possibly pregnant.. ?

hi.. i've never posted on here before and i don't know if anyone will respond.. but i'm 15 years old and i think i may be pregnant. i don't really know who to go to so i thought i'd try this. the last time i had sex was about 2-3 months ago (with my boyfriend of 10 months.. i don't want you thinking i don't know who the dad is). i got my period last month but it was longer than usual and kinda brown near the end of the week, the whole cleaning out thing. that's never happened before so i started questioning the whole pregnancy when that happened. this month my period's 6-7 days late.. that's unusual too, it's never late. i'm always hungry, get random headaches, my boobs started getting sore, sometimes i get cramps, can't sleep well, feeling nauseated, tired more, body aches.. but i don't have a baby bump.. i don't know when that comes along. it sounds to me like i could be pregnant but i wanna hear from people with experience if it's pregnancy or could be something else.. i'm really scared and i told my boyfriend and all he kept saying was "you aren't so don't worry".. but i can't stop thinking about it.. do you think i could be pregnant?

Try not to worry too much. At 15 it;s most likely just going to be a change in your cycle. Obviously there is the possibility it could be something else, but it's also possible it's not. I just think it's sounds like your normal period  though, so hopefully all is fine :) Any other questions just drop me a message and I'll try to help!

i haven't taken one yet. i was waiting till my boyfriend got back from vacation to take one so he could be with me when i see the result. i did read that a lot of women mistake vaginal bleeding as their period so that could be the case or it could simply be a change in my cycle. i never really even thought of that cuz for the past 4 years my period's always been regular. thanks for telling me that because i never considered that before. although, it could still be the vaginal bleeding because it was a very odd period. it was light the first like 2 days then seemed normal then it lasted a bit longer but the last like 4 days were brown spotting, it didn't really even seem like a period near the end. that's never happened to me before so that kinda freaked me out. if the test turns out negative though i'll definitely go to my doctor and ask about the PCOS.

this is all new to me so every little detail makes me worried. my mind's set on it could be pregnancy cuz if i'm not then something could be wrong with me so pregnancy's easier to think about; it's still scary but at least i'd know what's going on with body. but thank you so so much about telling me the other things cuz now i'm thinking more about different possibilities. thanks for all your help.(: i'll let you know what the test says this weekend.

Have you taken a pregnancy test to see what it says?
If the last time you had sex was 2-3 months ago then you would be about 2-3 months pregnant, and you wouldn't have continued to have a monthly period since then. You might have had strange lighter vaginal bleeding, but not a period like flow. I think it's unlikely you're pregnant. You're only 15 and so your body is still regulating and going through puberty so irregular periods are to be expected at that age. The things your feeling can just be down to PMS and these are very similar to the symptoms of pregnancy. Maybe ask your doctor to look into whether you have PCOS (poly cystic ovary syndrome) as that can cause the irregularities in a period that you descibe as well.

Like I've said, I don't think you're pregnant otherwise you wouldn't have continued to get your period every month like you have - but just to rule it out (because a doctor will always make you do this when you go see them) I would take a test just to make sure.
