Is my girlfriend pregnant?

My girlfriend's period is late by 4 days now. We had sex twice this month and both times, we used a condom. She had a very small amount of blood yesterday and had a small amount of cramping. This morning she was regular and had no bleeding. And now this afternoon she says that she is getting bad cramps but with no bleeding.

We are both extremely worried (we are sixteen). I just don't understand how she could possibly be pregnant. I was SO careful. And we only had PROTECTED sex twice! I am so afraid that I could have really messed up both of our lives. I am scared.

What do I do? And if she does turn out to be pregnant, what in gods name is going to happen to us?

You can never be so careful, a condom doesn't always protect you, she needs to be on the birth control pills so that you guys don't have to worry everytime you have sex. If she is cramping then its just a matter of days before she will start her period and her worry could also cause the delays. Have her take a pregnancy test they have the 24hr ones, also call shoppers drugmart they give great advise. Please have her make an appointment to get on the pill as soon as possible so that you can stop my maddness of worrying everytime.  Good Luck

I wouldn't worry just yet. She's young and it takes time to get on a regular schedule. I never got regular so I worried a lot for no apparent reason. Well until I actually did get pregnant but we never used condoms and I wasn't on the pill so that was kind of a given. Condoms aren't 100%, nothing is except abstanance, so I wouldn't totally rely on anything except not having sex.
You both really need to take a look at your situation and think about how much you are worrying now. You need to think about if you want to take the risk at such a young age. Your possibly not ready to have a sexual relationship and you can still have a very good relationship without involving sex in it. You could even stick to just foreplay and petting until you are ready to be parents. I know, it's hard to go back once you know how good it feels to have sex but is all this stress and worrying really worth it.

It is normal to be late sometimes it is normal to be a week late.   Give it time at least a week before rushing to the doctor.  I know that your anxious having a child is a big responsiblity and even more so if you are a teen.  Stress on your girlfriend will make the period more late.  If she is, and you guys have a good relationship with both set of parents maybe you will have the support from them.

If she turns out to be not pregnant, then she needs to go to Planned Parenthood and get herself on some birth control. It's cheap for teens and her parents don't have to know. Two forms of contraception are better than one.

I appreciate it very much. I am 100% positive that the condom didn't break. Me and her have had two condoms break on us before and ever since then, I have been extremely careful and made sure to check it to make sure the condom was working.

calm down, if she is pregnant all she has to do is get a test, parents don't have to know about anything. condoms aren't 100% protected. So just let her get the test, if she is pregnant you have to decide if you want to be a father or give the baby up for adoption. It won't ruin your life and then later on down the road you'll get to meet the kid or open adoption. If she bled a bit I'm not sure she is pregnant, I'm not a doctor though and just remember if you are having sex there is always a chance and if you can't make a good decision don't have sex

Try not to stress and try to calm down. I know it's hard but worrying will get you no where. If she is stressing then that could make her period late. If you used a condom and it didn't break and are very sure about that, then I would have to say that she prob isn't pg. But do go get the test to ease your mind. Very best of luck to both of you!!!!
