You always do a few tests to make sure you didn’t get a dodgy one. Buy a few more and do them over the next 24 hours.

Okay, stay calm. Getting anxious has never helped anyone, and trying to think things through with a clear mind usually does. Take another test before talking to anyone about it to be 100% sure, but keep in mind that the chances of it being a false positive are very low. Start thinking and planning with that in mind.
I don’t know your personal situation or the decisions you’ll make about this, but I’m sure you’ll find support from the people around you and you’ll get through it.

You may want to do a little research and see if your community has a good clinic to visit. Please be cautious, though! There are unfortunately a large number of places that advertise free testing, but if you make an appointment they will do everything in their power to make sure you carry it to term, including downright abusive manipulation.
That said, there’s still a lot of clinics out there that actually put your own well-being first, not just medically, but also in terms of respecting what you want as an outcome of this.
I wish you the best of luck! As a guy, I know I literally cannot even imagine what you are going through; so just know this internet stranger offers free virtual hugs!

Unfortunately, the landscape has gotten very hostile for your situation. You need to be careful about where you ask questions, and what sort of paper trail you might be leaving. It may limit your choices down the road.
Tragically, this might mean that you cannot discuss it with your family, friends, or even a doctor. You might also want to put effort into disguising your searches, lest they become evidence against you.
Of course, if you’re from a more civilized country than the US, you can disregard all of the above.

Surely you can freely discuss this in blue states, right?

For the moment, yes.

It’s risky. There have been a number of recent actions at a national level that are being applied retroactively. You also have to be sure that it ONLY is being discussed within a blue state. You cannot have a red or purple state involved at all, nor is it safe to cross state lines.
