I'm So Worried... Could I Be Preg? Posted: 06-10-07 14:36pm
I'm 16... I've been dating my boyfriend a
year and a half and we've been sexually
active since August. We ALWAYS use condoms
with spermacide and nothing has ever
broken/slipped off. But this month we've
done it more times than ever, about 5 or
maybe 6 times. There was one time this
month where he put his penis inside me
without a condom, but it was only one
thrust and I dont think there was any
residual sperm on him. But my breasts
have been very tender and my areolas look
bigger to me (but I might be just
imagining it). I've also been getting
pretty frequent headaches but that also
might have to do with my extreme allergy
to pollen. I don't expect my period for
another few days. I'm going crazy, I live
with my grandparents who still think im a
virgin and aren't very open with talking
to me about sex. They sleep in two
seperate bedrooms and think sex is wrong.
I don't want to talk to my boyfriend about
it yet because I don't want to freak him
out if nothing is wrong. I really don't
know what to do... What do you think my
chances of being pregnant are?

I think the chances are pretty low.
There's always a chance, of course, but I
don't think it's a high chance. However,
be sure to always, always use condoms or
birth control pills because letting him
stick it in there even for just a little
bit is risky without condoms or some type
of birth control.
Your symptoms don't really tell much. It
could be pregnancy...or it could be PMS.
A lot of early pregnancy symptoms mimic
PMS symptoms. All you can do is wait
until your period is late and then test.
However, do keep in mind that stress (such
as worrying that you're pregnant),
illness, change in diet or exercise can
delay ovulation...when ovulation is
delayed, your period is late. Test once
your period is late. If that test is
negative and your period still doesn't
show, test again in another week. If you
still have a negative test and no period,
go to Planned Parenthood and get a blood
test done to determine what is going
on...but I really don't think you have
anything to worry about.

You could be, but don't freak out! Just
wait until you expect your period and then
test if you miss it, that's all you can
do! Just next time, be safe ok? I
understand you not wanting to tell your
boyfriend so that he doesn't worry, that's
what I did too, and in the end it was
nothing. Please keep us updated

Oh thank you so much! I think I just
needed some reassurance. And I feel like a
complete fool for letting him inside me
without any protection... definately won't
happen again!
Any ideas on how to bring up the subject
of birth controll pills with my extremely
strict grandparents?

You don't have to. Go to planned
parenthood. if you're a student of any
kind, you can get a pap smear (which you
need now that you are having sex) and
pills for free.

But I think I want them to know, it's not
something I really want to hide, and I
think it would be difficult to hide taking
the pill every day. I just don't know how
to really start a conversation with my
grandma...

You can always tell her that you want them
to help regulate your period or to help
with pms or cramping.
If you want her to know the truth, then
you just have to say it. "grandma, me and
___ want to be intimate, but I want to be
careful. I want to go on birth control so
that we don't get pregnant" and see how
she handles it.
good luck!

Got my period today!
Such a relief, but such a pain in the
butt.
Also, talked a little to my grandma about
going on the pill for the hiking trip im
doing for a month out west... I said I
didn't want to get my period there (which
is very true)...
