preg?

[Nicola102]

Hi, I have been in a relationship with my boyfriend for some time now! I stopped taking my contraceptive pill on 25th May 08 and I had my periods 3 days later on 28th, My partner didn't approve of me taking the pill anymore so I didn't take it after my period. Yesterday on 18th june 08 I started bleeding (just a little to begin with) which was dark brown. I never bled through the night and everytime I done the toilet I would bleed. Now Today 19th June I am heavily bleeding a dark red colour. Can you please let me know what is happening as this has never happened before and it is severely worrying me.

Thankyou

p.s Could you please reply to ***@**** as I am at work and frequently check my emails.

Don't you think you are a little young to be trying to get pregnant?

At 17yrs old, you belong in the 20 and under pregnancy forum...

I would seriously reconsider actively trying to concieve at your age. I turn 21 next month and am almost 8 months pregnant. It wasnt planned, im now on my own and its very difficult. At 17 you arent fully mature enough to understand the implications having a child will have on your life

The bleeding is from pill withdrawal...it could take up to a year for your cycle to get regular again.  I'd talk to your dr about another form of birth control such as a diaphragm or IUD or whatever.  As the other women have said, I'd recommend that you reconsider.

i agree with sweetangel7, when i stopped taking birth control and was ready to have a baby, which i was 24, it took my body a while to have regular normal periods.

it seems like your boyfriend though is the one that wants you to stop taking the pill, which is not right, it needs to be your decision and not one elses.  you are very young and have a lot of learning ahead, do not let someone control your life at such a young age.

Well thanks and I am not trying to get pregnant!
I was scared of my bf and he wanted me to stop taking it... just didnt want to lose him I know im too young at the moment but I am mature for my age.

Thanks anyway

Im glad you are being strong and sticking to what is right for you, you have plenty of time to settle down and have children when you have lived life for yourself, if your bf is that petty to say anything against your decision tell him to get lost!! He's clearly threatened by your drive to do well in life and guys like that will always hold you back

Good luck

I think you need to stand up to him now and work on your relationship or walk away...you say you were scared of your bf?  If this is not worked out now, you will be making the rest of your life miserable if you stay with him.  I was in an abusive relationship in high school right before I met my husband.  This guy seemed like a prince at first however he soon became Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde...I know first hand how hard it is to walk away from a relationship that has good times and also instills a bit of fear.  When we were dating, he grabbed my arm so hard and yanked me that he dislocated my shoulder and sprained my elbow which he was holding when he yanked.  I stayed with him for a couple more months after that too...When we did break up, I had to get a restraining order, he shot my windshield in the middle of the night, he keyed the word 'b*tch' on my hood while I was on a date with my now husband, grabbed me in front of a police officer and told me he would kill me-maybe not today, tomorrow, next week, or next year...but someday"  These are just some of the major incidents...never mind him calling me at work, where he was supposed to stay 100 feet away from, telling me what I was wearing and doing...OR the time he drove by my bf's house (now dh) and saw my car in the driveway, slammed on the brakes in the middle of a fairly busy road-left the car running, left the door wide open and walked up to the door and all the windows shouting that he knew I was in there and he demanded to be let in so we could 'talk'.  If you want to talk about controlling bfs, you can message me and we can talk...getting away from that bf was the best thing, and maybe one of the hardest things I had ever done.  Now, I have the best life and I am so happy.  Good luck!
