Planned Parenthood
Thnx for the other info.The problem is,is that I don't have a gyno.I recently(about 3 weeks ago) went to my doctor and she gave my mom a gyno's name.My mom is slow with making appointments..esp.mine for whatever reason.She still hasn't called the gyno to make an appointment.My doctor even told her to put me on birth contol to make my periods easier..(she still hasn't done it..).So my plan was to go to planned parenthood with my friend after school (she wants to get tested,checked out as well) and get birth control,protection,& tested.But I was wondering if I should get a pregnancy test done just in case?Ill definately take another one at the end of the month but I jus thought since im going to be there already,why not?I just think its time to take matters into my own hands.

If you're heading over to planned parenthood then you should definately go on and have a pregnancy test done to see what it turns out. It's good to take another one if your period misses, as I've already explained that a woman does not instantly become pregnant.
If you are pregnant, you will have to have a gynecologist. I wouldn't worry too much about that now until you find out if you do have a baby on the way or not.
If I were you I would wait until my next period to start the birth control pills. Although many people claim they do not harm unborn babies, I am highly suspicious that it does cause them hormonal defects. Try not to engage in sex this month and start the pill next month if you aren't pregnant. Note that the pill is only 92% effective on preventing pregnancy with TYPICAL usage--the 99% bullsh!t is for perfect usage, and we simply are not perfect beings.
So, yes, go on and have the pregnancy test done at planned parenthood. Pick up your birth control pills if you'd like but try to wait to find out if you are indeed pregnant before decided to take them.
I just want to note that I'm fairly glad that you aren't jumping to aborting the possible fetus already like some women are. I'm not sure if it's a consideration for you or not--but I do hope you don't choose to abort. You'll get through this one way or another if you're pregnant without having to kill a part of you, you know what I mean?
You're making adult decisions by having sex.
Start making an adult life for yourself.
It sounds silly because you're only 16--but if you're going to make adult decisions then you need to act like an adult. Sounds like you're starting to get your head on your shoulders by taking the initiative to get a pregnancy test done and birth control pills if you aren't pregnant already.
Feel free to ask me if you have any more questions. :)
