Teen Pregnancy

I'm on the contraceptive pill, Microgynon.
I tried to take them religiously, but admittedly forgot sometimes and then had sex with no protection.
I thought that this would cover me.
Also when i first got the pill, the doctor told me to take them after my period.
Next , three months of being on the pill, i went to the clinic, who told me to take them first day of bleeding, so this switch may have something to do with it.

Anyway, recently i have been having various symptoms.
I'm not sure if i'm ill, or pregnant.
I have no sniffly nose, or sore throat etc.
i'm experiencing:
nausea; one time this week i woke up and had to bolt to the bathroom.
dizzyness and a sore head, especially when i get up fast / look down.
a funny feeling tummy - sometimes it feels like.. car sickness?
other times it cramps a little - almost like my period but different.
sometimes some food tastes funny, and a day ago i craved mint sauce (?!).
i have not been urinating frequently, however i am a little constipated,
and often urinate when i go to the toilet intending to poop instead (sorry).
i've been feeling particularly emotional and have gotten angry or cried for nothing - maybe this is just stress.
i dont know if this has anything to do with it, but i've been particularly forgetful this week too.
i cannot take a pregnancy test as i am not due for my period until around a week, or slightly more.
however. i have had spotting of brown blood. its just the occasional like.. blob,
and this started yesterday. it has not been enough to be a period but i dont know what else it could be.
perhaps just old blood, but i found it odd after these symptoms.
i know i should go to the doctors but i need to get the nerve - i'm scared to be pregnant.
but also im scared not to be because then i have no clue what it could possibly be. =s ]:

i'm terrified because i dont think my parents would be best pleased if they knew i was pregnant.
mum said she'd be disappointed but i think she'd be really angry if she knew i was for sure.
my boyfriend is pretty supportive right now but i think that maybe if his parents got on his back, he may not be.
it's odd that before i thought it was possible i'd have always said "if i got pregnant now, i'd abort."
but now thats changed and i wouldnt want to kill something that's inside of me.
i dont think im ready for a baby but at the same time, if im pregnant, i wouldnt want to lose it.
i wouldnt even want to put up for adoption because even though i dont know if i am even pregnant,
i still have a sense like "it's mine." i just worry i will be pressured to abort, if i am pregnant.

help me?
i am 16.

When was your last period due, hon? If you are late, the only way you will know for certain is if you test.

well u do have quite a few pregnancy symptoms there, BUT that doesnt necessarily mean that u are pregnant.
u said ur cramping almost like ur period, but different. is the pain lower down than where it normally is? or just a different feeling?
there's no real guarantee until u have taken the test, but i was very sure i was pregnant before i was even due for my period.

I'd wait until next week when your due too come on, and if you don't, then i'd definately take a test. Try not too worry too much hun, x

i'm not even sure when my last period was ; i think it was three weeks ago, but when it did come the blood was light and i only bled for one day really.

The only way to know for certain is to test.

I had a really light period last month (2 days, really light) and I am now almost 8 weeks pregnant. If I were you I would go ahead and get a test and take it. It would ease your mind and allow you to go ahead and begin caring for yourself and your little one. Please keep us informed and try not to worry too much.

Okay thank you.
And to everyone else who answered me.

Uhm. Since i dont think i can do a home pregnancy test now;
can they tell earlier at the doctors? :/

I'm guessing so. =s

God it must seem so bad.
Like, i dont know anything ]:
