i am really scared.

i am 24 years old and think i am pregnant.

my period is generally regular, and its now a few days late (this is VERY rare), and its too coincidental that i have had unprotected sex between my last period and now (for the first time ever). my b/f did pull out before he ejaculated though.

should i worry?

if yes, i still live with my parents and i can't afford to be pregnant. i am really considering having an abortion, if yes, but i wonder if i can do so without having my parents EVER know about it. if they found out, i'd be kicked out for sure...

I'm 21 and my daughter is 15 mths. When i found out I was pregnant I didn't think I was ready either and to make matters worse the father didn't want anything to do with me. However I struggled through a very lonely pregnancy and honestly it's the best thing I ever did. She is such a ray of sunshine and makes everythin worth it. I think if ur mature enough to have sex you should face the consequences especially if u and ur partner are still together. Ur probably a lot stronger than you think, you're just in panic mode right now.

blackroses2989 agony auntWell have you checked if you are pregnant? If you live in the US, you can go to a planned parenthood and they will get you a pregnancy test, if so then you can schedule an abortion. But you need to make sure someone knows you are having an abortion. seriously, they can be dangerous. Fortunately thye typically have good doctors there who know what they are doing, but please make sure someone knows just incase you start bleeding extremely heavily. Anyways first thing is first check to see if ur preg i hope that helps go to plannedparenthood.com to check it out.

Have you even checked you really are pregnant?

I mean what if your period is just going through an Anomoly? It happens.

Get a pregnancy test, and then go to the Doctor to confirm or disprove the results.

Don't abort unless absolutely necessary, and I mean if the medical issues for the child are going to be so bad that it will not be able to survive a good life anyway.

You aren't the only person to not be ready for a child. No one ever really is. But they get through it and learn along the way. No one can be a good parent on their first time out. They learn and then apply that learning.

sarcy24 agony auntIn the UK you can get an abortion at your age without anyone having to find out but I do not know the laws in Trinidad and Tobago. I had an abortion at 27 and I wish I hadn't because I think about it a lot but at the time I didn't think I could cope. Do think really carefully before you make this decision. Anyway this is all very early days so get a pregnancy kit first from a chemist where they don't know your parents and then take it from there. 24 is not that young and you would cope and I am sure after a while your parents would come round but do a test first.
