That's the way to get the message across
Pish. if she ignores it it'll go away on it's own. It might take 16 years.
Especially from Helen for sticking up for me.
I'm sorry for 'ignoring' peoples' advice.. I just get nervous and take a long time to get round to things. But I am taking everyone's advice on board..
So thank you

Anyway, go to the doctors then! It isn't hard trust me.

You've had 3 tests now right? That must have cost a bit
Have you had any further thoughts about going to see a doctor, or going to Brook like you previously mentioned? You can find out where your nearest service is here.
If you're worried about going, maybe you could share some of your worries here. Other users will have been through the same thing so they might be able to put your mind at rest.
Hope you're ok

just get yourself down to the brooke/faimly planning
quick question....does your boyfriend know your in this situation?
The only exception is the ghost lines I was on about earlier, but they'd appear later. If you checked it in the proper time, you're pregnant.
Have you started to think about what you will do if indeed you are pregnant?
whats your boyfriends opinion on you keeping it if you are pregnant? have you told your parents?
just think about if you really want this baby.....
Do you want to find out for definite?
yes, but the results are looking as if you are.....so you really need to start thinking
have you booked an appointment anywhere? like the brooke or gp?
It sounds to me like youve had another positive
You can actually get digital pregnancy tests which will clearly say "pregnant" or "not pregnant".
Theyre a bit more expensive, but might be worth it if your having trouble interpreting the normal tests.

Could you perhaps set yourself a list of things to do? And then try and build up the strength (I realise it can be hard thing to do) to complete them?
Maybe something like:
1) Find out where I can go to get a definitive test.
2) Call up and make an appointment.
3) Arrange for someone to come with me.
etc etc
I dunno, maybe then it wouldn't seem like such a big scary thing to be doing....
Remember, you don't have to go and see a doctor, there are family planning clinics (you can find your nearest one here) and I think some pharmacies may offer a service too.
Let us know what you're thinking.
shes 17.
im glad your going to the brooke
im not being negative. its just (im guessing as i've never been in this situation) but at 17 its hard to start enjoying yourself when you just find out that shes pregnant, shes got alot to figure out and things to sort out.

I saw my doctor at 5 weeks (1 week after first day of missed period), and had my first midwife appointment at 7 weeks (3 weeks after first day of missed period). If the OP is planning to keep the baby, it is even more important that she gets medical attention NOW. The first 8 weeks are critical to long term healthy development, and as I assume it wasn't planned, she needs to at least get her bum on folic acid and check out all the dos and don'ts asap.
