So It's Too Early to Tell... Posted: 03-11-07 20:49pm
I'm a fifteen year old female who is yet
to have sex. About a week and a half ago
my seventeen year old boyfriend and i were
fooling around humping. He wore a condom,
however when I moved on top my sliding
motion cause us to lose the condom. He
didn't enter me, but he had precum on his
penis. We humped for another good five
minutes and although I had my underwear
on, it was only a lacy black thong, not
much in the protection department. Laying
on our sides I finished him off with a
hand job and he shot farther than we
expected, coating my thigh and my
underwear. So my question is, what're the
chances? I was about midway between
periods.

Honey,I'm happy your boyfriend wore a
condom,but in all likeyhood you shouldn't
be pregnant,but going on birth control
''just in case is a good idea,there are
shots in the hip,once every 3 months,they
are cheaper than the pill usually,and are
almost immediately effective where the
pill needs AT LEAST 30 days minimum to be
effective, ask your doctor,or call planned
parenthood,you are only 15 & 17,as
cute as babies are,they change your life
forever,in the chance you and your
boyfriend don't last forever,it is never a
good idea to take the risk,though I am
thrilled to hear your boyfriend already
showed responsibility by getting condoms!
BUT,have an additional birth control
method,I am a mom of 4,but have a ''condom
baby'' of my own,and let's face it,you
won't be a virgin forever,so get another
method so you and your B/F don't have to
worry,you will resent and blame each other
possibly in future if you get pregnant at
a young age,I speak from experience,my
oldest was born when I was 20,and I was on
my own at before I was 22,she(my daughter)
has never received 1 penny child support,I
have never regretted having her and was
blessed to get him out of my life,but she
was a ''pill'' baby,and that's why I say
to always use 2 forms of birth
control,you're young,experience life
1st,then have babies,you need to go for a
pap test to rule out many things(virgin
or not) and so they can figure out what
birth control is best for you. feel free
to send a private message to me,I will
give any information you may be too scared
to ask your doctor or parent,My girl is
almost 18 and is a virgin as well,she has
been dating her boyfriend a LONG time.
As for being pregnant,you should be
fine,but remember there are 50-80 MILLION
sperm in ejaculate,it only takes one,I
regularily talk to community teenagers
OPENLY and honestly,there is no shame
involved,it is part of life,so send me a
message and ask all the questions you are
seeking ,though not a M.D., have medical
knowledge and will point you towards a M.D
if I can not answer appropriately,in the
mean time, ''play safe'' with this
issue,thanks for being responsible enough
to ask a question and seek help,I am very
proud of you and the step you have
taken,all my best!

I don't think you have anything to worry
about. The chances of getting pregnant
that way are pretty slim.
In the meantime, you should consider
getting on birth control. If you do
choose birth control, steer clear of the
shot because it has been linked to bone
density loss in almost all who take it and
weight gain and many women have difficulty
regaining their fertility to have a baby
afterwards.
If you are consistent and can take the
pill daily, that is probably the way to
go. Actually, the pill is effective
immediately assuming it is begun on the
first day of your period. If you start it
the Sunday after your period starts, it
takes a week to be effective.
You should look into going to Planned
Parenthood if you don't want to talk to
your mom about seeing a gynecologist and
getting on the pill. They use a sliding
scale and you can get pills for very cheap
or even free and they don't need parental
consent.

I had know problem with fertility after
the ''shot'', had 2 pregnancies after,one
being a blighted ovum,and my 3 year old
condom baby! The pill needs more than a
week as well,my 17 yr old is a
confirmation of that! All information is
in the ''pill'' pamphlet ,it does state a
recommended amount of time to be
effective. It is now advised that the pill
is to be taken within the same hour each
day for the most effect,and some
prescriptions will come with a sticker
''did you forget something?'' to put on a
mirror for an easy reminder.As for weight
gain,not in all cases,myself and 2 family
members all lost weight-me-152 down to 109
while on the shot,though wouldn't
recommend it as a weight loss/gain option.
You will need to see a gynecologist for
the best options,some woman can not use
the shot or the pill,the pill carries
health risks as well,also have some family
history as well.And with the shot,you will
not have regular periods,but may have
prolonged periods(mine wouldn't stop) so
it is a tough call,best left to the gyno.
Good luck,and hope everything works
out,see if your boyfriend is willing to go
to the dr with you,it is to protect you
both,and DON'T FORGET THE CONDOMS!
