How Do You Avoid A Teenage Pregnancy?
• Abstain from sex (don’t do it at all) to be 100% sure you will not get pregnant. Even the smallest pre-ejaculate fluid or semen coming into contact with the vagina can result in a pregnancy, so having any sex, even with protection, presents risks. • Use birth control (condoms, birth control pills, spermicide, etc.). Many can be used in conjunction with others, while some cannot. Speak to your doctor and don’t be afraid to ask questions – it’s your body and your health. Use Plan B contraceptive (sometimes called the “morning after pill”) within 3 days of sexual intercourse if you are ever afraid of a possible pregnancy. It should not be used as a birth-control method, but as an emergency aid.
