tests you took were expired. It is possible that you waited too long to view your results. It is possible that you took your pregnancy test incorrectly.
Above all it is possible that you took the urine test too soon. As said above blood test can determine pregnancy within 7-12 days of possible conception.

OK but I took the urine test at the health department and the clinic and they all where negative
Fr_Chuck
Jun 23, 2009, 08:20 PM
Then perhaps you are not, and there are other medical issues causing your problem.
Sounds like time to visit the doctor
JALABOO
Jun 23, 2009, 08:26 PM
I visit the doctor he said the urine test comes out negative sometimes.
mudweiser
Jun 23, 2009, 08:29 PM
Do you even ask your doctors questions?
How about asking him:
•Is it possible I am taking the urine test too soon?
•Can I take a blood test since they can determine pregnancies sooner?
•If my blood tests come out negative for pregnancy what other things can contribute to my period being late?
•When should I take the next urine test?
You need to ask your doctors questions!

OK hers some in for I was sexually active on April 24 my period came on 2 days early may 1 and came off on the 5th and never came back on my nipples are sore I have cramps my lower back hurts... I don't know what could it be but it could be a uti thing stopping it up

Your period may be going to start soon. It is not uncommon to have irregular cycles during your teens and that may be all that is happening.
This is likely why your doctor suggested waiting a bit longer to see if your period is still not showing up and test again at that time.
JALABOO
Jun 24, 2009, 10:03 PM
OK and after 60days if it doesn't come on what do I do and I took a blood test and that was negative so it could be something else
DoulaLC
Jun 25, 2009, 06:21 AM
It could be just that your cycles are irregular... as they are for some women. It may change as you get older, your doctor may decide to prescribe a birth control pill to help regulate it... although unless there were an actual medical issue there really is no need at this point, they may do another blood test... hopefully a quantitative one to be sure you are not pregnant and the testing before was just too early, they may decide to do some hormone testing to see if there is a medical reason as to why you aren't having them... perhaps a thyroid issue for example.
As you can see, there are a number of possibilities as to the reason. If it doesn't show up, see your doctor again and discuss it with him/her.
JALABOO
Jun 25, 2009, 01:58 PM
So taking a urine and a blood test on the first month is to early... and its like my 51 day...
DoulaLC
Jun 25, 2009, 02:01 PM
I would ask your doctor to do a quantitative blood test. If you are not showing levels of hcg by this point, you are not pregnant. Then you can discuss ways that you might try to get your cycles more regular.

Hon, I'm sorry your going through all this confusion. Its hard I know.
But it doesn't not sound to me like you are pregnant. You may still be. But take into account that stress is a huge culprit for a missed period. You say your not stressed about anything, but the fact that you're here asking, and the tone in your posting communicates to me that you are VERY stressed out about this missed/late period and it could be effecting it.
Also keep in mind, since I started my period back at 13, to today at 24, I STILL skip months sometimes. For some women its normal to have longer cycles (meaning more days in between each period)
Most women have a period every 28 days. 28 days is an average cycle. However, MY cycle is every 46 days on average. Sometimes I have one every 28-32 days, but mostly its 46. Which means, I pretty much skip every other month.
This could be normal for you.
You need to go to your doctor and explain to him that since the tests are coming back negative, you want to find out WHY you haven't had a period.
And PLEASE, relax. Take a bath in the dark with some candles lit (get permission first) and eat some chocolate. Ice cream or a hershey bar is best for this :) above all you need to relax and destress SOMEHOW. OK? You sound very highstrung over all this.
Good luck hon. And keep us posted!
*edit* also, I read through the posts, and I don't THINK this was asked before, I may have missed it, but are you on any birth control? If you are NOT, sometimes birth control CAN regulate a period.

OK today 6/25/09 just by thinking this is my period I have light brown discharge or blood coming out it doesent get heavy at all usually when my period about to come on its dark red... I went to the bathroom several times and it just very little amount coming out... I wonder what could this be if you can tell me
DoulaLC
Jun 26, 2009, 03:33 AM
Maybe the start of your period. For some women it will start slowly.
If after a few days it doesn't seem like your usual period, go see your doctor again and ask for another pregnancy test. If you aren't pregnant, discuss other possible reasons, any other testing they may want to do, and what might be tried to help regulate your cycles.
jenniepepsi

I get the brown clottish discharge often around the time of my period, sometimes before sometimes after.
Good luck hon. And remember, don't stress too much.
