TEEN LINE WROTE:
Hey, thanks for emailing TEEN LINE.
It seems like you're scared about the possibility of being pregnant. Even with protective sex, there's always the risk of pregnancy. Have you tried talking to your partner about your concerns? Or a friend, doctor, or school counselor? The only way to know if you are pregnant is to take a pregnancy test. Would you feel comfortable seeing your physician? You can also visit a local Planned Parenthood center for free or low-cost pregnancy testing. They also offer testing for STD's, which is really important when you're sexually active. To find a center near you, you can call the Planned Parenthood national hotline at 1-800-230-7526. You could also buy an at-home pregnancy test from a local pharmacy or market. It sounds like you're nervous as well. Maybe you could bring a friend or your partner with you for support. Also, if pregnancy can be ruled out, I urge you to talk to your doctor about your missed periods and health to make sure everything is okay. If you want to talk more, please don't hesitate to call TEEN LINE. We're open from 6 to 10 p.m. PST everyday. Our number is (310) 855-4673 and we'd love to talk to you. Good luck,
a TEEN LINE teen
