Question Well, I'm 17 years old and I'm late. The first day of my last period was on April 26 (sometime that week I think#. me and my boyfriend have been having unprotected sex 2-3 times a week, every week, for the past year and a half. Lately now though, my breast have been sore and swollen #the girls are looking big!), headaches, and I'm tired but cant sleep at all. I think I might be pregnant... might. what do you think?
Answer Dear Danielle,
Why would you want to be pregnant? Can you support yourself financially without your parents? If not, then how can you take care of a baby?
I hope you aren't pregnant, because that wouldn't be fair to the future child.
If you think you are pregnant then take a home pregnancy test.
