let me start off by saying i'm only 18. but i figure many of you are either expecting or have children, so you might know more then i do.

a month ago i had unprotected sex right before my period started. i'm NOT on the pill, the guy pulled out, and everything was fine, and i got my period two days later. BUT this month, it seems to be taking it's sweet time. i'm about five days late and worried sick. i don't know what i'd do if i were pregnant, but is this normal? what are the chances of getting pregnant if he pulled out? i know this was a stupid mistake, but i just need some advice.

For starters the first thing I would do is take a HPT. If the test turns out positive then you can take it from there. In my opinion I think your chances are pretty safe that you aren't so if you take the HPT and it is negative I would just wait until it does show up. Sometimes stress can cause crazy delays in your menstual cycle so instead of worrying yourself to death, take the test using FIRST MORNING URINE and then go from there. Most women ovulate 2 weeks before they get their period so if you had sex a day or two before it came then I would bet you are fine. Mind you women and their cycles are crazy so anything is possible, BUT my opinion still stands that you aren't.

i really hope that you are right. it still hasn't come, but i think i'm going to buy a pregnancy test today. this will be day six of not having it. i have slight dull aches in my lower stomach once in awhile but not significant enough for me to think they're menstrual cramps. thanks for your advice.

Hi Pixiestarr

I understand how scary this whole situation can be for you. I got pregnant for the first time when i was 21 and I was scared to death! I was also not on any birth control and my boyfriend was also using the pulling out method. It didnt work. Not once did he ever finish inside of me and i still got pregnant. i am on aol under angelbabieHX if you want to talk which it really looks like you need to talk... write to me. Maybe i can help you feel better. I hope!
