What do you do if you find out you are pregnant at 15?

Answer 1

If you're old enough then you can go to a store and buy one. I'm having the same problem too. I think the best way is to either buy a home pregnancy test and go somewhere to use it, or get someone you trust to get one for you. But remember to dispose of the package so your parents won't find it.

I don't know if the rules have changed since I was 15, but my best friend fell pregnant at 15 and took a test at a family planning clinic, and her parents didn't find out till she was 8 months pregnant. Your doctor or FPC should let you have a test and the result will remain confidential unless you are pregnant and missing scans etc and they think you or your baby are in danger. Take the test in confidence and worry about telling them if its positive.

Answer 2

Firat off at 16 you shouldn't be having sex because u are way too young..You are a child yourself and don't need to be having a child...You should wait and take a pregnancy test and then if u find out if u are pregnant then u need to talk to your parent and be honest with them and take whatever consequences that come your way.if you find out your not then u need to step back and thank god for giving u another chance..stop having sex and go out and have some clean decent fun...You are too young to be tied down with a kid.......

Answerwell it would be pretty hard for them not to find out lol Answerno matter what the parents say teenagers will be teens. but if you are pregnant and you don't want your parents to find out then im sorry for you because you will have to tell them. but the better thing would be to disscuss it with your mother first then the both of you tell your father

My mother had me when she was sixteen years old. I know it can seem like your world is coming to and end but everything happens for a reason and it will all be ok. My grandparents were extremely overprotective and my mother was terified to tell them. she waited a couple months after she found out she was pregnant to tell them. she actually went to have and abortion but couldn't go through it after she shaw my hand wave accross the screen. She finally to my grandparents who tried to make her get an abortion and she refused. Long story short, my whole family is very glad she decided to keep me even though it was a complete shock to everyone. If you are not pregnet, lets be real, chances are you will have sex again. I stongly advise you to go to your local planned parenthood and get on birth contol. They will give you Birth Control for free and your parents will not be informed. Also you need ( and I strongly say you need) to use protection everytime even if it is a boyfriend. People will lie and decieve you to get what they want and you need to protect yourself!

Answer 3

If you can't personally go to the store to buy a pregnancy test, try to get your boyfriend or a friend to go to the store for you to buy the test. Before jumping to conclusions, you have to be sure whether you are pregnant or not. This will be a scary moment, trust me. But, if it turns out that you are, you and your boyfriend have some serious talking to do, but mostly you have some serious thinking to do. You can decide whether or not to have an abortion, keep the baby and give the infant for adoption, or keep the baby. There are many avenues you can turn to. If you decide to keep the baby, the Department of Social Services and the Public Health Department can help you. But, you're going to have to dig deep down inside to find some courage to talk to your parents. If you live with them and they are supporting you, your parents should know if their daughter is pregnant. If it turns out that you're not pregnant, you don't have to tell your parents anything, but start using birth control and using condoms to prevent an unexpected baby. See it as a warning. I hope everything works out for you and good luck.

You should go to a local free clinic, Planned Parenthood isn't free but they can usually work that out. They will help you and present the choices you have regarding your pregnancy. Tell your parents, they may be upset at first but it won't last long and they are the people who can help you the best. Whatever you choose they will be needed. And remember the choice is yours and only yours. Tell the father as well. To find a clinic near you you can call Planned Parenthood at 1-800-230-PLAN or visit their website.

Answer 5

Prepare to grow up very quickly and face diificult decisions. In hindsight, abstinence or using proper birth control would have prevented this, but there are local agencies to help you through if you contact them. Many if not all church agencies will suggest adoption if that is your choice, or you and your family may decide to raise your child.

Your situation, is (unfortunately) not uncommon in the US and Europe, despite programs to educate and inform teens of their sexual responsibilities.

Answer 6

Tell your mom first and go to Planned Parenthood and get the test done or have the test done first. They will tell you what options you have or help you get birth control if you are not pregnant.

Answer 7

Go to Planned Parenthood. They can provide you with reliable pregnancy testing, without having to tell your parents.
