Hi, I know a lot of adults may judge me because of this question, but I really do need all the help I can get. I had sex with my boyfriend a while ago, we usually use a condom, but we didn't once and I don't know if there's a possibility I could be pregnant. Some things that have been going on are I've been trying to lose weight and I cant, I don't know if that has anything to do with it, I've been light headed a lot, and now I'm bleeding but I shouldn't start my period for another week or so.. any help? Please? I'm scared :/

Oh, and I'm 17 by the way. :(

Wait until you have finished bleeding and get a pregnancy test. Do you have any free clinics nearby?

Yeah I do.. there's a planned parenthood pretty close.. is it totally free do you know?

Well when I was your age (5 years ago) it was free, but I had to pay for birth control 3 packs for 23 dollars, they also give out free condoms.

I know this is totally crazy, but what about abortions if it did come down to that..

I hate even the thought. Ahh.

Depending on what state you are in, some planned parenthood clinics will pay for an abortion-however, a doctor there could refer you to who you need to see.

Okay, thank you so much for helping me.. and I'm in California, if that's any help

Oh, well California is usually pretty lenient about those kind of things :)
I hope everything works out OK for you!

For sure, I got pregnant while I was on the pill!
You may want to speak with them about getting put on birth control, and still use condoms-you would be less likely to get pregnant.

Is there any reason you can't talk to either of your parents? (other than they might try to kill you? :) )

Haha well my mom doesn't care if I have sex, she actually asks me if I'm going to so she can put me on the pill.. but I don't really want to tell her because its awkward but I think she might put me on it soon anyway.. and how crazy, pregnant on the pill? Yeah ill definitely use both until I'm ready for that situation

Good, seriously though as awkward as it is you should just say hey mom-I'm starting to get serious with my boyfriend and I think it would be the responsible thing to do, to start taking birth control. Well I have to start getting ready to go to bed- I'm in Ohio and it's after 2am!
Later lovebug- I'll 'see' you around!
