Chances of pregnancy?Or pms symptoms?

Question

i'm a 16 year old girl.

I've been getting my period since 6th grade, but i've grown since i got it and has not really been regular for a full year.

I had my period June 12-15 & July 7-10

My boyfriend & i had s*x July 13. We used a condom, he did ejaculate but it was inside the condom.

The next time i had my period was August 5-8.

I was nervous that i was pregnant a week before my august 5-8 period (i was having PMS symptoms..mistook them for pregnancy symptoms.)

So i bought a lot of HPTS (3 first response, 3 ept, 1 rite-aid brand one. All of them claim to detect pregnancy 5 days sooner.)

I took 3 of them, then i got my period.

Since i was still worried, i took 4 after. The last one i took was a first response, i took it this past wednsday.

All of the tests are negative.

It's now August 23, and for the past week i've been having period-like cramps (not as painful..but still there.) I've been slightly constipated, slightly moody, tired, and some light pain in my ovaries, sore b*****s, and bloating!(these are all typical PMS symptoms for me, but i understand they are pregnancy symptoms as well.)

My question is..its only day 18 of my cycle. is this too early to be experincing pms?

i had a 26 day cycle from June-July

And a 30 day cycle from July-August.

So i know i should be expecting my period within the next week..or week after that.

Should i be worried about pregnancy? I've had 7 negative tests and a period since i had s*x (and yes it was definetly a period- not implantation or vaginal bleeding. I had a normal flow, & all my normal period symptoms.)

but i just don't understand why im getting pms symptoms early..?

Please help!

oh, and please don't tell me to talk to my mom or get birth control.

my mom is very caring, and very loving, but i've tried to tell her i had s*x before and she just got really mad.

She won't discuss getting birth control with me, and i'm not sure how to get it on my own other than going to Planned Parenthood, and there is no planned parenthood near where i live..the closest one is about 3 hours away.

I plan on going when i get my liscence (within a month.)

And until i know im doing ALL i can to be protected, i'm not having s*x.

I made a mistake before, i regret it.

Answer 1

dont worry too much. everyone has false alarms. i would say its early PMS symptoms. take a test later on. only if you dont get your period. i have one of the most irregular periods in the world. it fluctuates so much and jumps around all over. my cycle changes constantly, but thankfully i do get it every month.

dont stress. stress causes PMS to be worse sometimes. dont take my word for it. you'll see for yourself. do relaxing activities and dont think about being pregnant. your period will be there in no time.  

Answer 2

Don't be worried about irregularity. I'm 22 and not once have I had a normal period.

No you shouldn't  be concerned with being pregnant if you have had your period and all tests are negative. They are pretty accurate.

Until you can get on BC make your bf PULL OUT! Condoms great, but still use all precautions.

Answer 3

I think you are blowing this WAY out of proportion.

You are not pregnant, stop worrying that you are. You have taken 7 tests, and had a period in between. This definitely slims the odds down to nothing!

PMS symptoms can occur at any point in a woman's cycle, most of us find they occur lots when they are not expected. This is because our cycles are not rigid like most women think, they change, and adapt.

Also, at your age, it is extremely common for your cycles to be ALL OVER the place. So this is normal, and you are looking far too much into it!

If you are this worried about becoming pregnant, and will be paranoid every time you experience some changes in your cycles (which happens often), then i suggest you either cut down on the s*x, or try to worry less, cuz its causing you too much stress - which could also induce pms symptoms and delay your periods, making you more worried!

Calm down, you'll be fine :)
