writes:I've been dating my boyfriend for about 9 months. I'm 18, and I've had to take one pregnancy test about 4 months ago, and it was negative. Just recently I was talking to my sister-in-law and she asked if I was o.k. because I had been acting different. Normally my periods are about 28 days apart, and I still have two weeks until I'm supposed to start and I'm feeling like it's going to start anytime. I'm just really confused, because I know there's the possibility of being pregnant, and I've looked at many different sites and my symptoms match, but they also match to PMS for me....I need help, is 21 days in between periods too short? Or could I really be pregnant?I'm so confused, and I'm scared about being pregnant. Please help!

JBeelersGirl is verified as being by the original poster of the questionThank you guys for your help. I found out two days ago that I am not pregnant, but I also made a dr.'s appointment because I was PMSing for 1 week and a half, and I've always had an irregular period, and heavy bleeding, to the point that I get sick. So, I guess we'll find out more at the end of next week.
If you guys have any concerns or would like to know what happens, message me, I should have answers for myself by the end of next week. :D
Thank you guys

I know it's different for everybody, but at least for me I didn't really have any pregnancy symptoms until probably a week after I found out I was pregnant. My pregnancy test came back positive a few days after I was supposed to start my period. So I doubt you would have anything really noticeable. The only thing I noticed was being a little more tired than usual (which happens anyway occasionally) and I was having to go to the bathroom a lot more. Like a couple times a night, which wasn't normal. So you'll just have to wait and see if your pregnancy test comes back negative or positive. Just to warn you ahead of time...morning sickness sucks and I didn't have it just in the morning, it was an all day event! Then again, there are some lucky ones who feel fine the whole time. So you just never know!

It's just that when you said you were scared you might be pregnant, I assumed you didn't want to be pregnant. But I suppose that's my own fault for assuming! So, I do apologize. If you're eager about discovering whether or not you're pregnant, stock up on pregnancy tests! You'd be surprised how early they can detect pregnancy. And what would it hurt to take one? Then, if one should come back positive, take another just to be sure, and if the results are positive or unclear, make sure you go to your doctor right away to find out if you really are pregnant. I really hope everything works out for you, and you can always feel free to message me privately if you'd like. Take care!

JBeelersGirl is verified as being by the original poster of the questionRJGirl, thanks for your advice. I realize people may think it's ignorant to practice unsafe sex, but I have talked with my boyfriend, many of times, and sure we've fought and argued about it, but we've come to the decision that, yes we want a child, but we decided not to try for one, just to take it as it comes, kind of thing. I'm just scared because I don't know what's going on with my body and what I'm supposed to do. I don't live with my mom, and I don't really have any kind of mom-figure that I trust to talk to about this, so I feel alone going about this and I just don't know what to do.

If you're having sex and you're worried about becoming pregnant, you need to get on some form of birth control, or practice safe sex methods, like condoms, diaphrams, etc. It's just plain ignorant to be out having unsafe sex, especially if you're not looking to become pregnant. So please, go to your doctor and find out about getting yourself some birth control, or at least go to the drug store and buy yourself some condoms (and make sure you do use them!). Good luck to ya! Stay safe!
