Hello, My friend Rena does not have a live journal so, i said I would help her out. Recently had sex without a condom She had heard she could not get pregnant if they were both first-timers. But she is now worried because, she has missed her period twice and she had figured out a somewhat regular pattern (she had been having her period since the age of 11) She also has been having stomach pains. She hasnt told her mom because shes only 15. Could she be pregnant? (rena is here from today until monday so any comments in that time will be directly sent to her, after that they will be sent to her by me calling her.)

go to the store and pick up a pregnancy test?

if enough time has passed since she had sex to have missed two periods then there is definitely enough HCG (pregnancy hormone) in her system that can be picked up by a "pee on a stick" home pregnancy test.

good luck.

Unfortunately, she could absolutely be pregnant. Tell your friend to take a home pregnancy test asap.

Good luck to her.

whoever told her the not getting pregnant thing because both were first timers was a damn liar.

take a pregnancy test. and think about getting some sort of birth control (condoms, pill, shot, patch whatever!) and i'm not sure where she lives, but i'm sure there is a planned parenthood aound there somewhere. she doesnt have to tell her parents about it, and odds are she can either get services for free or a very low fee.

Yup, she could be pregnant. She ought to get a pregnancy test, then talk to her mother or another adult she feels safe talking to.
Any woman who has started menstruating can get pregnant if her vagina encounters sperm. If sperm and egg meet, you get pregnant, in any circumstance.

I cannot believe someone told her that lie about being first timers!!! She could be pregnant. Planned Parenthood or pee on a stick. It's her choice. Good luck.

I'm so mad at that person who told her that....

I hate to be one of these people, but I'm gonna say it anyhow. If she and her partner were uninformed/misinformed/naive enough to believe that they couldn't get pregnant for whatever silly reason, maybe they weren't ready to be having sex in the first place.

But yes it's possible, and she she really be considering taking the Plan B pills (morning after pill) from planned parenthood if it's been less than 72 (or in some peoples opinions 100-some hours) since they had sex. A pregnancy test may not detect a fertilized egg for a couple of weeks so if she takes it too soon and it comes up negative, she STILL may be pregnant.

Oh I missed that missed period thing. However, if she's 15 that might just be the way things are. I missed months at a time at her age.

I agree, though. They teach all of the wrong things in health. I didn't need to know what the tube was that carried the sperm through the male genitals, I needed to know about important stuff like birth control and whatnot.

your feelings affect the child. so try to keep a good attitude and be positive. Read a book called, "for a blissful baby" by kamuda reddy. its the best. and good luck!

just from an objective POV...you had half of the part in the sex too...so yeah. and before you blame others (general rule)..look at what YOU, yourself could have done to prevent it. if you have the baby, treat it right, love it, care for it. oh, another general rule..if you're not ready to protect yourself and not ready to take care of a child..then you're not ready to have sex. sex is a serious thing and you have to think about it first. anyway...good luck with the baby and all. be a good mother.
