Babies don't get put in foster homes for very long. There are hundreds of couples who want a baby, just not many that want older kids.

Juno is not a good basis to make a decision on. It is fiction. It was not a documentary.

And you could have leprosy and cancer and bubonic plague but it still doesn't stop you from using a condom.

Good Luck!! xx

heatherrrrrrr agony auntTaking "the easy way out" as you call it is sometimes the most responsible thing you can do.

Juno is a terrible movie of frilly fantasy and in no way does it resemble real life, what a dreadful suggestion!

This is verified as being by the original poster of the question

I know we made poor decisions but who doesn't? I can't take birth control I am a cancer Patient. Although right now I don't have any tumors the hormones in birth controls can cause tumors to grow therefore my obgyn and my oncologist will not allow me to take it. And I also know how it is to raise babies when you are young.its hard I know that and I don't want that responsibility. My sister got pregnant the first time when she was 16. Not only was that hard but she lived in a foster home s. No one wanted her because they didn't want a baby. So she was moving frequently. Plus my parents had their first baby at 16. They stayed together for about 20 years but they never really cared much about us. So we lived with relatives until my mom died and we went into foster care. So I have already watched juno but I don't have parents like her and if I am pregnant I will not put it up for adoption. I know how it feels to live from foster home to foster home. If I am pregnant I will take care of my baby. I have had a job since I turned 16 last year and it pays good. And my boyfriend will be active army by time the baby comes. I am not snatching anything from my baby including life. Everyone deserves to live. I put myself in this situation I'm not taking the easy way out

Medical questions really need to be answered by medical professionals. You had unprotected sex in the middle of what is likely your fertile period. Now you are showing some early symptoms of pregnancy.

Do a "home pregnancy test", then make an appointment to see a physician regardless of what the test shows. A school counselor, the youth pastor at your church, somebody who volunteers with young people (like an athletic coach or Scout leader), or an older sister or brother will understand your situation, help you find a supportive doctor if you are too embarrassed to see your family doctor, and even go with you to the appointment.

If you are pregnant, you and your baby need medical care. If you are not pregnant, you need some help dealing with contraception and interpersonal relationships.

Your boyfriend did not "accidentally" come inside you any more than you "accidentally" had sex with him. You both made some poor decisions. Being pregnant at 16 is not what most people would choose to be, but it's not something that will ruin your life.

I suggest you watch the movie "Juno". The pregnant teenager in that film discovers her parents are actually quite supportive of her situation as she faces her problems and acts quite admirably. I suspect your parents are also willing to work with you more than you imagine. Please give them the chance to do so.

littlesuziepie  agony auntYou could be on a 5 week cycle rather than a 4 week one. Don't panic. Get another test. Take 2 just to be sure. Your young so maybe your body just isn't really settled into a routine just yet.

How about protected sex? Its no fun to be a young parent and ill tell you from expireance and seeing every one of the girls in my family and my friends that had a baby young. It doesn't work out. The guys may say they love you and its ok they may even try really hard to stick around but its not going to happen. You will end up single and raising the baby 90 percent alone. So please don't trap yourself... ruin your relationship and make your life a constant struggle over one night and a woops sorry darling I came inside you.

Goodness if every man just thought of it like this 5 seconds of pleasure vs a child a life I am responsible for.

Doesn't hardly compare.

Hope your not prego. Be smart please! Use condoms. The pill...something. A baby doesn't desieve to be born into a family that wasn't ready to give it everything it needed that would be very selfish. I watch my daughter long for a relationship with her daddy but we were so young that it didn't work out after 5 years we split and he is off to make his life alone. Poor kid. She hurts because of it. If I only knew then what know now. So please think of it that way next time your having sex. Think of the child that you may rob of some happiness in life because you weren't smart and protected.

Sorry so long and harsh. Hope your not pregnant. And take care. XOXO

I would say take another Test. But also because of the symptoms you have described you might want to go get a checkup, if you can have a parent take you to a gyno or go to a clinic where You can get a checkup.

Remember that sometimes a missed or late period is just that and not a baby.

Good Luck and take care!

heatherrrrrrr agony auntHowever embarrassing it may seem, it's time for a trip to Planned Parenthood. They have free pregnancy testing and it's the most accurate I know of. Whether you are pregnant or not, you should really go up there and find out about cheap birth control. Tons of girls go in there every day for all kinds of reasons so it's really nothing to be afraid of. You are having sex so now you have to be responsible and keep yourself healthy. I had to do the same thing at 16.

dazzleberry agony aunthya there, this does sound like symptoms of pregnancy, regardless of wether you BF ejaculated inside of you a man still ejeculates small amounts during intercourse. take another test and you should get a moe accurate result, should it be possitive you must tell someone you trust preferably a parent or guardian and make a doctors appointment and then decide what you'l will do with regads to the pregnancy. If the test comes out negative you should thank your lucky stars and make sure your more careful next time.

I hope you get the outcome you want, take care and precautions
