everyone is different with symptoms, I barely had any until late into my pregnancy but in early stages you can feel bloated, have tender breasts, suffer from morning sickness, feel fatigued, and feel like you're having light period cramps.

I'm not sure about Cali but as far as I know they can be found where the condoms are and that they don't check your age.... as far as I know I'm in Canada and that's how it is here.

Make sure when you get the test that you read the directions and follow them carefully, alot of false readings come from people not following the steps and reading the test wrong. Best of luck!

There is no age limit on buying a pregnancy test. The symptoms vary for everyone, the only way to know is to take a home pregnancy test, but to get accurate results it has to be atleast about 14 days from the day you think you may have gotten pregnant.

Like the others have said, there's no age that you need to be to buy a pregnancy test (I wouldn't imagine. Go with a friend if you're feeling nervous.

As for pregnancy symptoms, it's different for everyone. You may not have any signs early on in your pregnancy. So you can't go on the symptoms alone.

If you're worried that you are pregnant, you need to think about a few things first. Have you missed a period? If not, then wait for your next period and see if it comes. If you have missed your recent period, make sure you give it a few days before you worry too much. Worrying could delay your period coming. If you're still too worried, go and speak to a doctor.

Take care.

Im mainly worried because my stomach is getting bigger, but i don't know. Its only been twelve days. Will I have enough time to wait until my period comes and then if i am, get an abortion? Or will it be too late by then? Im taking a test tomorrow. Wish me luck!

You won't have any 'show' on your stomach this early. I think youmigjt benefit from googling some of your questions. You will have enough time til your next period. And you should wait a week or two to take a test anyway. When your period is due, if it doesn't come then take a test

But try bot to worry because that could delay it further.
