Aa
almost 6 days late.
So, I'm almost 6 days late. Still havent gotten a pregnancy test yet. Headaches, Gas, Bloating, Dizzy! No cramps, peeing a lot, very thirsty all the time, nauseous!!!!!! oh yeah, and I'm having hot flashes! I don't know if that would be related to pregnancy at all. Woke up with a slight back ache and my pelvic area feels tight. Getting more and more nervous everyday. Anyone else feel like this?

Please remember that condoms are birth control but are not as effective as other forms of birth control. There are IUD's, patches, shots, pills so many different things. Condoms are the least effective of all the forms of birth control. Also remember that the pill, patch and shots have to be taken regularly and a specific time and are less effective when you take antibiotics. I would either go to your gyno or planned parenthood which is a reduced fee clinic all over the US or your local health department and get educated and come up with a good plan to prevent pregnancy. Approx 90% of people who get pregnant in high school end up dropping out and not graduating. Additionally most of those women end up as single mothers bc the father cannot handle the responsibility. It would be sad if you lost out on prom, homecoming, senior year, college, going out with friends bc you got pregnant :(. Enjoy this time in your life. It is an amazing time, SO much fun!!
Well I'm glad it all worked out. You might want to go to your doctors and talk about what birth control would work best for you. If taking the pill is hard to remember or you don't want to stop and use condoms, then look for something that doesn't require either. It's important to be realistic and responsible about your future. Having a baby will not solve relationship problems, and will not keep your boyfriend around. It's a huge life changing experience and you need to be ready for it when it happens. In high school, that is extremely hard to do. Look over what options you have and decide what will work best, that way you won't be in this situation again. Good luck.
it was an equate from walmart. i tested last night, after i was 6 days late. but then i started my period today around noon. and ill think about that. or at least using condoms. me and my boyfriend had a talk today. we havent decided what we were going to do.
