Im having unprotected sex with my "boyfriend" and were using the pull out method.. Sometimes.

For about a year in a half we have been having sex and I not once have become pregn. Im thinking I can't get pregnant
Not that I want a baby right now, but this time my period only lasted three days[11/8/11-11/11/11]

The first day looked like a normal period then ,the second an third was really light. The third it stopped completely.

Im just wondering could I be pregnant.

Even last month my period was really light an lasted a few days. This isn't normal. The only symptoms I have are back aches, I can't hold my pee, I eat double now, moody and tiredness.
Please give me some reasonable answers.

You have been having unprotected sex for over a year. YES, you could be pregnant. The only way to know if to take a pregnancy test. If you choose to make adult decisions as a minor, like having unprotected sex, you have to handle the consequences like an adult as well. This means that you need to go and buy a pregnancy test, or make an appointment to take one and see about using birth control if you don't want to be a teenage parent.

Understandable. Thank you... I said my period just went off today.but a couple hours later it returned. Still very light? This is really weird. Would you possibly know why this is happening?

First, the "pull out method" is not a method at all. Its equivalent to no method at all.

ANY time you have intercourse you risk pregnancy. Using some form of birth control reduces the risk, but doesn't eliminate it.

Why you are having an unusual period we can't diagnose. You need to consult your physician.

Agree, there are lots of sperm in all the early fluid, so "pull out" when he does not forget only reduces sperm. I will assume you and he are trying to have a baby, and you want to be a mother. Since you are not using any forms of protection at all.

Yes this is signs of pregnancy ( but also signs of several other infections) So you do a HPT and check, also if it is negative and no period, you wait about a week and try it again.

If still no, time for a medical check.

But I'm certainly not trying to have a baby. In fact I will start using protection because I most certainly believe he's trying to get me pregn.because I know he wants a baby. So thanks you guys I will most def.wrap up now or just simply stop. (: I have better things to do then walk around with a baby on
My hip.

As for as condoms, even they have a 3 to 10 percent ( some people say more) failure rate, so if you are going to be sexually active, consider birth control pills and condoms both.

Smart of you Jasmine to protect yourself since you know he possibly isn't interested in doing so. You may need to reconsider the relationship if you feel he does not have your best interest at heart. You are the one who would bear the majority of the responsibility of having and raising a child. Odds are great that he won't even remain in the picture at some point.

If you continue to have sex with him, remember as well that if he uses a condom, it needs to be put in place before he enters you at all. Many people make the mistake of engaging in some foreplay, that includes some penetration, and then they put the condom on just before ejaculation.

As Fr_Chuck suggestion, use two forms of birth control if you are going to continue to have sex. Even then, however, pregnancy can still be possible. Abstinence is the only way you can prevent a pregnancy 100% of the time.

Your not telling me anything wrong. Thank you. Your advice will definitely be put to use. Ill give it a another week or so to test again because I'm still spotting brown on an off. But after this if I test negative I will definitely be more careful, I have a future ahead of me that I wouldn't want to mess up because I was careless. I appreciate all the comments that were given to me.

Buy a pregnancy test, e.p.t's work good and they are not expensive. You can find them at any pharmacy. Good Luck.
