Okay, haven't posted in here in a few days.
So, the other night, he and I had sex again. >.< It was kinda one of those in the heat of the moment things so we didn't have protection, and (even though I know the pullout method isn't effective) that's what he did.
But, I went to the store today with my friend and her mom after school (I just told her mom I needed to get something and she had to do errands anyway and was cool with it; my friend knows). Toward the end of school today I was feeling kinda crampy and went to the bathroom to see if I had started my period but hadn't (I noticed last night when I went to the bathroom my discharge had a slight pink tinge to it so I wasn't sure if I was going to start or not). I got Plan B, though, and took that just under an hour ago after we ate. The people at the Walmart pharmacy weren't very kind though.
As my friend and I were walking through Walmart, we were talking and filling each other in on the stuff we've missed from each other (she doesn't have her phone or anything) and she said, "I'll hold your hand while you get an abortion," which we both kinda laughed about 'cause of the way she said it and I said, "That's good to know."
But, I took the pill and her mom dropped me off. I went to the bathroom just a few minutes ago and noticed I started my period. >.< So, I almost feel like I've now wasted $41+ of my money (it would've been $51-something but I got a $10 off coupon from the website) since I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to make you start your period and I'm pretty sure it wouldn't work so fast. But, since I know it's possible to get pregnant while on your period, I do feel good that I took it.
But, while I was at school this morning, I texted my mom and told her to go ahead and make a doctor's appointment so I can get on the pill. My appointment is at 10:30 on Friday. Since I've started my period though, how exactly will the appointment go?

It's good that you took Plan B. But don't forget that it's not as effective as birth control and isn't meant to replace birth control.
Once you get the pill, you have to wait at least a week before it becomes effective. And what about if you lose your pills? Or forget a couple? Or run out and can't get back to the doctor? Can you go without sex or consistently use condoms during times like that? Or will you two just jump on each other no matter what?
It might be something to think about and discuss with your partner. Because if you're having pregnancy scare after pregnancy scare, that's not a good sign. Being truly ready for sex also means being ready to handle all the responsibilities that come along with it, having self control, and being safe every time.
I'd recommend calling the doctor's office. Tell them what you were coming in for, tell them you just got your period, and ask if you can still come in or if you need to reschedule.

Sheesh, I haven't updated in a while. Woo for things being crazy.
Anywho, my appointment was on the nineteenth. Turns out what I thought was my period actually wasn't - just more spotting.
Didn't need a pelvic exam or anything. She just asked me questions and ran over the options of what I could to for birth control (pill or the Depo shot).
She had me pee in a cup for a pregnancy test. Peeing on command into a cup is not easy. >.<
Not pregnant but she wants me to take a pregnancy test in a week (two weeks from the day of the appointment) just in case.
Started my period (finally) last Saturday.
I got put on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo and I started that last Sunday.
My period hasn't completely stopped yet, like it normally would have, but I also know that's because of starting the birth control and my body needs to adjust.
I'm hoping as well as the pill doing what it's meant for that it'll also help get rid of my acne.
