Pregnancy - Teens Support Group

This community is dedicated to the experience of being pregnant as a teenager. Pregnant teenagers face many of the same obstetrics issues as women in their 20s and 30s.

Periods aren't always on schedule and it doesn't necessarily mean pregnancy. I've had the dark spots happen many times after things like that and it's just your period coming in.

periods can be different month to month for some women, But did you know stress along can cause a abnormal period. Go to your school clinic or local planed parenthood location and talk to them about you concerns. I also recoment that you talk to you priscriber about other options of birth controll since you arent remembering your pill, like you should be. Good luck.

i know they can be a little off :)
but ive never broken thru like this.
im usually perfect at remebering my pill 9am every day, but this last month ive slept through my pill alarm, or worked early and had to take it at work and i feel like it hasnt been perfect.....
the pain is so great and so similar to miscarriage pain i wasnt sure.

if you've missed a pill , taken it late, or taken more then your suppose to it screws up your cycle. if your really scare and worried that you could have gotten pregnante go to the emergency room and ask for a blood test for pg and say that you've missed pills and are worried.

You should go to the doctor, they should know if you had a miscarriage or if you are pregnant.
