I've had a lot of unprotected sex in the last couple of months. I have been off of birth control for about two months and most of my sexual activity has occured in that month or so. My period is about a week late and I'm not showing any of my usual period signs (normally the week before my breasts are tender and i have mild cramping) However, I am extremely tired, bloated, and having gas pains/mild constipation. I've heard these may be signs, but I have no idea how pregnant I might be or if it would show up on an EPT?? Also, I found out my boyfriend was cheating, so I left. He knew of my suspicions of pregnancy...if I am, would it be wise to tell him? He's not the type of guy I would want help from. I am from a middle class, well respected family and know my parents will support my decisions, but I'm unsure!

Wait till a week after your expected period to get an accurate result on any ept. Those could be symptoms but they are common for anyone to have at an unexpected time.
As far as telling your ex boyfriend that is up to you if you can handle it by yourself and would rather him stay out of your life i would advise you to take it on yourself otherwise he will probably be in and out of your life frequently and it could complicate things. If you feel he should know weather he will be there or not tell and let him know that you are bringing his child into the world with or without his help.
Ok first of all were you trying to get pregnant? Secondly you need to go to get a pregnancy test. After getting the results, depending on what they say, you can tell him. I think it is better he knows if he is going to be a daddy, even if he isn't going to be in the life. If you don't think that he is a good father figure, then tell him you don't want any help and you don't want him in the childs life. But it is important to let him know. Good Luck.
Take a pregnancy test first of all and find out if you are even pregnant. Then if you are I would definitely tell the guy and also get checked for STD's (you did say he was cheating correct?) Then go on from there. Luckily you have an understanding and supportive family.
If you take a test now it should be accurate. If you are tell him. But make it clear that you don't want anything from him if that is the case. Let him know that If he does for the baby thats fine. If not thats fine to. If you are pregnant it's not about the two of you it's about the child.
A home pregnancy test should be accurate on the day you would have expected your period. Use your first morning urine, as it tends to have the highest concentration of hormones.
You should tell your boyfriend if the tests comes back positive. You can make it clear you have no expectations of him or desire to get back together, but he still deserves to know that he's going to be a parent.
LIES .. you commonly dont even locate out you're pregnant til you have a ignored era, in no way the comparable week, and NO way will intercourse weigh down the toddler under pressure ... shes attempting to get you to be along with her or seize you into staying along with her .. flow away THAT loopy CHICK on my own!!
take a test, if you are a week late now it will show or go to your doctors. The father also has a right to know if you are and then leave him to decide whether he will want to be involved.
you could be just stressing over the situation so much that it caused you to skip a period or you could be pregnant... i would purchase a first response pregnancy test and go from there...good luck
Go to your OB/GYN right away. If you are preg., get DNA testing to see who the father and file for child support as soon as the baby is born.
i'd give it a few weeks and then take a pregnancy test and as for the ex i feel that he has a right to know if you are indeed preggos and it is his responsiblity to help you take care of the child and that would be selfish to not let him know and to not include him in the upbringing of your child, if there is one and if not, consider yourself lucky
