birth control
i had sex 9 days ago. since then, ive had my period. im still afraid i could be pregnant, would birth control have an effect if i started taking it? would it change anything if i was pregnant? i dont think i am, but i know there is still a small possibility.

You can still be pregnant if you had your period. Birth control while you are pregnant might have a serious effect on the embryo. I would say take a pregnancy test just to be sure and if your not pregnant then you should get on birth control just to be safe and always use a condom or any other means of protection. If you are pregnant you NEED to tell your parents. I dont think it matters how old you are, you should tell them as soon as you find out if worst comes to worst.
Good luck...Hope this helps

okay, as much as i would love to say that person below me is right, shes not. Just because you got your period does not mean you aren't pregnant. People have had their periods even when they were pregnant. But birth control wouldn't help now if you were. You may not be though. Best chance would be to take a pregnancy test to be 100% positive and then get on birth control.

If you have had a period since you had sex, then you
aren't pregnant.
Getting on birth control would be a very good idea though. No more pregnancy scares is a good thing! :)
Edit: The chance of you being pregnant even though
you have had your period is so small that it would be ridiculous to even worry about it.
You could have some "break through bleeding" during the first trimester, if you were pregnant.
You would recognize though that it was not a period. It is not the same thing.
In order to be put on the birth control pill
they will do a pregnancy test before they prescribe it.
Actually, having many years of working in the medical field behind me, has taught me not to panic people unnecessarily. Something some of the younger users should probably learn. No offense. :)
