No Protection
Here's the situation. I lost "it" to my first boyfriend [[*we'll call him michael*]]back about 7 months ago. we ended up breaking up and my parents found out all about our relationship and it started a huge family feud and no trust with me and my new boyfriend (who was actually a good friend of mine for 2 years and now we're together and we'll call him Scott). well we worked it out and everything is fine. Scott assured me he wasn't like that and in fact he's a virgin and wanted to wait till marriage because he wanted it to be something special and with the one he knew he was going to marry. well, with our previous history, and we've been together a few months, tonight we were home at his house alone and things just got really hot and heavy and to make a long story short we ended up having sex and weren't protected cuz we weren't expecting it and he doesn't have condoms on hand since he wasn't expecting to ever need them.
now i'm scared to death that i might get pregnant. with michael, i actually was pregnant at one point, but i had a miscarriage [[*not an abortion*]]. and i swore i would change after me and him broke up, but me and Scott just got caught in the moment and didn't realize till it was too late. i feel awful about it and now i'm terrified. is there anyway i can do something to ensure i don't get pregnant?! we're not gunna do that again and. . .if i get pregnant again, i'm no way in heck going to have an abortion, but i just don't know what we'd do! we're both financially unstable right now AND i just patched everything with my parents. i really need advice ya'll!!!
i'm 17 and he's 18

I highly recommend the morning after pill AND if you are mature enogh to be having sex, remember, sex was originated for procreation; if you are having it for pleasure or to express love, which is CERTAINLY your preogative, please please please practice safe sex.
g-d bless you

Hey.
As has been said, there really isn't a way to tell for sure that you are pregnant. & I'm sure you realize that it is a possibility. I think the best solution for you is to get the morning after pill. You can get those over the counter here, I'm not sure about where you live. I really think that will be your best bet right now.
Hope everything works out with you.
God Bless.

we'll it's kinda a wait and see thing. you could call your local women's center, or planned parent hood and get the morning after pill, you can start taking it up to 72 hours after unprotected sex...some people think of it as an abortion but in all reality it really isnt. expecially for your situation. email me if you need to talk!!!!
I got pregnant at 18.

There is no absolutely positive way to ensure that you are not/ will not be pregnant. You can go to your local drug store and purchase plan B. It is largely effective, reducing the risk of pregnancy up to 89%. Plan B can be taken up to 3 days after intercourse, after that, it will not be effective. You cannot purchase it because you are underage, however, your boyfriend can purchase it. Call your pharmacy before going there to make sure they actually stock plan B as some do not. If you cannot get plan B over the counter, you can get a prescription for it from your primary care physician or your gynecologist. But it must be done within the next three days.
If you cannot access plan B and you are late for your period, wait until you are two weeks late to take a pregnancy test. I do not know where you are on your menstrual cycle, but you may not have an egg present right now to be fertilized. Ovulation (the release of the egg) occurs two weeks prior to the start of the menstrual period. Your most fertile time is usually just a couple days prior to ovulation.
