You are too young to be having unprotected sex. You should always protect yourself even if it is your boyfriend and use condoms. If you aren't to prevent pregnancy you should use spermicides with any added protection, without regular birth contraceptives. 1  out of 2 found this valuable. Do you?

there are contraceptives in the forms of pills every day, the patch, the shot or just plain abstinance! the pill as the highest percentage of preventing pregnancy. you need to get in contact with your local planned parenthood to recieve free birth control and advice. 1  out of 2 found this valuable.

I'm an 18 year old female, and I have to say this. I started having sex at a young age too, too young honestly. But what I have to say is, if you are to young to know how contraceptives work, then you are TOO YOUNG to be having sex. If you are serious about having sex and being with that person, then you will be serious enough to take care of yourself ! That means, calling around and finding a local health department, they normally offer some type of free birth control pill, either depo or ortho tricyclin. I know this because I started having sex at 14 and got on the Yasmin pill at 14. REMEMBER THIS! If you are NOT responsible enough to have a child and deal with the consequences or gift (whichever you choose to look at it as) then you are not responsible enough to be having sex, if you feel you are, PROTECT YOURSELF until you are ready to give you and your child what you guys deserve! 9  out of 9 found this valuable.

HI , I see a lot of people are lecturing you but no one is answering your question. I hope you do truly love this bloke, the way the pill works is you take one each day of the month. The pill will stop you from releasing your eggs (which your body does each month).This means as long as you don't forget to take any, you can not fall pregnant. Is does take about a month to take total effect so you need to use a condom for at least one month. After that your boyfriend can cum in you. What you must remember though is that this means although you are protected from having a baby, you can still catch sexually transmitted diseases, so i recommend that you always use a condom anyway cause believe me the diseases really hurt and can make you infertile which means you will never have babies!!! Iknow boys often say you are the only one, but take it from me (especially at that age) they really do cheat and lie, cos they are not ols enough to control themselves yet so please be careful and don't get hurt . To be honest you are a little young! I really think you should go and speak to a clinic with professionals who can explain everything in detail! 4  out of 6 found this valuable. Do you?

Birth control does NOT prevent you from getting pregnant!! Most birth controls, if taken effectively, meaning taken at the EXACT same time every day, only gives you a little over 90% chance of avoiding pregnancy. If your boyfriend ejaculates inside of you, even if you are on birthcontrol, you still run the risk of getting pregnant. The only way to avoid pregnancy is by practicing abstinence. Finally, you are WAY to young to be having sex. Instead, you need to be worrying about school and your future. Do you find this valuable?

Hey! I just wanted to add that it is important to take the pill everyday and it does take a while to start to work but how long it takes to work is dependant on whether you start taking the pill when your period starts or not. Also, some other factors that some woman aren't aware of (who could be in there 20's or 30's having sex!!) and have fallen pregnant because of is when you are taking antibiotics or have diarhoea (hope that's spelt correct!) the pill can be ineffective during this time and for a little while afterwards. Check everyything out with your dr or any other alternative that you use and read thoroughly what the pamphlet says that comes with the pill. I'm not going to lecture you because having sex is your decision no matter your age, it is also very private and special - but always be well informed!! 1  out of 2 found this valuable. Do you?

