pregnancy

Hi names brooke, im 17, and i am pregnate. have been for 14 days so far. well i think i am. Ive had all the symptoms.
i didnt start my period. but i did start bleeding lighter in color spottier blood. may -14th-08. and i sually start my period like Real close to the end of the month. im on birthcontrol. WELl my boyfrind busted in me. AND i most deff think i have been pregnate for 14 days. I took a home preg. test yeserday may-27-08 and this morning. BOTH cam eout negative. i looked online and it said, its not always true. WELL yesteday i was only 13 days preg. and it said You should usualy wait till 14 days For  a result or what ever. well i read on my untructuins your suppost to leave it under while urninating for 5 seconds then place it on a flat cerfice. well i did that , sept i held it under WAY longer then 5 seconds, bc i forgot. BOTH times i took the pregnacy test. Do you think that could be the cause of it being negative?

its not definately true that she should have gotten a positive on a HPT i took 3 HPT's all negative, and went to my OBGYN, got a blood test and turns out i am pregnant. and no BC does not always work. theres still tht chance of fallin pregnant.
but good luck to you. and if you need to talk or need any advice feel free to ask me (:

I fell pregnant on birth control and continued taking it up until i was 2 months pregnant. It does NOT harm the baby although is advised you stop talking it when pregnant.

If you have missed a period and have tested negative then the likelyhood is you are NOT pregnant and your symptoms are psychological. If you are taking your BC as instructed then you shouldnt have your periods for another 3 weeks right?? In your weeks break??

I was on the pill for 5 years due to gynae probles (i was not sexually active until i met my most recent partner at 18 and knew about the birds and the bees) and for the last year i have had NO Period whatsoever. This can sometimes happen on the pill.

If you dont wnat to be pregnant, which not to sound mean but is probably for the best as you dont seem mature enough to support a baby, then you should abstain from sex or use a valid form of BC AND a condom for barrier protection against pregnancy AND STDs.

Give yourself time to grow up. We see lots lof little girls on here who as much as they deny it are clearly TRYING to concieve, some of them have been successful and have regretted it. At this stage in your life you should be out trying to make best of life and enjoying the remainder of your childhood while you can instead of trying to create another

Dude, you took 2 tests... as late as you are you should've gotten SOMETHING.

All this stress and worry is causing your body to "Think" that you're pregnant... so that's why your period is late.

I wouldn't waste your doctors time.
You just got on a new b/c and that can REALLY mess your period up.

Switching b/c's caused my sister to miss 2 whole periods...
So you could very well be experiencing the same thing.

I think that your safe.. If you have taken what 3 tests and they were all neg? and also fyi taking bc during the first and even part of the second month of your pregnancy shouldnt harm the baby if you are pregnant.  BC is just high doses of hormones to basically trick your body into thinking it is pregnant so it wont get pregnant.. If that makes any sense.. But yeah.. just go to the doctor.. blood tests are really accurate.

you should make an annual appointment with a GYN if you are sexually active and continue to see one every year just to make sure.  it is the best thing for you:)  I am glad you are starting to feel a little less worried and more relaxed:)

did you take the last test today?  If it is negative then you really should not worry any more.  
No i do not agree with the way the other women are speaking to you but i do believe that some of which they are trying to say is correct just not the correct presentation.

If you do not want a baby right now and are not quite ready which means an good education, good job, stable place to live and a little extra cash saved up, then you should think about staying on birth control.

My mother had me when she was 16 and although she is a great mother, she struggled.  I vowed that i was going to get myself a good education and a job prior to getting pregnant so i got on birth control at 16 and stayed on it til last year when i graduated college and me and my boyfriend/current fiance of 8 years decided that we were ready.  we came off birth control and got pregnant right away although we had 2 miscarriages and are trying again now for a healthy pregnancy.  Good luck to you and i hope that you relax so that your body can work and start your period:)

hey i dont think your pregnant you took a test and it came back neg so therefor your not it would had said positive or pregnant or + or ;) if you were you had a - negative test and sometimes birth control throws your period off or stress can do that also you would have gotten a positive by now...you have neen going on with this post for a long time and i think everyone who's been pregnant or everyone who is a women teenager lady girl whatever who has a period know that your signs of being pregnant are also signs of pms and told you hey broke your not preg...............wait it out man it will come and if it doesnt go to the doc it could take a while to start sometimes....ppl tell you everyday your not so you must not be....Get over it your a little girl and need to go to school and maybe finish before you start a family.


maybe in a few weeks when you get your period let us know your not preg....

try to stop worrying because it really does not seem like you are pregnant.  the test would have come back positive already.  you should keep taking your birth control and try not to stress and your period will come.  Good Luck

well i can't be in a SCHOOL SCHOOL. i can't concentrate,and the doc put me on ritalen, how ever you spell it. But i didnt like taking it. because it would  put me in a bad mood, and i would be all jittery and stuff. So i got home schooled.=]. its way better for me. i got two more years really. But its not that hard, because i do paces, and i can go though them like its nothing.i hope im not pregnate, but if i am, i can't do anything about it. But tell my boyfriend. then tell our parents.
are you saying my typeing sucks. Well i sometimes have been crying when i type, because im scared, but im so used to abbreviateing everthing. so yeah.

hopefully you are not pregnant because just by the way you type it sounds like you need to be sitting in a classroom finishing high school rather than sitting on medhelp asking people if you are pregnant

I just looked this up, on a site.
The first sign of pregnancy is usually a missed menstrual period. A little bleeding or spotting may occur, due to implantation of the fertilized egg. Some women experience no early symptoms of pregnancy during the first few weeks, while others may experience all of them. A woman's breasts usually seem larger and feel tender as the mammary glands prepare for eventual breastfeeding. Nipples begin to enlarge and the veins over the surface of the breasts become more noticeable. Morning sickness (i.e., nausea and vomiting) is somewhat common, and can happen at any time—day or night. Extreme sensitivity to smell may worsen nausea. It is normal to feel bloated and more tired than usual. Frequent urination is common, and the pregnant woman may find herself getting up during the night to urinate. There may be a creamy white discharge from the vagina; that is normal. Food cravings may occur. Most women gain about 2–4 pounds (0.7-1.8 kg) by the end of the first trimester (0–13 weeks), and their clothes begin to feel tight.

[stuff has happened] sept i dont think if i was really preg, then ide only be like 2 or 3 weeks. maybe i could be wrong.[ahh i am so confused.] the test say negative, but what if there wrong? ive known people who were preg. the whole time, and the test would say negative. sept one. AH im so nervous and scared, and now im getting worried.. ill see if i sart my period this month. THEN if i dont I know fer sure i really am.

I dont think your pregnant. It would have came out positive on one of the test. I think that if you really think you are then go take a blood test like you said. Thats the only way you'll know for sure. Until then I think your pregnant then you shouldnt be taking your birth control until you know for sure.
