xapathyxrebornx agony auntfirst of all it seems your planning too far ahead take a test if you miss a period if your negative learn how to use protection, if your positive then if dont want an abortion yours goign to have to go through with the pregnancy.

to be honest you should have thought about it and if you are face your responabilities. if you feel you cant raise the baby give him or her to someone who can provide a loving home and actually want a child.

message me if you wanna talk x

I would say if it was only last Sunday.. you wouldn't immediately know you were pregnant and a pregnancy test wouldn't necessarily confirm this as it takes well over a week for the fertilised egg to implant in the womb and start producing pregnancy hormones.

Your period may just be late because you are stressed out and worryied about being pregnant - not all menstrual cycles are on time :-)

As for your options if you are pregnant, you really ought to talk this through with your doctor who will refer you to a counsellor to discuss the situation.

You may wish to keep the baby if you receive the right financial/emotional support however, if keeping the baby is definitely not an option ... you could consider having the child adopted as there are lots of people out there who can't have their own child and would be able to give your baby a good home.

If you can't face either of the above, the only other option is abortion and this you will have to consider very carefully as it can be emotionally traumatic.

Speak to the doctor first and I'm sure he will put you in touch with the right channels.

Good luck and hope all goes well for you

Yos agony auntBefore you worry yourself too much, the first thing to do is find out for sure if you are pregnant or not. Go to the chemist and buy two pregnancy test kits. Use them both to be sure.

If you're not pregnant then learn from this and remember to ALWAYS use contraception. It's really important, as you're realizing right now.

But if you are pregnant, then before you decide anything you should talk to the people around you who care about you. The first person should be your mother (unless she's not around or you really really can't talk to her). Your family will need to know, and they can give you advice and support.

Give your boyfriend a smack round the head too while you are at it, this is as much his fault as yours.

Devilish Angel agony auntFirst you have to make sure you're pregnant. Go take a pregancy test. If it's negative, you don't have to worry anymore. If not, the only way you'll get out of a pregnancy is to get an abortion.

Good luck

I know how it feels like to not know and it's pretty scary. Just remember, it's going to be ok no matter how it turns out.
