QuestionI've been having on going sex with this guy for about 3 months now. At first we used condoms, but then stopped. I'm on birth control, but last month not all of it was taken. A bunch of pills fell out in my purse and i wasn't taking them everyday. I would miss a day and then double up the next. I never got my period when i was supposed too, and had sex on the week i was supposed too and afterwards. I think i could be pregnant. Can you help?
AnswerHey,
I'd say that you are probably pregnant. But the only way of telling is with a pregnancy test, you can get one of these from your local supermarket. If it is positive, you need to tell the guy as soon as possible, as it his his responsibility too. If you are pregant, there are several options for you.
Abortion
If you are young, this is probably the best option for you. The foetus is painlessly removed, and you are free to live your life and hopefully learn from the experience to be more careful. There are side effects, but it is nothing compared to the stress and worry of keeping it.
Adoption
This is where you go through the pregnancy then give the baby to someone else. Keep in mind how hard pregnancys are, and how hard it would be to hand over the baby at the end.However, it would make another couple very happy, and if you are against abortion, it is the next best option for you.
Keeping it.
This is a huge decision, and not to be taken lightly. Can you provide a home for the baby, and provide for it finatialy? Is there someone to take care of it? Who will help you? Is the father willing to be involved?
Feel free to ask follow up,
