2 to 3 weeks

According to planned parenthood it take 2 to 3 weeks after sex for pregnancy to begin for some people it takes as early as a week after pregnancy for symptoms to start showing. Overall that's around 3 to 4 weeks.

If used perfectly every time condoms are 98% effective in preventing pregnancy. People aren't perfect so in reality condoms are effective around 85% of the time also according to planned parenthood.

Similarly if you take birth control on the exact same time every day it 99% likely that you won't get pregnant if not you chances of getting go up to 9%. This doesn't really matter to me though. I never told my parents I was having sex so they never thought they needed to put me on the pill, and honestly neither did I. How likely was it that I was going to be apart of 15% . Apparently pretty likely.

I took the test 2 weeks after it happened. I don't know why, I hadn't had any symptoms. Maybe it was walking in of my dad asleep in front of TV while reruns of the show "teen mom" was playing. Or maybe it was the health lesson we had in class. But it didn't matter how I made the choice to take the test, all that mattered now was that I was looking at two lines instead of one.

I had went to the drugstore and bought multiple different tests and walked to the counter biting my nails nervously. It'll be negative I had told myself, no as I looked at the multiple positive tests in front of me I almost laughed out loud.

What was I gonna tell him. We had broken up just the other day due to his stupid two week rule. He's probably found a new girlfriend. Don't tell him the thought only crossed my mind for a second and I immediately felt guilty.

we need to talk . meet me under the bleachers tomorrow at school
sent 10:30 pm

All night I thought of what to say and possible ways it could go wrong. what if he doesn't show up? what if he tells the whole school? what if he freaks out? Well I guess that would be a fair reaction.

The next day I got to school way earlier than I needed to. I sat under the bleachers for a solid hour and finally people started to arriving at school but not him. It's Shawn he's always late apart of me said, but I still hadn't gotten a response to my text only the message changing to

Was my fear coming true was he really gonna be a no-show? About 5 minutes before class started I was prepared to have to go to class and just text him the news he would probably leave you on read then too a bitter part of me said. That was when I heard giggling and Shawn's voice.

"You get to class I need to talk to a friend" he said

How had I guessed it he didn't already have a new girlfriend. I rolled my eyes and rubbed my hands on my pants.

"Dana?" Shawn called

"Over here" I snapped

Shawn walked over and awkwardly shoved his hands in his pockets "so what'd you wanna talk about?" he asked staring at the ground

I took a deep breath and stood straight and said it "I'm pregnant"
