Hey All, I Just Need Some Answers... Please Help Posted: 12-12-06 13:36pm
Hello! In the past year I have come
across these boards but I never thought of
joining, until something occured. Ok
here's the thing.. Actually its 2 things.
First off, i'm 16, my period has been
regular for a year or so and I have sex
with my boyfriend at least once a week.
We always use a condom but we have tried
the pull-out method 3 times. On the first
2, I took the pill. On the third time,
(which was a couple of weeks ago), I didnt
because we thought it was safe. However,
my period is now delayed for 6 days and
i'm really freaked out. It has never been
delayed for more than one or two days. Is
this natural? Or does it mean that im
pregnant or something??
I also wanted to ask about a friend of
mine (just something we're curious about,
it happened a couple of years ago). She
was having sex with this guy, and the
condom broke. She had recently got off
her period (it had ended about 2 days ago)
and she had the pill. 4 days later, she
had her period again, but for only a
couple of days or more (her regular period
lasts for 8 days). Does this mean that
she was pregnant and the pill helped her
to miscarry?
Thank you for your time, and please answer
because I have no one else to ask all that
stuff.. Although my mom is very
open-minded and we talk about that stuff,
I just cant even imply that I am pregnant
(if I really am...) thanks again

What "pill" do you mean?
If you mean birth control, it does not
cause miscarriages to my knowledge.
If you mean the morning-after pill, it
prevents ovulation. What that means is,
it stops your body from releasing an egg.
So when the sperm make their way up into
your reproductive system, it won't find an
egg to fertilize. The egg is what
eventually becomes a baby. The
morning-after pill does not expel an
already-formed baby.

We cant tell you if your pregnant,you
would have to buy a pregnancy test to
confirm that,or go to your ob/gyn.Im 16
too.But I have a 7 month old,and
married.Sometimes your period could be
late cause your stressin out.And by
pill,you mean the moring after pill right?
Well,im not sure if it caused her to
miscarry because what I know the baby
isn't it developed yet.

Common things that can mess up your
cycle:
1) stress
2) starting birth control
3) stopping birth control
4) switching birth control methods
5) puberty and natural horomonal changes
6) not eating enough or dieting
7) taking horomones, steroids, or other
prescription drugs
8 ) illness
why dont you read these stickies?Its there
for a reason.

As you are late for your period you can
take a pregnancy test. That is the only
way to know if you are pregnant. It's
possible that you are
pregnant because you haven't been careful
with contraception. If you want to get
pregnant then you are going the right way
about it.
Use a condom every time or go on the pill
if you trust your boyfriend does not have
any lovely diseases.
As for your friend; the morning after pill
can cause bleeding but it's not a
miscarriage.
Did I mention to use a condom every time?

Take a test.
The pull-out method is not a method,
&it's isn't "safe."
.There is still pre-cum, &it
can contain sperm.
.If you have unprotected sex,
you can &will get pregnant
eventually.
I don't know how many times .I've said
this..
All it takes is one time,
&one little sperm.

Yup, I mean the morning-after pill...
Thank you all for answering, im gonna get
a pregnancy test on friday after school...
i'm just so
irresponsible and I hate it.... I really
hate myself right now. I cant even face
my mom.
I have heard that some women miss their
periods but are not pregnant, and their
cycle goes back to normal after a while..
Is it true?
Its been 2 or 3 weeks since we had
unprotected sex. Do I have to wait more
before I take the test?

If you've missed your period, you can test
a test.
&.Yes, you're young, so your cycle is
still changing &adjusting. So it is
possible to miss periods or be late,
because your cycle isn't truly "regular"
yet.
But get a test, &take it with first
morning urine.

Test results are best if u take the test
in the morning because your urine will
have more of the pregnancy hormone in it
I don't understand why people wait to take
tests. Wouldn't you want to know asap?
I mean if she's more than a week ate, she
doesn't really need the heavily
concentrated first morning pee, it'll show
up.

One of the two tests could detect the
hormone in urine any time of the day. So
I did the first one yesterday afternoon,
and the second one today, first thing in
the morning. Thank god, they were both
negative!!! And I think i'm getting my
period tomorrow cause I get strong pains
here and there...... Thank you all for
answering my post.. You're great . I'll never try
anything without a condom from now on
(until when i'm ready to raise a kid, of
course...)
