[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Take her to get birth control. She needs to go to a gynecologist, not her pediatrician. The Dr should educate both of you about proper use of whatever method she chooses (IUD, pill, shot, etc) and also both of you need to stress consistent use of condoms to protect against STIs.

I cannot stress how important this is - she needs to know how to use condoms correctly and use them consistently. At this point, she is going to have sex either way, so just make sure she has the condoms.

Also make sure she gets the HPV shot - if she doesn't have it - ASAP.

If she chooses to take the pill, she needs to take it EVERY DAY at the SAME TIME for it to be effective. You and her doctor need to be on top of that to encourage proper use and good habits. [/quote]

This.  And, if she's embarrassed by it, then she shouldn't be having sex (this is what I'd tell her, anyway.) Since she's taken the step, she needs to protect herself. [b] Also, I don't know whether I'd condone it in my house.  What's the alternative? A car? Some other public place?[/b] [/quote]

Yup.  Some parents are naive enough to think that if they allow their teens to have sex in their own bedrooms,  then they won't do it in a car, on the couch, outdoors, at  a  friend's home, etc.  Teens find all sorts of places to get it on.  Inside the home and outside of it.  Oh, and for some reason, some will even do it in their [b]parent's bed[/b].[/quote]

Yup. [/quote]
