** This is a repost from the teen pregnancy forum - though it would be wise to seek some opinions in the adult forum as well.


Hey everyone, I feel that I am unnecessarily worrying about my situation but I felt like I would seek a second opinion. I am 17 and my girlfriend is 18; while she is legally an adult, I feel that a pregnancy at this time would qualify as a teen pregnancy. My girlfriend and I made the decision to have sex after dating for several months. On that special day we had sex three times, and each time I used a condom. I put them on correctly. How noticeable is a condom breaking? Would I feel it immediately? Anyways, I don't think any of those condoms broke. Also, my GF is on birth control. She has never missed a day, but she sometimes forgets to take it at the same time everyday. Would that affect the probability of her getting pregnant drastically? We had sex three months ago, and because of her BC she only has a period every 3 months. Two weeks ago I penetrated her without a condom. Although we had been drinking, I came to my senses and pulled out of her within two minutes. I def. did not experience an orgasm. Would any pre-cum be enough to get her pregnant, despite her BC? I very rarely have pre-cum anyway, and I had already orgasmed several times that day (further reducing the likelihood). The only reason I am worried is that her period is due this week and it is a few days late. I honestly do NOT feel that she is pregnant. It is finals week after all, and it is common knowledge that high periods of stress can cause a late period (among other things). However, my girlfriend tends to worry about EVERYTHING, and just the idea of her being pregnant stresses me out. She is firmly against abortion (religious concerns) -- although I would prefer abortion, I know that the decision is legally and morally hers to make. I would feel responsible if she was pregnant. It would ruin our lives (short term at least). She would have to drop out of school. If she did have a baby, it would be taken care of. She assured me her parents would be supportive, and I know that mine would be as well. I am a freshman at Ga Tech, and I am a pre-med major. Although I am 17, I am extremely mature and would NEVER abandon the mother of my child. It takes two to tango, and 50% of the responsibility is mine. She would not want to marry me just because of a pregnancy, but I would feel obligated to do so. I suppose I would continue to date her until she felt ready to marry. Anyways, I am sorry for the extremely long winded post. I have been studying for finals and I couldn't sleep because I was so stressed out. If she is somehow pregnant I guess that is what God felt was best! I also apologize for telling you my whole life story lol! Just wanted to reassure everyone that I would not be the typical father (from what I have seen) and just ditch the mother! If anyone has read this far, thank you.
I appreciate everyone's help in this matter. Guess I will go study some more...?
