my boyfriend and i are having sex but i can't get on birth control because i know my mom will find out!
We are using condoms but they only work sometimes so when is the worst time for getting pregnant so we can not have sex when there is the most chance of getting a full belly?
Generally speaking, you ovulate at 14 days after your period ends. Semen can survive up to a week if they get to the fallopian tubes, which means that sex a week after your period can get you pregnant. Before that, its relatively unlikely (as in something abnormal has to happen for you to get pregnant)
Look into VCF and lube. VCF is Vaginal Contraceptive Film. Little breath strip looking things that dissolve into spermicide inside you. They can absorb a bit of moisture, so lube is a good investment, but it provides a second line of defense in case of condom breaks. That's also another reason for lube, you want things nice and lubricated so the condom doesn't break from friction.
VCF is quoted as being like 85% effective at preventing what otherwise would have been a pregnancy when no other contraception is present. Used with condoms, it should give you some good protection. Follow the instructions on the box, you have to put it in and wait 15 minutes. You find the stuff in the same aisle as condoms. Tell your friends about it, as I'm sure you know a bunch of other teens who are young and stupid and have only condoms to use for contraception.
And get on birth control. Google planned parenthood, go to the one closest to you, and talk to them about options. This is why we tell kids they're too young for sex, you're being stupid in thinking that an accidental pregnancy is a better thing to risk than risking your parents finding out you have sex.
You're acting like a child. Protect yourself. If your parents find out, at worst, thats four years of hell before you can get out. If you get knocked up, your parents find out, and its a minimum 18 year and 9 month sentence. Use your damned head. [ WittyUsernameHere's advice column | Ask WittyUsernameHere A Question ]

there is no absolute date that getting pregnant would be least likely. just stick with using a condom, and be sure he pulls out. NEVER let him ejaculate inside you, even with a condom on. [ laynemayhem's advice column | Ask laynemayhem A Question ]
SecretDreamer95 answered Tuesday February 16 2010, 10:56 pm: if you are worried about getting pregnant having sex isn't the best idea. birth control is never 100%. you can go on google and type in ovulation calculator and it'll ask you some questions and then it'll tell you when you 'shouldn't' have sex because you are more likely to get pregnant about that time.. it prob isn't all true but if you wanna try and go by that you can. good luck [ SecretDreamer95's advice column | Ask SecretDreamer95 A Question ]
