I'm scared I might be pregnant, I did have sexual intercourse
My period is two weeks late now, and I'm having severe cramping in my lower abdomen all I want to do is be in a ball and hold my stomach, my breast have been very tender and I've had to urinate more than usual and I'm very nauseas through out the day. I'm wondering how high the chances are I'm pregnant cause I'm really scared to take a pregnancy test:(

Your chances are high if you are not on birth control or did not use an effective form of birth control, and the "pull-out" method is no more effective than no method. With sexual intercourse, there is ALWAYS a chance for pregnancy. With your period already two weeks late and your being sick, you really do need to go take a pregnancy test... because even if you are not pregnant, there may be something else wrong delaying your cycle and making you sick.

Thank you for the help charlotte its very helpful

[Rawrxo]

Very helpful thank you

[charlotte234s]

You're welcome. It's not scary to take a home pregnancy test, that would be my first step suggestion. You can buy one at a grocery store for usually less than 15 bucks, then you just follow the directions and see what it says. Despite the results, if the period doesn't come soon, you can go to a local health clinic for low-cost care and find out what's up, and figure out what you need to do. Good luck!

Kk thank you ill try that

[startover22]

Raw, if you don't mind me asking, how old are you?

[Rawrxo]

I'm seventeen:( as why you can see I'm so scared

[startover22]

All right, and rightly so to be scared.
Please get a home pregnancy test as soon as you can. Tomorrow morning would be excellent, then you can take the questions out if you are or not. Then sweety we can work on the next step, OK? Either way yes or no, it is going to be OK. Do you live at home? Do you go to high school?

Rawro - You can also get home pregnancy tests in some dollar stores, they are a bit cheaper and work just as well as the pricier ones. Please go and find out so that you can seriously consider your options. Also, if you are, and you plan to have the baby, then you should start taking pregnancy vitamins etc.

Having said that. Obviously this is not something that you expected so please, from now on use protection. Condoms are far cheaper than a baby, trust me. If you decide to go to the clinic for a pregnancy test and it comes back negative, why not ask to be put on the Pill. You really do have a choice when to have a child, accidents can still happen, but if you're having unprotected sex then you are playing with fire.

Let us know how it works out, and good luck.

[Rawrxo]

Thank you I will deffinetly do that
To be clear I did use protection and it broke every time
And I can't go on the pill cause I don't want all those risks

[startover22]

One more thing, can you tell us why it scares you to take the test? Or is it the answer from the test that you are scared of. You know I took my tests in my own bathroom honey, all you do is pee on the little thing and wait a few then it tells you if you are or not... it isn't scary to take, I promise that to you!

[Rawrxo]

Cause I'm scared of the answer cause I don't believe in adoption or abortion its not for me, but I do know I would still follow my dreams and make it work cause I am very driven to success and I will accomplish my goals but its just going to be so hard. Well thank you ill have to do that :s

[startover22]

thank you i will deffinetly do that
to be clear i did use protection and it broke everytime
and i can't go on the pill cause i dont want all those risks

There are other thing beside the pill that you could think about.

[charlotte234s]

Well if you can't go on the pill and you aren't able to effectively use a condom, perhaps it would be best and safest if you abstain from any further sexual intercourse, because I think that the risks of pregnancy are much scarier than the bloating and side effects of taking birth control.

[charlotte234s]

I am glad that you have a strong sense of what you feel is right and what you need to do, but it is important now that if you are pregnant you begin to get medical care, and also make sure everything is okay, or if you are not pregnant, see why your body is behaving abnormally.

[Alty]

I agree with Charlotte and Starty.

I wish you all the best and hope that it's just a false alarm. If it is, consider yourself lucky and find a form of birth control that works for you. Talk to your doctor, there are lower dose birth control pills that have less side effects and there are other types of birth control as well.

Either way, let us know how it turns out, we'll be thinking about you.

Take care and good luck.

[Rawrxo]

Thank you to all of you. I feel much more relaxed and I will go for that test as soon as possible thank you so much

[startover22]

And we just keep going don't we Raw? LOL
Like Alty, I will be waiting for your reply after the test sweet heart!
Oh and Raw, we are here to help you, I just saw the other thread that got closed, I wasn't going to bring it up but I want you to understand that no one means you any harm, we all just want the best for RAW!
So don't be offended when others tell you of their experiences, they are learning tools from people that have already gone through this or from people that are going through it just like you sweet. K? :) :) :)

[Rawrxo]
