It sounds like you could be pregnant, the only way to tell is to take a test. You can always go to planned parenthood and get a pregnancy test or talk to your parents. It is scary for you that you can't afford a pregnancy test and you might be having a baby. You must be very frightened. I would advise you to stop having unprotected sex if you are lucky enough to not be pregnant. If you can't afford condoms or birth control you really shouldn't be having sex. ↑

Jenni. Go to planned parenthood. They will test you for free. I don't understand one thing. You deliberately had unprotected sex.. Why? If you can't afford a pregnancy test, then you can't afford a baby. I have a daughter 20, and you can better believe I have made sure she will not be caught off guard. There is so much education out there I just don't understand it. Please get yourself tested because if you are pregnant, you need medical attention. Good Luck Jenni ↑

Well im 16 about to be 17 and i think i might be pregnant to ive had unprotected sex with my bf for the past year (i know its wrong), so your not alone and i proved to you that!!! But hey, if you dont have money, just look for pregnancy center near you, they usually do free test for under 18. So do that!! and do that quick! So you can get prenatal vitamins in your system and you can feel better and protect your baby! Things wont be that bad if your are, just keep your head up!! ↑

You are still a baby. Why are you have unprotected sex. First of all, I think you shouldn't be having sex at that age. There are a lot more to accomplish in life. You need to be able to support yourself b4 you think of having a child. ↑

Ya know? It's real easy to sit around and call people "stupid" and "retarded" and all that, but it is SO immature, people and what does it fix? Honestly?! If she is already in this predicament calling her "stupid" and such won't change the fact that, yes, she made a mistake and if anything it will make her feel worse and stress put upon her is stress put upon that baby, which is NOT healthy. What did the baby ever do to you that it deserves that? It may be frustrating that people so young get themselves into these situations, but guess what? It happens. And calling someone names like that not only brings you down to her maturity level, it probably even makes the situation worse in some cases. Like people who rebel just cause they're told not to do something. Think about it. Besides, isn't this a forum for advice and not bashing? Really, now.. grow up before you tell someone else to do it. ↑

Why are you having unprotected sex? If you don't have money for a pregnancy test do you really think that you can afford a baby. You need to get on some form of B/C ↑

Everyone has already came to the conclusion that Jenni is to young. But she has already done the deed. If you are pregnant Jenni don't listen to the people calling you stupid. You will have a mother that will do that you don't need twenty other people telling you that. What you need is a friend to guide you. First of all you need to look for planned parenthood or for a clinic that does free testing. If you are pregnant they will give you prenatal vitamins. Take them! they will help you a lot. Then you need to work up the guts to tell your parents. Tell your mom first cause she will help with your dad. And by the way it will all work out okay. It usuall does. Good luck sweetie. ↑

Hey Jen im in the same postition as you, i keep feeling nautious and really tired. The best thing to do is get a pregnancy test that is the only way you are going to find out whether you are pregnant or not, I think the hardest part is explaining all of it to your mum, iv already told mine, she was really mad at me but now she's fine. But anyway as everyone says the only way your going to find out is by getting a pregnancy test. oh and by the way dont listen to people calling you names cus they'l only put stress upon you and you don't need that if you are pregnant. ↑
Name: Krystal | Date: Jun 6th, 2005 4:23 PM
Im 16 and think Im pregnant too. I turn 17 in September. My boyfriend and I have unprotected sex but we use the pull out method. I have sore breast, pee alot, am tired, and is very emotional. I think you could be just like me, but the only way to really find out is to take a test. Good luck and I hope everything happens for the better! ↑

It sounds quite likely, i would go and get a test or go to a family planning centre as soon as you can, as time runs out quickly if you plan to terminate. Things such as sore breasts take a while to start, so its better to get sorted quickly before things like this start. At the moment im in a similar situation. Im on the Depo Provera, which ends my periods. Im supposed to go every 12 weeks to have an injection, but i missed my last one by a week, as i got the dates mixed up. In that week that i missed, i was having unprotected sex, which made me worry. I went to have my injection a week after, and was told to go back in 2 weeks time for a pregnancy test. I have now got a week till i have to go, and am worried. It is even harder to tell if im pregnant because i dont have periods, so i cant say ive missed one. I wish you luck in your situation, as im only 16 too, and it can be worrying.

