I spotted a week after protected. Am I be pregnant?

I'm 15 and I had sex for the first time exactly a week from now. I woke up this morning and I found little spots of blood on my underwear. I was really scared after the sex for some reason because I'm not sure if we put on the condom right. I'm really scared right now because my period is suppose to be here sometime this week or next week. My last one was January 1st 2009. My period comes usually every 30 days. and right now as I'm typing my lower abdominum hurts when I suck in. I felt like I had pregnancy symptoms the day after sex. I was really tired, I had a headache, and I had a slight fever. I convinced myself it was just the flu since so many people are sick around me. But now that I think of it I'm really really scared. Is it too early to use a pregnancy test? Could I be pregnant?

I want to tell you do not worry but there is always that chance you could be pregnant...Im sure they have taught sex education in school and have told you the only safe way of not getting pregnant is not to have sex. Condoms, Birth control pills, the shot all fail (even people who are "fixed" can still get pregnant) It is normal to have some spotting after first time. Stress can cause you not to have period and aparently you are stressing out about this. If you fear getting pregnant I would suggest waiting until you are ready to have kids since you are a kid yourself and having kids is big responcibility. If your boyfriend loves you he would wait. Do not fall into the trap of having a guy tell you "if you love me you would." Symtoms you had could be anything...might be that you are getting ready to start. If you are pregnant (I hope not) and you do not feel you can talk to your parents, find a teacher, councilor, or someone else who you feel you can talk to. You have a whole life time ahead of you to do grown up things...ENJOY your childhood while you have it. I will keep you in my prayers.
