worried i might be pregnant

[Anonn]

hello everyone who sees this, honestly I'm just looking for a friend to talk too. my so called bestfriend traded me, and I just need a girl to be a friend. I might be pregnant, I'm not proud to day that at all, I'm 19, and my sister got pregnant at this age too, so I know I would disappoint my parents immensely. my period has been late for 9 days now. but I feel the more I stress about it the more it will delay. this has happened to me before though, back around February or march I believe. I missed my period for a wholeeee month. so maybe I'm just stressing myself over nothing. I still took a test then and I wasn't pregnant. but so far now I haven't taken one because I feel I have no one to emotionally support myself with, back then I had my bestfriend, and I mean i have my boyfriend but i still think that hes a guy so he wouldn't really understand what i would feel. so please just any advice on how not to stress over it, what to do etc..i just need a friend...

Since your periods have been irregular in the past, it could just be that.

But it's still important to take a test. You are far enough along that you will receive an accurate result. It's worth the peace of mind!

I know you say that you don't feel you have a good emotional support system right now. But that won't change the fact if you are pregnant or not. It's very important to figure this out sooner rather than later.
