Question
Okayy. I'm a Sophomore in High School. We just started school on the 4th of August and things have been great so far. But, I've been flipping out about whether or not I'm.. "prego".
About a month ago, I had sex for the first time with one of my best friends since 7th grade. He wore a condom but it had a bubble in it when he put it on and there was a little bit of cum in it. we didn't have sex long, cuz his dad almost walked in on us. but i remember that after we were done, the bubble was gone. and i was kinda thinking.. maybe it popped. but i think i would have felt that. then i thought maybe with the inward-outward motion going on, the bubble slid to the bottom and the cum might have came out while he was inside of me.. Some "symptoms" I've been having are like.. really bad headaches and I'm hungry like.. ALL OF THE TIME. ((which is weird cuz I'm a really healthy person, who eats only when necessary.)) But the thing that really really different is when i wake up in the morning, i feel soooooo tired. no matter how early i go to sleep the previous night. which is weird because I'm actually a morning person. and I'm ALWAYS happy. also i feel sore and tender all day long, from the moment i wake up to the moment i lay down, everyday. I'm really scared. But if I'm pregnant.. i wanna know. Please help me..?
Answer
Dear Yersie,
I LOVE it that you sent your picture!!! That is too cute!
Anyway about your symptoms, you didn't mention the one most important symptom, and that is a missed period. Has your period been due since you had sex? If it was, did you get it? Or is it late?
If you've had your period since you had sex, then you are not pregnant. If it is late or you missed it completely, you should buy a home pregnancy test at the drugstore. Take it first thing in the morning.
These tests are usually pretty accurate.
If your period isn't due yet, wait for it. If it is late, then take the test I just mentioned. Do not take it until your period is due, because it won't work.
In the future, you should keep a dose of Plan B Emergency Contraception around for times like this.
Best wishes,
Deb
