hi, i'm michelle. & i'm only 15.
i had unprotected sex... & yes, i know i'm very young.
lets not worry about that. my boyfriend is 18.

uhm, i think i "might" be pregnant - pull out method?
he said he did not ejaculate... but pre-cum.

my period is irregular. the last time i had my period was on 3.28.08
so, can some calculate when i am suppose to get my next period?

my boyfriend gets mad every time i mention that i might be pregnant, and he doesn't listen to what i have to say. he's so selfish, & he thinks he's always right. how can i prevent this from happening?

if i am pregnant, what am i going to do?
i'm 85% sure that i don't want to keep the baby.
should i get an abortion behind my parents back?
oh, and is the doctor / clinic going to call my parents?

i have no idea - i'm just a very lost & confused 15 year old.
help me, please?!

Hello
Hello,
I hope everything is alright with you. Well to start off with I am totally against abortion and am definitely for pro-life and everything but I know that if you really need to have an abortion that I guess it's alright, you know? I mean I really really am against it but if you don't feel you are ready and everything then I think it would be the best thing for you right now. I mean you are young and everything and I am not going to say that you are too young because that's judging you and I definitely don't want to do that but most 15 year olds are not ready to be able handle a baby at that age, financially and emotionally but hey you could be fine with a kid. Would your parents be supportive of you if you told them or you don't know? And for your boyfriend, well he just sounds like he is afraid and definitely sounds like an !**@!. For the fact that he doesn't want to listen to you is a really big major problem and that could be another reason why you might not want to keep the baby because he doesn't seem like he is ready for it and doesn't want it so most likely he won't be much of a help to you. Also, it sounds like he just likes the fun and games and now that the consequences are coming to him he doesn't' want to face it and that's not good. Definitely don't stay with him.

Well let me know what happens and keep in touch [ :
If you need anymore advice or help let me know..

If you've just had a period, you're 99.9999% not pregnant. Take a test if you're really worried.

Otherwise, I think you should either talk to your boyfriend or find a new one. You can't prevent your boyfriend from being selfish, that's who he is. You can try to explain your fears, but really, as you just had a period, he's probably right. Other than that, no 18 year old should be having unprotected sex with a 15 year old. If he is so upset at the idea of getting you pregnant, he should be responsible enough to get some condoms. Not to mention you have to be 18 to consent to sex in California, if you were to be pregnant, and someone found out it was by him, he might be thrown in jail for having sex with a minor. He's obviously not being a responsible adult, so you're going to have to be responsible or you're both going to be very screwed.

About your period, we can't tell you when you're supposed to get your next one since you just told us your period is irregular. If you had a normal 28 day cycle, it'd be 4 weeks since your last one. If you want to test for a pregnancy, tests are usually accurate 14 days since the unprotected sex. Start taking care of yourself and get protected immediately. You don't want to go through with a pregnancy, and you won't enjoy having an abortion so take precautions before it's too late.

You should get to planned parenthood and get some birth control. When your period starts, you should start using that birth control. Not only will it prevent pregnancy but it will also regulate your periods! So it has more than one benefit. Cool, huh?

It is very doubtful you are pregnant. Have your boyfriend get some condoms. Don't ever have sex without birth control.

hun it hasnt been 2-3 weeks since the 28th are you sure that was the last date of your period?

Why are you not on birthcontrol? You can get it free from clinics... if this "i might be pregnant" thing happens alot... I understand thats hes frustrated...

Getting an abortion if thats what you choose does not have to involve your parents.

Wait it out about 2-3 weeks from now and try taking a pregnancy test.

hi there,
i've read what your questions were, and to answer when you should get your next period....how long are your periods, do you get them like between 28 days? that should give you the answer as to when you should expect your next period.
second..how to prevent this from happening again, im asuming this has happened possibly more than once in the past, and that may be why your boyfriend is not understanding or upset about this.. you should probably think of getting on some birth control, or use a condom. this would prevent the worry of if you are pregnant or not.
if you are pregnant, you dont have to keep the baby, but instead of abortion you could put the baby up for adoption. theres alot of couples out there who want a child desperately and cannot concoeve their own, you could give your baby up for adoption to a loving a caring family.
Also, you are under 16, which means that your doctor would notify your parents that you are pregnant. but regardless, if you are, despite what your decision is it would be wise to tell them.
think about it, you were old enough to engage in the act of sex, so you should be old enough to step up to what both of your actions may have concieved.
