How can I ask my doctor I think I can't get pregnant without getting a lecture?

Sorry, but there is just no way. No one wants to see a pregnant teen. It just isn’t cool.

Its not that I want to, its ive had unprotected sex for over a year and I havent gotten pregnant once. I don’t want the doctor to help me get pregnant, its just now I’m wondering, can I even have children?

And I really dont appreciate the automatic response of just because I’m 17 you feel to point out my age. I legitimacy have a concern I can’t have children- now or in the future. The reason I asked the question in the first place was because I knew I was going to get THE EXSACT response from a doctor such as the ones you two just provided me. Thanks.

Well, you are obviously trying to get pregnant. Why else would you have been having unprotected sex for a year? It doesn’t make sense why someone who doesn’t want a baby is deliberately not trying to use protection.

And how do you expect anyone not to have a problem with it, you are 17, not yet an adult. It’s irresponsible and your doctor is going to think the same.

Ive been with my boyfriend for 2 years and every month my period came. Eventually after I got emancipated, so yes, technically I am an adult, I stopped using BC and nothing has happened. So this is where the concern is

Then tell your doctor. So what if he gives you a speech? And even being emancipated dones’t meen that you should have children at 17.

Why not just talk to your Dr. with your concerns…tell him WHY you feel this way. He’d be better at knowing if your concerns are legitamate or not. He will tell you that 17 is too young to try and get pregnant, especially if you aren’t married…but he might just put your mind at ease at the same time.

ya i agree im only 13 but my dads a doctor and he would never do that.

Try not going in the first place u silly girl.

You do realize, MANY couples try for YEARS to have children…with no success…and NOTHING is wrong with them.

If you ARE even 17…you should know something about conception, how it works, etc…it’s not a magic bullet you’re firing, it takes “success”.

BESIDES which, if the GUY has a problem, then it’s pointless for YOU to go to the doctor. Are you 100% sure he didn’t get fixed and isn’t shooting blanks?

And why am I almost positive this guy is in his twenties…?

wow… hes my boyfriend of 2 years. He actually just turned 17 also so you know what? You are really rude to even say that. We met in my science class so… I dont even know why i’m even explaing this to you because it doesn’t even matter. You really need to be a lot more senative to people. Some people at there actually have concerns and are scared to ask. I’m 17, not a stupid 13 year old. My mother got pregnant 15 and many times before that… so. anyways. You need to stop judging and thinking I’m a whore or some crap because I was actually having a concern. I called my doctor and I have an appt set up. I will let you know if my “20 or so boyfriend” has problems or not also. You are really mean and give the worse advice ever.
