Underage Pregnancies...Mistake with Birth Control Pills Posted: 11-06-07 16:12pm
I'm 17 and have been actively having sex
with my 18 year old boyfriend since
January...We've been lucky so far in the
sense that I haven't been pregnany. Now,
however, I'm really worried. I'm on
birthcontrol and I recently started a new
pack. The day (sunday) I was supposed to
start...the pharmacy was closed and I
couldn't get a hold of them...thus...I
took two pills at my regular time on
Monday night. Then a few days later, I
made the mistake of thinking my pills were
in my purse and left them at school and
was caught in the same predicament. In
that week we've had sex three times...two
times we used a condom...and once we
didn't (but we used the withdrawal)...so
could i possibly be pregnant? I've been
really paranoid lately..and I don't know
what I would do if I were to get pregnant.
Abortions in michigan are illegal without
parent permission and I really don't want
to tell my parents if I had to go through
that....any advice?

withdrawl doesnt mean anything ond does
not protect you from pregnancy
yes you could be pregnant
if you didnt want to take that chace you
shouldnt have had sex when you knew you
messed your pills up
take a test when you miss your period if
you think your preg

Wait to see if you are pregnant
before worrying about it.

No, the only way to know is to wait until
you get a missed period and test, unless
you go to the doctor and request a blood
test, but even that wouldn't be accurate
until a few days after implantation (and
usually doctors won't do one unless you
get a positive pregnancy test or miss your
period). I know waiting sucks, but it's
the only thing you can do right now other
than take your pills normally and use back
up contraception (something other than the
withdrawal method please) until you get
your period and start your new pack.

ok i understand now that i have to wait
and find out...but i just recently started
spotting (and i still have a week and a
half until im supposed to get my period)
...i've never spotted before in my
life...i googled it and i found soo many
different answers i don't know what to
believe. Does spotting have anything to
do with implantation? my friend told me
you couldn't spot and be pregnant...but i
dont know if i believe her...im sooo
panicked! plz ..any information you have..

Birth control pills can cause spotting.
Rough sex can cause spotting. Normal mid
cycle can cause spotting.
Honestly, you will need to wait. It
literally could be anything.
