Hey...New to this but I had a question no
one seems to be able to answer.....Im
looking to become "active" sometime in the
future and I dont really want to get
pregnant but the thing is I dont have a
regular cycle so does that mean I have a
less chance of getting pregnant if and
when I decide to become active?

If you are looking to become active in the
near future, I would make an appointment
with your doctor asap to get on some form
of birth control. Also, always use a
condom .Every time you have sex. Here
are some stats you may not be aware
of...
1 in 4 people has genital herpes
1 in 5 people have chlamydia
close to 80% of sexually active people
have the virus that causes genital warts
and cervical cancer.
Please be .Very careful.
Good luck and please don't rush into
anything.

I'm glad that you're looking for advice
before becoming sexually active rather
then afterwards asking the chance of you
becoming pregnant. I'm still a virgin,
but I will say that you should wait till
you really love the person you're with.
Don't just jump at the first opportunity.
Since you said you were a teen, realize
that you have plenty of years to be
sexually active. Wait until you're
ready. :)

If your periods are irregular, then your
fertile time will be harder to recognize.
In your situation I would be extra careful
because you may have no idea when you're
ovulating. So it won't necessarily mean
it will be more difficult for you to
become pregnant. But I would take the
advice of the other posters - don't rush
into anything. If you meet someone who is
not willing to wait, then he is not for
you:)
also - there is a website that I really
liked to keep track of my cycles before I
got pregnant. It tells you when you are
due for your next period, your next
ovulation date, & more. And it's
free. It is mymonthlycycles.Com
hope this helps:)
