I am pretty sure I am a few weeks into pregnancy. I am nineteen years old. My fiancé is in the United States Marine Corps. We recently solved a lot of problems in our relationship and spent a few weeks together while we were fixing our relationship. During that time, I had unprotected sex. I cannot use birth control because I get blood clots and most other methods are not safe because I have a blood disorder. I am also highly allergic to spermicide and latex and even the non-latex or spermicidal condoms irritate me. I have been suffering from nausea, frequent urination, breast pain, and headaches for about a week. I am really nervous because we are still at a point where we aren’t ready to settle down with a family. His career in the Marines has only just begun and I am not ready to get married. We didn’t want to be like the other military couples and get married and have kids at a young age. This is throwing a major dent in my plan. I don’t want to get an abortion despite the risks of my pregnancy because of my medical condition. I would look into adoption though. I told my mom and my step mom but telling anyone else would be difficult. My fiancé is absolutely a basket case about everything, but he is trying to stay calm and be my anchor on rough seas.

I am taking my test in the morning. I’m so scared.

Any advice? Anything?
