It means that you could be pregnant. When was your last period due?

Can having sex for the first time delay it?

Then you are probably more than 2 weeks past your due date, so you should take an HPT.

No having sex for the first time will not delay your period, but the stress from first time sex and worrying about pregnancy can.

HPT Home Pregnancy Test

Take a pregnancy test using first morning urine. You mentioned that he may not have pulled out. New flash, the pull out method is called trying to conceive. There's more than enough sperm in early fluids (which are always present during sex) to get you pregnant. The pull out method is not considered a form of birth control.

I know it just happened:'( I cannot have a baby my parents will kill me. I'm so scared.

Actually, yes, you can have a baby. What your parents will do has no bearing on whether you can have a baby. You're a sexually active menstruating female, so pregnancy can happen any time you have sex, even if you use 3 or more forms of birth control, it's always a possibility when you have sex.

So, if you feel you're not ready for a child, that means you're not ready for sex.

I didn't say that. I said that pregnancy is a definite possibility, and that you'll have to test to find out.

I can't tell you if you're pregnant, I can only tell you that there's a good chance.

Would I be wrong for getting an abortion? I know it's my fault. But I can't do this right now.

That s a personal decision that you have to make on your own. However you should get counseling before making that decision. But you don't jave to make that decision until you find out if you are pregnant.

But if being pregnant is an issue for you, then keep your pants on.

Abortion is a personal choice, one you have to make yourself. No one can tell you if it's right for you, or if you should do it. If you are pregnant I would suggest looking at all the options, abortion, adoption, and keeping the baby. None of the choices available are easy ones to make.

But let's find out if you're pregnant first, before you start planning on what to do with a baby that may not even exist.

Let me know what happens. If you are pregnant we can help you through it, no matter what choice you make. I'm pro choice, which means that if you decide to have an abortion, I won't give you a hard time about it.

But you really do need to find out if you're pregnant. If abortion is what you choose, there's a small window of time in order to do it. Most doctors will not do an abortion past the 12 week mark.

I apologize. I didn't mean to imply that you are promiscuous. But you do need to think about the consequences of having sex BEFORE you do it, not after.
