Am I pregnant?

[randomuser1]

Hello, I'm 16 and me and my boyfriend had un protected sex for around 2 minutes quickly and went to have a shower afterwards. He claims he didn't cum inside me but im scared incase I am pregnant. I've had no symptoms and I don't know how to tell my local GP as they are my mum's friend. Any advice? Edit: I am also 3 days late with my period and have had slight suicidal thoughts and moments where I've broken down into tears

You can buy a pregnancy testing kit at your pharmacy. Instructions how and when t use come inside.

However...using unprotected sex is not good at your age and can result in not only unwanted pregnancies but also STDs.

If you are going to have intercourse with your boyfriend you mus take precautions.

Your GP is not allowed to discuss anything with your parents unless he feels you are at risk.

Maybe speak with the Nurse at your surgery and ask her advice about going on the pill, or other contraceptives.

If you are this worried about it I would suggest putting yourself on contraception to stop it from happening again.

Stress can make your periods late, but if your worried you can go and buy a test for £5 , also your GP is under strict confidentiality when it comes to their patients so they can’t tell your mum or parents anything it’s illegal no matter if they are friends or not , and your 16 so you can go to the doctors without your mum knowing and can also go in contraception without your parents knowing.

If you don’t want to get it from your doctor then you can go to a clinic or walk in centre and get contraception

Does contraception cost much as I don't have a job and I am going on holiday with my friends in a few days

[Bananas5 in reply to randomuser1]

Is your boyfriend going with you or are you planning to have sex with someone else?

No I wasn't planning on having sex on this holiday as it's with a bunch of girls from school.

[Bananas5 in reply to randomuser1]

Good. That gives a chance to sort out contraceptives for the future. Have you a girlfriend you can talk with?

Better to be safe in the future.

No it’s free for everyone, we’re you not taught this at school?

There are lots of different options

The pill (lots of different types) the coil the implant the injection just talk to the person about what you think will be best for you.

But still use condoms as this protects you from STDs

[Itsallinthehips in reply to randomuser1]

Sorry if that case across judgement just this is all things you should be taught by school and your parents tbh, but I’m glad you came on here and asked the questions rather than worrying yourself .

This is a safe place to talk about problems and issues so always remember that x

Thank you, I'll try and speak to my GP about it before I go on holiday. I just need an excuse to get a lift into town

[randomuser1 in reply to randomuser1]

At my school we never get told about how much contraception costs. We literally only ever got taught how to use a condom. And other means of contraception were missed out on

[randomuser1 in reply to randomuser1]

Also I have been stressed for a number of weeks as im about to start college and am leaving all my mates behind. Im also stressed about results day as I can't leave school without good grades and this college course is my dream

[Itsallinthehips in reply to randomuser1]

Yeah stress plays a huge part sometimes in making you late, there are a lot of many different things that could make you late so try not to worry to much hun, but definitely grab a test to put your mind at ease if you can or see if one of your friends can or even your boyfriend.

I think it’s actually nurses who might be dealing with contraception now actually , give your doctors a call and ask who you need to see about it and see if you can get an appointment when your home from holiday.

But don’t worry it’s all confidential and they will help you pick which one is best x

[Itsallinthehips in reply to randomuser1]

Could you say you want to find last bits for your holiday?

That’s outrageous your school should be teaching everyone much more than that that’s worrying. You can PM me if you want any help or advice that’s not on the main page x

Thank you

In my own opinion I'd definitely go to any health care provider you have available to you who deals with reproductive health. As Bananas5 says your GP cannot discuss you treatment with your parents (at 16) or anyone else without risking his licence, it's the law. There used to be faminly planning clinics, but with cuts I'm not sure if they exist any more, if they do, you should go to them for advice. There are many options but the safest is always condoms, if your boyfriend isn't willing to use them then he's not respecting your body and not worth continuing the relationship. I do remember being 16 and it's difficult to control yourself with all those hormones raging but do try to protect yourself, there's more at stake than an unwanted pregnancy?

You should go back to your GP and ask for a suitable contraceptive and a pregnancy test the same time. If you are pregnant then start preparing for the big day, this will mean telling your parents and boyfriend. From now on in you will need all the support you can get.

[Itsallinthehips in reply to Alanjones]

GP don’t do pregnancy tests anymore where I live

[Coramyla]

The go will not tell parents or anyone else it’s their hypocritical oath every doctor has to sign pop along and see them

She’s absolutely fine now everyone x
