My boyfriend and I had sex everyday for a week, when I knew my period was about to start. The day my period was supposed to start we had sex again that night, and feel asleep right after. I woke up 2 hours later because I had started my period. I went and took care of it by using a tampon and what not. I was a little surprised when I went in to the bathroom because it was very light, my period is always heavy, but I didn't think much about it. So I went back to sleep. My period stayed really light, and only lasted 3 days. My period always last for 6 days. It has been 2 weeks since my period ended, and I have noticed a lot of weird differences. I get really nauseaes anddizzy around mid afternoon, I feel drained all the time, I have not been my normal happy perky self,and I have been really moody towards everyone I have had contact with. I didn't start to think about pregnancy until the other day, because I thought there is no way I can be pregnant, my boyfriend does not *** inside me. He pulls out, but I was talking to a close friend about her baby and she said she got pregnant when the guy pulled out too. I started to look up if that was possible and I learned about "precum". I'm now having a lot of discharge. I told myself I would stay calm until I got to my next period, but it is very difficult to not worry. Please tell your thoughts.

How old are you? Are you seriously telling us that you thought the pull out method was an actual form of birth control? (head-desk)

If you are having sex, especially unprotected sex, then yes you can be pregnant. Only a home pregnancy test or a blood test done by a doctor will tell you if you are pregnant.

I am sorry to be harsh here, but if you are not educated on sex, it leads me to believe you are not old or mature enough to be having sex, especially un protected sex. Please consider waiting until you are of legal age and have been educated on the subject, and on top of all else, use protection!

I'm 16, I know I'm no sex expert, that's why I am asking. I am of legal age where I am from. I don't think the pull out method is a form of birth control, I meant that statement as an how often does that really happen statement and from my research I did apparently it happens a lot. I am educated in the subject, I wasn't when I first became sexually active but I am now. I'm not like most other 16 year old who go off use drugs party and don't really care who they sleep with. I am a 16 year old who has been through a lot, and when I come on 1 of these websites to ask for help I don't expect people to start telling me I'm immature and I don't know this and I don't know that, I get enough of that bs from my mother! I join this website because I am freaking out and I don't know where else to turn to. If your going to comment and just say I'm irresponsible and I don't know anythiing and I'm stupid for not using for protection or I'm too young to be having sex, then don't bother, because its after the point now! I need some support or some kind words

RissaDear,

Aurora_Bell gave you the info anyone would. Could you be pregnant?. of course you can. You have been having sex so pregnancy is obviously going to be possible.
As she said, the only way for you to know would be to try a pregnancy test.

The statement about you not knowing enough to be making wise decisions regarding sex was accurate. You even said it yourself that you weren't educated before you became sexually active but you are now and that you weren't aware of the risks involved with using the withdrawal method (which can be fairly effective when used properly) until you did some research.

Certainly you can see that it would have been a wiser decision to research that sort of information before you decided to engage in sex. There is no doubt that many young people, and too many adults for that matter, do not give a great deal of thought to the possibility of pregnancy until they have a scare.

With that being said, what's done is done. So now you will have to try a test and see what results you get. Your period may have just been off due to the recent sexual activity, that sometimes throws things off, but of course you would want to rule out or confirm a pregnancy since you are having other possible symptoms.

Try a pregnancy test following the directions exactly. If negative, wait and see what happens when your next period would be due and test at that time if need be.

If you aren't pregnant, and plan to continue having sex, discuss birth control options and use protection every time as there is no 100% safe time.

Do come back and read through other posts and ask questions so that you can become even better informed.
