person12345 agony auntTake a test. The test won't change anything, either you're pregnant or not. Taking the test won't make you pregnant if you aren't. I know it's scary, but just get it over with. Next time whatever happened that scared you, take the Plan B emergency contraceptive. If you are pregnant, you can always abort.

Honest Answer agony auntYou have some options:

1. Wait 9 months and let nature tell you.

2. Take the pregnancy test. Stress could be the reason why you are late. Not taking the test will only lead to continued anxiety. And if you are pregnany, you need prenatal care so that you can do whats right for the baby.

No mater what, use this as a learning tool. If you are not pregnant, remember to use protection from here on out. The best method is to use a condom and you on birth control pills. If he won't man up and use one, he isn't man enough to be having sex with you.

If you are pregnant. Its not the end of the world. There are many options.

Good Luck!

You were ready to have sex, but not ready to have a child? Lesson learned. Don't ever have sex unless you are ready for the responsibility. Next step: you NEED to take a test! The "problem" will not go away if you try to ignore it! The sooner you know for sure the better! And if you're not pregnant, then at least you know you are sick with something and should get treatment.

Well clearly the first thing you have to do is take a test. If you really are pregnant, avoiding taking the test won't change anything, so you might as well know for sure.

You need a test. It sounds like you could be pregnant to be honest, and you need to take a test now so you have more time to plan everything. The best thing to do is go to your doctor. You live in Britain, so everything is confidential. They will give you a test and they can offer support for telling your partner and parents. But get tested, because you need to adjust for pregnancy and such.
