Am I pregnant?

Hi everyone. I have a concern.

I am almost 2 months delayed. My last regular period was 3rd week of April. My cycle is every 26 days, and it is quite regular, for my November-December cycle last year which got delayed for about 4 weeks.

Last month, May 27, I had light bleeding for one day. The blood was red and fresh. After that, I did not experience any bleeding anymore. I used 3 different pregnancy testers, at different times of the day, and the results were all negative. I have been gaining weight for the past months, even before my menstruation got delayed. Aside from the delayed period and the weight gain plus the "possible spotting," I do not feel any other signs of pregnancy.

My boyfriend and I are both sexually active and we do not really use artificial contraceptives. We follow the withdrawal and rhythm method, meaning we only have intercourse during my infertile days and he never really ejaculates inside me. Although I know that these methods are not really 100% effective.

Anyway, lately my lifestyle has changed. I always stay up late at night, get stressed, because I got some online job. I've read that stress can also cause delayed periods but well... I do not know.

My parents are getting suspicious and they do not approve of my relationship with my boyfriend so I really need some advice. Going to the doctor is out of the question because I'm kind of underage and the OB will probably just sell me to my parents.

You don't really have too many options. You and your partner made the choice to have sex, and to have unprotected sex knowing what would eventually happen. You can't just wait and see how things work out, because if you're pregnant you need to be getting prenatal care.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, there is no clinic like that in here. I live in a Christian community and people who have "premarital sex" are always frowned upon. Plus, I've already done 4 tests. Just tested again this morning. Still negative.

There should be some sort of clinic in your area that helps teenage girls. Do some research I'm sure you find one... I would advise that you buy a pregnancy test first and foremost. If you don't find a clinic for teenage girls in your area, you're going to have to own up and tell your parents. If you are pregnant you need the proper prenatal care for the health of yourself as well as your unborn child. Good luck!

you can go to several places to get a free pregnancy confirmation a blood test is better than a urine test they don't usually do one of those but they will give you a ultrasound so you'll know for sure and it doesn't matter how old you are
