I'm 17, I think I'm pregnant but my periods are messed up right now so I don't know for sure. Telling my parents is not an option nor is getting a test or getting to a dr. what do I do

I am 17 and believe I may be pregnant. I had two periods last month and shortly after had un protected sex. This month I have not had my period and m three weeks late. Going to my parents is not an option, nor is seeing a Dr. getting an at home test is next to impossible. What do I do?

There is nothing you can do until you find out for sure. You were able to have sex without them finding out, so I'm sure you can figure out how to buy a pregnancy test without them finding out.

- I lived in a different state when I had sex, now I live with my dad, he is much more strict

There is nothing you can do until you find out whether you are pregnant. Can you go to the school nurse on Tuesday?

I can but they call your parents, my dad is very old fashioned... plus I really am lesbian I was just experimenting to see if I might like guys so I don't even know how to explain it to him...

Can you ask a friend to pick one up for you?

I literally have no friends here yet, I just moved here Sunday night. It was all last minute. I have only been at this new school since Tuesday.

I don't know what you want us to say then. You can't make any decisions until you know whether you are pregnant.

If you cannot figure out how to do the common sense stuff, then you better find an older female to talk to. If you are in the US, then a trip to the mall would be a cover for a doctor's appointment, or walk in clinic.

This might go without saying...but something you really need to consider. If you are having this much trouble getting a simple test done to find out if you are... you are going to have a world of trouble doing what the next step is if you actually are. How long do you think you would be able to keep it secret? The look what I found on the way home excuse won't work.

Doing NOTHING is surely NOT an option.

How are your periods messed up? Are you still having them? Have they been irregular... if so, have they always been irregular? What is happening that makes you think that you might be pregnant? How long ago did you have sex?

Do you ever go to the supermarket or a shop like Walmart, Target, or Walgreens on your own? If so, go and purchase a test. Then, following the directions carefully, take the test the next morning when you first wake up. The result, one way or the other, will show up within just a few minutes.

Wait another 2 or 3 months and if you are, everyone will know when you start showing.
But no, school nurses or counselors do not call your dad. Also, almost every store from Walmart to a "dollar" store has pregnancy tests.
