I'm 17 years old and I live with my grandparents. About two months ago, I made things official with the guy that I've had feelings for since the 3rd grade. About three weeks ago, I let him take my virginity. It was 100% consensual and he pulled out. I am on birth control, but sometimes I don't take it until later at night when I get home. I haven't gotten my period for a little bit over a week now and the past 2 times we had sex, I let him come inside of me. I'm really scared that I might be pregnant, because my entire family is extremely old-fashioned, judgmental, and strict about this type of stuff. I wanna talk to my grandma about it, but I'm so scared about how she might react. I don't want her to be disappointed in me, but I know she will be. The thing I fear most is the fact I might actually be pregnant and I don't know what to do. I'm so scared that they might kick me out and send me to live somewhere else. I just know she is gonna lose all respect for me once I express my concerns to her.

Does anyone know if there's any way I could get a free pregnancy test and maybe even abortion pills? I have no source of income, because I'm not allowed to get a job until I graduate. Please help me, I'm so scared.

@glittrpuke Bless you, where do you live, which country? In the uk you can get pregnancy tests off the shelf. Perhaps start with one of those and see what it says. Are you getting any other signs, Feeling sick, tender breasts etc?
whatever the outcome, you have choices. It is just important to make informed choices. We are here to support you though this as well.
See if you can buy a test and then let us know what happens.

I live in the United States. I don't have any money to be able to buy a test though.
The only signs that I have noticed are missing my period and slightly bloody discharge.

Ok. I have a friend on here who is also in the US who will be able to advise you I’m sure. @FlamingoWrangler
As soon as she’s awake I’ll get her to message you on this thread.
For now try not to panic. I know that’s easier said than done but you will be ok. Xx

A very popular American store is “dollar tree. “. They carry a pregnancy test. You can scrape up enough change to buy one.

let me know how it goes.

I'm not in the US so I don't know if it's free, but planned parenthood might be able to help https://www.plannedparenthood.org/

In addition to planned parenthood that RCG mentioned, you might want to try calling 211. 211 can help connect you to healthcare, and this is very much a healthcare issue.

Please help me, I'm so scared.

We'll keep trying to help until this gets worked out.

Hello. I texted a religious chat for support. They literally told me to not trust medicine and put all my faith in God for serious illness. I find that to be very dangerous and bordering on criminal. How can they get away with influencing people like that?

Lol 😂....that's criminal! I'm sorry though @Waves that you had that experience. Big

Hi @glittrpuke Any luck getting hold of a pregnancy test? Let us know how it’s going. Xx

Thank you. Can you believe it? Isn’t that similar to encouraging a 15 year old to end his life? Which was found to be a criminal offense.

i am glad you got a negative result. Birth control pills need to be taken regularly. not taking them regularly can cause missed, irregular periods.
if you plan an appointment with the dr about this, I suggest you discuss alternatives to the “pill”. Unless you want a baby, contraception needs to be used as directed. There are other options.
be well.

Good idea
