Okay, soo im 16 and me and my boyfriend have been dating for quite a long time, and the subject of having sex has came up. I am pretty sure i am ready, actually i KNOW i am ready. But im worried about getting pregnant. He said if we do, we will wear a condom and pull out. Also, we plan on doing it this weekend, i am positive i dont start my period til next week, is it not safe to do it this close to when i start it?
PLEASEEE HELPP. and dont write immature rude replies. this is a serious question.
 
Not safe as in what?

Health wise, your period is not unhealty....you can have sex close to or even on your period. You always have some dischage....period you just have more and it contains the lining of the uterus. The lining of the uterus is made so it can support you carrying a baby, so there is nothing unhealthy about it. Is a little messy is all. Have sex close to or on your period does not pose any health risks.

If you mean risk of pregnancy.....highest chance is around 14 days after the first day of your period....that is the adverage time for ovulation to occur, however you can get pregnant any time you have sex. Unless you are trying to get pregnant and so aiming for the most likely to be fertile days, you should not try to consider any days "safer" then others to have sex without risk of pregnancy.
 
It's not dangerous to have sex close to your period. It is even possible to have sex during your period although some guys find this gross and many women just want to be left in peace at that time!

Definitely make sure your boyfriend wears a condom and make sure it is rolled all the way up so it cannot roll off again. If you are new to condoms, take off your rings and make sure your nails are not too long becuase it is so easy to make a hole in them. Play around with one on your own to get an idea of how to handle them!

Also, don't set a date for losing your virginity. Let it come spontaneously and only if you really feel like it at that moment. Sex the first time is nearly always a load of rubbish, so don't get too excited... be patient. You have to learn together.
 
I would tell you to definitely go to Planned Parenthood and get birth control first. Planned Parenthood respects your privacy and they will not contact or disclose any of your information to your parents. Based on your income, you pay $0+, you can walk out of there the same day with birth control. But if for whatever reason, you have sex before you get birth control, there is "the morning after pill" (aka ECP or Plan B), you can also get this at Planned Parenthood. But go before this weekend, its so easy, your'e parents will never ever find out (believe me, I was that age too). Most women ovulate 12-14 days after the FIRST day of their last period, and always keep in mind that sperm can live in you for 4-5 days. Just be safe!
