pregnant on birth control ? Posted: 09-03-03 13:25pm
hi girls, im new
to the forum. Today is september 3rd,
and I for my first time on july 23 had
intercourse with a friend. No hes not my
boyfriend. We were both very attracted
to each other and it happened. And hes
embarrassed about it, and doesnt like me
anymore. I am on birth control, and have
been sice may. After I had sex, about a
week or so after, I got my period. Is
that because im on the pill?? I still am
freaking out and I think im preagnant.
Today I will be almost 7 weeks along if im
pregnant. The only symptoms I have are
frequent urination and cramps in my lower
abdomen, and I sware my belly looks
bigger. Im on my 3rd pink pill in my
pack and havnt gotten my period yet. I
am soo scared. Im all alone if I even am
pregnant. What do I do, im still taking
the pill. Im scared to go see the doctor
cause my parents will find out, and im
dirt pore and have no money and im so
scared to tell my mom afraid of what
she'll do. I dont want to get kicked out
if I am pregnant.

Larano,
first things first. Take a deep
breath...Whatever happens, you need to be
calm. Now, if you started the pill in
may, you should be ok, so long as you have
taken the pills properly. You said you
got your period a week after you had sex
in july. That is a good thing, and you
probably (although we cannot 100% say for
sure) you are not pregnant. On the pill,
you should get your period during the 4th
week of pills (the placebo pillls) but
since you just started the pill, things
could take a few months to settle down and
then your period will be like
clockwork...I even can pin it down to the
hour it will likely start now. Are you
able to go back to the doctor that gave
you the pill in the first place? If you
are, go and talk to him/her...If you are
really worried, go to a women's clinic or
the hospital, and have them do a blood
test. I am hoping you live in canada,
because all this is free, but if you are
in the states....Borrow money from a
friend, or tell your male friend he better
help you out.
No matter what happens, everything will be
just fine.
