Ok, so this is the most different feeling I have ever gotten around a period. I am shameful to say that the last 2 weeks ago I had what seemed like unprotected sex with someone I used to date a longg time ago. This was a one night stand which I neverr do but I was alittle under the influence. You don't have to tell me I was being unresponsible. He actually used plastic rap as protection. What guy doesnt have a condom? anyway...I remember at a point where he didnt use it(did he take advantage of me or pull out?) I counted back to my last period and realized,I ovulate between those days. I was wondering if it is really easy to get pregnant on just ONE time of unprotected sex. I hear from so many women,"Oh,we're trying..." I cannot be pregnant because I do not believe in an abortion since I am Christian. But I know I would have to since I do not talk to him and this would ruin my life since I am only 20 yrs old. I cried about having to make that decision. I took a pregnancy test yesterday(the one where it can possibly detect 4 days before missed period) and came out negative. But today there was slight blood and brown spotting what I thought was a period but I usually get them heavy. my boobs have never been this big and sensitive. I'm worried out of my mind... Do you possibly think I am pregnant? And when should I take the next test?

Myth

There is always a possibility of pregnancy. Plastic wrap is no form of b/c because of the microscopic openings in it are big enough to allow sperm to pass through. I don't think that it's just the mans responsibility to have the condom. If women want equal rights then we have to have equal responsibility. I would wait a week to take another test. Stressing will also affect your period and sore boobs is not just a sign of pregnancy, it also happens when your period comes on too. I would just like to add, that your body is your resposibility and no one elses. Buy some condoms if your going to have sex. Heck buy them anyway just so he doesn't have an excuse... I always carried a few with me. I gave away alot too, I would rather my friends were protected than not. Oh, I would also get checked for STD's too. If he's done this "taking advantage" of you, who else has he taken advantage of.

It is just as easy getting pregnant ONE time of unprotected sex as it is multiple. Having sex just once unprotected does not mean that you will not get pregnant. That is just a fallacy, as well as the "pull-out" method. You can still get pregnant if he pulls out. You hear about these women who are "trying" and they are the ones who are having a hard time for one health reason or another. Just cause you had sex with one person once does not mean you cannot get pregnant. Many young girls believe that they cannot get pregnant the first time they have sex and that is the reason we have children in 8th grade who are pregnant. It does not matter how many times you have sex, you are always at risk for pregnancy.

The bleeding you experienced could likely be implantation bleeding, rarely does sex interrupt your period.

I know you say I don't have to say anything about you being irresponsible, but you have to be able to take responsibility for your actions. I am a firm believer that if you are ready to have sex, you should be ready to be a mother. Sorry to say it, but those are the consequences of sex, protected or unprotected. Even the pill is not 100% effective.
