    Yes, it's very possible. Take another test in a few weeks, and use condoms from now on if you don't want to be... do you want to be?

    First. Have you missed your period yet? If you have been reading up on this, you could have seriously psyched yourself out. Many women actually experience the physical signs of pregnancy if they really believe that they are, even if they are not.

    Second. If you have missed your period by at least a week and you have a negative, wait another week and retest, if it is still negative. Go see your doctor.

    Third. If you are only 16, why the heck are you even considering sex if you aren't on any kind of contraceptive. You shouldn't really be considering sex at all if you are not ready to have a child. Even with proper contraceptive you can still become pregnant. And as far as Im concerned you are not old enough to financially or emotionally raise a child.

    I suggest that you go and see a doctor, and if you are not pregnant, get yourself on some form of birth control. Then I suggesst that you SLOW DOWN! You have plenty of life ahead of you, and having a child too young will rob you from that life. Whether you keep it or not, you will be forever changed. Good luck and God bless.

    I have copied and pasted my answer to her from a PM she sent me so that I do not have to re-type the whole thing.

    Hey, Chally, thanks for PMing me with your question. However, it is best that you post your question on the board for all to see. You see, I am a nursing student and am not always available to answer questions due to school and clinicals. We have some other women who are very knowlegable in this area also. Another thing is that someone else reading your question and the answers my get the answer to her problem.

    With that said, I will answer this question, and then we can go to the boards from there, K?https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/../ima...ies/tongue.gif

    You say you are extremely sexually active and not by choice. Does this mean he is raping you?

    You say your boyfriend wants a baby, do you want one? It sounds as though you don't.

    If you are not, that is a good thing because it does not sound as though you are in a stable relationship.

    Just because you aren't doesn't mean that there is anything wrong with you or with him. You just were not in your fertile period when you were having sex.

    Now, think about this. If you are, and I will quote you, "i am extremley sexually active, none of this by choice really" if you are being raped, this is a crime. Do you want to be tied to a man like this for the rest of your life?

    Also tell the boyfriend, if he wants sex he will sue a condom,

    Not using one shows no respect for you.
