Teen Pregnancy Support Group

I am completely terrified.

My boyfriend and I have been together for just under a year now, and I couldnt be happier with him. We both fell in love rather quickly, and we plan on moving in together in a few more months. The problem is, im only 18, young love takes enough work to keep strong, especialy when two young people live together, without bringing children into the picture.

...And, im not sure, but I think i may be pregnant.

I may just be freaking out for nothing, because he and I are very responsible when it comes to sex. Also I was a little later than usual last month, I've been stressed and this has been a shorter month. But I just cant help freaking out. I dont have the best memory (i used to box) but i think its been about 5 weeks since my last period.

I know i must seem silly, but he and I have so much to loose if it turns out i am pregnant. I want to go to culinary school, i want to travel, have a beautiful wedding and get a house, have my fun befor i settle down and have children. He's in school and just got a new, really efficent talent agent for his band. He and I care very much for eachother, but everyone knows that young love is hard, and Im sure everyone also knows that it almost never survives when you add in a baby.

My love for my man, his love for me and my dreams of becoming a Sue chef are the most important things to me right now, and im terrified of loosing everything. Not to mention what my mother would do to me if she found out.

I plan on sneaking over to the drug store for a pregnancy test soon, but I dont know if I should wait a little longer, or even if I can. I just dont know what to do.

Hi my name is Amber I'm 21 and have 9 month old little girl. Hun I would just say take a test before you freak out.

I agree, don't psyche yourself out just yet. All these what if's are things you have to deal with if you are. And when you're not here was your close call to appreciate what you have. Wait until you believe you're a week late to get an accurate test,

Hey First thing first, is take a test. If it's been 5 weeks, a test will come out positive if you're pregnant. On the bright side, thanks to laws and technology these days you don't have to lose everything if you get pregnant. Especially early on, you have many options. What BC were you using?

You were all right, and I know. I took the test today and Im not pregnant, thank goddess. I thought I would feel a bit silly, but i really looked at the calender and 35 days without a period isn't exactly normal. I dont know what's up with me, but im really glad im not pregnant.

As far as BC, im not on any, which is why i was scared. We always use condoms, but i dont have any money, Im paying for college on my own and such.

My friend skipped her period once, she also thought she was pregnant. It turned out her hormone levels were just off. Going on a birth control pill could help give you a regular period and prevent pregnancy, if you want to talk to Planned Parenthood they can help you.

definitely go to planned parenthood and get the pill. they won't charge you if you have no income so you don't have to worry about that. condoms are not always effective. nothing is 100% but you have so much to work towards before you have a baby, be as careful as you can be (:

my name is Lyssa and im 18 and 35 weeks pregnant with a little girl.

you said you were more stressed than usual which may be a cause. i actually had that happen to me a couple times last year. lots of things start building up and it affects your whole body. i think i was like 3 weeks late and it was all due to stress. (high school, EMT school, and work my life was so hectic then)i would take a day once a month ( maybe twice) to jsut relax. find something relaxing to do. and lol congrats on not being preg.
