I'm only 16 but I've heard of this site and thought it would be a good place to ask.

Had sex for the first time on 20th January. Was my first time and haven't had sex since either. We did it for a few seconds several times but then he put a condom on and we did it properly. I've heard you can get pregnant from what we did before. I was also spending time with him the night before and was very drunk and I think there's a possibility we had sex that night which I can't remember. I remember us kissing and touching each other but then passed out. I don't mean this to sound accusing of him but I may have woken up and stuff happened? I don't want to ask him, but if it did happen I don't know if it was protected or not.

I panicked afterwards and took a pregnancy test a week after to put my mind at rest. It was one that said it worked before a missed period and it came up negative but I read online that it was still too early for it to be accurate. However soon after I got my period so figured I was out of the woods. I've had monthly periods since and am due a period in a few days. However my mum (she doesn't know any of this) once told me that her and 2 of her sister's all had periods throughout their first trimesters. I look it up and it's called decidual bleeding? What's making me suspect is that I've felt very off the past few weeks. I've been needing to go to sleep at 7pmish and will sleep until 10 the next day. My skin has been hideous and I've been gaining weight. About 1 stone since I had sex. I haven't been eating more than usal. I saw this thing online that was like a stomach exam to feel is there is a baby there at 12 weeks and I think I feel something but I might be paranoid?

Can somone with experience please help? Don't want to buy another test just randomly yet.

Sweetheart, there is no point in getting yourself worked up until you know if you are or not :) if you're not, you've had bit of a scare and thats that, if you are your mum is the best person to talk to or the doctor to talk about your options, pregnancy is not the end of the world, if you are and you do choose to keep it, you're just doing things a bit backwards thats all

You’re not a massive idiot, you have reasons to wonder if you could be pregnant. It’s natural to be worried. But do talk to your mum if she’s someone you can talk to. And/or talk to your GP. Whatever result you get, you need some support.

If its negative you are not an idiot at all.

I'm 34 and I took a test a few weeks ago even though my husband has had a vascetomy and can't have kids! We all panic at times.

You'll be OK xx

You're not an idiot, just take the rest. You're not going to stop worrying until you do x

Honestly just take it and get it over with. At least then you know what your dealing with. Flowers

Whatever the outcome you need to know. Going into denial will not change the result. Once you know for sure you can take control of the situation and work out what to do. It will be ok.

Belle89 · 22/04/2019 21:00

Take the test then decide where to go from there. It may just put your mind at ease and you can be more careful in the future

How did you get on, OP?
