Lizzie (age 13) writes, “I am 13 and on birth control. It is a low dose but, sometimes I forget to take it so I have to take two pills in a day. (My mom got me on it for my irregular period) I have been on it for 6 months now. I have had a normal period since on it and recently I have had sex with my boyfriend and he pulled out. This was about 4 weeks ago and I am getting several signs of pregnancy. I feel sick a lot, my ab area hurts every few hours, I get really dizzy when walking half of the time, I can’t sleep well, I’m always tired no matter how long I sleep, and a few other things I can’t lay my finger on at the moment. But i recently missed my period and started getting these symptoms about 4 days ago. Could I be pregnant? I have been doing research and getting a test this weekend. What do you think? Could I really be pregnant? Thank you, Lizzie“
Dear Lizzie,
Did your boyfriend ejaculate while he was “in” you? Did he get semen inside your vagina? If he’s completely sure that he withdrew in time and ejaculated away from your vagina, then you should be fine. The probability for becoming pregnant if he definitely ejaculated outside of you (and not even a partial “squirt” went inside you) is very slim.
Usually, with daily birth control pills, if you miss a single day and make up for that missed dose right away, you should be fine. If, however, you miss two days back to back, then it could make your period come early. If you miss two days back to back, you’d definitely need to use an alternate form of birth control such as a condom.
Since you missed your most recent period, I would definitely recommend taking a home pregnancy test. However, it could just be the nerves making your period be late or even skipped. If this was your first time having sex, then you could also have some various aches and pains resulting from that. Many of the symptoms you describe, though, could be caused by a bunch of different things including stress & worrying.
In conclusion, my best guess is that you are not pregnant, but a home pregnancy test will help verify that.
Best of luck!
Hannah
Dear Lizzie,

Dear hannah,
My name is Ana Maria and i’m 14 . i recently had sex with my ex boyfriend… and when we were barely doing it he came in me, but pulled out but im sure he still got some cum in me. .
so we went at it again for like 8 times and only used a condom once out of those 8 times.. and we did it again, a week later and we had sex a few times and he came in me twice. and i’m a week and a half late on my period, and i’m really nervous. my breasts are soar, and i’ve been feeling like puking. i think it is too early to findout if im pregnant, i really need your help. PS. in the time i had sex, i was not ovulating. will that decrease the chance that i am pregnant?
I’m 13 and might be pregnet :(
When me and my bf did it the first time he came in me and the outside of my vag. I went to the toilet to clean myself with toilet paper. We have done it about 4 more times with a comdom than the 5-6 time we did it without and he just pulled it out intime. But ever since I have had that first time I have been abit nausea and really moody. My breasts are really soar and my period hasn’t been for AGES! I had my period (I think it was) just after the day we first had sex but it only lasted for a day? So could I be pregnet? And I am thinking of going to the chemist with my boyfriend and getting a home pregnancy test. He is fine if I am pregnet he doesn’t want me to get an abortion or put it up for adoption so I’m not worried about that (:
I just want to know if I could be pregnet???? ♥
heyy jamie

