i'm sooo worried that i might be pregnant.
i'm 21. i know the best way to tell if you're pregnant is to wait for a missed period. but i have never had regular periods. sometimes i would go a year without one. so a gynecologist gave me birth controls to induce a period every month. i stopped taking them at the end of nov so my last period was nov 19-23, 2010. i had sex for the first and only time with my bf on dec 5.
like i said, i haven't had a period since then. for a week after sex, i felt nauseous but that's too early for morning sickness i heard.
i haven't felt much else since then (no tender breasts, morning sickness, yada yada yada..). and i've taken about 10 pregnancy tests at home (20 miu/ml) and all were negative, and i made sure i did it first thing in the morning. so i stopped thinking about it for awhile.
but this week, my mom looked at me and said my stomach was getting bigger and i looked fatter so i started thinking about it nonstop. am i pregnant?????? i need to find out WITHOUT MY PARENTS EVER KNOWING. so i made appointments with 3 planned parenthood gynecologists for this coming week (i told them i wanted to have my irregular period checked out). they all said they don't do blood tests but can i ask the gynecologist to take the blood test anyways as part of the check up???? obviously i can't afford to go to all 3 appointments but i need to know. i've been pressing on my stomach nonstop. i might be imagining it but it feels harder and firmer. but at the same time, i can grab onto my stomach and it all feels like fat. so i have NO IDEA. i just bought a bunch of 10 miu/ml early pregnancy tests but then i read somewhere if i'm too far into the pregnancy, they'll come out as negative. what do i do????????????? i need to find out for SURE. 102% sure. without my parents.

Anything that happens between you and your doctor, whether it is planned parenthood or your regular OBGYN, is confidential. The only way your parents could find out is if you told them or you tell someone else and they hear it through the grapevine. Your doctor can not disclose that information to them without your consent. The same goes for any lab results either urine or blood.
