My boyfriend came out and stayed with me for a week. We had intercourse at least 7 times. 3 of which were unprotected because we ran out of condoms, and one of those times he didn't pull out in time.

For a couple weeks I thought I might be pregnant. I took 2 home pregnancy tests and both came out negative. I went to the doctor and got a urine test done there also and it came out negative as well.

A couple weeks after last having intercourse I got my period but the blood was brownish and I didn't bleed like I usually did. It also only lasted 2 or 3 days when usually it lasts a week. A few weeks after that I got a period that was like my normal ones, but this strikes me as odd because i'm extremely irregular. I usually only get my period once every few months.

Lately I've been getting a white substance on my underwear when I go to go to the bathroom. It's usually after I have to pee for a while, but haven't. Also I notice a clearish gooey discharge sometimes. And the past couple days when I wipe I've spotted a tiny bit of blood.

Could I still be pregnant. Or is there something else wrong with me?

I'm only 15, and I can't tell my mother that I think I could still be pregnant, or possibly have an std. I was my boyfriends second parter in his life, and he didn't have any std's as far as we knew. I'm afraid to go get it checked out. What do you think?

The white substance is normal. I usually get it when my period is a week or so away but it comes and goes.

If you've been stressin over this thats a good reason why your period is going crazy, but if you're still worried then take another test Smile

Is there a reason you only get your period once every few months?

I don't think you are pregnant. The 'white goo' you are having is called discharge and it can be very normal. At 15 years old your periods would be irregular. Irregular means you don't have them at a set time every month.

Since you are sexually active, it is time to start having PAP smears and getting checked for STDs. If you are grown up enough for sex, you have to take what comes with that ~ being responsible for yourself and get checked for sexually transmitted diseases.

NEVER, EVER have sex without a condom. I don't care if they guy thinks he doesn't have an STD. Many STDs are passed around without either partner knowing they have them! For instance, herpes is a lifelong affliction (there is no cure!) and it is passed around from partner to partner usually when there is NO EVIDENCE of the infection.

Same with AIDs. You can't SEE it. You would have no way to know it was there.

Or gonorrhea. Or HPV. Or any numerous other things.

Always protect yourself. Use condoms.

Go to the doctor and get checked. You are not pregnant.

When did you start your period? Even if you started when you were 12, you've only been menstruating for 3 years. Trust me, your periods change over time. This is a fact of a woman's life.

If you've taken all these pregnancy tests, you are not pregnant.

Yeah you're just irregular because you're young. Getting on birth control would regulate your period.... you can tell your mom that....

Otherwise, you can always go to a planned parenthood or something like that to get tested for pregnancy or std's. You can also get plan b there, which would've been a great thing for you to take after you had unprotected sex- that's what it's for! It's for those "uh-oh I messed up" times. You can get that at a planned parenthood too for a free or reduced price. PLUS, planned parenthood won't tell your parents or anyone else, and they won't charge you much so you don't have to use your parent's insurance to pay for it.

Look them up. There is probably one near you, and they really are lifesavers. Tell your parents you're going to a movie, and have your bf or someone else (or the bus) bring you there to get checked out for anything you're worried about. You can also get birth control/plan b/condoms there.

Thank you Georgia. I'm going to look into the planned parenthood, turns out it's not too far away from my house. I took plan B the time he was too late only i was afraid it wouldn't work because we couldnt get somewhere for him to buy it for me within 3 days of the incident. I didn't end up taking the pill until 4 or 5 days afterwards....

They are most effective within 3 days, but you can still take them up to 5 days later. You're probably fine. Smile
