Scared,

Check a pregnancy test. If you are having unprotected sex, even right after your period, you still need to make sure you are not pregnant.

It is important that you always use condoms. Even if your boyfriend said you are his first, you have to assume otherwise. You might also want to take oral contraceptives along with using condoms. The pill will help prevent pregnancy, but won't work to prevent STD's and HIV/AIDS.

Also, please do not type in caps or use words such as help and using exclamation points (the forum rules are posted weekly). The Drs. ask that you not do this. It won't get your question answered faster. If your question is urgent, always call your real life Dr. or go to the ER.

Go get a pregnancy test and take it, and start using condoms...also, talk to your Dr. about oral contraceptive pills.
