Hi there,
I'm worried as I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend 7 days ago, my next period is due in around 3 days so I'm concerned that I could be pregnant. My boobs are very sore and swollen, my apatite has increased and my tummy is swollen and It sounds weird but I actually feel pregnant! I understand that all of these could be pre menstrual symptoms but is there anyway I could be pregnant? Please help! #scared

You only had sex 7 days ago. It would be too early for you to be experiencing any pregnancy symptoms.

Because of this stress, you may or may not get your period when it is due in 3 days or so.

Seven days after sex, you will not have any of those signs, those are signs you will have in 2nd or 3rd month of pregnancy.

You may be pregnant, but you will have to wait and see if you miss your period or not

Are you prepared to be a mother at 15? You should be concerned entering into sex at that age, particularly with no protection!!

See what happens when your period is due. If it doesn't show up as expected, give it a few more days in case it is just late. If still no period, try a pregnancy test, making sure to follow the directions carefully.

If you get a negative result, test again the following week if still no period. If it turns out that you are pregnant, you'll need to make some big changes. If you aren't pregnant, consider yourself lucky and do not have sex, protected or not, until you are in a position to raise a child should an unplanned pregnancy occur. Birth control does protect you 100%, so there will always be a chance of pregnancy if you continue having sex.

I appreciate the answers. Thank you. Yes I understand I'm 15 and I made a silly mistake. I'm a teenager, we make mistakes! Sex Wasn't intended to happen but it did. For medical reasons I can not be on birth control. But there are other contraception that I should've used. So thank thank you for the answers, I'll just wait and see if my period comes.

Heya,
My boyfriend and I have recently started trying for a baby, but I'm a bit slack on the research. Could anyone tell me early signs/symptoms of pregnancy throughout the first 3 weeks after conceiving? I want to know what to expect at the earliest stages.
Thanks lovelys

I have merged your posts for a more clear picture of what is going on.

You are 15 and trying for a baby?!

Please reconsider your Child choice. 15 is not a good time. Where will the money come from? You are still in high school.

#SMH. :(

(Attempting to reply in a way a child of 15 would understand)

Seriously! Five minutes after you posted the above, you post what's below!!

So you lied when you said it was a mistake?

Do you have any clue what is involved in having a baby at your age? You should be more concerned about what's going to happen 9 months after you conceive, not 3 weeks. First, your body still has developing to do. You risk both your health and the baby's by becoming pregnant so young.

Second, who is going to support this child? Do you have any clue what it costs to raise a child. IO saw a recent study that puts it at over $20K during the first year and about $15K per year thereafter. And that doesn't take into account the costs of room and boards for the three of you. How old is this boy?

Third, do you realize that your life will essentially be almost totally dedicated to the baby for the first few years? No hanging with friends (if you still have any). You are essentially giving up the first few years of young adulthood.

Its dumb enough when you take risks by having sex at your age, but to be deliberately trying at your age is hair brained! Please, Please do some research on teenage parents and see what you are up against.
