Question:
I'm 16 and about 4 months ago, I went to a party and got really intoxicated to the point where some of the nights a blur. I get really paranoid about being pregnant and stuff so this is my question. Would i know if I had sex? I've had all my periods, but last month I had 2 and this months is kind of light and it's making me a little sick, (light headed, upset stomach). Maybe I'm just paranoid but could I be pregnant and not now I had intercourse?

I am sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you. Let me try to answer your question.
First, there is no way to really know if you are pregnant unless you take a pregnancy test. I recommend that you do that so that if you are not pregnant, you can stop worrying about it. If you ARE pregnant you can gather information and make choices about what you might do.
Secondly, yes it is possible to have intercourse without knowing it. Both alcohol and other drugs can block your ability to actually know what you are doing and once you wake, you will not know if someone had intercourse with you. This would actually be rape on the part of the person who took advantage of your alcohol 'blur' since a person must be able to give consent to intercourse.
It does not mean that you would know that it happened though. Though I suspect that your body would be giving you more signs that you are pregnant since it has been four months, there really isn't anyway to know that without a test.
I hope that you will consider taking a test so that you can relax a little. Then I would suggest that you never use alcohol or other drugs to the extent that you lose your ability to make decisions for yourself and know what you are doing. This can be very risky for any of us.Reviewed by: Patricia Fawver Ph.D. in Sexology
