I am 16 and I have been with my boyfriend for 2 years, we’ve been sexually active for about a year and a half. I went on birth control almost immediately after we started having sex (we used condoms before, but my gynecologist said I would be fine being on just the pill for birth control). I’ve used it perfectly since, never missed. But today I got the tiniest bit of pink blood when I wiped, and I believe it is probably implantation bleeding.

I really don’t know what to do. My boyfriend and I just talked a month ago about possibly using condoms too because he was afraid of this... but I assured him birth control pills are very effective and we’d be fine. I’m not ready for a baby, I know I would choose not to have the child if I am pregnant but I’m also terrified for the stress of that. My mom and I have the relationship where we can talk about this, but I’m worried about telling my boyfriend. I know he would freak out. And if his parents found out, he would not be able to see me again.

Of course there is the possibility that I’m not pregnant but I don’t know... the bleeding I had today was textbook implantation bleeding. I’m scared, I can’t take a test until tomorrow... And I have nobody to talk to about this because I don’t want to tell my boyfriend in case it’s a false alarm because he will freak out. I’m trying to be strong, I always knew this was a possibility with sex, but I have always been 100% responsible with my birth control...
