hi i go pregnant at 15 i had been sexualy active for quuite a while. however my periods were very irratic and to be honist i never no when i was due exsept the day before as would get really bad cramps. it turned out that i was 4 months pregnanat by the time i found out, i was 'pursuaded' to have an abortionh which at the time seemed the right thing to do. However i have always felt such a gut renching feeling of guilt and loss since then and had probs getting preg again. suggest that if it turns out that you are pregnant that you think exstreamly carefully what you want to do.  Lookng back at my abortion i no that for me it Was the right desition as i had no mother to help we with everything etc. I now have had naturaly two loverly girls one 4y and one 2y. but an abortion is not something that you should do without a second hesitation as you must no that the disition, witch either one you make will be with you for life. Please think carefully, and if its turns out that your not preg think about getting the pill or depo-proveru injection which can help regulate period cycles. hope you do not have to make such life chaning chocies at your age, and that this is ust a scare. but whatever you choose i hope it is right for you. good luk in finding out.

Hi!
ALWAYS recommend taking a pregnancy test.  The home tests are very accurate and
easy to do  these days.  If you want the MOST accurate results, there are many doctor's offices or clinics that offer complimentary testing. While you are there, you can get counseling about Ob care/termination options/birth control/ or whatever else may be necessary.  Don't be afraid to go get help!
Good luck!

Hi,you really need to think about the dates you have had unprotected or possible pregnancy causing sex. having been pregnant myself, i would say that if you got pregnant before that late period you would now be over 2 months pregnant and you would KNOW you were pregnant, morning sickness, aching, fatigue, and all that. it is possible to have a 'period' after you have gotten pregnant so you could technically have been pregnant a while. home pregnancy tests only work when used after what should have been the first day of your missed period, so if you have missed a period you should be able to take one, or if youre unsure of it you can get your doctor to do it for you. i am underweight and with job stress etc so sometimes id miss a period from time to time, so after missing 2 i took a test but cos i was already 7 weeks when i took the test the result of the home test was a little confusing cos my hormones were already so changed, so the doctor got me to do a more sophisticated one for her to look at.( dont worry that only involves peeing in a cup!)
but even before i got pregnant if my period was late, even though i was practising safe sex, its always possible to get pregnant, i would just take a test a couple of days after it was supposed to have started. theyre easy to do and doing it as soon as you have a late period just gives you peace of mind that it is just stress/weight etc related.
hope this is helpful, just wanted to try and help cos i know how you must be feeling right now. i am only 20 and when i thought i was pregnant it was scary, when i found out for sure that i was it was even scarier. my advice, if youre late, take a test. if youre really anxious go to the doctor and talk to them, theyre there to help, and you can always request to see a female doctor if you'd find that more comfortable. you get used to it, once you get pregnant, your health, even your private parts cease being private anymore and you sort of get used to it, oddly. so if youre a little freaked id advise seeing your doctor cos theyd tell you for definite either way.if you have any more questions or anything id be happy to help, cos like i say, i know how scary that feeling is!

Very possible you should get a pregnancy test....if its negative it may be too early to tell or your period could just be late because of stress
