TEEN QUESTION/PROBLEM:
Alright so I'm on the pill and have been for about two years. I just lost my virginity this past weekend. I had taken every pill this month but i'm sure there is a chance that at some point i had to double up because i forgot one day...but i took all of them. Sunday was the designated day that i began the "fake pills" that you take when you are going to be on your period that week. That night i had sex and he ejaculated inside of me. On monday i went and took the Plan B pill just in case. I normally start my period on Tuesday and it is now Thursday. How likely is it that i am pregnant? Could it be this late because of me stressing out? Does plan B cause you to be late if you take it the week you are supposed to have your period? Should i stop worrying about it or should i go get a pregnancy test and when will it be accurate?

TEEN QUESTION/PROBLEM:
I've been searching the web for help about this and can't really get consistent answers. I'm really scared of being pregnant and tend to be extremely paranoid about it, so forgive me for sounding crazy.I was wondering what the chances are of getting pregnant by using the bathroom. I had my boyfriend's semen on my hands. I wiped it off, used hand sanitizer (which I'm not sure kills sperm), washed quickly with cold water, went home (by this time my hands were dry), washed again with hot water and soap, then used the bathroom.I'm worried that I could have transferred semen to myself through the toilet paper. I also worry that when I put my gloves on (after my quick first wash) I transferred semen to them and then put myself at risk again when I put my hands in them the next day.I've been told that sperm dies when dry, that it cannot swim through toilet paper, and that soap and water will kill it, but I would like a second opinion from a real person.I'm also on my very first pack of Seasonique, a three-month birth control pill, where you have one period every three months. This my first time using birth control. I took my inactive pills and had my period two weeks early (as in, I chose to take them before I should have and picked back up with my two leftover weeks of active pills when the inactive ran out), but otherwise I've taken my active pills at the same time every day. I'm not sure if I could have ovulated because I used them out of order, and I wondered if you had any advice about this as well. The semen incident happened on the last day of my inactive pills, and I worry that I could have been ovulating when it happened.I would really, really appreciate any advice. I'm consumed by the fear that I've gotten myself pregnant this way and I can't take this stress anymore.

TEEN QUESTION/PROBLEM:
Hello. I turn 18 in a few days and im graduating in a few days. Ive always been a good girl and ive has pride in myself for staying pure for all these years. Before about a week ago i had only kissed 3 guys. Well last week i hung out with this guy and we made out. Then somehow we were both naked and just makin out. And then he said lets have sex and i kept telling him No. Well he didnt listen. So now im completly disguisted with myself. Anywayz i cant tell anyone about this including my parents. It would kill them. And well we didnt really have sex all the way. It was only halfway and he used a condom. I cant really say details cause it happened so fast. He said all i would say was no. And he should have listened to me. Idk what to do. My emotions are so confused because of this event. And the person i have told says i have a chance of being pregnant. And i wanna know what are my chances. Are they very low ? I mean when we were makin out he had no condom on until before he did what he did. Im so confused.

TEEN LINE WROTE:
Hey Thanks for reaching out to us at TEEN LINE. It sounds like you are feeling powerless and confused. Your right that guy should have listened to you and you did not do anything wrong. If he continued when you said no it is not ok, and is considered rape. Because of this you do have the ability to report him to the police if you feel comfortable. There is no way of knowing if you are pregnant or not without checking. Your friend sounds really wise, you could get checked by a doctor because after having sex whether it is protected or not there is still a chance of getting pregnant or getting an STD. The protection does reduce the risk; however, you never know. To get more information you can also call Planned Parenthood at 800-230-7586 or you can go to www.plannedparenthood.org . You sound really strong for dealing with this and telling others about it. I wonder have you told others besides your friend about this? Maybe you can talk to a family member, a teacher, or a school counselor. We would also love to talk to you about what is going on because it sounds intense. Our number is 310-855-4673 and we are open from 6-10pm PST.
