TeenHealthFX cannot give you any kind of definitive answer as to why you have not had your period and have been throwing up for four months. Pregnancy is a possibility, but since there are other possibilities it is important for you to see a doctor as soon as possible so that you can find out what is going on. You can always take a home pregnancy test, however, you would still need to see a doctor regardless of the outcome of the test. If the test comes up positive, it is important to meet with a doctor to confirm the results and discuss your options. If the test if negative it is still important to see the doctor to find out why you have been experiencing these symptoms for months.
If you don't have a doctor and live in northern New Jersey, you can call the Adolescent/Young Adult Center for Health at 973-971-5199 for an appointment with an adolescent medicine specialist or contact your local teen health center or Planned Parenthood. A Planned Parenthood health center is a good option if you have concerns about cost or confidentiality issues. You can also contact your insurance company for a list of in-network providers.
TeenHealthFX would also like to encourage you to speak to your doctor about safer sex precautions for the future. Doctors generally recommend that teens and young adults who choose to be sexually active use condoms each and every time they have sex to protect against unwanted pregnancies and the transmission of STDs, as well as a back-up method of birth control such as the pill or birth control shot. Your doctor can make the best recommendations for you and discuss with you how to use properly use birth control to maximize its effectiveness.
FX also suggests that you check out the links in our Resource of the Month: Planned Parenthood Resources on Safer Sex so that you can learn about sexual readiness, how pregnancy happens, pregnancy tests, emergency contraception, birth control, STDs and more. The more educated you are about these topics, the more likely you will make healthy decisions for yourself when it comes to your sexual health.