You’re 12 and having sex ? I’m 16 and I still try and avoid having sex. Maybe your parents should try and slap sense into you. Noone knows if you’re pregnant. But for all the 12 and 13 yearolds, keep your legs closed. You are the meaning of whores.
That’s not a good way to talk to someone who could one day look up to you. I bet you don’t appreciate your parents yelling at you and talking at you instead of listening andredirecting in a polite sensative way! A little word of advice, Bailee, don’t give any advice and don’t go around calling names it makes you an ugly person. Respect others choices it’s their lives and not yours!
Dear Hannah,
Last month I had sex and the condom broke. I took the Morning After Pill about 3 hours later. Then 3 days later, I got my period. It lasted 7 days and was an average period, if not a heavier. It’s been about 5 weeks since then and I still have not gotten my period again. I usually feel very easily upset the week before my period, & I’ve felt that way for about he past two weeks, but still no period. What are the chances that I am pregnant? Please help, my boyfriend is worrying himself sick, and I am as well.
Dear Bailee,
It is none of your business if these 12 or 13 year olds have sex. it is their choice ohh well they had sex. yaa i know its not right but it is their choice. you cant change it now they had sex. i dont think it was right of you to call her out like that….. i am 15 and having sex and have a huge possiblity of being pregnant…. if i am i would be 10 weeks but hun i think you owe them an apologe cause that was not right. some day you will under stand once you loose your virginaty….
Dear Jess Fagan,
It is their own problem if they are pregnant. i think having an abortion is a REALLY cruel thing to bring up. Just think, once you have a little baby inside of you and you are actually pregnant it grows onto you really quick… i would NEVER get an abortion or give it up for adoption it would pretty much be considered commiting a murder.. Just think if an abortion was a crime and considered murder a lot more people in this world would be in prison for murder. its like killing a new born baby like killing your little cousin or something or niece or nephew. and saying ohh well its just a little inocent baby that did nothing but conceived. they didnt ask to be conceived, god made it like that for a reason… just remember EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON EITHER GOOD OR BAD THERES ALWAYS A GOOD AND BAD PART TO A SITUATION.
Hey Lizzie! Im 17 years old with two kids. I got pregnant with my first( Karli) when i was 13. Its not that hard takin care of a kid when ur 14 and 13 .
EVERYONE!
I got pregnant at 17 and it was and is extremely hard. I had a hard time with friends and school and college. Giving I had an amazing family that helped me through everything, and I love my daughter more than anything. It is very hard and makes life harder on you. I know that if you have a baby young your parents help and that makes it easier but remember all of the things you are missing out on and remember that if you wait you can offer so much more to your child later. Enjoy being 12 and 13 and even 15 and 16. You are still a kid and having a kid while being a kid is hard. You have your whole life ahead of you, live life and be happy and carefree. I am not being rude toward anyone and I am not saying have an abortion because it is a baby and a sweet part of you but please wait and enjoy that sweet part of you later when you have a home husband and you are ready for this big commitment. My bf at the time said he would stay with me and help me then he made a fool of me and wanted a DNA test and refused to believe she was his it was hard on me and guys will say that they will help but when it comes down to it, this is your child and they honestly can back out whenever and leave you alone. Thank god I have my now Husband and we are doing great and want another child now ( I am now 25) but GIRLS please wait. I worked hard to get to where I am today and without my family I would be no one. It is hard and you have SO SO SO much life ahead of you!!!! You have High school and College and believe me, you havent experienced EVERYTHING the world has to offer you! LIVE LIFE and BE HAPPY and GOODLUCK to all of you!!! xoxo
I agree with you 100%, Rosie. The problem is we tend to learn things by making our own mistakes instead of thinking logically. I had a friend who basically gave up on school and thought her only option left was getting pregnant and being a mom at 15. And there’s the problem there; as much as we, as kids, like to think we’re highly mature, we’re really not.
So that brings us to sex, which I honestly believe, kids under 18 shouldn’t be having. Especially if you’re 12. Seriously, have fun with your childhood because once you hit the real world, you’ll start wishing you were a kid again.
Raising a kid is not a game and it shouldn’t be a minor’s responsibility. You have no job. You don’t pay taxes. You’ll have a helluva hard time finishing school (It’s hard enough as it is). You’re already dependant on your parents and having a child at 12-17 because you “forgot” to put on a condom just makes you even more of a burden than you already are (I’m not going to sugar coat it).
So get back on the playground, forget about boys for a while–they’re more mature at 25 anyways–and find out what you really love to do so you can make a future out of it.
Food for thought.
Rosie, you are one amazing woman. I agree with you whole-heartedly. I’m only 13, and yes, I have not experienced pregnancy, and plan not to until I’m married and in a stable financial situation, but, you are so right. These girls are so easily misguided into sex, and unfortunatly, the whole thing then blows up in their face. WAIT GIRLS! DON’T WASTE YOUR LIFE LIKE THAT! BE STRONG AND JUST SAY NO! Rosie obviously had to work hard to provide for that baby; she missed a lot of what non-pregnant girls her age were doing, and regrets it. Like Nikki said, “forget about the boys.” At this age, worry about you, and your hopes and dreams. Without an unexpected baby, you can go out for what you always wanted: you don’t have to be held back with an innocent baby. And no: THE GUYS DON’T STICK AROUND WHEN IT MATTERS!
Bailey you do not refer to anyone as a whore!! if she wants to have sex at 12 let her.. id just advise the pill or the bar in the arm.. that was a very rude comment..! im 15 and i recently had sex, my last period was on the 18th of august and its now the 20/21 of septemberand i still havent got it.. the boy i had it with was wearing a condom but he wanked first with thecondom on..i was thinkin did it rip but he woud of noticed and so would i! he wouldnt lie to me because our families are close and he wouldnt want my maat his door telling him he is the father of my child.. and destiny? did your parents not go mad? iv been crying and stuff but aftr reading these comments have made me feel beter because theres people in the same position as me! my mom is a single mother and works a couple of jobs to earn money so if i had a child it would be very hard work.. and my nanny and granda would be very dissappointed :( could anyone give me any answers please? iv also had no real symtoms but iv just been goin tthe toilet a good bit? pleae help!? and goodluck to the other girls yous will be fine.. think positive <3 xxxxx

Hi, I’m 20 years old. I have been on the pill for almost 2 months now. I started taking it on the first day of my period. When I was in the 3rd week (last day), I had sex with my bf without a condom. I’ve never forgotten a pill. I’ve gained some weight and I’m scared that I may be pregnant. Do you think there’s a big chance I am?
Daily birth control pills are extremely effective. The likelihood of you being pregnant is very slim. Just keep faithfully taking them, and you should be good.
