Q: Bluh ... this Sucks

Hello whoever is reading this,

I had sex with my girlfriend yesterday....actually it was today since it was around midnight. We were using a condom and apparently it had a hole in it. I found out after I ejaculated inside of her. It was weird because I didn't feel much in the condom (we both came at the same time) so I got scared and pulled it out and hurried to pull it off of my penis. Sure enough there was a hole a bit off to the side, but I feel that doesn't matter since a lot the sperm obviously escaped. Afterwards, she went to the restroom and said that right away she had stuff come out when she sat down. I asked what color it was but she said she didn't really look. Shortly afterwards she had to go to the bathroom again.

I am so worried right now that I am having breathing problems. I didn't mean for this to happen....then again who ever does with a condom on? She said that she had started birth control 5 days ago and took the pill every day, very promptly, at 5:00 PM (the pill she uses is called tri-sprintec, if that helps you). Her instructions tell her to not be sexually confident or active until about a week. Prior to this unexpected incident, she complained of having sore breasts so it's obvious that the medicine has already taken effect. She also mentioned, in attempts to comfort me, that ovulation should occur in about 2 days which would also be the point at which she reached a week of the pill's use, but this doesn't mean anything to me since I'm so worried and I feel so stupid for doing this. I wanted to be as safe as I could, but I failed...

I have no idea what to do about this. She tells me not to be so worried, but I can't help it. I couldn't imagine of getting an abortion because I would never want to destroy a life, especially one that I could've created. I know it wouldn't be the end of the world and that we love each other no matter what, but countless people at school and our parents would be angry with us and never talk to us again (not to mention her dad killing me). I know it's wrong, but I do not want my parents to know about this.....just as everyone who goes through this mess. Right now is the period of impending doom for me.....I'm worried enough for the both of us and I'm passing out from time to time. I cannot handle a child right now..we are both 17. I'd probably destroy the development of this child's life even if we didn't get an abortion because we simply aren't ready.

So now you know I'm another stupid teenager who couldn't wait until marriage, but I do not regret making love to her at all. We love each other more than anyone will ever know even at this age, and it will always be that way. I just want some help; an answer from someone to ease my mind. I know I should be worried because things are never too sure with these situations. Please help me....I feel like God hates me right now and I need answers to help keep me from ending my life. Give me some odds or some ways to prevent this. I've been reading about ECPs....they sound like a good idea, but I'm a year too young to go out and buy her one...hell, I don't even know if or where I could buy one...I live in Omaha, NE. Please help me.......please.

I would assume she could go and take the morning after pill, I think it's called plan-b in the .U.S. First port of call for her should be the doctor I think!

Fingers crossed for you Wink

Do you know if she started the pill on the first day of her period this month or at another point in her cycle?

if her period is due in 2 weeks it means she's very fertile right now. i'd seriously look into the morning after pill if i were you.

eek good luck!

i think theres a planned parenthood up there? I just came home from omaha, I'm pretty sure that I saw one, but maybe it was somewhere else. Either way you could look it up and get the plan b pill if you're really worried about this, because it is a possibility, good luck!

If she started taking the pill on the first day of her last period, she was covered immediately. If she started it the following sunday (sunday starter) or at any other time in her cycle then she is correct, she is not fully covered untill seven days from the start of the pack.

I suggest that you two get the morning after pill (plan b) It is sold over the counter to 18 . But, she can get it by prescription if she calls her doctor (which I recomend anyways).

Good luck.

I also wanted to add: You two did everything correctly, she is starting the pill and you two were using a perfectly fine method until then, UNfortunately, some times these things happen. I'm proud of the two of you for doing your best.

This is what sucks...She is in lexington right now, but she says she is trying to come back....she knows i'm still worried about it and I think, from what all of you said (thank you, by the way) that I have good reason to be concerned. I will try and get her to call her doctor...but like I said, I really don't want her or my parents to know however I'm not sure there is no way they can't know if we need to get the plan b prescribed immediately...I know they will probably be supportive, but I am so scared in losing her's and my parents' trust...I hate hate this so much...I haven't cried so much in my life. I'll see what I can do...

I'm not sure about all that period stuff....she said something about 14 days and other things in regards to ovulation. Her theory sounded like that she just got off of her period wednesday (5 days ago at the time) and the eggs have been flushed so there is little or no chance that the eggs can be fertilized since there proabably aren't any right now....but I feel like, with my luck, that she is probably wrong. So i guess she started her pills at the end of her period (duh) after she got a pap-swab....I know that probably doesn't change anything...I'm still a horrible person.

Your not a horrible person. And it shows maturity that you want to handle this situation. If she goes to planned parenthood, they will give her the prescription for plan b and they will not tell her parents.

i don't want to worry you more but i want to tell you why it's important for her to get the morning after pill asap.

a girl ovulates 14 days before her period is due. the sperm can survive for days inside her body. if her period is due in 15 days that means she should be ovulating tomorrow and your sperm could be there to meet up with the egg.

i'm glad to see your taking responsibility for your actions. that shows real maturity.

Here (in fl) over the counter (they sell it here at like cvs ect..) it costs between $50-60. If you have a friend that is over 18 they can go buy it for you and no one parents have to know. I'm not sure how much it is if you get it through planned parenthood. My insurance covers it (if she got a script) but I'm not sure if her's would.

No you are not doomed. It is effective as long as it is taken in the first 72 hours, so she has time. Did they tell you anything over the phone?

There is NOT an age to buy a pregnancy test. You may not even need one. If she's complaining about sore breasts it could be by some other cause because sore breasts do NOT happen so early. If she's pregnant there won't be many signs in the beginning so I'd suggest buying a pregnancy test. There's no age limit so feel free. If you STILL don't want to go out and buy one have one of your friends do it. And it'll be OK. I'm 16 and pregnant, single as well. I'm doing perfectly fine. Your gf is lucky to have someone like you. If she is get a job and do as best as you can. Its easier then most people make it out to be. Good luck!
