Sorry you're having to deal with this. Firstly go and buy a test and find out for sure. Secondly think long and hard about what you want to do. Remember babies are hard work, sleepless nights and you are still very young yourself.

If you don't want to tell your parents, do you have an adult friend (aunt,teacher) you can confide in. You don't have to go through this alone remember that.

Sending you > from the USA.

Laura, are your parents the understanding types?

First things first is the obvious really... go and buy a test. Try and test first thing in the morning, with your first morning wee. You can get it done free at your GP, and I think some chemists (I had one free at a chemist) - just take a pot full of your early morning wee (pot you can pick up at GP reception). How late are you? I know at 15 my periods were all over the place and I had similar symptoms alot due to hormones. Is there a chance you could be ie. unprotected sex? Don't worrry {{hugs}} this place is great for advice xxx

Hi Laura, Is there someone you can talk too? Get a test done. I remember my friend worrying so much that she was pregnant that her periods stopped altogether. Are you in the UK? Tescos do very cheap pregnancy tests.

Have you had unprotected sex? And, if so, Why??? But you aren't going to know anything for certain unless you do a test. It's best to do this as early as possible because then you have more time to decide what you want to do. If you wait to find out until it is really obvious, your options are reduced.

You can pick up pregnancy tests in supermarkets - if you go to Tesco or Sainsburys where they have the self-service tills, you don't have to worry about anyone else knowing you have bought one.

Remember that, at 15, your hormones are raging (hence why you had sex in the first place I presume!) and can have very weird effects on your body. It doesn't necessarily mean that you are pregnant.

According to your previous thread laura you wanted a baby and have been pg before? here

I'm a bit confused now - did you want this or not? either way, you sound very young and mixed up tbh..

Laura my friend got pregnant at 15 and kept the baby, its not the end of the world, but she did stay with the father and has now been married for 25 years. However you sound very mixed up and I would seriously think about what you are doing.

My daughter is 15. She will be going on a Duke of Edinburgh walk over the weekend with members of her air cadet group. She is really looking forward to sleeping overnight in a tent, doing an 18km walk, cooking food with her friends. She goes to Guide rangers, dancing, drama, singing, guitar lessons, and air cadets every week. When she's not doing that, she goes to concerts to watch and dance to local bands. She takes part in the school productions, attending rehearsals in her own time and still finds time to do her homework. She enjoys meeting up with her friends (boys and girls) at the weekend where they go shopping or have a McDonald's, or go swimming or hang round at each other's houses.

This is what you should be doing, not thinking about having a baby. My daughter has just looked incredulous when I read out your OP to her - she said "baby? you've got to be joking, I'm having too much fun". So should you.

dippy- I don't think your post was at all helpful- it sounded more in the spirit of "my daughters better than you because..." and that won't help anyone.

Laura- you have some detective work to do first so take a test- do you have access to money to get one - near me you can get them from the poundshop. Early morning wee- if you can't get to the drs for a specimen jar see if you can get hold of an empty jam jar and clean it out well with boiling water.
After the test you have some thinking to do about the priorities in your life- what is more important to your future- career prospects, feelings about the potential father, and you may need to re examine your relationship with your own parents whatever the outcome of the test.
Good luck and keep us posted.

Dippy- yes that is what she SHOULD be doing, but if she is pregnant, then thats what needs to be dealt with.
I got pregnant at 15, and had DS at 16.

Firstly do a test, sounds obvious but you may be fretting for nothing, do you have a youth advisory clinic near you? They can advise you and do the test, and give you help with whatever the outcome maybe.

If you are pregnant, you will need to tell your parents, they will understanably be upset, but probably more FOR you than AT you, if you know what i mean?

I think you need to talk to someone impartial when it comes to what you are going to do, again a youth advisory can help with this.

Whatever choice you make will effect you, keeping the baby, obviously life will change, and your choices for the future will always have to be made around your child.
Termination can have a lasting effect too, be very very sure before taking this option.

Its not the end of the world and with good help and advice you will come through this, I did!xx

I apologise if my post wasn't helpful, I didn't mean to imply that my daughter's better in any way, just trying to illustrate that at 15 children should be doing things that they are interested in and living their lives to the full, not wanting to have babies. I find it sad that so many young girls want to go down this avenue. What happened to ambition, careers, contributing to society or don't we as a nation think that important any more?

I am very sorry to hear of your predicament Laura and hope that whatever happens, it is the right decision for you, but I did read your earlier thread as highlighted by elesbells and tbh you do sound very mixed up and still grieving/depressed from an earlier termination. You've been here before haven't you?

Thanks for all your help..
I took a test and found out that im not pregnant. Which is a big relief.

Again thanks for all the great advice
