Pregnant???

[katrine1]

Hi everyone. i'm very nervous, because i think i might be pregnant, but I'm not sure, so i really hope you can help me:

two weeks ago i had sex with my boyfriend. Unfortunately we only use condom (i'm going to start on the pill soon) but after we had sex that day, he told me when we finished that the condom broke, but it only broke in the upper part - so we thought that nothing happened and we didn't get the plan b pill.. i normally have my period around the first day of the month, but every three months or so i get it around the 20st. Well, i had my period the 21st of may and i think we had sex the 2nd of june. Since my last period was irregular, i didn't know which day to expect it coming. Well then today, i got my period, but it is different than normally...my stomach is aching a lot, much more than normally, and the flow is lighter than my normal flow - but im not feeling sick or anything. Could i be pregnant? I really hope im not---im only 17!! cant have a baby... Should i take a pregnancy test? and is it the right time? cause i read that if you take it at a wrong time, it might give you false results... help! i'm really scared...

If you have your period, relax. You seem to have an erratic cycle which is okay. See what the next few days bring, if it abruptly stops do the test. If it continues you should be fine, it might be lighter since you are early today is only the 13th. If your last period was on May 21, a preg test will show positive if it is. Be certain to use condoms and a spermicide until you get on the pill. Then it's pills and condoms.

Ok thanks, but what do you mean with "if it abruptly stops" - you mean like, if it stops earlier than normal?
And about spermicides, i really do not get what they do and where to get them or how to use them...?!

I meant if your period just stops after one day. Spermicides you pick up at the pharmacy, insert into the vagina, they have foam, films, and suppositories. What they do is they kill any sperm which escapes the condom to prevent pregnancy. This is not the same as a condom with spermicide on it.
