Sounds like you started your period, which is VERY lucky for you.

If you plan on continuing to be sexually active, make an appointment with a gynecologist, have an exam and get on birth control.

This situation is a lesson learned for you: you were scared that you were pregnant, which means you are not ready to be pregnant. Take measures to ensure you won't be getting pregnant any time soon by taking birth control and always, always, always using condoms. No excuses! Even if your boyfriend says he'll pull out, you still have a huge chance of becoming pregnant.

Yeah, I hate to say it, but your at a 90% chance of child bearing.

I always hear that there are people that don't use protection, and get a bit too presumptuous and end up pregnant.

The only things I can advice you to do is=

1: Get a Pregnancy Test

2: Talk to a Doctor in private

3: Let you parents know (if they are supportive, and if they are, this will be the hardest thing to do, but in the end, it'll help)

4: Depending on your political stature, (Pro-Life or Pro-Choice), and your BF's position on taking care of a baby, will depend on the Baby's fate.

~~~The best thing you can do is give it up for adoption. It'll be hard to do so, but It's best for your fate if you need the best future you can get when you need a important job.

~You can also go for an abortion, discretely, without your parents knowing (if you are Pro-Choice).

~If your parents are supportive, you can have them raise the child, and it'll become your secret "brother" or "sister".

~Lastly, if you can't do anything else, the biggest warning I will give you, is a lot of Boyfriends that have sex with their girlfriends at this age are VERY IMMATURE, and will NOT HELP YOU raise YOUR BABY (95% won't). So, the most unfortunate situation is you getting kicked out of your house, and not being able to raise your child by yourself, because you don't have a job that pays well enough for you and your child, and living in the alley of a restaurant, sleeping near a pack of rabid rats. I am hoping this DOES NOT HAPPEN to you. I hope that your best chances will be with your boyfriend helping you raise your child, or adoption.

Just remember, if a "boyfriend" asks you to have sex at that age, you should dump him immediately. It's the most humane thing to do to a guy you love. Otherwise, if faced with no choice, protection IS A MUST!

Spotting can be a sign of pregnancy, but if your period is supposed to start soon, it could just be the start of your period. Give yourself a couple of weeks. If you haven't started then, you should take a pregnancy test.

If you're worried about being pregnant (sounds like you don't want to be pregnant), you should be taking steps to make sure you won't get pregnant. Visit with a gynecologist and get on birth control. At the very least, make your boyfriend use condoms. Read the instructions in the box to be sure you're putting them on correctly so they don't break.

If you're mature enough to have sex, you're mature enough to be responsible about it. Otherwise, you should abstain.
