18 years old 16 days late im suppose to start my 2nd period next week friday sexually active. took one 1test neg. not stressed or change in diet.

Question

I am 17 years old and I am not sexually active. I have nothad sex, but my period is off by 9 days so far. I have beenvery stressed out lately. What should I do?

Answer 1

Repeat: the urine pregnancy test and see your doctor for further testing and birth control/STD advice. All the best.

Answer 2

Yes, it's great.: It's best to taper off the zoloft (sertraline) and your doctor has an excellent plan.

Answer 3

Zoloft (sertraline): You did not mention the dose, but if your doctor recommends it, u should be fine. Just inform your doctor of any changes, and congratulations in advance.

Answer 4

No: Tapering off SSRI antidepressants is not done by stretching out the time between doses, it's done by gradually decreasing the daily dose. Taking a Zoloft (sertraline) (of any usual dose, say 50 or 100 mg) every 3 days may lead to a cycle of repeated withdrawals 1-2 days after each dose. (This doesn't apply to Prozac due to its long half-life, but it does to Zoloft (sertraline).) Talk to your doc about taking less daily.

Answer 5

Check a preg test : Over the counter pregnancy tests are cheap and reliable. Go do one and then you will know and you won't have to worry about it any more. If you don't want to be pregnant see your doctor for effective birth control.

Answer 6

Yes: Many side effects possible. Rash and GI upset and diarrhea are common.

Answer 7

Exercise : Adding exercise and self control by reducing portion intake and eating the right foods while counting calories is best. Increase fruit and fiber intake if not eating enough. Take a yoga course or start swimming if not already. Good, low impact exercises. If considering surgical options, know that the best procedures and surgtons usually require that one starts losing weight first.

Answer 8

PREGNANCY TERM: As long as you are under the care of your ob, no toxemia, or any other problems anticipated, you are in good hands! good luck !

Answer 9

Hard to say: Since your other health issues are not available for review, limited assessment is possible. Baby is near term, but upwards of 10% will require special care even if born at term. Complications of pregnancy or labor can increase the risk.About 5% of newborns have an unexpected issue at birth (defect, prematurity, illness).Most pregnancies end up in a satisfactory outcome.
