1 month late for my period, bad headaches, nausea, and back

Hi TTJustine,
While pregnancy usually requires full penetration and ejaculation,the sexual activity you describe is a bit of a grey area conception-wise from the limited info you've told us..Semen that is in direct contact with your vagina is definitely not what I would describe as safe sex,although how deeply the semen has been deposited inside you is a bit hard to deduce from your letter.Stress can definitely interrupt your menstrual cycle,but from the scenario you described,added with your symptoms & the fact that you did not use any contraception suggests to me that pregnancy is definite possibility.Home pregnancy kits are easily available from pharmacies,although I would follow this up with a pregnancy test with a doctor you feel comfortable with ASAP.The sooner you know the answer,the sooner you can explore your options.I would ask the Experts here or your local hospital or GP for the contact details of honest,capable counsellors in your home state.I do not know what the laws are where u live,but I understand not all states allow their counsellors to advise you of ALL your options.(Adoption,motherhood,abortion etc) & some are funded by religious or political groups reticent to inform you of all your legal choices.Whatever your decision,find a counseller that will support you in making the right choice for YOU,& if you need to move interstate to make that choice,then do so.If they bully you towards ANY one choice,resist & seek out an adviser who will assist you in carrying out YOUR choice,whatever that may be.
Even if the tests prove negative, & u aren't pregnant,please be prepared next time you are that intimate and ALWAYS practise safe sex AND contraception.NEVER have unprotected sex again.Apart from pregnancy,intimacy of this kind leaves you vulnerable to HIV and other venereal diseases,so a condom is a must.A doctor can advise you of which contraception method is right for you.Although the Pill is the most common & highly effective method of birth control,it is not suitable for everyone. These days there are many forms of contraception(patches,injections,myriad others) that your local GP can advise you of.
Before you have sex again,seek out your local library,gynecologist,doctor, or family planning clinic and educate yourself as much as possible on your reproductive health, what your rights are under your constitution over that health,and your right to access medical and counselling services in your area.Remember:information is power!You owe it to yourself to find out how to look after yourself and your body.Bringing a life into the world is the most important responsibility in the world.You need to ask what is the best decision for you and your baby if you are faced with that responsibility.
Be kind to yourself,and Good luck.And if any guy wants to coerce you to have sex without a condom,tell him to f$%^ off-but not with you.

Hi,

series of my last periods dates - 20 Aug, 22 july, 16 June, 15 may night, 16 april, 18 march, 15 feb, 19 jan.

I had sex with my boyfriend twice last month. Say (19th sept) and about a week and a half before 19th sept. We had unprotected sex the 1st half when we started off and when he was totally high he wore a condom and continued but before he ejaculated he withdrew his penis (with the condom on) - (withdrawal process). I got my last periods on 20th Aug and my periods usually come in time between 16 to 22nd of every month as shown above, but this month i missed it. :-( I took a home pregnancy test on 30 sept morning and evening both proved negitive. I also took the same test on 1st Oct morning as soon as i got up, but that too proved negitive. I am not sure if the test is showing wrong or am i pregnent ?? I have not yet got my periods, and i do have alot of food cravings.. and i have been eating alot of papaya and sesamen seeds for my periods to come fast but its not coming... I do feel like going to the toilet every time i am done with eating.. I not sure if these are the symtoms of pregnency.. I do feel ver lazy too. I did also have a lot of stress and deadline to be met at work this month and i have worked late nights for the same... worked like 12 to 16 hrs a day... I am not sure what to do now ? I do feel like i am getting my periods but then i do not get it.. I do have alot of white thick liquid comming out but not my periods.... could i be pregnent... ??? Please advice what i should do now ??

HELP PLEASE !!

hi i am 14 years old i last came on my period may 14th and i dont know wot to du plzz some one help me xx :O :'(

Ok. I have been sexually active for two years. I am now fifteen. and i ALWAYS worry that i may get pregnant. But this is proven fact. If you THINK that you are pregnant then you will most likely SOMETIMES not have your period. The female body is OBSESSED with getting pregnant. So if you train your mind to think you are pregnant. Than you wont have your period. This doesnt ALWAYS happen. But a friend of mine thought she was and for two months she didnt have her period then they took a pregnancy test and it came negative and she was relieved then she had her period. so make sure u dont freak out. :-)

Seriously, all of you need to go back to school and stop messing around. There are more important things out there than boys and sex. In fact, if you really are under the age of 18 and these responses aren't pranks, then you and your boyfriend could probably be arrested for child molestation. So, knock it off and go get a life. Do you really want to raise a child before you have a chance to live or have the atrocity of an abortion to think about for the rest of your lives? Is sex really worth all that? NO. This doesn't include the diseases you may catch or the permanent damage you could be doing to your body if you do get an STD or have a child or an abortion. You could be setting yourself up for future failure when you're ready to have kids. So THINK before you and your boyfriend do it next time. Is it worth it?

What? "Go back to school and stop messing around." You really don't have the right to judge anyone on here. Everybody on here is human, and we are sexual beings. Things happen and people have sex and there is nothing wrong with that. I think that most of you that have taken test and they came out negative could have two reasons why it's negative. Number 1, if you take the test too early then it will come out negative. Number 2, You really aren't pregnant. It's actually pretty common to be late on your period and not be pregnant. It's due to stress. Stress is the number one reason why you don't have your period on time. Stress prohibits essential hormones that allow your body to have it's period. You could have a hormone imbalance, a thyroid problem. There are tons of other reasons why you're period is late. So instead of stressing yourself out even more, just relax and see your OB/GYN and find out for sure. I know what you all are going through. I have went two months without my period and me and my boyfriend do the "pull out" method also, I wasn't pregnant, it was just stress induced from home/work and college life. Unless you get a positive result from a pregnancy test, chances are that you aren't pregnant.

hi im 15 years old...im sexually active and have been on birth control for only 2 months...i am 2 weeks late...i have been having bad stomach aches, horrible mood swings, migrans, morning sickness, and discharge from my vagina...whats wrong with me...please help!

see, it's giving people excuses that like that make them that way in the first place. 'oh, it's ok you'll just contract a disease or have an abortion' and give them an excuse and a way out. while yes, i agree that people should stay out of bedrooms, the police don't and these days kids get arrested for this kind of thing. my information was a warning to those who don't want to contract a disease or get arrested or actually take the life of an innocent human being who can't speak for itself.

SOMEONE needs to talk some sense into these promiscuous children before it's too late. people like you don't. you give them excuses. make them think it's ok to do and they can just wipe out all the diseases, babies, and emotions with a pill. well, you can't. instead of teaching kids how to put a condom on a banana teach them what happens when their bodies rot from an STD or they die of AIDs. teach them what it's like to raise a kid for the rest of their lives or deal with the emotional stress of an abortion. teach the boys what it's like to pay child support for the next 18 years of their lives. maybe then kids will stop screwing around.
