I do have to add that if you go on birth control pills consider them to be your backup method not your primary method of birth control. You can still get pregnant while taking birth control pills. However the combination of the condom and birth control pills should keep you fairly safe.

Do not let your boyfriend talk you into having sex without a condom once you go on birth control. I actually would not even tell him. Boys can be very ignorant about certain things and yet think they know quite a lot.

Sorry just had to repeat this answer and give Glinda the credit. She is 100% correct on this issue!!

That doesn't make you ready for sex.

The best way to not get pregnant and not let your parents find out you are having sex is to stop having sex all together.

Ignorance will be your downfall...

OK well, can any girl answer this for me?
My per. Isn't due until between the 1st and the 4th normally it comes around then of every month...
Is it normal to start having cramps and stuff 1 - 2 weeks prior to it?

GlindaofOz · Sep 17, 2007, 12:25 PM

What's the "and stuff" you are experiencing.

kayyoss · Sep 17, 2007, 12:27 PM

Eh nothing actually just small cramps for right now *i just have a problem of adding and stuff at the end* but like just starting about yesterday or the other day I've been having small cramps and today its been a little worse but not very much worse... and its only happened about 4 times today... is that normal? Like its not BAD cramps that happen a few days before it.. just like small ones.

GlindaofOz · Sep 17, 2007, 12:33 PM

I don't know if I would think that was associated with your period but I would wait for J_9 to come on. She is a nursing student so she knows a lot!

It might just be some stomach troubles since you've been stressing out for the past few days.

alkalineangel · Sep 17, 2007, 12:34 PM

While no form of birth control is 100% effective, if used correctly, you should be fine. The small percentage of ineffectivity normally includes those who use it incorrectly. I also agree with Glenda however, if you are not ready to accept the consequences you need to refrain, you are terribly young. If you wish to continue this, then plesae go to your local planned parenthood and get on the pill... use this in addition to the condoms. Good luck.

**EDIT** sorry for the repeat info, I totally didn't see any posts past the first page originally... :)

Well, he used a condom but he DID not ejaculate at all.
could i still get pregnant?
i'm only 15 and im really scared. but i can't tell my parents anything :[
help?:(

There is still approximately a 3% chance of becoming pregnant. But this is among REGULAR users, not a one-time use. So the chances are even slimmer. However, at 15, if you are not ready to talk to your parents about having sex, then you probably shouldn't be having it at all. This is something that could have major ramifications on the rest of your life. Just think about it carefully before continuing down this path.

kayyoss · Sep 17, 2007, 01:03 PM

Sooo let me get things straight,
I'm fine being that he used a condom and did NOT ejaculate.
My body is acting different because I'm stressing over it.
And I'm having little cramps because my period is due soon but might be a little earlier or a couple days later because of stress?

J_9 · Sep 17, 2007, 01:05 PM

Very good EXACTLY!!

Stress does very strange things to a body. It can make you feel pregnant, make your periods late and/or lighter, etc.

Again, if you are not yet ready to be pregnant you should be using two forms of birth control as birth control is not 100% effective.

But like I asked earlier,
Is it normal for me to be having light cramps 1 - 2 weeks prior to my period which is due between the 1st and 4th of each month?

J_9 · Sep 17, 2007, 02:17 PM

Yes, it can be normal. Most women call it PMS and it can happen a week or two before a period.

kayyoss · Sep 17, 2007, 02:28 PM

K cause I normally get cramps at least a week before... its coming earlier cause of stress and nerves??

J_9 · Sep 17, 2007, 02:40 PM

It very well could be because of stress. It could be that your cycle is changing also. You are very young and your cycle is not yet structured like it will be when you are in your 20s.

kayyoss · Sep 17, 2007, 02:50 PM

:] thanks! I feel sooo much better now then what I did a few days ago.

stonewilder · Sep 17, 2007, 03:21 PM

As a safe guard for the future, if you're going to continue having sex you should go to your local health department and get on birth control. Be sure to continue using a condom though.

You still don't get the big picture. Stop having sex!
