Thank you for your letter.
I can hear that youve been feeling really worried. I cant say for certain whether or not youre pregnant but it is quite rare for somebody to become pregnant without having sex. It seems as though youre wondering whether sperm could have come in to contact with you when you went to second base. I am not sure what you mean by this, as I know that this can mean different things to different young people. For more information about that, you can have a look at our page on pregnancy or go to the Brook website. Im concerned that youve been trying to cope with so much and it seems as though youre not always eating regular meals. This can have a big impact on how you feel physically. Im not sure whether or not youre getting medical support with your eating disorder, but I would always recommend speaking to a doctor to get help with this. You seem as though youve lost a lot of weight quickly and its important to get medical advice about this as well, so that you can keep safe and healthy. Maybe you could book an appointment to see your doctor about it. Find out more about seeing a doctor and read our information about eating disorders.
Sometimes eating disorders can affect your periods but only a doctor could say for certain. If youre not sure about visiting your doctor yet, you can also talk to a qualified health professional by dialling 111. You might also find it helpful to look at the eating disorders section on our message boards.
Its also important to remember that during puberty, periods can be irregular, which means that they dont always happen when expected. If you feel you could be pregnant, its always a good idea to take a test as soon as possible so that you have as many choices as possible. Dont forget that youre always welcome to talk to a ChildLine counsellor. They can be there for you whenever you need to talk things through.
You did well to write to me about this and I hope that you get the support you need.
Take care,
Sam

You can ask me about anything you want, there's nothing too big or small. I read every single letter but I can only answer a few each week. My replies are published here on my page.
