I know having sex before marriage is a sin, and I knew I would never have sex till then, but I did. It was a mistake and I was being thoughtless. Unfortunetly he was unprotected, and now it seems I may be pregnant. I am beyond scared, I feel hopeless and shuned by my family. So I just need prayers to our Lord that he help me through this and that I’m not pregnant…sincerely, a scared little girl

Okay, no panicking until the little “x” is on the pregnancy stick ok?? :hug3:

First you need to go to the pharmacy or dollarstore and pick up a pregnancy test - do not take it until you are at LEAST 5 days late. If you don’t know your ovulation cycle, go back and start counting.
If it’s impossible to figure out, and you think you may have missed your period, test the month after. (eg, I didn’t get my period in march, so I’ll test first week of may)

Second, even if you’re NOT pregnant, you should still be tested.
You had unprotected sex and could possibly have come in contact with an STD.
Make an appointment with your doctor, and tell them you’d like to be tested. It’s not a big deal, shouldn’t take long and are very discreet about it.

Thirdly, if you ARE pregnant, you need to let your parents know asap - this isn’t something you can hide and I pray their reaction will be merciful and understanding, but you are underage and you will need help with medical expenses etc.

But ALLLL of this is only hypothetical until you actually take a urine pregnancy test.
So take a breath and try not to freak yourself out ok?

:hug3:

All of this is good advice. Praying for you. Please also go to confession and enlist the spiritual support and guidance of your priest and a good spiritual director. God forgives you and now you need to forgive yourself.
 
God will take care of you and we will pray for you. But, today’s pregnancy tests are inexpensive, very reliable and can give you a quick answer which might relieve your concerns. I am praying for you right now.

Peace to you Dear Daugher,

Please know that God loves you beyond measure and if you are pregnant that He loves the little child just as much. God will give you the peace you need and the graces to guide you.

I am praying for you that you will have peace in your heart.

God’s blessings upon you my Dear.
 
Our father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done,
On Earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day, our daily bread,
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us,
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.
 
Get a pregnancy test, check, it will either show you aren’t pregnant and relieve you, or show you are and remove doubt so you can plan for the future. Go to confession, be forgiven, forgive yourself and tell your parents.

You are in my prayers.
 
If possible, go to a nearby crisis pregnancy center. I used to volunteer at one, and they will give free pregnancy tests. Call and ask about it. They are pro-life and can help in many ways.

In any case, the Lord will get you through this, even if you are pregnant.

May our Lord Jesus Christ and our Blessed Mother Mary guide you 🙂

I am so glad you came to the forum.!

Please stop being so hard on yourself. The act itself is hard enough on you w/o you beating yourself up about it. I’m sorry you’re going through this and there is no worse feeling of isolation I can think of for a 16 year old girl. Please go to confession and I pray you will find an understanding priest that can help you with this. It is natural to *feel *“pregnant” at this time because your body does feel profoundly different from the act itself. Also the stress from everything can make you miss your period. This is may not be pregnancy.

If it is pregnancy here’s what you should do:
  • Start looking for a support team, recognize the people who will help you through this and keep them on your speed dial.
  • Anyone who suggests abortion, does not have your best interest in mind. You think you feel bad about the act, imagine what would plague you the rest of your life knowing you’d murdered your baby.
  • I highly recommend standupgirl.org as a place to find other girls in your circumstance who are there to help and support you emotionally.
  • Please do go see a doctor, though in my personal experience they can be heavy handed with recommending abortion.
  • Do not be afraid. God is with you. He will help you through this.
May God Bless You - and feel free to come back here with more specific questions.
 
All good advice from people praying for you. I will be praying for you too. God bless you. :signofcross::hug3:
 
Praying for you that no matter the outcome of a pregnancy test, that this crisis will bring about good for your life and the life of your boyfriend. Amen.
 
No tests yet, we’re waiting for the 20th, but I still like a disgrace…its hard to forgive myself, when they can’t… : (
 
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left forsaken.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. Despise not my words, O Mother of the Word, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen
 
Update: no folic acids taken, home condition is still very harsh
