Why did you have sex without a condom if she wasn't on any other form of protection? You should have known that pregnancy could result from this.

I think you're asking if her parents need to be there for... an abortion? Or do you mean the pregnancy test?

First things first, your girlfriend needs to confirm that she is actually pregnant. You need to take her to a store and buy a test. It has directions for proper use. The first time she goes to the bathroom in the morning is the best time to test as that urine is the most concentrated.

If that test comes out positive, or, if you can't tell, then you need to go to a clinic such as planned parenthood. No parents need to be there, just you and your girlfriend. They will give her a blood test if she got a positive, or maybe another urine one to confirm if she is pregnant.

Then, if she is pregnant, she will need to make the hard desicion. Does she keep the baby, does she give it up for adoption, or does she abort it? You can give advice, but you don't have the right to tell her what to do. It's her body.

Abortions can be expensive. Then again pregnancy can be too. The people at the planned parenthood can help your girlfriend with these desicions; they won't push her in either direction. They'll give her the pros and cons.

How old are you guys? I'm glad you have a few adults who are willing to assist you ad your girlfriend.

Also, this post needs to be moved off of the abortion debate forum and placed on the "medical abortion" forum. This is not up for debate, these are two people who need help, not hate.

I love it how my post was deleted because i was honest.

don't be irresponsible and don't have sex without protection .k.n.o.w.i.n.g that's how you get pregnant and then want to get an abortion!!!!! that's the most idiotic thing i've ever heard in my life.

if you have sex without protection then you should live with the consequences.

What you did was very iresponsible, unproteced sex will eventually lead to a pregnancy you really should have been more careful. I pray that she's not pregnant because the fact the you had unprotected sex knowing full well that an abortion would be readily available for her if she was to be pregnant is so iresponsible and to be quite frank makes me feel ill.

Look you guys, he may have not know; I'm not saying this makes it better, but he may have thought that a girl somehow can't get pregnant the first time she has unprotected sex, or maybe they thought it was a safe time during her cycle.

DO not carry out your anti-abortion (or even slightly pro-life) views out against this guy.

Original poster, we'd love to hear back from you and your girlfriend as to how you're doing.

Saying what the guy should have done in the past is not helpful.

Have you ever made a mistake?

It sounds like he is very young, and needs help.

Dannzibelle, are you not fifteen years old and pregnant? Alot of people would say that your choices were "very irresponsible" (your words). Be careful what you say about other people. I know you are a very responsible young lady, and I respect that. However, those who live in glass houses...

Okay, you goofed up; let it be a lesson. I know using condoms is a bummer, but that's the deal unless you get your tubes chopped. She needs birth control, too, so you don't have to worry about the condom breaking.

If you are in the .u.s., what state are you in? And what are your ages? These things matter in regards to parental consent and abortion laws.

Eiri has great advice; just take her to a planned parenthood to 1. Find out if she is pregnant 2. help you figure out how to proceed if she is and 3. if she is not pregnant, get her on some b.c. and get some education.

Don't goof up again, or I will come through the computer "the ring" style and beat your testicles with a full box of trojans.

Consenting to sex is not consenting to spending nine months pregnant at 18 years raising a child. Understand that fact before you give advice.

To the original poster: I agree with all that EIri said. Now you need to make sure that you use protection all the time if you don't want children yet. It may be worth asking the doctor for different contraceptions for your girlfriend.

In just under 6 weeks on the 23rd june. For me and my boyfriend there was no other choice really neither of us like abortion, i knew i couldn't carry a child i would love to term and then have it adopted so the only choice left was to keep her and for me it was the best decision i could have made

Some would say the decision to have sex at fifteen years old is not responsible. Some would say that only using a condom, regardless of your reaction to hormonal medication, is not responsible.

I support your choice to maintain your pregnancy, of course...that's not what I meant. (Just to clarify).

My point was that I would be careful throwing the word "irresponsible" around so casually.

I am no saint; I have only used condoms as well, but then I am not going to be jumping on people about their behavior either.

Again, I think you sound like a pretty sane fifteen year old, and I'm sure you'll be a good mother.

Some people might say that but then again some people also think that having sex before marriage is irresponsible even if the woman is in her 30's. Don't get me wrong i do understand what you are saying and i didn't take offense to it because at the end of day it's my life and my choice and i have to live with that and i don't expect everyone to agree with what i do or believe

excuse me, but having unprotected sex is consenting to pregnancy thank you very much! you know it can happen and if you are going to abuse that when you don't want a child then you shouldn't be having sex at all.

i agree with .terra. if you have sex without a condom, or without the girl being on any type of birth control is basically saying that you are okay with having a baby. if you have unprotected sex, you will get pregnant. maybe not the first time. maybe not the second time. but it will eventually happen. if you don't want to get pregnant, or get someone pregnant, you have got to use protection. that's it. if you aren't man enough to raise a baby, you aren't man enough to have sex without a condom or birth control.

No it is not, and this forum is not the place to be debating it. Driving a car is not consenting to a crash. Going out in the sun is not consenting to skin cancer. These are all consequences of actions, yet not ones you consent to. Please do not post such things here.

I agree much more with the way you phrased things, and I must agree.

"if you have sex without a condom, or without the girl being on any type of birth control is basically saying that you are okay with having a baby."

An exception to this is of course if this guy did not know that the first time would cause pregnancy. That doesn't mean it wasn't dumb, but it does mean you can't completely be angry at them, unlike two totally knowledgable adults.

On the abortion support forum, opinions like yours are not welcome.
It would be like going onto the prgnancy forum and telling all of them that they are contributing to overpopulation and the downfall of social security.

that is true, .eiri.

although i do find it hard to believe that someone 18 years old would not know that she could fall pregnant, ya know? but i suppose it's possible. it's just sad that someone that age wouldn't be educated in that aspect.

& .it would be silly of me to be angry at someone for having unprotected sex & becoming pregnant.. because that's exactly what i did! i didn't want a baby, but we did it, anyway. & .of course, i got pregnant.
