    Can I be pregnant
    Im 21 years old. Me and my boyfriend had sex last April 18 (withdrawal) and April 30 (with condom) My expected date of my period was last May 5 or 7 but until now, I don't have my period yet. Im scared. I used pregnancy test kit last may 8 and the result is negative. Is there a possibility that I am pregnant? And what will I do? Thank you..

    It's possible, but it is also possible that your period is just off. Since it has been about a week since you tested, try another one, making sure that you follow directions carefully. If still negative, see what happens for your period in June, you might just skip a month, or you could see your doctor for a blood test sooner.

    ANY time you have penile insertion you run the risk of pregnancy. Did you not ever learn that? You can reduce the risks using various forms of birth control (with the withdrawal method being the least effective), but you can't eliminate the risk.

    You say the thought of pregnancy scares you, but apparently it didn't scare you enough to prevent taking risks.

    If your period was expected May 5-7, then a test on May 8th was probably too soon. You should wait about 2 weeks after your missed period. Then take another test.

    If you are pregnant, then your next steps are up to you. You have three choices:

    1) an abortion
    2) give birth and give the child up for adoption
    3) give birth and raise the child

    Which of those choices you take is up to you. But I urge you to get counseling to make the best choice for you. All three choices involve risks and consequences. You need to fully educate yourself about them, better than you educated yourself about the risks and consequences of having sexual intercourse..
