Jackson1 - I know how you feel. I had my 1st child at 20. I had no idea I was pregnant & found out during my annual. They did a urine test & it was pos. I think I was about 8 weeks along at that time. I can't remember if I was late or not though! It's been 10 years ago! If you've been having unprotected sex there's always a possibility. However, it's probably more likely that you miscalculated your period or ovulated late. Also take note if you've been under added stress this cycle prior to being late. Here is what I would suggest:
1. If your period doesn't show up in the next week, go to your local clinic & have an annual. Also request a blood test at that time. There should be a community health action agency that will provide this service for free.
2. Try to relax...I know it's cliche but it's true. The hpt's are probably right.
3. From this point forward do not have unprotected sex. If you're not ready for a child, don't put yourself in that position. It's not fair to your b/f, the child & definitely yourself. Condoms aren't expensive & charting your cycle is free. Go to fertility friend & it'll give you all the info you need to learn about your cycle. When you're most fertile & when you're not. Plan having sex around your least fertile times. Use condoms as a backup.
Keep us posted...everything will be fine.
