Broke Condom/Birth Control--Please! I'm begging for advice.
Question Posted Friday March 28 2008, 10:24 pm
Sorry about the length, I just really need advice!!!
Okay, I'm just going to get straight to the point.
The other day me & my boyfriend was having sex.
I don't want lectured about whether I should be or not, I'm old enough to make my own decisions.
I just need serious help!
Okay, I'm on birth control, ortho trycyclin, or whatever, I have been since November, 2006. Wednesday I was supposed to have start taking the pills to start my period, today is Friday, and I still aint bleeding.
So today, me and my boyfriend was having sex, and well, the condom broke, this is the first time this has ever happened to me, and I'm literally freaking out.
He says he pulled out before he got off, but theres always pre-cum. And the thing is, when he pulled out, it was a couple seconds later, he cummed, I felt the cum against my bed sheets, so I jolted higher on my bed, over to the side, basically so none would get inside of me.
I ended up taking an extra pill; tomarrow nights pill.
After that, I got a Vaginal Contraceptive Film thingy, the thing that kills the sperm, if any got inside of me, I told him to insert it.
He did.
I'm so concerned over what to do, I dont want to get pregnant.
Although, I've been cummed in before.
I didnt get pregnant.
I'm so freaked out over this.

To be honest, I'm unsure of what exactly could have happened from taking the extra pill; maybe it's nothing, maybe it's something. For that information you'll probably have to consult a medical professional (you could even call the local pharmacy). I've always been told that you can't have your period/bleed while pregnant, BUT one of my friends had been having some issues and went to see a doctor. When the doctor said she could be pregnant, my friend told the nurse/doctor that it wasn't possible because she had had her period the following month after having sex. The nurse/doctor told my friend that it didn't matter. SO, although I've always been told to the contrary, this medical person did tell her that it was still possible to be pregnant.
If you say that your bleeding is currently not at its normal amount, then there may be something wrong. The stress may be the reason for the light bleeding, or it could just be nothing. If you want to be on the safe side, I suggest at least calling the doctor. If whomever you speak with decides that you should come in for an appointment, then schedule one.
If you're not an adult and/or need your parent/guardian to schedule your appt, just tell them that you're not feeling well and, once you get to the doctor, ask if you can go in alone. You might even be able to call up there after the appt was made but before you go, to make sure the doctor knows the real reason your visiting and can be prepared. Because of doctor/patient confidentiality, the doctor can't tell your parents anything you don't want them to know.

There's really nothing any of us can do to make the situation better.
Sure, we could virtually hold your hand and coddle you, but it's not going to do anything. No matter how much you don't want to become pregnant, if it happens it happens.
Your best option as of right now is to just calm down. You were careful, you used protection, even if it broke. I'm not so sure that it was smart for you to have taken an extra pill. Doesn't that mess up the system? Birth Control pills only work to their extreme if used properly.
Anyway, if you do end up skipping your period then hold your breath and take that pregnancy test.
As you said, you're old enough to make your own decision, which include sex. Part of making that decision means knowing how to deal with any consequences that may or may not occur.
But, if you continue stressing over what may or may not be, then it will delay your period and cause you even more stress.
My advice to you is to just relax and wait it out. You've done what you can and now you're just going to have to wait and see. [ S_C's advice column | Ask S_C A Question ]
