Wow, okay. I don't know if I am pregnant
and I don't know what to do. I did have
sex and we were stupid enough not to use
protection. We were dumb but anyways, I am
14 years old and only a freshman in high
school. I don't want to be pregnant
because that totally can wreck my high
school years and i don't even know how to
explain to my parents that i did have sex
and i might be pregnant. i havent tooken a
pregnancy test because it has only been a
day since my boyfriend and i had sex. so,
should i take the test or wait for to see
if i miss my period?????

At this point you have to wait until your
period is due and/or late before you take
a pregnancy test. A pregnancy test will
not be accurate before your period is
supposed to come.
Second, DO NOT EVER have sex without birth
control of some kind. Why weren't you guys
using condoms at the very least? They give
these things away LIKE CANDY at the
Planned Parenthood. Get some. They are way
cheaper than having a baby.

First off for all you young girls who
don't want to be pregnant.........STOP
HAVING UNPROTECTED
SEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Unprotected
sex = possible pregnancy amongst many
other things. Please start using
protection or stop having sex!!! I am
sorry but after reading all your posts I
can only pray that none of you are
pregnant because it would be so unfair to
those unborn children. So please girls
start finding something less risky to do
in your free time!!!!

if it's only been 1 day you still have
time to get the morning after pill. though
i don't know if you'd need your parents
consent since you're only 14.
look into it NOW!

I believe you have about 3 days to take
the morning after pill Ive never
personally taken it but they were talking
about that on the radio. You can contact
your local Planned Parenthood to get one
asap you just may have to wait alittle
while, like at the office.
If you are unable to do that yes you will
need to wait about 3 weeks before you can
test. Until then stay calm and stress free
and just wait it out.

No one is being 'nasty'. The simple truth
of life is this: If you do not wish to
become pregnant and you are not even grown
up enough to talk to your parents about
pregnancy, you NEED TO USE BIRTH CONTROL!
Birth control is free at planned
parenthood, why on earth doesn't that get
utilized more? Crazy.

sweetie at 14, you don't need to be
talking to another 14 year old about
anything like pregnancy. You need a
mature adult to guide u though this. It
is very early to tell. It's good that
your scared because you can learn from
this. Your lucky if your JUST pregnant,
you have to consider aids, and all the
other std's out there. but yea, if you
really don't want any part of "pregnant"
right now...take an after pill, it's
bettter than an abortion. Take it from
me. I have a 13 - 14- and 16 year old
DAUGHTERS. good luck sweetie, and be
more careful next time.

Th eway i see it is if you don't want a
baby then use protection, there are only a
small amount of people who get pregnant
while using protection so believe it or
not it's worth using it. Also another
thing i think, not everyone may agree with
this but anyway this is what i think: If
you're too embarassed about your parents
knowing you're having sex then don't have
sex, my parents knew, they wern't happy
about it but atleast they knew what was
going on

Sex is an adult decision, yes it may be
fun, or prove to your boyfriend you love
him or whatever peer pressure may be
involved. BUT agreeing with Ingi...the
results, and consequences of sex are
severe and adult decisions. If you are not
even woman even to face your parents and
be like "hey I know I am 14 but truth be
told I am sexually active and grounded or
not you cant really stop me---i need BC"
then you shouldnt even be having sex...
If grounded is still a technique in your
life you shouldnt be having sex.
If having a job, license, being legal isnt
in youre scenerio.. then yeah...
But if you choose to go agianst the odds,
please get on a form of BC.

It makes me sad to see all of these young
girls losing their virginity so early.
Some of them are younger than my little
sister and that scares me!

It is sad, and I doubt many of them even
enjoy the sex they are having. All of
that risk and they get nothing out of it.
Why do they do it? Just to have a
boyfriend?

You need to wait until you miss your
period (if you do) then test

Was it one day ago when you had
unprotected sex for the first time or have
you been having regular unprotected sex
with him?
If it was only a day ago and you do not
want to be pregnant then you should look
into getting the morning after pill as it
can be taken up to 72 hours after sex
(some brands can be longer) or you can
have an IUD fitted up to 5 days after
unprotected sex as emergency
contraception.
You would not be able to tell this early
whether or not you are and will have to
wait until the time of your period to
test.
If you are not pregnant but wish to
continue having sex (or there is a
possibility it will happen again, although
at 14 I would strongly consider looking
into why you don't wish to wait to have
sex) then you need to sort some birth
control out

I did not know about the IUD as a back
up/emergency contraception idea. That is
EXCELLENT! Thanks for that info.

I WISH they gave them out like candy where
I live, I practically had to BEG them to
give me ONE. That was two years ago and I
just don't think they liked me cause my
friend got a bag full a week before I
went.
