Question

Accepted Answer

No one was rude at all. You just didn’t actually want advice, you wanted virtual hugs from internet strangers. 
What advice can we give you? You made a mistake, even though you admittedly know better, and now there might be consequences. No one can change what’s done. Being young isn’t an excuse to not take your health and body seriously. Not only could you be pregnant, you could have some kind of STD as well. Why do you value yourself so little?

Answer

Stop having unprotected sex especially if you’re not on birth control. That’s just olain irresponsible. You know the risks regardless of your age. If you cant be responsible about sex then dont have any. The pull out method is the least effective form of birth control and pre cum is real and cant still get you pregnant. Taking the plan b lowers your chance of getting pregnant but should not be used as regular birth control. Test in two weeks and stop having unprotected sex. Not much you can do until then

Answer

There’s a big chance you’re pregnant. The pull out method is really ineffective. Him finishing inside you 3 times only increased your chances. Use protection next time. Being 16 and pregnant isn’t a joke. If you’re old enough to have sex you’re old enough to buy/use condoms or birth control

Answer

I see a lot of criticism in the comments- and I agree it probably wasn’t a smart choice but that’s the past and it can’t be changed now, buy some pregnancy tests and test every few days until your next period, by then you’re probably safe. If it shows up as positive, test a couple times more (1 each day) to make sure it wasn’t chemical or a false positive, if it’s most likely positive you have a few options-
First TELL YOUR PARENTS- maybe even do this now, yes they’ll probably be upset but it’s better to get it out of the way now then have them find out some other time, ask their advice as well
if you live in a place where abortion is legal go to a planned parenthood or OBGYN to get a digital test done, if positive you then have to decide whether to keep the baby or not, think about your personal values and beliefs and make the best choice for you.
If you take abortion route get one scheduled ASAP since abortions are easier early on in pregnancy.
If you decide to keep then I would start by telling your partner since this is something you have to deal with together, and keeping a close eye on it, since pregnancy can be slightly more risky if you’re not fully grown.
If you live in a place where abortion is illegal then your options are more limited- if you really don’t want to keep the baby you could travel somewhere it is legal but that isn’t realistic right now.
Otherwise go get a digital test done as before and if positive tell partner as before. 
If it’s negative then you lucked out this time but being a teen mom is no joke- if you plan on continuing to have sex get back on birth control and use a condom!!

Answer

There’s a chance yes. That’s why you’re supposed to be responsible with sex 🤷🏼‍♀️ not much anyone can do for you

Answer

Taking plan B does mess with your period. Every time I had taken plan B my period was SUPER wack. Next time you think you’re pregnant of something And looking for advice on here I would leave your age out. People tend to get touchy with ages 😉 If it we’re someone in their 20’s they wouldnt be to judgy ya know. hope this helps and hope you get it figured out girl.

Answer

none of you all know my situation whatsoever. and a comment was made that if i hadn’t mentioned my age this would’ve never happened and i would’ve been greeted with care and kindness. but no, so AGAIN, none of you know my story, what i’ve been through. none of you have any right to bash me for my choices when all i did was ask for advice, not your own personal rude thoughts on something you have no idea abt the situation or have no room to judge and i’m sure most of the women on this app are Christian so i’d consider that to be a sin for all of you to be so rudely and judgemental, its so incredibly unnecessary and hurtful. thank you to those of you who have left positive educational comments and have been THOUGHTFUL of others current state of emotions.

Answer

Honestly girl your fine. I took a plan b and had literally deathly cramps & a “period” after. Still in April I’m 14 days late. So plan b does affect ur cycle. If u need to talk, message me!

Answer

At 16 it’s very important to keep yourself as protected as possible. Please don’t forget about STDs - some are a pain in the ass to get rid of and come with long-term effects. Other STDs stick with you forever and are incurable. As for a possible pregnancy, I promise you the risk of not using condoms simply because it feels better aren’t worth it. If you aren’t financially, mentally, or spiritually ready for a child, then you have to be using condoms or get on birth control. That would be the most responsible thing to do going forward, and that’s the best advice I can give you.

Answer

You are probably good from the plan B but yeah definitely take a test in a few weeks to know for sure. We all make mistakes, just learn from this one mami because you dont want to be in the position again. Good for you for taking the plan B, but you know, in the future try to have a plan A which will be safer, like using a condom. I hope that you're not pregnant and can move on from this as a more educated person. Best of luck! xo
