I think I might be pregnant..What should I do???

Question

I missed my period for May. My breast are a little bit bigger and I'm kinda tired. But I just started a new job. And I'm terrified to take a test. I'm a college athlete and my parents would flip because I'm supposed to be the good one. And I haven't told my boyfriend yet. I'm not sure what I would do if the test came back positive. I asked my bf what he would do if this happened and he said he would be supportive after he got over being mad at himself. But I don't know that he will believe me. 
Should I tell my boyfriend before or after I take the test?
What should I do if it's positive?

Answer

Given that you're freaking out i think it'd be good to have his support. Take the test, have him next to you & then take the next step together. At the moment you're stressing over the unknown, get tested so at least you'll know if you are pregnant or simply late.

Answer

In my experiences with these scares I don't usually tell him before I've taken the test. The way I see it, I'm already panicking so why cause him to panic too when it might turn out to be nothing? If it's positive I'll let him know, if it's negative I might bring it up and I might not. I've told him after taking one before and he was there to support me (because even though it was negative I was still feeling pretty on edge) and that way we could discuss how to prevent it at all costs next time. But that's just how I am, maybe for you it would be better if you told him now and had him support you through the whole process like the person before me said :) you know yourself best

Answer

When I found out I was pregnant at 16, I took the test with my boyfriend on a night where I had been allowed to stay the night so that if it was positive wed be there for each other for support and it helped.
