Hi,
The method of contraception you are practising is not fool-proof but has a high failure rate. Considering your age you need to have additional protection. Your symptoms could be due to pregnancy if your past cycles have been regular. I advice you to see an obstetrician for further advice. You may need a pregnancy test and a sonogram. Take care.

Hi
Brie
Welcome to HCM
As per your detail information the method you prefer during intercourse it will not give 100% contraception because during withdrawing if some amount of semen comes out in vagina then it will lead to pregnancy . As you are just 17 years old your body is not ready to become pregnant . your symptoms showing that you might be pregnant so go for UPT OR CONSULT an gynaecologist , And in future use more assured method for contraception .
Hope I have answered your query. I will be available if you have any further queries.

Regards
