Okay, so i'm 17 almost 18. i haven't been on BC in a few months, over 6 months. i have a regular period. i had sex while i was ovulating.. well according to the rule of two weeks after your first day. i checked online after having unprotected sex if i was, and i was. so anyway. that was last week, on friday. i just started having camps like pms but nothing as painful or no spotting. my upper ribs on my right side hurt, well they're tender. also, i'm anemic and i do take iron vitamins. i've been getting headaches and lightheadness a little more. also, the day after i had sex i had blacked out in the shower.. my mother said it sounded like a seizure. my lower back hurts too. could i be pregnant or just stressed, sick or something else?? i don't get my period til a week from now, but i'm worried alittle now? what's the changes of be pregnant? is it too soon to know just by my body??

HI!
The Clear Blue First Response pregnancy tests can be positive as early as 4-5 days BEFORE the period is missed.  I would definitely recommend getting a test ASAP.
The episode in the shower sounds to me like a typical vasovagal episode, and not a seizure. Vasovagal episodes are more common during pregnancy.
That's about as much as I can tell you with the information I have.
Good luck!

It's too early to tell. You can try a test now but you might want to wait a few more days. Use condoms from now on, being a young parent is not easy
