Me and my girlfriend had sex twice about two weeks ago. Her period was due around last Monday, the 20th. She usually starts every 18 days and is rarely more than a few days late. She is 5 days late obviously. I used a condom normally considering she isn't on birth control. I did not ejaculate inside of her regardless of the fact that I was wearing a condom. After intercourse was done she got worried that there may have been a hole in the condom, so I removed it and checked to find no holes. As she was still worried I then filled the condom up with water, again not finding a single leak. Now that she is late she thinks that precum may have slipped down the sides, out the bottom of the condom, and into her somehow. We went thru this process two times, finding no holes either time. The condoms themselves stayed firmly in place, never slipping off. At this point we can't afford to buy her a pregnancy test right away, so my question is. Should we be worried about her being pregneant? Or is it possible for a girl this regular with her periods to suddenly be over 5 days late?

lol I remember the flour babies too. All the kids in my class with me that had flour babies just threw them around and used the flour to bake cookies instead or something. Yeah like the flour babies really did anything.Of course, there was also a class I had where we had to take care of an egg and carry it around in a little basket and make sure it didn't crack that was in connection with parenting or something not sure what it was now. I just remember all the high school boys throwing the eggs at each other even though the teacher was yelling at them cuz they'd just killed their "baby" :rolleyes: . Gotta love those good ol high school memories :p. Anne :)
The so called sex education classes we had entailed watching videos about womens' cycles .... why we had them, how long each one lasted and for how many years :eek: .... like we didn't already know all this at the age of 14 or 15 ;) . Also about the development of female and males bodies, what happened when boys/men got an erection :D .... anybody would have thought we were aliens who had never seen a human body before :rolleyes: . It did nothing to stop any of us being curious about actually having sex nor was it explained about the consequences of unprotected sex or the problems with various forms of contraception. What would have been more productive (hehehe .... sorry for the pun here) would have been having it drummed into our heads about the consequences of girls getting pregnant.

The scariest part is that a child may be the "easiest complication" of unprotected sex. That can be seem as a blessing but things like stds and aids hardly fall in that category. I hardly think that as teenagers if they can't think about birth control they are hardly thinking about the other complications.

Definitely better scare tactics with STDs and AIDs... Man that was what scared me to death :eek: after I found out I was pregnant both times with both my girls was the thought of STDs or HIV. I thought I was going to have a heart attack when I had the HIV test both times after finding out I was pregnant. The wait period until I knew that I wasn't HIV positive those two times was one of the worst times in my life when I sat and contemplated what I would do if I found out I was HIV positive. I don't know how I would have dealt with that reality - I really don't know if I would have been able to handle that so I'm so glad I didn't get any STDs or HIV either time from either birth father or my ex husband. I always am so grateful that I didn't get HIV or some other disease and I know I'm lucky that I didn't have something worse happen to me that just being pregnant etc. So, yeah - STD and HIV/AIDS scare tactics are a better idea than what they do in schools.

Back in 1981 AIDS wasn't an issue as nobody knew about it .... if I had I probably would have been worried. At the time I was more 'bothered' about STD as I had been told lies about my ex-partner which included being told he was 'sleeping' around. It was enough to put me off sex for a while but of course being pregnant was another deterrent :rolleyes: .

First of all, I think the majority of people on this thread are far too judgmental and not being supportive at all. One thing you have to realize is that regardless of age or understanding people are going to have sex if they want to and this being a fact...you guys should be a little bit more objective and supportive. For the poster...there's a good chance that she's putting off her own period due to stress, that often happens to women...sometimes women even develop pregnancy-like symptoms without even being pregnant! One thing is for sure...pregnancy tests are definitely affordable (at wal-mart) and you need to find the money somewhere and get her tested so that you may move forward to the next step...if she's in school, have her go to a counselor or to a local clinic (many will do testing for free and will keep it confidential)...she needs to get this done with as soon as possible so that she may ease her mind. If she is really worried chances are that she isn't ready for sex or that she really needs to explore the possibility of birth control methods such as the pill, the patch, etc. You should have her visit a local clinic or her doctor (if her parents would approve of this). Good luck, I hope you reach the result you wish for.
KMichelle, I think you are misunderstanding this thread. Those of us that have been here for quite awhile understand that this is just someone who is playing around and NOT someone who was really coming for advice. So, no, we are not being overly judgemental, we are sick of being played with by people who come here just to get attention and make problems.
I can SOOOO relate! For me though it was right after my (now ex) husband left me. His best friend called me to tell me he had cheated on me the whole time we were married. He was with at least 4 people that I know of, likely more... I just was sooooo relieved that all tests came back healthy and clean. I think I really would have murdered him if I did have HIV from his behavior, or numerous other things... I definitely wouldnt have taken it well.
The wait period until I knew that I wasn't HIV positive those two times was one of the worst times in my life when I sat and contemplated what I would do if I found out I was HIV positive.

You all made me think of the time the girl posted about herself being a lesbian and that her and her partner wanted to adopt,,,,that was one that rattled everyones cage. Also kmichelle what brought you to the adoption.com website, again I am going to advise you to keep reading, and reading, and reading, I'm glad that i did this. It made me think before posting, also I wanted to get to know everyone a little bit better before posting, so that I didn't make myself seem insensitive, or all knowing, or just plain cocky. After alot of reading and learning about everyone, and what goes on in these forums I now feel like I am able to really have a valued opinion. And everyone thanks for the laughs I needed it today, These forums have been great for me thanks alot guys and gals,, andi
Hey all,
I know there have been some laughs and it is likely the thread was started as a joke to play on us.
With the new post though, it did remind me that new people coming here do not have enough experience on the site to determine the validity of a thread and I can see how one might see the jokes as a non supportive range or just being rude.
So with that, I'm going to close the thread. I'd really hate for someone looking for support to come here and think this is how they would be treated if they had a serious/real issue to discuss.
Thanks for understanding...
Crick :D
