    I need help! I'm only 15!
    My last normal period ended September 27, my boyfriend Nd I had sex on October 1 and then on 6th I had a weird, on and off period until around the 17th. It would vary from super dark to super bright pink Nd it the same thing with heavy and light and only had 3 consistent days, instead of my usual 9. Then I didn't have a period until November 19th and once again, only 2 days and super light with varying from bright pink to dark brown. I started having some symptoms around November 25th of tiredness, fatigue, bloating, moodiness, weird cramping, I always felt half like I was going to puke and half like I was just had a cold or something because of my constant stuffy nose Nd headache. Out of the blue around December 3rd, my stomach got weird looking. Around my pelvic bone got really round over the course of about 4 days but only toward the middle and under my belly button. My stomach always feels heavy or full, like I had just eaten a bunch of junk food? Heavy to the point of shortening my breath. Then I noticed my nipples were slighty bigger and much darker.
    I took 4 pregnancy tests and 3 were negative and 1 was positive. Also, we had sex again around October 20th and again on November 27th but it was exactly enjoyable either time. We had been together for a year and a half and were EXTREMELY sexually active with each other an was always enjoyable. Lately I just haven't been in the mood but the past couple days that's all I want to do...
    My grandmother had similar problems when she was pregnant with my mom and uncle. She didn't have any positive tests, had a regular period (most likely spotting), and didn't find out she was pregnant until around month 3, and so did my mother when she was pregnant with my older sister.
    I got some bleeding today, completely out of the blue but it's really watery, has bright pink and DARK brown and is fairly light, but my normal period is super heavy (I have to use super plus and still tend to bleed through). There isn't really any normal period blood in it.
    PLEASE, any advice? Or knowledge of what this could be??

    False negatives are common. False positives aren't. You had a positive, so congrats. If being pregnant at 15 was your goal, it sounds like you accomplished it. Can't really congratulate you on that, because I have yet to meet a child that's ready to have a child. But hey, you obviously planned this, so you must be ready for it, right? You have your own place? You both have jobs that can support a roof over your head, $12,000 plus in hospital fees if you're in the US and all goes well when you deliver. At least $2000 a month to cover supplies for baby, and doctors visits. Oh, and you have to pay rent, utilities, etc. on top of that.

    But hey, you're having sex, very sexually active according to you, so you thought about all of this, right?

    I'll just go smack my head against a wall now. Good luck with your life.

    As Alty said, a positive is usually a good sign that you are pregnant. So you need to immediately go to a doctor to confirm it. If you are, you need to start taking care of the fetus.

    I won't repeat what the others have said about the wisdom of being sexually active at 15 other then to say I agree.

    I also wonder how old your boyfriend is. At 15 you are under the age of consent in most areas. This could mean that you boyfriend could be prosecuted for rape.

    I'm going to add the dangers of being pregnant at your age.

    You are at an increased risk to have a child with Down's Syndrome. Do you know what that is? Most of them are mentally retarded. You are also at an increased risk of having Gestational Diabetes that could turn into chronic diabetes. You are at risk of Pregnancy Induced Hypertension. That means that if your blood pressure gets too high, you could have seizures.

    At 15, your body isn't finished growing, so it doesn't know how to grow both you AND a baby. You will probably have this baby very early and it may have to stay in the hospital for weeks or months. Since your pelvis isn't finished growing, you probably will have to have a cesarean section.

    Please see a doctor. I sincerely hope you aren't pregnant.

    Is sex really worth all of this? No, of course it isn't.
