Possibly pregnant?

Yeah, this have just been odd lately. I've been so moody, happy one sec, depressed another. Anywho, no sign of period still. Still waiting. I appreciate the words of wisdom, and will definitely take them into account if I find out that I am. I'll keep you posted, and although I wouldn't mind. I'd still rather wait 'till I move out of the state that way my parents can't complain. I'm sure they'd help me, but they would never let it down, or trust me ever again...

Hi Starzinmyeyes,
You should do what you think is right. However, bringing a child into the world by yourself can be a great responsibility. Yes, you are right you need to get money and other factors situated well. If I were you and you did learn that you were pregnant, I would get my parents involved. Trust me, parents are never welcome to any changes you decide to make but I have learned through my own experience, that no matter what happens and no matter how many mistakes you make, they love you and are there for you. I do not know your particular situation well enough to judge them but if they are like any other parent, they would want their daughter to be safe and sound.
Its quite natural to feel that you have no control over anything. During the most hardest times, everyone feels like that but trust me, no one can else change your life other than you. If you choose to. But the decision at the end of the day is all yours.

Thanks, I'm thinking of waiting about another week to see what happens. As for sex, well its been quite the continuing process. I'm not really scared about being pregnant exactly, but more of what my parents may think since I am 19 and unmarried. They were never quite welcome of anything I did on my own. I could be on my own, but I'm waiting for my boyfriend to be ready for that step, which will be sometime next year. He'll start college and we'll be moving to a different state. We are saving money now. However, I have lost a job recently and its putting us down in money. I live in Kokomo Indiana so its hard to find a job.

I know I may be living stupidly, and understand the stakes I have been taking,but life has been quite hard for me...and I have almost no self control or control over anything. I am very passive, weak, fragile, and very shy. I dunno I suppose I just don't know how to tell him no.

Anyway, I'd just like to know so I could get money and things situated as well as needing to know if I have to get parents involved or not. Those are my most scariest factors. I'll keep it posted as I figure out what is going on.

StarzInMyEyes,

How long ago did you have unprotected sex? You may need to re-test in a week or so, just to be sure that you're not testing too early. It's difficult to determine when you should be testing if you aren't keeping track of your periods.

Even if you haven't conceived after two years of unprotected sex, please don't assume that you can't get pregnant...especially if you aren't ready for children. Using a condom, taking birth control pills, or other forms of contraceptives will prevent future scares from happening.

Stress, hormonal imbalance, illness, weight loss/gain are all reasons for a late or missed period. So, if you aren't pregnant then one of these could be the reason for your missed period.

All the best,

Rosa

Hi starsinmyeyes,
So far in my mind you have been following the right protocol. You took the home tests, but you have had unprotected sex and that automatically raises higher chances for pregnancy. You should always have protected sex or take contraceptive pills or use a condom. I would say take the doctor!s blood test to be sure that you are not. He or she would be able to give you the right medical advice. As far as conceiving goes, I find that our bodies are unpredictable. It's best to get yourself checked by an Obgyn as soon as you can to make sure. I hope this helps, do keep us updated. Best of luck
