I was 15 when I got pregnant. My boyfriend at the time and I weren't using any form of birth control -- he was just pulling out. The one time he didn't pull out was the time I got pregnant.

I'm 23 and already have two beautiful little girls, my youngest being 6 months old. Right after having my baby I got the paragard iud placed in. 3 months later we learn I'm pregnant and my iud has embedded itself into me.
It was a month after I tried to commit suicide that I was raped. While driving myself home after the rape, I could feel what he had left behind in me. the only idea that was going through my mind was how could I forget about it and go to work the next day.
I look back now and realize that even though I was educated and very capable, I was also very young and naive. I was 18 years old, a freshman in college and in my first serious relationship, all while dealing with my father's illness and death later that year. A powder keg of change and stress - to deal with it I spent almost all of my time with my boyfriend, trying not to think about the future.
I was 20 years old when I found out I was pregnant. It was just two weeks after I had finally gotten out of an unhealthy relationship that fed my low self-esteem and low self-worth.
In the twelve years of being sexually active, I found myself in a position that never crossed my mind. There were a few times I could have easily gotten pregnant, but didn't, due to luck and/or PCOS. But, one night, I made the mistake of not using a condom.
