Hi Kadynce,

You are very likely pregnant.

TN requires that you have at least one parent give permission for an abortion. You can also get a judicial bypass if you go to court.

Contact Planned Parenthood for more information.

I know I said "very likely" but assuming you tested correctly you ARE pregnant.

Call Planned Parenthood. This is what they do.

Hello. I am a 17 year old teen. And I am not sure if I am pregnant or not. I had sex with an ex boyfriend of mine. And I regret it. He is not the person I plan on having a baby with. And My parents will kill me. We used the pull out method and he said be is sure he did not finish inside of me. But lately he has been begging me to take the day after pill. But it is way to late for that. And he does not understand that. And now I just do not know what to think. I am stressed. And I am scared. But I need help. Because I do not know what exactly to do. I feel like it is too early for a pregnancy test to tell if I am or if I am not pregnant. But lately my stomach just has been feeling werid ever since then. Please help me. I need advice. -- heather

Hi Guest,

You can take a pregnancy test as early as two weeks after you had sex OR if your period is due. Testing early, false negatives are common. If your period is late, wait about 10 days or so and then test.

You MUST use your first morning urine, your wake up pee, to test.

After 3 days the emergency contraceptives are not very effective. Some studies show they can have "reduced" effectiveness up to about 5 days. But, one the egg implants (3-4 days or so) you are pregnant and it won't stop it.

Remind your ex that if he wore a condom neither of you would have to worry. The pull out method is VERY ineffective.

Hang in there and good luck.

But also. If I am not pregnant, my period should start the day after tomorrow. So if it doesn't then test?

If it starts and it is NORMAL, like your others, then it is UNLIKELY that you are pregnant.

If you are 15 and your boyfriend is 21, this is statuary rape and he could go to jail for a very long time. And now you may be pregnant? You need to get away from this guy; he is a predator. If he cared about you, you wouldn't be in this position having to ask for help in a message board.

Hi I'm 18 years old (male) living in Kokomo Indiana and my girlfriend is 17 and will be 18 in April (it's march now) and we think she's pregnant and she's one of the goody goody type of girls so you know we're trying to kwep on the down low.. But we can't tell her parents or mine.. Can I take her to a state that allows minors to get abortitions without parental consent?

Hi Cobra,

Find out if she's pregnant first. Have her take a home test using her first morning urine (wake up pee). If positive then you have some decisions to make.

She's almost 18. You could wait the three weeks.

She's always going to know. Lots of women, and many men, have problems after an abortion.

my boyfriend is 18, and I'm 15. we live in Michigan. I'm pretty sure I'm pregnant. I play sports, so I need to know if he will go to jail if I go to get a judicial bypass. if he will, I'm not going to do it. but neither of us feel comfortable telling our parents. I have been a perfect child, no trouble or anything. and my dad would kill me if he found out. I have home pregnancy tests, but if it turns out positive, I want an abortion.

Hi QueenB,

Bad news for your boyfriend. The age of consent is 16. It is considered rape. You are a minor and can not say "yes" to having sex.

Take the home test.

Good luck.
