I am 18 years old and I decided to have
sex with my boyfriend of three months. Our
first time was on June 2nd. I was on the
fourth day of my period. We used a condom
with no problems, but I bled TERRIBLY (for
about 20 minutes non-stop) and it was
excruciating! We tried again on the 4th
with no problems, using a condom. I still
bled a little afterwards, and it was still
a little painful, but OH SO much better
than attempt #1.
The first day of my last period was May
30th. I should have had my next period
June 27th. I am usually shockingly normal,
so obviously I am freaking out. I AM FIVE
DAYS LATE!
I've had mono over the last month, so I
thought that might have something to do
with it. On the bright side, I've had
cramping on and off all day - what's the
verdict? Think I'm pregnant??? Should I
test?? Which should I use? and when??

A pregnancy test would be accurate now.
You should test.

I'm going to cry - I'm stressing so hard.
I'm grabbing a test at 5:30 today.

Relax. Take a test THEN worry about the
results. Not knowing is scary - but it may
all be a waste of energy.
Take a deep breath and relax.

Yay, not pregnant!
If you're having sex, now would be a good
time to look into birth control. You'll
have more control on not becoming a mom
that way-- and it's a lot less stressful.
Also (a little off topic, I know), try a
little more lubrication and relax more
during sex so maybe it won't hurt so much.
If it hurts, something is wrong and you'll
need to either take it slower or stop for
a moment and try something a little
different. If it continues to hurt then
you should speak with a doctor. Sex should
never be described as "excruciating" and I
hope it gets better for you.

Thanks! Yes, I'm going to visit a
plannedparenthood center with a friend of
mine next week and get a prescription for
birth control. I can't go through a freak
out like this every month if I'm going to
be having sex! The only thing I am worried
about is my mom - the two of us are
usually so open about stuff, and I fear
that not telling her about the fact that i
went out and got birth control on my own
will tear our relationship if she ever
finds out. Sigh.
And good advice on the relaxation... We're
going to try both spermicide and lube next
time

I understand that. Whern I started
thinking about birth control my mom was
the last person I wanted to talk to about
it, even though we're close. She was a
little upset that I didn't go to her at
first, but she got over it pretty quick.
