    Am I pregnant or do I have so much anxiety, I just think I am?
    I had unprotected sex a lot, and one of the times he may not have pulled out in time.

    It's been six weeks now, and since then a lot of watery discharge has came out, frequent headaches, stomach cramps, back aches, mood swings, hot flashes, frequent urination, my stomach has been bloating at night, I've been eating a lot and all I ever want to do is sleep.

    But, I took four pregnancy test about 4 weeks after, and they all were negative. Also, I usually get very heavy periods, but it came a day early and was very light. It started brown, turned light pink then to its normal color. I've never had most of these as PMS symptoms, and it's been like this for 4 weeks, so I'm pretty sure it's not my period.

    I'm only 15, so I'm freaking out! Could this all be in my head because it's all I've been thinking about, and that's why I'm having all of these symptoms, or could I really be pregnant?

    Thank you.

    You are not even on the pill? Have you been to a Gynecologist? Had a pap smear, etc. etc.

    The simple answer is:

    • Anytime you have intercourse there is the chance of pregnancy. The best contraceptives are not even 100% effective, and unprotected sex using the "pull out method", is no protection at all since all it takes is the tiniest amount of seminal fluid to escape in order to become pregnant. Do you realize that this fluid is leaking out during the entire time, not just at orgasm?


    If you are not going to abstain, which is the only true 100% effective birth control option, then you need to take steps to protect yourself and stay healthy. Read more information on pregnancy questions.

    Pulling out is not a "method" while it does slightly reduce the amount of sperm it does not stop lots of sperm that is in all of the early fluids. And that is only if he pulls out in time, only if he does not re-enter or any of the sperm gets back in.

    So you have a very very good chance of being pregnant, and it appears you are trying to, by the lack of any birth control.

    Plus you risk of danger of infection and other disease is high since there is no protection

    Of course you could be pregnant. When you are making adult decisions, you have to be prepared to handle the consequences like an adult. That includes seeking medical attention if you believe you are pregnant (in spite of the tests. If you cannot do something like make an OBGYN or clinic appointment confirm wither way, why in the world are you having unprotected sex? Having a child or an STD requires you to make far more complicated decisions than this one.
