Possibly pregnant friend..?

I hate these 'omg i think i'm pregnate' questions.. but I'm really stuck at the moment.

One of my good friends text me last night telling me her period was two weeks late. She's been with her boyfriend almost a year, but he's very controlling and I really do not like him because of the way he treats her.

Anyway, my friend is 17, doesn't go to school anymore (she's sort of at a community college/TAFE/Polytec) and I live over an hour by plane away (moved this year for University).

I've been texting her all day asking her to please make an appointment at Family Planning, but she said she's too scared to. I've tried my very best to convince her, but she wont go. She's one of those people who will deny something for as long as possibly. She said she'd go to Family Planning if I was there, but it's not possible.

She's on the pill, but doesn't take it regularly. She said she's having period pain and other PMS symptoms but no period. Is that normal if you're pregnant?

Update:

Is there anything I can say or do? I'll be seeing her in June but I don't want her to wait that long!

    Wabby,you have already told her the obvious, that she should go to a Family Planning Clinic.You said you will be seeing her in June which really isn't that far away.Make a point of seeing herand perhaps you can talk to her again about this possible pregnancy.All you can do is be there for her.If her boyfirend loved and cared for your friend he should have suggested she go to a clinic.I think if your friend went to a clinic and found out if she were pregnant or not it would remove the fear that unknown brings.It is easier to make decisions if you know what you are facing.Whatever she decides to do from this point forward she should not have togo through it alone.The best you can do is be there,Take care.

    yes cramping can be an early sgn of pregnancy,

    so can light bleeding

    nausea

    Tender breasts

    dizziness

    frequent urination

    more tired than usual

    and like a lot others

    then again some people never have symptoms at all

    Unfotunately you can't do much more to convince her

    and your right it is a long time to wait until June

    See if she'll at least buy an HPT and take that

    how long has it been since her last menstrual period?

    Good luck girl

    There is nothing "normal" with pregnancy. I had a friend that had no symptoms or periods until she found she was 6 months pregnant. At the same time, it is probably a false alram. You can't help your friend any more than you are doing. It doesn't sound like she really want's to help herself so all you can do is be there for her. Until your friend is prepared to help herself, you cannot do anything.

    If she had unprotected intercourse, and if her era is late (which, oddly, you have not stated), then she might nicely be. yet only nausea itself isn't a solid predictor of being pregnant. I under no circumstances had morning disease with the two of my pregnancies, and that i under no circumstances fainted, even while i replaced into six months pregnant and status for 0.5 an hour in an overheated subway station. perhaps she's only not eating perfect. it easily relies upon if she's had intercourse and if her era is late.

    If she is too scared, she does not have to go. If she cannot raise the baby, there is adoption. Her "boyfriend" seems traumatizing enough, an abortion might make things worse. I'm just going to list the health risks of an abortion:Increased risk of malignant breast cancer

    Risk of infertility

    Increased risk of miscarriage or stillbirth in all future pregnancies

    Pelvic inflammatory disease

    Relationship failure: increases risk of divorce and break-ups

    Uterine perforations

    Hemorrhaging, excessive bleeding

    Infection

    Even death of the mother during or after procedure

    Tell her to see a doctor for a test or to buy a pregnancy kit if they are available here.

    Sorry Wabby that's the best I can come up with.

    You've done your best to convince her.The only thing you can do now is just stick by her,she needs friends at this time.There's never anything "normal"with pregnancy,every woman is different.

    she could be pregnant. as her friend you should support her decision no matter what (adoption, abortion or raising the child)
