most scariest time is waiting for ur period. i get perinoid each time. i always use protection. This time I didnt. Know i have to firgure out a way to get a pt test. and its driving me crazy cause my family is in such a bad situation right now. So do i go with out knowing or do i steal a test. I dont even live close to the health dept no more and with no car and no gas money to give anyone im scr**ed. I just hope im not pregnant it will ruin everything right now. Im all alone I cant do this on my own. It lit. reeks havioc on ur life. I cant even get hired at the mc ds. What will I do. Im so Upset i dont know what to do.

I see this site used to be so good. what happened? i come here for help and it feels like ive been turned away

u dont have a planned parenthood anywhere close to u?

Do you have any friends or anyone you trust who could buy you a test? Or, as mentioned above, a planned parenthood might be a good place to start. They have people there who can talk you through anything, and are very nice and experienced with cases like yours.



Just take a deep breath and try to calm down, things will work out eventually, one way or the other. Just take it one day at a time.

You haven't been turned away, not at all. Its simply that we have less users than we did, so less people post - therefore replies aren't always as immediate as we would like them to be.



Innocence has some good ideas. Asking a friend to drive you to clinic or buy you a pregnancy test seem to be practical solutions.



Take care,

I dont have any friends. i wish i did though or i wouldnt be in this mess. they all ethier moved on or moved. I wish i had a planned parenthood close by but i dont closest one is over 1hr 1/2 away and with no way to get there it would take forever to walk. the posibly baby daddy wont return my phone calls. he dosnt care. but oh well i guess i might just end up not knowing at all

Could you use public transport to get there? Or you could borrow some money from parents (for either the transport or the test). If you had to you could make up an excuse as to why you need the money.

ok it only takes a couple dollars for a test from like a dollar general store. you will have to get over the fear of telling your parents if you are pregnant then they will find out soon enough anyways. what about a grandparent?

Go to a 99cent store. Or, just wait for your period. Technically, you have to wait for it anyways.



And no dear - you're not being turned away.

I do not have anyof those stores around me. Theres no use for me in waiting for my period my family history contains getting periods while pregnant so if i get mines there still is a chance. Its going on a month without my period though i should have it anyday but im still scared there will be that chance. im so scared and i cant tell my parents not intill i know for sure

Stop the arguing. Dude - take it to PMs.



Topic starter - we can give you ideas all day long but you have to work with us. NO STEALING. Just go to a walmart/drug store/etc. Anything that is close enough for you to walk to. Buy a test. Take it. And from there do what you have to do. By stressing yourself out so much, you, yourself, are causing your period to delay. Relax.
