Sorry if this is in the wrong place but I gots to know

From what I know (not that I have a lot of knowledge in the matter) you do not get your period when you're pregnant, so if you're missing your period right after having sex that might be it.

[conniption]

Yep, you miss your period if you're pregnant. Some girls still have spotting even though they're pregnant, so nausea, fatigue, irritableness are some other side effects.

[Derryck]

................ don't.

Birth control is good, but also use a condom for STDs and extra protection. You don't get your period if you're pregnant, and can feel sick and nauseated.

[Luminous]

Yes you miss your period but you may still have some spotting which you might mistake for your period. You could feel sick and also tired a lot of the time. Hungrier than you normally would be. And I think your stomach stiffens but maybe not.

Im going to have "It" when I get a bf

Perhaps I'm the only one wondering this, but what is "It?" A child? Sex? The killer clown demon from the movie "It?" Maybe she's having the movie itself.

Please don't have any of the above. Please. Don't. You aren't ready for any of it, especially not a killer clown demon child. And I have this horrible gut feeling that's exactly what you will have because that's what happens when kids have kids.

To be honest, the fact that you are unknowledgeable about pregnancy is conclusive evidence that you are not ready for what causes it. Having a boyfriend/getting a boyfriend, whatever, that does not mean you have to have a sexual relationship just because you're in a romantic one with him. You're fourteen. You're a young girl. And I know lecturing is for squares and old people, but I feel as though instead of informing you of possible pregnancy signs to be cautious of, we should be encouraging you to stay as you are. Still having your virginity is seriously a beautiful, respectable thing. You shouldn't assume you have to lose that to the first boyfriend you have, and you certainly shouldn't be concerned about pregnancy! That is a lot, a lot of thinking for a fourteen year old. At fourteen I was still one of those kids that watched Jeopardy with their parents after school and thought my answer to the final jeopardy question was the only information I'd ever need to know. Am I saying you have to watch Jeopardy with your parents after school? No (though you would have great trivia knowledge, and that comedic Alex Trebek's one-liners. Am I right or am I right?) What I'm saying is I know not every person's maturity level is the same, but physical maturity (i.e. hitting puberty) is certainly not the equivalent of the mental maturity one should possess before having sex. And any guy that makes you feel even remotely pressured into doing such, just so he'll stay with you, is not worth an ounce of your time nor respect. So with that said, just don't. Sex is immensely overrated anyways, if you ask me. Hold onto your innocence until the time is right and you aren't having to ask a bunch of knobs on a forum the signs of pregnancy to look for.


In any case, you asked a question, so I don't want to come off like a prick by lecturing you and not answering your question.

Aside from the utterly obvious nearly non-existent cycle:
Classic Early Signs of Pregnancy
*Tender, swollen breasts. Early in pregnancy hormonal changes might make your breasts tender, sensitive or sore. Or your breasts might feel fuller and heavier.
*Nausea with or without vomiting. Morning sickness, which can strike at any time of the day or night, sometimes begins as early as three weeks after conception. While the cause of nausea during pregnancy isn't clear, pregnancy hormones likely play a role. Pregnant women might also find that smells that never bothered them before now cause nausea.
Increased urination. You might find yourself urinating more often than usual.
*Fatigue. Fatigue also ranks high among early symptoms of pregnancy. During early pregnancy, levels of the hormone progesterone soar — which can make you feel sleepy.
*Food aversions or cravings. When you're pregnant, you might find yourself turning up your nose at certain foods. Food cravings are common, too. Like most other symptoms of pregnancy, these food preferences can be chalked up to hormonal changes.

I concur. Generally the whole point of sex is to reproduce and not to have fun. In my opinion if your not ready to be a parent your not ready for sex. If someone falls pregent by accident I feel no sympathy. You should be aware that your action may have consciquences.
