Wait until you guys can get condoms

From Create Your Own Story

Great decision, it turns out is a myth that you can not get pregnant during your period. To you it is more important to be safe, rather than risk getting pregnant or an STI. Condoms work great if you use them every single time, but in most typical teenage couples who are only using condoms 14% of them get pregnant in the first year.

If you want to be even more careful, in many states like Illinois you don’t need a parent’s permission to go to a clinic or doctor to get a prescription for birth control. Many community clinics and planned parenthood offer birth control at a reduced price. With the many different kinds of birth control available there is something for everyone's preferences, and if you try one and it doesn’t work for you don’t give up try another!
