I am 17 years old and I had sex with my boyfriend about two weeks ago and the condom fell off.. I have been having flu like symptoms such as my stomach hurting, headache, nausea, and also my areolas are darker then normal.. I don't know how to tell if I am pregnant or when to take a test.. I just need advice and HELP!. thank you so much.

Usually you have to wait until the first day of your expected period. If it doesn't come, that's when you take the test. There's some tests that claim to be sensitive enough to tell you up to 5 days before your missed period but if the test is negative they usually recommend retesting a week later. Even if you wait until the day of your missed period, if the test is negative and your period doesn't come within a week they recommend re-testing.

No because is 100% effective. I would get myself on a hormonal because if I were you so that you won't have to worry as much when stuff like this happens. Pregnancy will still be possible. But at least then if the condom breaks or falls off you'll still be protected.

The condom "fell off"? Okay... never heard of that happening but if you say so... That should have been when you stopped in the first place unless you was trying to get pregnant. That would have been the end zone for me, no condom, no sex.

But it's already done, and I don't think you should be able to tell just yet if you are pregnant yet or not. Last year when I was pregnant with my little girl, I couldn't get the test to read until around or after my next period. You need to wait it out and then take a test. Other than that all your symptoms sounds like their coming from worrying rather than pregnancy itself. The darker areolas I don't know but you will have to wait a little while longer. Good Luck!
