There are a lot of things to do to make sure that you don't get pregnant.  Make sure you use a condom and to be even more secure get on birth control and in the even that your not on birth control and the condom breaks then make sure you take the morning after pill (but this shouldn't be taken all the time).

fyi bogey there is no medical evidence to support that the menopause comes sooner if ur on the pill i think its the best method of contraception to begin with its safe and easy to use and if you remember to take it its nearly 100% effective in preventing pregnancy and lets face it in this day in age whos gonna wanna resort to abstinence???\nits great that your mums going to the doctors with you because if you have any problems or worries afterwards you can ask her to help and also dont be embarrased to talk to your doctor your not the 1st person thats asked to go on the pill they prob get hundreds of people a year asking...so if you have any worries ask them they know best!!!\nalso i think your boyfriend will love and respect you more for being so mature about family planning!!! good luck!!!

Do use backup contraception till you start your second pack of pills.  AND remember birth control pills do NOT protect against sexually transmitted diseases or HIV/AIDS.  Please be safe!

if you didnt use a condom, then you could get pregnant even at age 13. You can always find the nearest free clinic and get yourself checked if you are worried or miss your period. If you are worried about your parents finding out then call the clinic and ask about their confidentiality policy when it comes to someone in your situation.

In this case, you'd be strarting as if you never used the pill before. Usually the package has it all spelled out. You can start on the period, or you can start at random time BUT you'll HAVE to use a back-up method for that cycle. That means, paying for condoms. Might as well pay the full price for pills and do it right and not worry about it.

Even though your very young, and I honestly do not encourage you to have sex yet, the answer to your question is;\n\nYES, Always wear a condom.\n\nEven though you both claim to be monogamous, (With No Other Guys) Nowadays, You must be EXTREMELY Careful. Wear a condom, use alot of lube, and go slow, until your able to handle it. If your not ready, do not be afraid to Say So. \n\nHave fun babe, and be safe.

Well, what kind of 18 year old are you?!? I cant believ you don't know this stuff before?!?! \nAnywayz, 1) girls bleed cuz there hymen breaks\n2) just get a bed, a condom and don't forget the girl\n3) To avoid having a baby is something called birth control. you can use condoms, or she can take The Pill.. or any other way (but mostly, those two are most common).\n4) you can learn about sex from SCHOOL (if you went to one) or just look up some websites using yahoo search.\n\nbtw, your weird and freaky..

hey, just wanted to make sure you got this next message, so I'm putting it here, rather than adding a comment to your latest Q, and risk you missing it\n\nI dig that you're secure in your decision.  I'm even more happy that you're 17, and that you waited this long.  \nThere are things, though, that you still need to consider.  I speak from experience here....\nPlease do whatever you can to protect yourself from ruining your life at this point.  If you're not using any sort of birth control, then I strongly advise that you do it right away.  If you get yourself a daily pill, it will take a month to take full effect, so use protection or slow it down until then.\nDon't get so wrapped up in your relationship with this guy that you lose yourself.  When I was your age I was SO in love, and I ended up with a beautiful little girl, an "incomplete" education, and years of heartache, healing, and swearing I would never get married again.  All my friends had kids - IN HIGH SCHOOL - some got married, some got around.\nPLEASE, whatever you do, or whatever comes of this relationship, ALWAYS remember that you need to live for YOU, and DO for YOU.  Finish high school.  Go to college.  Get a job, and make it a career.  Do whatever you have to do not to lose yourself along the way.\nI wish you the best of luck  :-)

i think you should go to the doc, and ask, but come on for being so young, and having your whole life ahead of you, have him wear a condom, dont put yourself in the position, teehee

It is entirely possible.You can go to your doctor for an emergency contraceptive within the first five days,but it is unpleasant.There are side effects,like feeling nauseous and crampy.However, it sure as heck beats the pain of childbirth and the subsequent stress of raising a child you aren't prepared to raise.It is NOT the same as abortion, because the emergency contraceptive pills prevent the egg and sperm cell from forming a zygote,which is a fetilized egg and the beginning of the fetus.I would also suggest getting on birth control a.s.a.p.,and make him use a condom if you intend to continue to have sex.And get tested for std's.

i think you need to go back on the pill if your still active, but either way you need to use a condom, and most of all go to your doc, becuase each case is different, teehee

Definatly we can be trusted to take it, why? because well... if a guy is even considering taking those pills he obviously does not want a child. And therefore could be trusted to take the pills (now there are two types of trust i suppose, the first is that I think it is safe to assume a guy won't INTENTIONALLY not take the pills in order to get a lady pregnant).  Now can he be trusted to remember to take the pill? well i would say probably, it depends on the guy, I know that if I was not ready to have a child and was having unprotected sex i would remember to take the damn pill.  However that could just be me.

If you don't want to wear a condom, only have sex in a long term committed relationship in which both of you have been tested and you are 100% positive that she isn't cheating and that she is also on the pill.\n\nOtherwise, abstinence is always 100% fool-proof.\n\nIf you don't like either of these options, there are extra sensitive condoms out there.  They are thin to give you that added feeling but protect too.  Check out the web or go browsing the aisles (an adult shop has a lot of varieties) for different options.

to be on the safe side you should go get a pregnancy test.\nThe pull out method is not a succesful form of birth control as a small amount of sperm leaks out even before a man ejaculates.\nYou should always use condoms to prevent pregnancy and also protect against sexual transmitted infections.

BEST way to prevent pregnancy = don't have sex (abstinence)!\nHowever, if you do have sex:  \n1.Condom together with spermacide = best protection from STD's and prevents pregnancy, too\n2.Birth control pill - for woman (most effective)\n3.Vaginal ring - inserted into woman and stays there for three weeks (very effective, but some men complain they can feel it)\n4.DepoProvera Shot - given to woman (many bad side effects)\n5.New evidence shows the patch is not good\n6.Diaphragm - inserted into woman just prior to intercourse\n\nCondom is the only way to protect from STD's!

You should be okay if you've been taking it consistantly. You took it as soon as you remembered. If you don't get your period this month, take a pregnancy test anyways. Birth control does NOT harm early pregnancy or cause abortions so, if you do find yourself pregnant and do decide to continue the pregnancy you do not have to worry about taking the pills without knowing you were pregnant. Also, if you find yourself continuing to forget your pill, perhaps because of your busy schedule. You should see your doctor about other forms of hormonal birth contorl such as the Ortho-evra patch, the Nuva Ring or the Depo-provera shot. Good luck!

His peircing should not make the condoms break if they are rounded not sharp. Like you'd want a sharp piercing in you anyways! So, it should be okay. If you are worried about STI's make sure you are both tested before you start having sex with your boy. Be in the room when the doctor gives him his results! Some men do lie about these things.\n\nLike everyone else said, you can have sex anytime while on birth control, that is after the first 7 or 14 days. (austrualian pamplets say 14 days and north american pamplets say 7) If you are taking any other medication such as antibitiotics, epilespy meds/mood stabilisers or using herbal medication like St. Johns Wort remember to use back up contraception. These medications do reduce the effectiveness of the pill. Also, it's debated whether or not being overweight reduces the effectiveness so, if you are, contunue to use condoms until you want to get pregnant.
