Question
I'm 15 and i think I'm pregnant. I'm 4 days late on my period and I've been having A lot of the same symptoms as regency symptoms, like fatigue, food craving, and tenderness in my breasts. I've been under a lot of stress too. I've taken some online test and they say that i am pregnant or that it could be from the stress. my boyfriend and i did it about 3 and a half weeks ago. so do you think I'm pregnant? if you think i am do you think i should go see a doctor? the only problem with that is, is that i don't know how i would get there without my mom finding out. or then again maybe I'm just over reacting i don't know lol. but if you could give me your opinion i would really appreciate it.

           thanks,

Answer
Dear graceanne,

It sounds like you very well could be pregnant.  Did you use any method of birth control when you had sex?

The first thing you should do is buy a home pregnancy test at any drugstore.  Follow the directions carefully.  The results are usually very accurate.

Write back when you get the results.

Best wishes,

Deb
