A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I am really afraid that I am pregnant. But then again, I think I might be worrying too much. I had sex for the first time, with my boyfriend who is extremely experienced. We had sex at the end of December, and a couple times at the end of January. I got my period on January 20th. But my period is irregular and comes like every three months. I haven't had any symptoms. But, my stomach has had some weird feelings lately. I cant explain the way it feels. I think I am just really paranoid. We used a condom, so chances are I'm not pregnant. But could I be? My breasts aren't sore, and I never throw up. Help please.

If you used a condom correctly then it is the chances are slim to start with. You also mentioned that you sometimes get your periods every three months. This means that you are probably not ovulating that often (i.e every month on a regular cycle) and you can only get pregnant when you have ovulated.

Agree with the above responses. There's a very small chance that you're actually pregnant.

You probably just felt intimidated by your boyfriend's experience. This made your lack of knowledge of sex all the more ominous and brought to mind the worst.

Talk to your boyfriend about this. On the slight chance you were, it's his baby and concern too. But since you're more likely not, he can use his experience in these matters to be a firm support to you.

And to put your mind at ease, take a pregnancy test. Just so you know one way or the other.

I mean, no matter what people say, contraceptives are never 100% foolproof and you could never say that it is impossible to get pregnant while using a condom. However, it's very unlikely that you are. If he's experienced, then he'll also have experience in the best type of condom to use, what works well, what might make it split.. things like that. So this gives you another reason not to worry. Apparently, when a girl loses her virginity, quite a few just somehow feel pregnant. I felt pregnant when I did, which was really worrying, but I wasn't. I think all your feeling is just natural, and you shouldn't be pregnant. So try to stop worrying honey and I'm sure everything'll be ok, good luck :]

The best way to know for sure is to take a test. And if if your still unsure after that - go to the doctor for some peace of mind.

Not everyone suffer's morning sickness, symtoms differ slightly from person to person....

maddox08 agony auntI agree with happytochat there is a small remote chance that you could be pregnant, but if your man is as experienced as you say you have nothing to worry about. Everyone who has sex the first couple of times are always nervous. So just chill girlfriend and I would go to see the doc about of your irregular crimson.

Well first things first... Go to a drug store or anywhere that you can buy a home pregnancy test. Go with a close friend, you don't have to tell him, b/c he might get worried. But yes, there is a very good chance you could just be very paranoid. The mind has the ability to play tricks on you, I don't think you realize how strong your mind is! You're worried you're pregnant and your mind is starting to believe it as well. You can STILL get pregnant having sex using a condom, they're only so effective. If you're going to continue to have sex, get on birth control! And continue to use condoms... It's always good to have 2 forms of birth control!

Good luck :)

There probably is a small possibility that you could be pregnant. I dont think anyone here can really tell you if you are or not. I think you should go to your doctor, explain that you might be pregnant and tell him/her you are having irregular periods. Even if you arent pregnant, you need to find out what is causing your irregular periods. So go to the doctor and put your mind at rest :)
