Well this is my first post on here I'm 15 and have been sleeping with my bf (16) for about 3 months. We always use condoms ect, but I'm starting to worry I'm preggers lets face it there's no foolproof contraceptrive is there?
I've been doing my research and I seem to have quite a few of the symptoms described and even before that, I know there's something different with my body if you know what I mean.
I've been feeling nauseous all week, although I haven't thrown up at all. Certain smells seem to trigger it and I've been particularly averted to specific foods as well. I've had headaches, which I don't usually get, on and off for days. I've also had back ache, a runny nose, chapped lips, sore throat (I read that many people experienced flu like symptoms in the early stages of pregnancy) and I'm not totally sure but I swear I've had way more discharge than usual and I rarely get any. My breasts are slightly tender, I've had a strange taste in my mouth and have been over emotional. I'm exhausted all of the time and can sleep at any time of the day but as soon as it gets to night time I'm wide awake and can't sleep. I've been peeing like a mad woman (which doesn't make sense as I swear that it only happens when your like REALLY pregnant). I've had mouth ulcers aswell which I read sometimes happens and my gums have been sensitive and bleeding when I brush my teeth.
However I've not yet missed my period, I'm due on now really (I'm always really regular). But no show yet (my last was April 4th and I'm due May 2nd) and I think I may have slightly spotted but it was just like three little droplets of pale blood - although the discharge occasionally looked pinky a few days ago. We always use condoms but lets face it no contraception is fool proof. I'm getting kinda worried now. I know you can't diagnose me and I'd need to do a test, but before I freak, do these symptoms sound familiar to any of you mothers on here?? Am I over reacting??
Also if I am pregnant when should I tell my boyfriend?? Please help I'm scared, thank you x x x x x x
Honestly most of those sound like you may just be ill, but of course theres a possibility you could be pregnant. Take a HPT and you should tell your boyfriend as soon as you know anything.
I think taking the pregnancy test is a good idea, but about what to tell your boyfriend - just tell him the truth. If you guys are close enough to have sex, you should be close enough to talk about something this important.
Can I ask, if you were pregnant, what would you do?

I'm really not entirely sure yet - I would need to find out the result of the test first. But raising a child is out of the question for me, I'm predicted straight A's and need to go to university. How can I support a child at this age? xx
How fucking dare you go and have sex when you don't even plan on keeping the child?! How fucking selfish is that? are you kidding me? You better at least bring it to term and put it up for adoption. Seriously..

I never said I'd abort - I'm completely against that. But people make mistakes. And I tried my damned hardest not to make that certain mistake, I've never had unprotected sex in my life. Christ I'm not sure I'm even pregnant yet. I just wondered if anyone had any similar symptoms when they were pregnant and when to take a test. Sorry to offend. x
So if you're pregnant you're not going to abort it?
