I'm not ready to be a mother yet.

[Areli_Acevedo]

Okay so I'm currently 17 years old and I've been having sexual intercourse with my partner for 5 months now. I'm worried that the protection we used sometimes isn't enough to prevent us from having a baby. About 2 days ago we had intercourse but some white stuff came out of the condom. I didn't know if it was his or mine and it was able to seep inside... My period was suppose to start on Sunday but I'm worried that I could've gotten pregnant.. What does this mean and what should I do because I'm scared I'm might get pregnant...?

Thank you everyone for your comments. It has really help me worry less about the situation. I have been told taking th pill but it could lead to cancer and other physical malfunctions. I was looking into taking the shot but I need to look more into it. Again, thank you all for giving me you opinions, gladly appreciate it.

I may only be 17 but I was just trying to help. It was to someone my own age. Thats why I said take more precautions. Plus there are a lot of women who ask questions that to some may be common knowledge, who happen to be a lot older then her.

Its pretty rough tying to learn about sex at this age without havinsomeone to teach or talk to you. Definitely Get some sex education before you continue having sex. You will learn all the ways to prevent preganncy and diseases and also learn about ovulation and fertile periods.

Rosalie23 cut her some slack. She's obviously trying to take precautions hint the condom. Didn't you just post on another thing that these girls just need advice and not to bash them?!??

[rosealie23]

Listen to that other girl who apparently knows enough about sex to be pregnant. No form of birth control is 100 percent. You should be on birth control and using a condom.

Like they said.. you generally ovulate around 2 weeks before ur period is due so having sex a few days before you are due to start should not cause concern. But you can always test in about 2 weeks

Don't have sex you are not ready. You said it yourself you are not ready for a baby and you are in a panic. The way you just described sex you sound more like 14 not 17. You need to know about sex before you have it and be ready for the consequences of sex.

Oh lordy, after I posted ALL that, I see you are using a condom.  Good job girl!  Sorry, I misread that.  The white stuff was semen ----  and yes, hoping the condom didn't break or come off during intercourse.  But I'm glad you using it.  That is a safe form of birth control when used every time.  Try the pill if it still makes you feel at risk.  

sorry for my earlier misread sweetie.  take care

I'm 17 and I'm currently 8 months pregnant. I'm due September 28th. If you had sex just two days ago you still have time to take the morning after pill. Being pregnant at our age is hard. (Not that it isn't hard when your older.) This has personally been a very big struggle for me and because of my age, still being in high school, and my situation, we're giving my son up for adoption. Although we may be younger then most the connection with our baby is still the same. I'd advise taking the pill and taking more precautions next time with your boyfriend. Because a situation like this is extremely difficult and you don't want to be put into it.

Hi there and welcome to med help.  Well, that could be his semen rushing out.  But don't let that fool you, if he ejaculated inside you, you can get pregnant.  Any time you have unprotected sex, you risk pregnancy no matter the time of month.  However, there are definitely more fertile times.  Traditionally a day or two before your period unless you had a really rare second ovulation would not impregnate you.  Our cycle works like this:  one the first day of our period, it is the first day of our cycle.  Around mid cycle or day 14 or 15 for the average woman, she will ovulate.  Ovulation lasts 24 to 48 hours at most.  However, sperm can live for several days so can impregnate you if you had sex days before ovulation.  

Your period could just be late which happens for a variety of reasons including stress, weight gain or loss, changes in schedule, illness, etc.  Plus, young teens of 17 are prone to irregular cycles.  So, you could just be late.  

Wait to see if your period shows up soon and if it does not in a week or so, take a pregnancy test.  You can buy these at the grocery store, a WalMart, drug store, etc.  they are pretty cheap and all you do is pee on them.  Then you'll know.  

since you don't want to be pregnant, I will cross my fingers that you are not.  

Now, I would think BIG picture and since you do not want a baby---  think about birth control  The pill is a good option and you can get that at a clinic or somewhere like Planned Parenthood where you do not need your parents consent to get it.  Or make your boyfriend use a condom EVERY time.  Babies are a life time game changer---  take prevention seriously until you are ready for a baby.  good luck dear

You can't get pregnant that fast. If the condom didn't break then your fine. It sounds like it was just your stuff cause the same would happen with my hubby and I when we used a condom. Just relax and if your super nervous that a condom isn't enough look into birth control pills and use a condom. Hope this helps.
