Im 17, my boyfriend and i have been having sex for about 10 months now. We havnet really used protection, i didnt get pregnant so we thought we were ok until about four months ago when i had a misscarriage at 9 weeks.
My last period was October 17th.
My boyfriend and I had sex on October 22-24 and October 29 and 30.
november 5-14 we have had sex, every now and again, but he's been pulling out. on the 14th we noticed a tiny bit of blood so i thought i got my period but when i went to the bathroom, there was no blood. I had a little cramping up until the 17th, i had very faint cramps and pink discharge when i wiped. (at this point i was 2 days late) the next day there was some blood in the toilet, not enough to be my normal period i dont think. After that there was only blood when i wiped. The next morning i woke up and i went to the bathroom there was blood in the toilet so i put a tampon in, when i took it out it was brownish red and not filled all the way. When i wiped there was pinkish red discharge with a nickel to quarter sized dark red clot. I've had slight cramps, bloating and now lower back pain. When i just used the bathroom there was blood in the toilet again not enough to be my normal period and some on the toilet paper. In addition i've had to pee more frequent. and i have been nauseas the past two days. Once in the morning and once at night. In addition, my boobs were sore and nipples were tender and seem to have swelled about a week ago. and now that has gone away, they have been sort of sore lately but not bad.
So what do you think is going on? Could i be pregnant again, could it be another miscarriage? Or is this probably just my period and symptoms are in my head? ):

I think you have a very good possibility that you are pregnant, I have had those same symptoms, there is pre-cum that can get you pregnant even if he does pull out.
Hi Kimberely1 the only way to find out is for you to take a HPT! Depending on when you ovulated etc, you could JUST be pregnant and it is interfering with your period! So take a test! IF it is negative, this does NOT mean you are out of the woods! It could be just too early to tell! also have either of you been tested for STD/STI's becaues these can mimic pregnancy and give you pain! Also you could ahve a UTI which happens more often when you are sexually active and not using protection! Can I ask why you are trying to get pregnant?
I believe you should take an over the counter pregnancy test, but either way go to your doctor and talk about your symptoms. You need an STD workup and they can do a blood pregnancy test that is more accurate.
Also, please, please start using protection when you have any sort of intercourse, vaginal or anal. It will help prevent infections and also stop you from having any unwanted pregnancies. You have seen that it is very easy to get pregnant if you do not use protection.
Only a condom (male or female-- male condoms are less expensive and often easier to use, but if you prefer a female condom, then by all means go ahead and use that) prevents pregnancy AND STDs. But for protection from ONLY pregnancy, you can take prescription birth control, which must be taken every day by mouth at the same time every day to be effective, or many other types of birth control. Talk to your doctor about your options. One great method is called Depo Provera and is a shot you get once avery three months. You don't have to worry about taking a pill every day, getting refills every month, etc.
If cost is your worry, there are many places to get free condoms or condoms for as little as 10 cents a piece. Also, many prescription birth control pills only cost $10 a month, but there are ways to get it even cheaper. Again, talk to your doctor.
If you don't want to go to the doctor to talk about birth control and STD protection, get some condoms, which don't require a prescription, read the instructions for how to put one on, and use one every time you have sexual intercourse, vaginal or anal. Even missing once can lead to pregnancy or an STD.
Good luck!

I had intercourse with my boyfriend one day ago and I'm wondering if I could be pregnant if I'm on the pill and we used protection? I want to know the percentage.
