I am writing this for my little sister as right now she is very scared, but this is the gist of it:
- She's 17 years old in Northern VA, and she's not ready for a kid.
- If she is pregnant, she will want an abortion. However our parents cannot find out about this. We're unsure if Virginia is a state in which we can use a judiciary bypass, but I know Washington D.C is, and I can help her out by driving her (40 minutes) if necessary.- She's had unprotected sex once in mid-august of this year but at that time she took the plan b pill and had a period almost immediately after
- A second incident occured when the condom broke with her and her boyfriend, she took the pill then and the period came a bit later then, but it came again.
- Since August until now she's had 4 periods, but she can't remember when the last one was (though I remember it being a while ago, possible the beginning of september).
- On Wednesday September 26, 2012 she had unprotected sex again, but did not want to take the plan b pill for a third time as it was expensive.
- She can't remember when her last period was as she has had so many in the past month she's not sure what her cycle is like.
However now, she is concerned that she is pregnant. Though it's only been 3 nights since the incident, we have very strict parents so I know my parents, though would help her, they would ruin her emotionaly and mentally and possibly cut her off financially which she can't afford right now as she is applying to college and has a very good chance at some good schools. Is there anything she can do? Is there anythign I can do to help her?We want to take care of this as quickly, effeciently, and discreetly as possible.

Hi concerned,
First, you don't know if she is pregnant. You need to wait at least 2 and preferably 3 weeks before testing.
Second, VA does require consent. There are alternatives to the parents however. Grandparents or another adult relative may sign consent - check.
Third, judiciary bypass would require going to court and, usually, getting an attorney. It is not guaranteed.
Fourth, she really should be talking to her parents about this. It's great that you're there for her but YOU are not her PARENT. Abortion, for many women, is not just a do it and forget it thing. Lots of women feel guilt afterwards and your sister WILL need someone to talk to.
Finally and it will sound harsh. Your sister needs to be on regular birth control. Plan B is not meant to be taken except in emergencies. It is a very large dose of hormones and has side effects. Your sisters period is likely irregular due to the pill. If she's not ready to be a parent then having unprotected sex is not the smart thing to do.
Good luck.
