Hi. I am Tricia and I am 16.Our stories are pretty similar. Like you and your boyfriend, My boyfriend of 2 years and I decided to make love and use a condom. And like you guys our condom also broke during intercourse. That was a week ago. I am waiting to take a test because I am pretty sure that i am going to become pregnant from it because it was right in the middle of my cycles. My boyfriend is being like your boyfriend too. He is being super supportive about it, He is calling my stomach maybe Junior.

So advice to anyone who think using a condom is enough. It isnt. 6% of condoms break. and they are actually only have an 85% chance rate to protect you. So if you and your sexual partner are not ready to bring a child into this world you might want to find another form of protection or have some day after pills just in case.
I never would have thought I might be having a child at 16. "Junior" will be due in May 2010 if I am. But I am not afraid.
Just be careful.
I hope all these stories help some girl or guy considering having sex. Be safe unless you really are ready to possibly become a parent. A parent is a 24 hour job. You can't quit being a parent.