I KNOW U GET LECTURED ON THIS ISSUE BUT I CAN'T HELP BUT TO AGREE WITH 1 OF THE WRITTERS. ABSTINENCE IS THE KEY. REGARDLESS OF WHAT NE ONE TELLS U, U R STILL GOING TO DO WHAT U WANT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT KINDA RELATIONSHIP U HAVE WITH YO PARENTS, I SAY THAT CUZ ME AND MY DAD COULD TALK ABOUT THINGS BETTER THAN ME AND MY MOM. IF NOT TALK 2 SOMEONE YOU REALLY TRUST BEFORE U MAKE NE DECISIONS. REGARDLESS OF WHAT CONTRACEPTIVE U USE ALWAYS KNOW THAT NONE OF THEM R 100% SAFE. 1 MORE THING I TEACH YOUNG GIRLS IS THIS, YOU MAY THINK THAT HE IS THE ONLY ONE YOU ARE SLEEPING WITH BUT THAT IS A LIE BECAUSE EVERY ONE HE HAS SLEPY WITH WHEN HE SLEEPS WITH YOU YOU ARE SLEEPING WITH THEM. NO MATTER HOW GOOD HE BATHES IT TAKES HIM YEARS TO WAS THEM OFF OF HIM. THINK ABOUT IT. IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME ASK A HEALTH PROFESSIONAL ABOUT THAT STATEMENT. A HEALTH TEACHER, PARENTING TEACHER OR WHATEVER. I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THIS IN CASE YOU DID NOT KNOW THIS. ABSTINENCE IS THE SAFEST KEY. ALSO B4 U START BIRTH CONTROL OF ANY KIND YOU NEED TO GET A CHECK UP BY A PHYSICIAN. EVERY CONTRACEPTIVE DOES NOT AGREE WITH EVERYONE IN THE SAME WAY. ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT THERE ARE YOUNG PEOPLE GETTING AIDs and STDs EVERYDAY JUST LIKE OLD PEOPLE. IF YOU THINK U R READY 4 THAT BIG STEP OF HAVING SEX JUST KNOW THAT IT IS MORE INVOLVED IN IT THAN JUST PULLING OFF YOUR CLOTHES AND LAYING WITH A BOY/MAN. R U REALLY READY 4 THIS????????????MORE INVOLVED IN JUST HAVING SEX. EMOTIONS, PRESSURE IN KEEP DOING IT. BOYS WILL ALWAYS TELL YOU IF YOU LOVE THEM PROVE IT. THAT IS THE OLDEST TRICK IN THE BOOK BABY. ANY BOY WHO LOVES YOU WILL WAIT , THAT IS HOW HE CAN PROVE HIS LOVE TO YOU BY WAITING. GOD HONORS MARRIAGE. NOT FORNICATION. BE CAREFULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL. TALK TO YOUR MOM. 0  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

You always should use a condom to provent Pregnancy and STD's birth control pills are not 100% accurate. My sister has 5 kids the first two was concieved while on birth control.

Please be careful! You have a long future ahead of you.

Yes you need to take the pill everyday and it is more effective if you take it at the same time everyday.If you feel sick from taking it then take it at night before you go to bed. As for using protection yes you should. Even if you are on the pill there is ALWAYS the possibilty of becoming pregnant. I went to school with a couple of girls that were on the needle and they got pregnant and didn't know it until they gave birth so always make sure that you protect yourself.

If you are going to be sexually active at your age, you need to use MORE than ONE contraceptive. The pill is only 99.9% affective. So, there is a small chance you can still get pregnant if your on the pill. I personally know someone who got pregnant on the pill. My neighbor. They just had a little boy five weeks ago. So, it can happen. Sooooooo, use a condom AND use the pill. If you're responsible enough to have sex, prove it and be responsible enough to be SAFE. Do you find this valuable?

Birth control does not completely protect you from being pregnant. If you have a bad episode of diarrhea the medication can literally pass right through you. Some over the counter cold and flu medications will alter the effectiveness of birth control. Some foods can also alter the effectiveness of birth control. Don't be stupid always use a condom. Not only are you protecting against pregnancy but also against sexually transmitted diseases. Do you find this valuable?

i am also fifteen years old and i have been with my boyfriend for 9 months, i recently had sex with him and i'm scared that i might be pregnant. we used protection and everything. i am scared that my period wont come. (since it only comes when it feels like anyway) i don't have all the signs of being pregnant, but i have stomach aches, i don't know if that comes from being worried that i am pregnant or what?!

Hi i used the pill for three years and had no problems and did not have to use a condom once. You take one pill at the same time every day, pref morning, and your covered. try not to miss a pill, if you forget just take one as soon as you can within 12 hours and be cautious for seven days. you take these for three weeks and then have a week break when your period arrives. two packs can be run straight but dont do more than two packs at a time, you need a break. see your doctor, its a bit scary at first but you`ll be fine. I`m now off the pill and trying for a baby, wish me luck..... Do you find this valuable?

Yes!! it's 21st century n it's common for teenagers to have sex. It is just like having food n water, its a physical necessity these days. You do get pills in the market that u need to take once a week to prevent pregnancies. But d best is to use Condoms-- female condoms r also available in d market, it will also prevent u from AIDS/STD diseases which is on rise these days. Try not to have multiple sex. Be faithful to each other n have lots of hot fun. Do you find this valuable?
