Freaking Out- Help Please!! Am I Pregnant??

First things firs, you need some birth control! If you have access to the morning after pill, you have access to birth control. Use it if you don't want to become pregnant.

The morning after pill is hormones. Hormones can mess with your cycle and make it late, early, etc. Test again in a few days and hope you get your period.

Use condoms or get yourself on the pill.

Good luck.

I for one plan on being reallistic. I don't want my children to have sex until they're married. I will teach them that is the ideal. But I will also be smart enough to teach them about birth control std's and the other aspects of having a sexual relationship. Abstinence is a nice idea. But the reality is that most teenagers are having sex earlier and earlier. I plan to be a responsible parent and not just preach to my children but to guide them and give them the tools to be responsible. I'm not going to push abstinence and then turn a blind eye hoping they'll listen. Teenagers don't always listen no matter how much you tell them. No parent is that perfect. So do I want my child to stay away from sex? Sure. Do I think that will really happen? Highly unlikely, so i'll be the kind of parent my child can really talk to regardless of whether I agree with their choices. Better to have a child having safe sex that I know about, rather then telling me shes abstinent while she's having risky sex because she's too afraid to come to me.

The pull-out method does not work. You need b/c pill and a condom for a back-up if you plan to have sex, I hope you are not pregnant either as it sounds like you do not want to be. You really need to take on some responsibility! Please do not take me wrong, I am not jumping on you, just stating fact!
The best to you!

Birth control is being responsible for your actions!

Sandra, that sounds great on paper, but how our children handle their own lives once they get past a certain age is really out of our control. We can't sit back and say, "yeah, .M.Y kid will do this because I taught him/her to do so," because that isn't the way it always ends up. Children who are raised to wait until they are married can end up having sex long before the rings are exchanged. Children who are raised to never abort a baby may go through it without your knowledge. It happens. Our kids not only learn from us but also from the world itself.

Now, I personally can't tell my older children to wait until marriage for sex because I didn't do so. They can be pretty sure of that, since they were almost 5 when I got married. I can't expect them to ignore what I have done in favor of what I say. Sad but true. It's unrealistic to tell them to be abstinent when, heck, I wasn't! What I will tell them as well as the new baby when she is older is how babies are made, how stds are transmitted, and how to avoid them both.

Anyways, back to the original poster. Girl, you should never ever ever have unprotected sex, no matter who you are having sex with, since stds are out there and they don't put a brand on the guy's face to let you know that they are there. Also, it doesn't matter if he pulls out before he orgasms; guys have this thing called preseminal fluid that contains sperm that can and will get you pregnant. This preseminal fluid comes out all during intercourse. That's why condoms are necessary; not only does it contain sperm, but can also contain stds.

Unwanted pregnancy is scary, but stds that contain a death sentence are even more scary.

You know what? Whether or not I listened to my parents doesn't make me a bad person, just as whether or not you listened to your parents doesn't make you a saint among women. Parents of the elder generations told their daughters to wait. That should have cured premarital sex, right? Wrong. It didn't. And what does waiting til your married do, anyway? Does it get you a medal? Does it make you a better wife, mother, person? Nope. All it makes you is a virgin when you get married.

I am definitely not going to go around telling people who have lost their viriginity that they should have waited. That's like locking the barn door after the horse is already gone. Neither am I going to council my children to wait until marriage for sex. More and more young people are waiting until they are older for marriage, until they are more stable emotionally and financially. That is what I want for my children, to have their marriages begin under the best of circumstances with as few hardships starting out as possible. Whether they have their virginity when they wed is frankly none of my business.
