Birth Control Questions
im 17. im on birthcontrol althou for the past two months stupidly i havnt been taking them on time everyday. and because of that my period will come a week ahead. (i think so) last month my period first day came as brown and light. its annoying i thought its because i didnt take a pill one day out of the whole month. well needless to say when i fenally got red blood it was lighter than usual. this month i seriously would miss at least 2 pills every week i have no clue why i didnt mean to i just am very busy and tell myself oh ill take it when i get home and dont. FAIL! ugh. so i told my boyfriend that i missed and we used condoms. the rest of the time till i got my period. which happend firday that was light but ik it was there then like a day of brown and now i got a real one i have bad cramps that come and go like it would of course but the usually i would get A LOT of blood and i dont. the thing is in the back of my mind a little part of me wants a baby but listen i havnt done everything i wanted to in life yet hey i havnt even got really drunk before maybe not a great goal but how am i supposed to do things like that when im pregnant or have a baby. and im i know many girls around my age all want a baby KINDA!!! but really i dont. i might be freaking out but in these two months i threw up like once or tiwce randomly its just weird you know. if anyone has stories to tell me that relates to me right now please put me at ease that im not pregnant i feel stupid because i feel like i worry about being pregnant all the time b.c i have sex of course ill have the thought right before my period comes. but heres another thing every month before my period i get bloated and my boobs hurt and it hasnt, its really annoying to think this and have it on my mind. i hear that even when your on birthcontrol that you still get your "period" even if you are pregnant. and im not wasting my money on a test if im just not you know.

If you're concerned, you should take a pregnancy test and get it over with, so you can put your mind at ease; there's really no other way to know for sure. If you have trouble remembering to take your pill, you might do better with a shot or implant. It's good that you're using condoms as a backup when you know you've missed a pill, but it sounds like daily pill-taking might not be the best fit for you. Remember too that vomiting and/or diarrhea can make the Pill ineffective, if the hormones are ejected from your system before they are absorbed.
As far as having a baby, bear in mind that you have your whole life ahead of you, and plenty of time to have a baby. That's not something you want to do until you are in a stable, supportive relationship where you feel emotionally secure and financially ready for a baby. Motherhood is a lifelong commitment, and you need to have some of your own life first.
