I was careless enough to decide to not make my bf wear a condom when we had sex for the first time so i fell pregnant at 15 and had an abortion 2 weeks ago, so ive started the pill now but im on another pill to help me with my skin and im scared that this might effect my contraception pill and that i might fall pregnant again! Im so worried that i even stay awake at night! Does anyone know if it will effect the pill?”

just to say to lauren sayin ur on the pill but you wont use condoms cuz they're hard to get, isnt really an exscuse, because if you have the time to go to the clinic n get the pill then why cant you get condoms while your there.
the pill dnt protect you from disease and you may trust your boyfriend, but if i was you i wuldnt take the risk, because ive seen it happen to many of my friends.”

I'm 17 and have been on the pill for just under a year. I've been with my boyfriend for a year and we NEVER use a condom solely for the fact that they're expensive. Yes you can get them free from clinics but they're hard to get a lot of the time! Even now I'm on the pill I still always have a slight panic in me when it comes to the time of my period eventhough I never forget to take it!”

Rochelle try and make your family understand but if they don't i think you should have the baby just as long as you and your partner can handle it because it's such a huge responsibility”

When I split up with my ex, he got his new girlfriend pregnant within a few weeks (she later had an abortion). I was devastated when I found out, especially because we hadn't used contraception for about two years before splitting up and it made me think I was infertile. We got back together and I fell pregnant within a few months although I didn't keep it as I hadn't expected or planned it.
Now, nearly two years after my abortion, I'm pregnant again but can't face another abortion so feel that I have to continue this pregnancy. I wish so much that I could turn back time and have used contraception so that I'd never have to live with the trauma of my abortion or now, have a child that I'm so definitely not ready for. For anyone in a similar position, I know the idea of a baby is lovely and you might think that you'll feel closer to your partner but the reality for both him and I is going to be so different. At 23, I feel my life has to be put on hold for this baby. I am absolutely terrified of the lack of control I've now put upon myself and all my plans to go travelling are over for at least 20 years. Who can backpack around the world with a baby in tow? Think about what you're doing and what you want out of life, I wish I had done...”

me and my boyfriend of 2 years have only used protection about 5 times, out of the whole time we have been together. and i have never gotten pregnant, and i know it's a stupid thing to do, because he prefers to have sex without a condom, and for the fact that after all this time i haven't got pregnant we continue do it. i have never been on the pill but ive considered having the injection just incase but their is that feeling that lingers in my head that makes me think that i cannot get pregnant should i want to, and i don't want to go on the injection of i cannot or if my chances are low because i don't want to ruin it anymore”

i'm 17 and i was on the pill but also taking antibiotics for a while because of a urine infection. The pill started making me feel really ill and messing up my periods so some times it would be 2 days long or 1 day. i went to the doctors who told me i was pregnant and should stop taking the pill. my boyfriend (who is 18) of over a year wasn't happy at all but i've decided against his wishes of abortion and am now 20 weeks pregnant. We haven't told our families but will have to soon as i'm starting to show. My boyfriend is trying to be there for me and we are still together and very much in love but i can tell he isn't happy with my choice.”

when i fell pregnant at 15 with a boy who was 19 i didnt use any contreseption because i was to caught up in the moment to even think about it. now thinking back i regret having my daughter so young and wished that i had waited for the right man. i did think about an abortion at the time but i found out that it would be hard for me to concieve in later life so i kept the baby because life is to short and my daughter is the best thing that ever happened to me.”

I was having sex with my boyfriend and i wanted to spice it up a bit so i tried a sexy dance and i offered to put the condom on, however when i went to open the packet i ripped it and we were all out of them so we decided to risk, i wish i didn't i want kids but just not so you but she is the best thing that happened to me now.”

i am in the same situation as 'KJ' me and my partner was not using any protection soley for the sense of feeling/pleasure. now my partner is just over 8 weeks pregnant and now ive ended up in a situation that i dont want to be. ime 20yrs old & want to go out and enjoy my life, not to tied down to the commitment of a child.I know this may sound a little selfish as so others, but i ahve spoken with my partner and explained to her that my desired age for children was 25...not 20.”
