writes:hey i need some help urgently and i would really appreciate if someone answered this. okay so im 17 and i had sex a week ago(28th june). i was supposed to get my periods around the 4th to 7th july (my last period was on the 4th june). On the 7th of july i noticed a few spots of blood, and i thought it was my period, but the flow hasnt increased or anything so far so i dont know what is happening. its just spots of blood from time to time. Also ive been feeling constipated and stuffed up for around 4 days now. I tried telling the guy about this and he just kept saying that i couldnt be pregnant cause he didnt finish inside me, and that if i was bleeding it couldnt mean pregnancy and that i'll get my period eventually!! I think he's just being a jerk right now while im so scared!! do you think i could be pregnant?? getting a pregnancy test kit around my area is very difficult and i'm underage so i really need some advice on what to do!

Hi. After taking the pill, it is possible that your periods might take a couple of months to go back to what they were like before you started taking the pill. So I wouldn't be too concerned.
Why don't you go and see your doctor? Are you under age?
The more you stress over this, it could also stop your periods from happening and making them even more irregular.
Stress does some unusual things to the body.
The fact is, you could be actually worrying over nothing.
So with that in mind, why put yourself through all this stress, when it's just not necessary?
The far healthier option here would surely be, to go see your doctor, as soon as possible.
Pregnancy test kits aren't always accurate anyway. Although, some of them now, are a bit more accurate than in the past. Nothing nearly as conclusive as to have it done by a medical doctor. A doctor's test results will be conclusive and reliable - so there's no doubt whatsoever.
Then your mind will be at rest, once and for all.
And then once you have found out you are NOT pregnant, then you need to be careful in future if you do have sex again. Just make sure the guy uses a condom.

kristenx is verified as being by the original poster of the questionHey guysim not really sure how to post a follow up so im posting here.Well so i never really got to taking a pregnancy test because the person who was going to get it for me wanted to use my body after he did me the favour. And i did get what seemed to be a normal period on the 7th of august and i was relieved from all my previous worries. I didnt mention in my earlier question but this all happened when i was taking 'krimson 35' a medicine to help me get my periods on time that a doc had recommended.However after my period in august, i stopped taking the course of tablets. This month i havent got my periods yet. Im not sure if its cause i suddenly stopped taking the medicine or because i actually could be pregnant and last months period could have just been heavy spotting. Ive also been feeling quite uneasy for the past few days. Please reply as soon as possible. Im really confused. I no longer speak to that guy either. And sorry if this is too much info.[Mod note: please contact your doctor for help in diagnosing your symptoms and managing your medical history. DearCupid is not the appropriate venue for this. We cannot tell if you are pregnant, you have to take a test at the appropriate time or have your doctor test for pregnancy. Best wishes to you.]

Relax and wait and see in a few days.

 Don't worry yourself yet. The odds of conception are lowered by his withdrawal method, but not down to zero. YOu are only 17, you will most likely experience changes in period length until your early twenties, especially if you arre skinny/underweight. You need to relax, as stress may cause you to skip your period completely. try to get a test somehow, this happens so often to american users on this forum, things are so much easier in the UK xD

 Additional info:
It sounds like you and bf used the "withdrawl" method?
Yes, you can still get pregnant even IF he did not finish inside.
See a doctor. You need a test and an exam.

 You are going to simply need to see a doctor or get a pregnancy test somehow. Can you either order it online or send an older friend to buy it for you?
Spotting doesn't really mean anything either way. There are lots of reasons that someone's period could be late though. I'm wondering what kind of protection you used?

 just wait for a week I think some period change its cycle from 22,028, and I think 30 days.Sometimes I'm late for a week but its normal.Just make sure you and your bf are doing it safely ok..But usually if you have sex a week before you period there is less possibility of being pregnant.I do that method with my bf but I still suggest safe sex for you since you are still very young.Good Luck

Hi there. At the moment, you are only about 10 days overdue.
Are you usually very regular with your periods?
The only real way to find out and accurately so, is to see your family doctor.
Don't worry, because of privacy laws and doctor patient confidentiality, he can't tell your family if you are or not. Or that you have been there to see him regarding pregnancy.
If you go for another week and still only have the spotting, then go and see your family doctor to have proper testing done. By that time you will be almost 3 weeks overdue with your periods.
You really don't have any other choice but to find out for sure from your doctor.
If you are pregnant, well then you are going to have to make a decision about it anyway. Plus the next 9 months seeing obstetritians.
Blood spotting doesn't mean you ARE NOT pregnant. Nor does it mean that you are.
The wisest thing you could possibly do now, is to see your doctor as soon as possible, tell him all the problems you have been having - constipation, no period but spotting - and see what he says.
Light spotting could be just an irregular period, or maybe your periods haven't become regular as yet. Especially if you only started them for the first time recently.
There could be other reasons other than pregnancy, for spotting but no period. Weight loss is one, an insufficient diet, infection of some kind.
Don't spend any more time worrying about it, just go see your doctor ASAP.
At least then you'll know and it will put you mind at rest.
