    Ok I think I'm ready to lose my virginity with my boyfriend. I just want to know though waht "exact" precautions do I take before actually having sex. I'm 17, am I entitled to see a doctor on my own without a parent knowing to get a prescription for the pill? Also Is the pill all I need and a condom all he needs? I'm sure my boyfriend could tell me this though I just want to be 100% sure.

    Thanks.

    I would strongly recommend u to speak to ur doctor and yes u can speak to him/her with out having an adult with u. He/she will tell u what exact precautions u both need to take.
    Pill i recommend but its sort of a trial and error. Some types of pills may not agree with u and make u feel UNWELL. I'd wait about 2 weeks after u started the pill before u take the next stage just in case the one prescribed is not the one for u. Ur boyfriend will need to have a condom for sure....
    Dont be surprised if ur doc recommends u to talk to one of ur relations (Mum, Dad, Aunt etc) U should have at least one person to talk to if u have any questions/problems otherwise u may feel that there is no-one u cud talk to and the situation ur in is a dead end. Note for you: with any problem there is never a dead end u always will have someone to talk to and a corner to turn :)

    If the doc asks her to do that then he's not living in the real world.
    I agree with all the precaustions, but if the OP is ready then she's ready - if you feel comfortable then go for it. Don't overthink it.

    Well done for being responsible OP. If living in a bigger town you may be better to go to a family planning clinic if you feel uncomfortable talking to your GP, although I doubt any doctor in this day and age would tell you to discuss it with your parents.

    Find a pill that suits you, read the leaflet carefully and remember any vomiting or diarrhea renders the pill useless so you must be vigilant and that's why important you use both the pill and a condom as protection.

    If your BF is also a virgin get him to practice putting on a condom/masturbating with one before you decide when you want to have sex.

    Make sure you are 100% ready and comfortable and don't feel pressurised to go ahead with this if you don't want to. If you do, keep safe, remember you are not going to be screaming the house down with multiple orgasms just yet and it may be painful/unpleasant. HOWEVER, sex is an amazing and fabulous thing so I hope it all goes well for you OP, enjoy:)

    The chances of that being the case though decrease hugely if you relax relax relax. And if you make sure there's foreplay foreplay foreplay until you are physically prepared for penetration - we girls need that. And take things slowly.
    If you haven't already, start to get to know your own body by finding out what you enjoy. This will make foreplay fabtastic (and, ultimately, the sex).

    May it be great! :)

    This made me giggle, but, I have to agree with it!!!! The first time I was gonna have sex I could not get the Condom on!!!

    Tell your BF to "Go Posh" a few times,

    Both partners should have STI checks before intercourse without condoms. I would advise this even if you are a virgin because STIs can be picked up in a variety of weird fashions.

    Your GP, or other doctor, will be able to give you a pill prescription, assuming that you have no contravening medical issues. Read the leaflet carefully, and learn what can affect the pill. I would still recommend condoms at the start when taking the pill (call me a worrier, but the human body isn't precise, and I don't believe that the pill has an immediate 100% effect).

    Most of all try to relax and enjoy the experience. It will get better and better with practise.
