I need advice: I have unprotected sex with my boyfriend on 10/28/12 could I be pregnant.
Question Posted Wednesday November 28 2012, 10:56 am
Hi. I have my period on 10/20/12 and it ended on 10/24/12, my length period is 32. So, I have unprotected sex with my boyfriend on 10/28/12 could I be pregnant.
Should your period come on its normal schedule or a few days late then you are not pregnant. Taking a home pregnancy test now is a reliable way of finding out if your pregnant. Buy two tests. If the first one is positive wait a day or two and test again. If they are both positive see a doctor for a blood test.
There are two good reasons why you should not have unprotected sex. The first of course is that a condom when worn correctly by the boy is 85% effective at preventing pregnancy. The second is STDS. Condoms while not blocking all STDS do block many of them. It is for your own health that you take all precautions you can to prevent getting an STD or AIDS virus from sex.
If you are 14 or over a law called HIPPA allows for you to see a doctor for any and all reasons concerning your reproductive health without parental knowledge or permission.
Congress passed this law so that Young people such as yourself would seek medical help for any problems related to their reproductive health knowing their parents could never know what they are being treated, or seen for by the doctor.
You have total medical confidentiality in this regard. Without your written permission the doctor cannot release information to anyone and this includes your parents. This law also means mom, dad or guardian cannot force their way into an examination room with you unless invited by you. All you have to say to the doctor is you invoke your rights under HIPPA. The doctor will take it from there.
This also means that by being over 14 years of age you can ask for and receive birth control medication from your doctor. Here again your request and the prescription for along with the filling by the pharmacy is totally confidential. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]

If you don't trust what the pt says, then make a doctors appointment and have an hcg blood test done. [ Rena-Chan's advice column | Ask Rena-Chan A Question ]
