Aa
Please give me advice..
I lost my virginity about a year ago, I was 16, I'm now 17 and 18 in about 5 months.. I still haven't told my mum and I'm scared that I might be pregnant and the reaction I'll get from her.. I know she'll support me but I'm scared she'll be disappointed and ashamed :(
You've already had a weird cycle, there's no point in waiting. If your symptoms ARE pregnancy, it will be accurate. You respond and post on several things all asking for advice, yet don't do the one thing that will give you a 100% sure answer. You're right, I don't know what's going on in your personal life. However, this should take precedence over everything else. We can not tell you what you want us to, no one can. What you feel can be caused from hundreds of different problems. Reality is far more harsh than anything else, and I am not saying all I am to be mean or rude. I genuinely care for the people who post on this site and it's hard to watch when everyday young women post about situations such as this and worry themselves endlessly when a simple test would put it all to rest. I could sit here and answer every question and give detailed information on everything you feel and what it means, but where would it get you? You still wouldn't know what is going on and are back to square one. You're scared, and you're alone. Everyone of us has been there, some of us more than we would like. However the sooner you take action the better you can plan. Delaying it will only make it harder on the end, and often makes the situation worse.
Clysta please inbox me so I can inform you of what's happening please.. Sorry to seem snappy but I just don't like it when people assume stuff
I never asked you to respond to this post. You don't know what's going on in my personal life right now ok. I live in Australia and I can't did anywhere that sells $1 tests. And I don't know what you want me to do anyway.. You say wait til my next missed period but then you want me to test now.
And what will you do if you ARE pregnant? Put off appointments because you just can't do it? You have the potential to be carrying another life that should come before ANYTHING else right now. Yes, situations are not idealistic but you made your choices and you need to step up and actually find out what's going on. There are dozens of free clinics that offer testing and even stores that carry tests for $1. Instead of wondering, find out so you can start planning next steps. A child OR pregnancy is NOT just something to blow off, which is exactly what you're doing. YES this is harsh but sometimes people need a hard wake up call to get in gear and get moving. Stop depending on others and YOU do it.
I can't yet. Don't judge me when yOu don't even know what's going on! Sorry for keeping this updated and everything, I won't worry about it. Goodbye.
Speculation is worthless. You keep saying you're going to test this week, when your next period comes, tomorrow, etc etc. it doesn't matter how you feel, because it is all around irrelevant. It sounds like you don't want to at all.
No not sickness kinda feeling.. It's kinda like period cramping just uncomfortable not painful.. I feel really bloated too..
Just an update.. I haven't had a chance to test yet I'm just being extra careful until I know for sure. I just feel weird like in my tummy I just have a funny kinda feeling in the bottom part.. What does that sound like to you?
My friend is going to take me to a pregnancy clinic this week.. Will they think im silly if i turn out not to be pregnant?
Do you have a health department or a pregnancy resource center near you? The health department offers pregnancy testing on a sliding scale, and depending on your income, it can be free. There's also a place by me that used be called AAA Women's Services, but is now Choices Pregnancy Resource Center. They also do free pregnancy testing if I'm not mistaken.
Even if you have a dollar, and have a dollar tree close by, those pregnancy tests are reliable. But it's very important to receive prenatal care while pregnant and putting off testing is only worrying you and stressing you out. Let us know what happens!

Ok I was going to test tommorrow but my mums pay didn't go in so I had to buy dinner with the last of my pay.. I'm deffinately going to test as soon as I can because I just have a feeling, I cant describe it. Yesterday I cried over spilling a glass of water.. I cried for 15 mins over it lol and I still have uncomfortable cramps.
You need to stop prolonging it and test. You need to be getting prenatal care if you ARE pregnant, so it's important that you do it. Pregnancy isn't something to fool around with and it shouldn't be tossed on the back burner. Not only are there foods you need to avoid/eat, there are also medicines that you need to avoid, vitamins you have to take, and appointments you need to go to.
Aww that's not good :( I hope it doesn't happen good luck! I haven't tested yet.. I might test on the weekend
Have your boyfriend there yes... but I wouldn't have an appt before you tell her
That's something mothers want to share with there daughter. But best of luck. I recently found out I'm gonna have a miscarriage. :(

i was the same but i had to tell my mum i felt really bad but she has been there for me and has given me so much advice, you should tell your mum you will feel much better :)
Ok thanks.. If I find out I am pregnant I wanna see a dr first so I can tell her how far alOng I am.. Do you think it'd be a good idea to have my boyfriend tell her with me?
Sat her down and told her.. just let her know you were protected but somehow it still happened. After awhile she will be fine
How did you tell her? And I plan to wait and find out if I am pregnant before I say anything.. Was it hard to tell her?
I found out i was pregnant also... and im 17 and in the exact same boat as you are. My mom wasn't very happy but she's doing a lot better. It gets easier once she knows.. but i would make sure you really are pregnant though.
And could you read my other post 'pregnant or weird period' please? I'd really like some advice :)
I'm just scared.. She brags to people about how proud she is that I'm still a virgin and shes so proud that I'm waiting like her and it breaks my heart :'(
