We need to talk about sex in this country. We have screwed up laws about teaching only abstinence in the class room. Sex is fun and we expect our teenagers to avoid it because a teacher or the church says so? I don't think so. Hell, most of us can't even avoid the chocolate cake with to many calories. When I was 17 my high school boyfriend asked me to marry his and I said yes. We didn't wait to have sex until the wedding night. I believed him when he said you can't get pregnant if you have sex in the water. I ended up pregnant, then I ended up in the courtroom, and then in an abortion clinic. All because people don't talk about sex in America.
Now I'm 33 and I'm 10 days late. I don't know why but I now know that a pregnancy test can incorrectly test for up to 14 days after your menstrual cycle was due. So, now I'm debating between buying a test and peeing on it tomorrow and waiting until the 14th day is up and doing it then. But I didn't know any of that until I started looking it up. We don't talk about sex but we get all upset about the mistakes kids make cause they don't know.
So here are a few tips
*If you are on the pill antibiotics make them less effective.
*If you are using and IUD and it pokes your counterparts penis the wires may be to long. Talk to your dr about trimming them.
*You can get pregnant if having sex in water.
