Pregnancy / Question
Published: May 27, 2003

Dear TeenHealthFX,

This is my 3rd time posting this but I really need answers! PLEASE HELP! I am sorry this is long but I need to get all of this out of me and I really need for someone to answer soon. Here is my situation and I am going crazy and don't know what to do: I'm 15 years old about 100 pounds, about a month or two ago me and my boyfriend were playing around and he fingered me and I played with him, then he put a condom on and I inserted his penis in my vagina but not even all the way (I took it out cuz it hurt too much) and then he went down on me (licked me). We then went back to messing around. About 4-5 days later I started my period and it was about 4 days. I have not had a period for the month of May but I can't rely on my periods to tell if I'm pregnant cuz they aren't normal at all. If my boyfriend licked my vagina with his tongue then would it be enough to get any sperm that may have came off from my hands out (I thought me hands were dry, we waited like 3 minutes). What about my irregular periods? Wouldn't that be a sign that it would be hard to get pregnant? My symptoms are: Almost immediately after I ended my period I had these urges to pee badly and the pee is long. I still have those especially in the morning until about 11 *My nipples get a tingly feeling (I used to get that sometime when I got cold), *Since Saturday I have been waking up every morning at *around 5 am and have these strong feelings that I am pregnant and I am unable to go back to sleep until about 6 am which is when I wake up on school days, *I feel bloated and look bloated and feel some pressure in the middle of my pelvis above my vagina *And today I started having cramping on my lower right side that seemed to make the inner part of my right leg ache. Could these symptoms be signs of PMS although the only ones I have had before is the bloating and cramping, but not on 1 specific side, and mood swings? I really need help I am confused...thanks PS- I have tried listening in my stomach all over the lower area.

Dear PMS or Pregnancy,

TeenHealthFX recommends that you see your doctor or healthcare provider regarding your symptoms as we cannot diagnose your symptoms over the Internet. He or she can evaluate you and give you a pregnancy test. You can also buy a home pregnancy test to find out if you are pregnant. TeenHealthFX thinks it is not likely that your boyfriend would be able to transfer sperm from your hand to his mouth to your vagina but for your piece of mind you should have a pregnancy test.

Again, you should see your healthcare provider to evaluate your symptoms of bloating, cramping, tingly breasts and frequent urination. If you don't have your own doctor and live in northern New Jersey, you can contact the Adolescent/Young Adult Center for Health at 973.971.6475. Outside of this area, you can contact your local teen health center or Planned Parenthood. These providers can see you confidentially (without your parent's knowledge) on a low/no cost basis.
