0kay. i'm a week late on my period, i have really horrible lower back pains, horrible stomach pains, white discharge, i eat ALL the time, bloating, theres a small lump in the left lower side of my stomach, i get dizzy alot ((anytime of day)), im always tired, headaches, my legs and hips are getting a little bit bigger, my breasts are somewhat larger, and i don't have any energy at all...

i took two pregnancy tests yesterday and on both you could see a very very light colored line.

When was the last time you took a test? the hormone that makes a pregnancy test positive doubles every 2 days so wait 2 days from the last test you took and if you are pregnant there should defiantly be a line by then. But if you can see the second line on the test now then I'm pretty sure you are pregnant a line is a line no matter how light (as long as you can see it) congratulations


also we have a great teen moms board on ivillage if you want to stop over. :-)

If you suspect that you're pregnant and are having ANY type of pains (especially severe stomach & back pains), see a Dr ASAP!!! Not seeing one now could be detrimental to your health.

It does sound like you might be preg. You can retest but be sure it is the first urine of the day. Can you talk to your mom? You really have alot going on and this is a decision that you shouldn't be expected to make on your own. If you can't talk to your mom or a close family member, I would suggest you contact a Crisis Pregnancy center in your area. An internet search should help you find a center. These centers are free and are there for girls just like you. Whatever decision you make you should know that while this pregnancy may not have been planned be you,it was no accident to God. Children are a gift from God and He does not make mistakes.
Good Luck to you and I hope this helps.

you need to be careful about crisis pregnancy centers. i'm putting a link for you to read about them. BUT... you should go to a planned parenthood center. they will give you ALL of your options about the pregnancy- including abortion. it is your right to decide what to do with your body, make sure you do what is best for you.

http://www.plannedparenthood.org/

please check out both of these site. also, you can talk to a guidence counselor at school. i'm a teacher, and i know those people are there to help.

good luck!!!

Well first of all I would like to say, you should take it easy and calm down. It might just be that your cycle is changing, but if you are pregnant I think you might want to talk with you parents. If they find out that you pregnant from someone else they will be hurt and wonder why you did not come to them first. Wait another week and then go to the clinic and take a test and go from there. Good luck.

ummm actually i am a RN and a pregnancy test can detect a pregnancy outside the uterus... if it is ectopic your body still releases the HCG hormone so i dont know where you heard that from but that isnt true... a line is a line though and if there is a chance you think you are... you should def go see someone soon! just to rule out anything wrong and if you are pregnant to make sure everything is developing correctly! good luck!!
