Last month, I had sex for the first time
ever. My boyfriend and I had sex on three
different occasions, and all three times
we used condoms. I am now, ten days late
for my period, and am afraid that I may be
pregnant. I haven't taken a test yet, I
plan to wait until friday on the chance
that I might start this week. I am
sixteen years old, but under a lot of
stress. I do high school and college
classes and have several mid-terms due
this week. I am involved in a lot of
extra-curricular activities including nhs
and student council, i'm from a very small
town, so if I did end up being pregnant it
would be the biggest scandal in a long
time. I hope that it is only stress
causing my period to be off, or possibly
just some side-effects from it being my
first time. Is that possible? I asked a
friend and she told me not to worry
because she has had unprotected sex many
times and not gotten pregnant, but I still
can't help being terrified.

hey you!
Just to let you know, i'm 19, also
from a small town in michigan. And last
month, I was two weeks late for my period
as well. I was very scared. I have
only been having sex for three months, and
this was my first scare. I talked
myself into the fact that I was pregnant,
and then I took a blood test to
confirm....Negative. Two days after the
test...And after I stopped stressing...My
period came. So don't worry. And
let me tell you something else
girlie...Your friend is ignorant...I don't
mean to sound so cruel, but she has been
lucky, but that won't always happen. My
best friend has been sexually active for
five years, and has never used
protection.......She just got lucky.
Until two months ago. Now she is
expecting. So don't take her advice
when it comes to sex, ok honey?
Also...If you are pregnant....It won't be
as big a deal as you think...Your parents
love you...And we can only pray they will
understand...It will be a life changing
experience...A very hard one...And there
are always other choices to think
of...Adoption being my favorite, lol
.Keep us updated...I'm always here if you
wanna talk, ok?
ps, serious question...How are you a 16
year old health teacher?

I'm not really a health teacher. A friend
of mine and I found this website one day
when we were in health class, and signed
up for it. My friend is kind of a joker
and so she posted that other message with
this name to make fun of our health
teacher. Then, when I became late I
figured that I could come to this web site
and see if anyone else had ever been in my
situation.

Hi, guy's i'm also live in michigan
(detroit) don't worry everything will be
ok if you use protection then you should
be ok. Maybe your cycle is changing. If
you are pregnant it happen for a reason
you may not understand the reason now but,
you will later downthe line :d
good luck!

Hey, thanks for your stories guys, it
really helps. I'm actually from central
michigan. This whole experience is
definitely changing my perspective on
life. If I end up (hopefully) not being
pregnant i'll still know a lot more about
what i'm ready for and not, also who my
real friends are. Thanks for caring
enough to share with me! **hug**
I hope I can help
ya! I know how scared I was....Are you
