Hey yall. I know that this is proably asked alot and I know that yall aren't doctors and can't for sure tell me..but I'm only 17 and I'm scared. I've been having sex with my boyfriend and I was worried that I was pregnant from having some of the symptoms, o and im an idiot because we never use protection. So last night when I thought I had my period I was happy, but it was very light, and it was only light pinkish and brown spotting and only saw when I used the r/r, so that got me even more scared cause I know thats a sign of implantation bleeding, but then the next day(today) it was a lil heavier, but not by much, but it was a deeper red. But since that was kinda like having a period even though mine are usually pretty heavy, I guess I was just wondering if that happens with any1 else when theyr'e having their period. because I have never gotten the spotting b4. I am so sorry for bit bein so long, but thanx to any1 who responds!

Hi,
You really, really, really need to see a doctor.
No protection in sex can lead to possibly serious diseases, and some not so serious.
Even with protection, it is not a 100% guarantee against diseases and pregnancy. Condom and pill manufacturers' will tell you that.
I am sure others will answer you, in regards to the symptoms you are having, but I really suggest seeing a doctor. You never know who your boyfriend has had sex with before, if he has.
I do hope everything is OK.

At least in this area there are health departments and many womens groups that offer clinics that do testing, not only for being pregant but also for a entire range of sexual transmitted illness ( even a larger worry than a baby comming)

Now you know why you should not be having unprotected sex, never do it untill you are wanting a baby and then know the partner not transmitting any disease.

Not the fairly tale role the movies show.

I have been pregnant before I was only just 18yrs old. Unfortunately we were only using condoms (I was not on the pill) the condm spli as a result pregnant. At the time I was so young and believed my ex that there was no other choice but to abort it. Being older now I would do things so differently.

What your describing may not mean you are pregnant but if you have never had problems before then perhaps you should do a home pregnacy test with a friend if you are too scared to go to the docs. That what I did. Then I told my boyfriend and then together we told my parents and then his. Then you can go from there.

Pease please note in furture to use protection. Make an appoinment to get the Pill. It's really important. I am so careful these days - but only because I made the mistake and learnt from it. Please let us know what happens and keep me posted. If you want to chat on a more private level feel free to private messge me.

First, welcome to the forum.
Second, see a doctor - scared or not, you need to also find out if you did not catch any disease from this guy. Third, I'd drop him, since he did not respect you enough to use a condom, and who knows how much experience he's had.. I hope that everything works out, one way or the other, depending on your choice, but also hope you've learned your lesson without having to pay for it for the rest of your life. Sex can be a wonderful thing if we take it on responsibly, especially with all the diseases you can get. Please take good care of your body as it's the only one you have, and men should respect your wish for being safe.

Wish you all the best, and please keep us posted.

The word boyfriend is written together for a reason, and a 'friend' should show respect, if not he's just a selfish 'boy'.

Hi,
I was wondering how did you engage in sex without precaution when you are only 17 years. You are living in an era of unknown and drastic diseases. You should have taken care of yourself before committing unprotected sex with a boyfriemd.
However what ever happened is happened. Now try to find out the right way to get out from trouble. There are plenty of clinics and you can get it checked. I dont think you are pregnant but it is possible as well. Go and see a good doctor and let her find out what is it. It could be some sort of infection. No need of getting nervous now. Get one of your closest friends go to your nearest clinic and get the experts opinion as quick as possible.

Hello everyone, I have been on-line for 3 days now trying to find some answers. In hearing everyones stories some things are clear. I am trying to determine if I am experiencing implantation bleeding or am I pregnant. I am 32 yrs old. I have been trying for a year now to get Preg. In Aug I started my period on 8-10 lasting 5 days. One night I experienced cramping and immediately became nausious with the cramping and around 8-25 I started bleeding again lightly I was nervous so I went to the hospital and they told me the test was negative and they did not see anything wrong it could have been old blood from my period since it wasn't much bleeding. In Septemeber I took a HPT and it was Neg. Since then I have been getting what I think is a period every month so I didn't think anything of it. It is now Jan and I have noticed that not only have I gained weight but my stomach is growing and I have a line down my stomach that wasn't there before. I haven't experienced having sore BB's or anything at one point I was very tired napping when I came home from work, lots of gassy like feelings and like stomach growls and now I am having trouble sleeping at night. i did make an appt to see my GYN tommorrow. I have two other children and I have never experiebced this before. Could I be pregnant?

I did the same thing not to long ago and my dr. said that it might be a thyroid problem. In the future I hope that this scare helps you remember that it's not only you that you need to worry about with std's it your future children too. Most std's can cause birth defects and even stillbirths and miscarrages. The worst might even make you sterile. thats not even mentioning aids or hep. Please be more careful in the future.

Hi DeeDi, welcome to the forum. Please, since your body is the only one you'll have, start listening to it and by all means - when in doubt -see your doctor (that's the golden rule for us women). You might not have the same symptoms as you other pregnancies as each one is different so check out some of the sites I listed on this thread - they'll help you too. But you really should have seen a doc already due to risk of infections and a toxoplasmosis test with all the pets in the neighborhood or maybe even at home. The safer you are, the better for you and your family. Some ladies are lucky and don't get morning sickness, but there is a risk of ectopic pregnancy and/or other serious things wrong and you don't want to take any chances. Hope your visit comes out OK, and please keep us posted. I just noticed that the links are not on this thread, so I will add them for all here, just in case:
Check out the following sites, they will help you thru this a little more to
reassure if you are.
