Unprotected sex and pills
I just had unprotected sex a few days ago(twice)and yes i know that was stupid with having no condom(i'm a girl, 16). My first fear is of course pregnancy, my period was two days late but i just got it today, so that means i'm not pregnan, right?!? Thats my fist question, then my second is, should i get tested for any std's or something? i haven't noticed anythig weird but is it still neccisary to get the test?
And not to be a total sex newbie but the guy i was with the other day asked me if i was "on the pill?" I didn't know what he ment so i just said yes...what pill is he talking about? What does it do?
Thanks!

Well, he probably had sex with you cause he thought you were protected hehe the pill is birth control, it keeps you from getting pregnant. and... go to a doctor.

Not necessarily, I would go to a doctor ASAP. They should tell you the correct answer of whether you are pregnant or not. You should get tested as well, because most STDs don't have any signs, that's why it's best to get tested just to be sure. You'd rather get tested and no for sure that you do have STDs, as a warning and a precaution, rather than not getting tested and wondering whether you do or don't have STDs.
"The pill" is just another name for a form of birth control.

I say you should still go and get checked for pregnancy along with STDs. Some STDs show no signs until it gets to the stage where it's irreversible. STDs do not have to show any irregularities to prove that they're there. So get tested for STDs.
The pill. He meant birth control pills. It protects you from pregnancy but NOT STDs.

Well, no, your not pregnant. Since you just got your period, you're fine in that matter =)
Since you had unprotected sex, its a smart thing to do to get tested for anything.. I don't know how well you know the guy, and or if it was his first time or not.... simply remember to wear a condom! it is soooo important! it protects you from both pregnancy and any sort of std. so you don't have to be worrying about all this, and can enjoy what you're doing.
And lastly, when someone asks you if you're "on the pill", that means if are you taking a birth control pill. to prevent pregnancy.
=)
Hope this helps =)

Some women still get their period regardless whether they are pregnant or not so I would say, to be on the safe side, I wouldn't count it as a guarantee that you can't still get pregnant. I would highly suggest you get checked for STD's which you should be able to get done by visiting any local Family Planning/Health Clinics or by seeing your doctor - either would be highly advisable just as a precaution. If you might have something it won't present itself immediately (the HIV virus can take a long time to incubate and present itself phyically) so do get yourself checked out.
When the guy asked if you were on the pill he was referring to the birth control pill which is a form of conterception - prevents pregnancy (but DOESN'T protect you from any STD's).
In future I would highly suggest you carry condoms with you but if you don't want to do this then make sure the guy either has and uses one or you can tell them they get nothing until they do use one. You'll only be doing yourself a favour in the long run - especially since you may now need to get the morning after pill (to prevent pregnancy - you need to talk to a pharmacy asap about this because I think the pill can only be taken within 3 days for best results) as well as get tested for STD's.
Good luck and hope everything will be okay.