look u are prsgnant the best thing to do is tell your bf first then if he claims its not his tell your mom and she will get you a pregnancy test then she will decide if you should keep it or not cuz your 16 ↑
Name: Tiff | Date: Jun 12th, 2005 8:59 PM
Jenni, DO you have a dollar store near you? dollar tree.dollar general? anything of the sort? they do have test for less then 5 bucks.. You need to tell your mom about it. I know its hard but she will understand ( hopefully ) good luck by the way...teenwire.com is a good place for answers and can help you find a planned parenthood near you.. ↑
Name: Katie | Date: Jun 20th, 2005 1:54 AM
Hey Jenni, Like Tiff said, if you have a doller store go there..you can even go to the grocery store and get one, they arent that expensive. I am in the same situation as you, except I am 15 and I had unprotected sex with my now ex boyfriend and I am 4 weeks late. For all of you out there that say we are stupid for having unprotected sex and saying we are too young, I feel sorry for you. Dont call someone stupid for making a mistake, we are young but we are mature enough and capable enough to take responsibility for our actions. Calling someone stupid isnt going to solve there problems its just going to make them feel worse, sometimes I think we are more mature then adults. If you wanna think about it in the way that we are too young, then your never old enough. you never stop growing up and learning new things, you never stop at one point in your life and have everything remain the same, you and all your surroundings constantly change. I did not try and have a baby nor was it in my mind to ever have one until I was married, but I know my responsibilities and I know I have a hard ship ahead but you know what, I know I wont regret a damn minute of it, you can learn so much from a child. Just because you have a kid doesnt mean you need to drop out of school you can continue your education and work and spend time wiht your child, yeah itll be hard, but youll get through. Good luck to everyone. ↑

I am sorry but I had my son when I was 16 my parents said it would be best for the father and I to get married which wasn't a big deal at the time cause he was my first and only boyfriend I had known him for years anyways....then we went on to have a daughter when i was 21 and I have been a terrific mother I graduated from High School and College and my childern are just fine and I am on my third....just because you are 16 doesn't mean that you are going to be a bad mom...I am not saying it was easy and that I would do it again but don't be so hard and judgemental against people of that age....many years ago that is the age if not younger our own ancestors had childern at that age and still do in other countries....they only good thing about this too is that I am a young mom and can do just as much if not more with my kids then waiting until I am 30 to have a kid....your body is just fine at 16 mine was....I guess I am defending this cause I don't like to hear people say oh you are going to be a bad mom or you can't do it....granted I don't agree with trying to get pregnant at 16 but if it happens which mine did the very first time I had sex then you learn to deal with things as they come....and I had to grow up fast but I love my life and wouldn't have it any other way.....lay off these girls....man it isn't the end of the world...and half of you had sex when you were sixteen so come on lighten up....your not innocent either.... ↑
Name: Finnegan | Date: Jun 22nd, 2005 7:15 PM
Yeah, we had sex...but we didn't deliberately have unprotected sex. I'm glad things worked out for you, but a lot of these girls are not getting pregnant by "accident". ↑
Name: Nikki | Date: Jun 23rd, 2005 10:33 AM
Well then that is one thing...but there are a few on here where the condom accidentally broke....and are truely scared about it...and putting them down isn't going to help anyone I don't think....but there are some that just aren't educated properly about sex and what can happen....I am sorry but the first time I had sex I didn't think you could get pregnant....I know that sounds stupid but that was also along time ago....and you know my mother wasn't really open about talking about sex either it wasn't discussed and so I heard and learned things from my friends....but then again sex ed wasn't like it is today so you are right there really aren't any excuses I guess if you look at it that way....I know here where I live they start talking about sex ed in elementary school....but sometimes I disagree with that too cause then they get curious at a young age I don't know..... ↑
Name: klm | Date: Jun 23rd, 2005 1:37 PM
I am 28 now and over the course of my public schooling I went through sex ed classes 4 times!!! I don't understand why these kids are confused about these things! It was drilled into my head from the 5th grade up. I can't imagine much has changed, I would think the teaching would be more thorough now than it was back then. ↑

I am 16 and will be 17 next month. I am now 16 weeks pregnant. I was on birth control and always used protection. I am totally serious. I was using antibiotics for a while from being sick and i guess my birth control wasn't working when we had a breakage in our protection. I didn't know what to do at first but now i could never be happier. i have all my families support which means so much to me and is really helping me with this. Playing it safe or not.. you can still get pregnant and i could never be happier to know that im having my own little baby..... Not saying its going to be a snap... i know being a teenage mom is going to be a big struggle but this is one mistake im happy to take responsibility for... ↑

lil mami aight my input is ... so your trying to get pregnant aight thats all you so i think that you might be but if you are stressing eitha cuz u want one or u dont it may delay ur period and even make you have some of those feelings so a pregnancy test is like 3 or 4 dollors at the Dollor store ... ask one of your friends for a lil bit of help i say . ↑

You should go and get family planning advice, it sounds as though you could be pregnant and these clinics will test you for free, it is also worth while getting checked out for Sexually Transmitted Infections because your symptoms may be the result of one of these. It's best to get this sorted out before it's too late after all the longer you leave the less choices you can make and if a infection is involved it can harm the baby or your future fertility. Please talk to a professional!! ↑
