Hello. Please help me. I think I could be pregnant. My methods of contraception are condoms and checking for fertility signs in my CM. I have been sexually active for about one year and eight months.
My period was due three days ago but it hasn't arrived. My breasts always get sore around 3-5 days before AF but they aren't now. I have fairly regular 28-to-31-day cycles and my periods only ever skipped a month once. My breasts didn't get sore then, too.
Is there anyone here that normally has sore breasts every time AF is impending like I do, and then missed a period, didn't have sore breasts, and turned out to be pregnant?
I just need someone to talk to. I am 18 years old and in my third of four years in university. My boyfriend will graduate a year after I do and immediately migrate to another country to work. We can't afford a baby because it's years before we earn money of our own. My sister recently had a baby and I can't have my parents help both of us at a time when things are just looking bright for them financially (as I am their last child and they're down to their last two years of paying tuition).
I live in a country where abortion is illegal. And should I turn out to be pregnant, I cannot bring myself to put up my baby for adoption. Furthermore, teenage/premarital pregnancy is a cause of social stigma where I live. It will be a disappointment and a shame to both my and my boyfriend's family.
Please help me. I can't stop worrying and it gets more and more depressing as time passes. I want to feel better.
PS I took an HPT yesterday and it turned out negative. But my boyfriend thinks we can't rely on it because it was too early to test.
I am also having this symptoms and stress/fear. You're not alone :(
