I NEED HELP!
by WonderingBeauty, Jul 01, 2008 02:50PM
Hi, well i'm 15 1/2 years old and i was suppose to start my period on the 21st of June. Then, in the afternoon, of the 30th, i had really light bleeding. Then today it seems a little heavier and darker. Usually my period lasts about 6 or 7 days and during the first 4 days it's really heavy. I've been having some signs of being pregnant, such as the sore breasts, nausea and vomiting, and some cramping. Should i take an at home pregnancy test or is there nothing to worry about? Please help i'm seriously confused about this. ANY advise at all with help greatly. And like i said, i'm only 15 1/2 years old! So please!
hopefully it's just normal, teenage hormone and cycle fluctuations. take a test to make sure. and if you're not pregnant, talk to your mom about getting you on the pill.
Pills are not 100% effective. My mom would only have 4 kids instead of 5 if they were :)
Pills do not protect against STD's. Unless you are married, you should NOT be having sex without a condom.
Forgetting to take your pills or taking them at a different time everyday increases the possibility of the pill not working.
Take a pregnancy test. If you are on the pill and have been for so long, then there is no other reason for your period to be late.
I have to say, I am very surprised that your mother condones unprotected sex at 15, and that she is so casual about the possibility of pregnancy.
Pregnant or not, you need to see a doctor anyways because of all of your other symptoms. PLEASE let a medical professional and NOT your mother provide you with information about sex and babies in the future.
despite bleeding, you can be pregnant, or you may be miscarrying. Until you know, make sure you avoid ALL drugs, cigarettes, and alcohol. I hope your mother doesn't buy that for you as well...
