Im confused.. I don't know what to do

I am a 17 year old female and my parents do not know that I am sexually active. 13 days ago, I had unprotected sex (I know I'm irresponsible for that) and I have a feeling that I might have gotten pregnant. The day before yesterday, I noticed a spot of what looked like blood but a light pink spot. That day, I didn't notice anything other than the brown that I wiped that morning. Yesterday, I also had the same thing, but it also didn't show up for the rest of the day. Today I am bleeding a little more but not enough to use a pad or a light tampon. It's only when I wipe that I notice the pink. Last week my breasts were hurting when I pressed against them, which was rather strange since I always lay on my stomach and they never hurt before. I've actually been sort of exhausted from nothing as well and at night, I frequently awaken to my discomfort and I can not sleep easily due to my discomfort. There are times when I feel really sleepy and a little nauseated but I'm just laying down. My menstrual cycle is not due for another 2 weeks or so. Am I pregnant? Should I wait until the actual time of my period to take a test? Am I just getting stressed and depressed over nothing? Thanks in advance.

Hey.

Well there is a chance you could be pregnant, a high chance, because you had unprotected sex. We've all been there, and hopefully this will teach you to always be careful. Remember the risk of STD's too.

The only thing you can do is take a test, do it in the morning before you've had anything to drink. And then you just need to take it from there, fingers crossed you were lucky.

Did you miss your last period? If not, then do you remember which day of the current cycle it was when you had intercourse? And how long are your cycles normally? You mentioned that your period wasn't expected for a couple more weeks. Usually women ovulate 14 days before their period. But your symptoms are definitely suspect. If I were you, I would do a home pregnancy test as soon as possible. At least then you'll know either way. Hope everything works out ok for you! If you don't want to get pregnant now, you should definitely consider getting on the birth control pill or use other means of contraception.
