[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 185621, member: 1991"] At her age it's not unusual for periods to be erratic with occasional spotting and other changes in pattern. I'd be using this time while she's in panic mode to work with her (using her fear as impetus) to get her onto contraception. An implant springs to mind - she can't forget to take THAT. I talked to both my girls and made it clear - if they make the choice to be sexually active, then they MUST take on the sexual responsibility that goes with it. That includes using protection (and that's using condoms as well as hormonal methods); pap smears; breast checks; injections for cervical cancer (preferably before ANY more sexual contact); learning about emotional responsibility, and so on. Can't have one without the other. Because if she gets pregnant, someone has to be responsible for the baby. Responsibility should begin BEFORE sexual activity, but it often doesn't. So she's got some catching up to do. Here's hoping it's a false alarm. I'd be quietly getting her tested before telling husband. Marg [/QUOTE]
