Wait for sex on Pill????
| Sat, 10-02-2004 - 7:24pm |
I'm 16 years old and I just started taking the Pill. I'm only 2 days into the pack. The reason I went on the pill was because I had painful and irregular periods and I want to be as safe as possible when I have sex. I'm a virgin, but my boyfriend and I have decided that we are ready to have sex. In that decision i told him that I had to go on the pill first, and he had to use a condom. Getting pregnant in one of my worst fears, so i want to be as responsible as possible. I was wondering how long i have to wait before i have sex on the pill. I've heard everything from 7 days, 22 days, to a month. I just want a hard figure i can rely on. Sex is very important to me, and I want to do the right thing.
I would appreciate some feedback as this is pivotal to my sexual safety.
Thank you!!

Hi,
I’m sorry hon. iVillage’s Terms of Service don’t allow anyone below the age of 18 to post on this board. We do refer teens to more age-appropriate sites: www.teenwire.com is a very good site for teens that is run by Planned Parenthood. www.cosmogirl.com and www.bolt.com are also on our list of sites recommended for teens and scarleteen.com http://www.scarleteen.com/ and gurl.com http://www.gurlpages.com/ are two others that are pretty good. Even though teens can't post here, we can't stop them (or anyone else) from reading the vast quantities of information that we do provide. The board's FAQs are very good in providing an overview of the subject. For most people's questions, the answers are here, all it takes is a little looking.
Take care,
Jill
