okay so, ill cut this simple. I am still in highschool. I have no way to get a pregnancy test and don't want to talk to my foster parents unless im like 95% positive I am pregnant. I did the deed a little more than 2 months ago, in october. I didn't get my "period" till late november. Normally my periods last around 8 days and are super heavy. This was super light and only lasted barely 3 days. My stumache has started getting bigger and im not one who gains weight really. I threw up the other day at work, don't know why. Ive been feeling nausous and have been using the restroom more frequently, tho I drink the same amount I always do. My appatite has grown and i tried to eat my favorite food the other day but it made me feel like throwing up as soon as I smelled it. I have a picture of my stomach i will attach. I'm hoping some mothers out there can help me please, thank you

Nobody on here can answer this. Is there an adult you trust who you can ask for help? A teacher?

Nobody can tell from a picture. You really need a pregnancy test. Can you access a sexual health clinic or school nurse for help with this?

Do you know the date your last period started (the last proper one)?
Do you know the date you had sex?
From what you have said you would presumably still be in the first trimester and therefore a bump would be unlikely, although bloating would be expected so that could explain the appearance of your stomach.
The nausea, vomiting and food aversions definitely do sound suspicious...!
Do you never get a chance to pop to a shop where you could buy a test? Or could a friend?
Or do you have a school nurse you can speak to in confidence? Or a friend? Friends mum? There must be someone or some way to get a test. Even maybe the GP?

If you work, could you buy one on the way to work and test there? Dispose of test in the sanitary disposal units afterwards?

Are you in the UK? If so then you can buy pregnancy tests from pound shops and very cheaply from supermarkets. You should also be able to see a nurse through your school or college.

Nobody on here can tell you either way. If you keep missing periods then it’s likely that you are, but it’s obviously not wise to wait too long before getting medical attention.
