she might be pregnant

[juliateclark]

Hello, one of my friends thinks she might be pregnant. She is 18 and she is supposed to start her period in two days. She is having more discharge, sore breasts, and she is also way more tired than usual. Please don’t be rude. Just tell me if you think those are pregnancy symptoms she is really worried because she is a high school student. Thanks to anyone who will help with great suggestion.

She might be.. but I would wait untill she late on her period, then go to the store and get a preg. test. and see.

Hello :)
While these could be early pregnancy symptoms, http://www.maternitycorner.com/mcmag/calendar/pregnancycalendar/week4.html it could also be any number of things.
There are also very sensitive home pregnancy tests that can detect elevated hCG levels even before she is expecting her period. She can take a home test now if she likes.
She can also go to a walk in clinic or her doctor.
Let her know about our pregnancy articles -- there is some good information there as well. http://www.maternitycorner.com/mcmag/pregnancy.htm
Best of wishes to you friend ((hugs))

the easiest way to tell is to just take a pregnancy test. they are accurate and can detect pregnancy early. If she's nervous because she's young and scared to do it at home have her get a test and then take it in a public bathroom (with a friend, so she's not alone when she does it).

good luck

I agree - if she is nervous, have a friend purchase the test for her.
