I am 19 years old, a sophomore in college, and think I'm pregnant. My period is usually pretty irregular, but it's been about 2 months since I've had a period. At first I didn't think anything of it, because like I said, it is irregular, but lately, my boyfriend and I have started to get worried. He is 24, graduated, and has a full-time job as an electrical engineer, so I know that I would be well supported. We've been dating for 8 months, and have had some unprotected sex before realizing, hey, we should use a condom. But we didn't do it much, so I thought the chances were slim. Besides, we had lots of unportected sex before without using a condom at all, so I thought how could it happen this time. Lately, I have been thinking about how much I love him and that I could marry him, but I'm just definitely not ready for any baby. Although, I am still kind of clueless as to what all I want to do with my life, this would definitely change things. I'm soo scared and don't know what to do. I did take a pregnancy test, and it showed up negative, so I was relieved, it's about a week later, and still no period. I feel like I'm starting to have symptoms such as tender breasts and eating more, but those could be the cause of lots of things. I just keep thinking that my period is coming soon.
I am like most of the people you never expect this to happen to though. I am a \"good girl\". I am a good student, very involved in high school, work at a church camp over the summer, and would like to think I am a person of strong faith and so is my boyfriend, but we slipped. Isn't that all apart of being human? I am sooooo worried that I am pregnant. I mean I love kids and do want them evenutally but now, I don't even know what I would do if someone handed me a baby. I don't think I'm ready to be a mom, and am the most scared about what my parents, siblings, church camp friends, etc, will think.
Anyone have any advice? Any help, even any similar stories would be great. I'm scared to death and can't think about anything else right now. Please help!!!

I just went through the same thing. MY periods been really irregular latly. But i've been pretty good at guessing when i'm going to get. I always get it a couple days before i think i will. This month i guessed that i would get this past sunday. Sunday came and nothing. I really didn't think anything of it. By tuesday i started to worry. I took a pregnancy test. It was negative. So buy wednesday i called a local clinic and asked to see a doctor because i thought somehting was wrong with me. They told me i needed to come in for a pregnancy test first. I went in wednesday morning. They gave me a test and it was negative. and what do you know an hour after i left i spotted a little and by thursday morning i got my period.
So just relax and go see a doctor if you don't get it soon.

My father seems to think I am pregnant and hiding it (I might be but I am not sure). I was raised christian and I started thinking about what I would do if I was but I talked to my step-mom the other day and she told me something that made feel better. She told me that we are not God, as humans we see things from a fleshly point of view rather than see all the good that could come of it or see how God could use the situation for his glory. If you are pregnant know that NO child is an accident, if you are then it was meant to be. The child was meant to be born at this specific time for a specific purpose and only you and your boyfriend had the correct DNA to make this exact child. There is no situation God cannot use, your child may be you and your boyfriend's path back to God. Good luck! I hope my rambling helped you at least a little.

This was a very good reply. I agree with everything you said.

hey girl i feel you.
you are so lucky because you are in colledge, it like i'm going trough the same thing with you. but don't worry if you pray anything is possible because jesus love all his children i will pray for you too.

I am 19 also. I have a two year old son. his name is paul. i can tell you i know how you feel. i was only two weeks past my period. all i did was worry about it. i finally told someone i could trust. i felt better. i then took a test. as you know i was pregnant. i was not ready either but i faced my fears and i am very happy with my decision . I was scared to tell my parents too. but they are your parents, they love you no matter what. Your church friends will except this . Being a person of faith is to forgive and not judge. a true person of faith will do just that. i hope it works out for you but just know that you can do it because i did and it turned out just fine. GOOD LUCK
