Hi im 15 and i think i might be pregnant the last time i had sex was early september and i had a period since then but it was kind of weird. A little over a week after my period i started spotting and my bras are leaving marks on me i know its possible that my breasts are just growing but they havent grown in like a year and it was all of a sudden. Ive been feeling kind of natious lately and get tired all of a sudden and ive been getting mad really fast. I know the likelyhood of me being pregnant is slim but theres a possibility id buy a test but im tapped for cash so i was wondering if anyone knows if the school nurse can get you a test or not? Thanks for all replies in advance :)

RedAthena agony auntGo to the school nurse and ask. It would depend on your school district and availbility.

Look up in the yellow pages for a clinic called PLANNED PARENTHOOD that offers testing on a sliding fee scale.

So_Very_Confused agony auntI do not think the school nurse can or will give you a pregnancy test but a local Planned Parenthood would.

Sweety Pie agony auntIt sounds unlikely that your pregnant :-) I don't think your school nurse will stock them. Mine didn't at high school, but at college they ran a clinic on Fridays which did.

There is most likely a sexual health clinic in your closest city which will give you a test for free (along with any type of contraception) until your 25, so check that out.

Also, test's arn't that expensive if you go for an unbranded one. In boots they are around £4.50 and I actually saw 2 for £1 in Poundland, I think its worth it to keep your mind at ease :)

Good luck!

natasia agony auntCan you not just go to the doctors? That will be confidential. Also, it might be other things that are making you feel this way.

It is possible, yes, to have a strange sort of short/light period and be pregnant. In what way was the period weird?

Anyhow, as someone said, pregnancy tests can be very cheap, especially if you get the store brand ones. That is your easiest, quickest and simplest way to find out.

person12345 agony auntIf you've had your period since you had sex, the chances of you being pregnant are INCREDIBLY unlikely. What is highly likely? You're going through puberty causing your breasts to grow and mood swings. Breasts will continue to grow into your 20's, in random phases, sometimes with years of not growing in between. And adolescent hormones will give you mood swings like none other.

If you're worried, take a test to put your mind at ease. They are only $10, sometimes on sale for less. I wouldn't go through your school, they will be required to report it since you're underage and you cannot legally consent to sex.
