This has never happened.  I usually work like clockwork and thought it might regulate me.  Drawbacks?  How long before unprotected sex is safe if I don't wait to start them?

You can start on birth control pills whenever you want. However, here's how the intial protection works. If you start the pill on the first day of your period, you will have protection from day one. However, if you start at any other time in your cycle, you should use another form of contraception for the first seven days. This simply has to do with the way the pill works, in conjunction with how your cycle works.

For me personally, yes. i could not do it in this day and age! to scary with all the stuff you can get. if a person can have ONE one night stand they will have LOTS of them. that's a lot of possible STDs. Babies are another possibility...then you never see the other person except in there offspring!   if you are that horny....that is what a vibrator is good for!

Seriously, I don't know why other posters need to be so negative. CONGRATS on making the smart decision of using protection--that was definitely a good move. Condoms, if used effectively (which it sounds like you did), are 99% effective in preventing pregnanacy.  They are also very effective in preventing STDs, including HIV, but if either of you had cuts or lesions down there (that was outside of the condom) then there is a possibility that an infection could be transferred. If you're worried, I'd see a doctor. :)

anytime you have sex with no protection you have a 100% chance of getting pregnant!! Wait to see if you miss your next cycle, most likely you will have a bun in the oven!!

Have you had unprotected sex?  Yes, you might be pregnant.

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.

No one can tell you that.  We are all individuals!  Some girls start early, some take longer.  You are still young enough not to worry about it, just enjoy not having that to coipe with every month, its not fun!

Protection is not foolproof. If you should have started on the 18th, the chances of you being preggers are pretty high since you had sex 10 days before. If you're going to be screwing around, at least learn more about your body first. And remember, the only safe sex is masturb ation.

If your asking than your not ready.  Don't do anything.  Trust me, there is time enough later when your more comfortable with the idea and the responsibility that sex brings.

In a word NO; but unprotected sex is stupid, not only are you risking unwanted pregnancy (and the possibility of some very nasty responsibility expenses) you have to remember that you are also having unprotected sex with every other guy that went there before you...YUK\n\nUntil the partners really know each other, are tested, and know that both are true to each other (this is called a monogamous relationship) the only smart thing to do is safe sex with a condom.\n\nThere has been some press lately about circumcision reducing the risk of HIV AIDS infection. This study is still very contested and even if is to prove true, it ONLY REDUCES IT DOESN'T PREVENT the possibility of contacting AIDS. Only safe sex and using condoms (Oh, and abstinence too! Not fun I know.) can protect.\n\nThere is a disadvantage for circumcised guys in using condoms because they already have lost so much sensitivity. I know, I have never been able to orgasm using a condom, except for the time the rubber split (BTW my son just turned 30); but then I guess when the rubber split it doesn't really count as wearing one. But I was lucky I only got a kid out of it (and a mortgage and some other bs) but now days the risk are so much more severe, STDs, HPV, Herpes, HIV all are nasty and some are incurable. Herpes, for example, is not likely to kill you but it will sure make the rest of your life miserable.\n\nBe smart, be safe, have fun. Live long and prosper\n\nDon't circumcise your sons.

the conservative freaks come out of the woodwork for questions like this : )\n\na little blood, many guys are not bothered, at a place i used to work (all men) we all joked about it all the time.\n\nas for the pregnancy question - maybe, obviously the chances are lower, but it never hurts to practice safe sex.

awkward afterwords\nYou need to know the other "players" really well. How they will respond and try to be honest with yourself about how you will respond. It always sounds like a fun idea until you actually do it. I know lots of people who have done it and they all have the same experience as I did. Suddenly it feels really weird to be around these people I really loved and felt comfortable with before the trio. Also, be really conscious of STDs. Almost 90% of the sexually active population in America has an STD. Whether is be oral herpes or something more insidious like HPV where there are no symptoms in most people until they try to have a baby. It just isn't safe to play without protection  these days.

I don't think it is wrong, but it can be dangerous.  You must be gentle and slow (particularly at first) - some folks say only do it with good lubrication.  I have been told that it is very important not to have anal sex and then vagina sex right after because there is a chance of infection for the woman - though if you use a condom both times and change in between you would probably be ok.

I will tell you this much, make sure you know for sure you are ready.  If it's your first time, there is a LOT to think about in terms of consequences.  For example, are you ready to handle a kid?  Does your bf have STDs you don't know about?  Would you spend the rest of your life with this guy?  Have you talked about having sex with him?  Is he ready for the consequences?  What would happen if you DID get pregnant?  BC and condoms are somewhat trustworthy, however, I'd hate to be in that like 2% of cases where they don't work without knowing what would happen to my relationship.\n\nAnd yes, relationships CAN survive without sex.  My husband and I were virgins the day we were married, and it was so worth it.  To know that he was the only guy and I was his only girl makes it 10X more special.  There are other things you can do without actually having sex, and really, if you are close enough as a couple you don't have to have sex to have a "next level"

I had sex for the first time when i was 17..well of course everyone has their first time so do i...first time of course very excited & fun but after that i feel guilty for myself...i asked myself why i want to do this & what i gain from there....\nSex before marriage of course people call it sin,isnt it!.....\nBut overall i tell myself "its a normal thing for human being to make stupid mistake"...i guess.....actually its depends on how you think about it & how you gonna deal with your decision.............but i hope you'll not regrets it ...and to play safe..i think you should use protection so that you can avoid the 9 months matter....mightbe you just want to experience it but not for commitment yet.....;-)

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!
