I am 22 and just recently lost my virginity to my boyfriend of 9 months about two days ago. We used a condom... but we used ones that I had picked up at a parade... and they had been sitting in the sun. I had not a clue that temperature and heat effected condoms durability, but that makes sense. And that is also a scary thought. I am not on any form of birth control because since cancer runs in my family, my parents didnt like the idea of hormones and the pill and the connection between added hormones and cancer. Anyways, I really thought I would abstain from sex until I was ready to have a kid if i somehow became pregnant... but i didn't. And, now I am paranoid at the possibility of becoming pregnant. I am becoming soooo depressed at the idea. I absolutely know that if I got pregnant at this point in time i would have an abortion... and he would not approve.... and I know that I would probably do it behind his back and that could destroy our relationship. The reason that I don't want to have kids right now is because I am a career driven girl without the finances yet for raising a child. I feel I would be a bad mother at this point in my life and adoption would complicate my life and the lives of others. Also, I am still in college and have lots of debt to pay off. Still, I felt like losing my virginity to him was a good decision... but I am so stressed out worrying about whether I am safe... or whether I am pregnant, that I am wondering if this is all worth this added stress. It bothers me alot. I am wondering if i should just not have sex again with him.... and see if this bothers him....
I was in a very similar situation.. first thing you should do is take a pregnancy test, or go see the doctor. Once you find out whats happening things are easier to work out and "what if" situation dont stop you thnking logically.
I found out i was pregnant and had an abortion behind my boyfriends back, also for carreer purposes. It wasnt as bad as expected i found this site useful, its a way to get personal advice but from a distance.
The actual abortion wasn't as bad as i expected and as for the relationship i needed a bit more space and felt a little weird about sex for a while but after that i was ok.
The worst bit for me was not getting my period when i expected it, just make sure you research and know what to expect.
My advice, which is just my personal view as someone who has been through something similar, is to find out if you are pregnant or not. then if you are get to the doctor. if you trust your boyfriend it might be best to talk to him though... although i dont regret what i did you might find it easier to talk to him.
anyway feel free to contact me.
Good luck
