CHIEF CONCERN: “I think my girlfriend’s pregnant, but I don’t know why. She told me girls couldn’t get pregnant for the first year after they started their periods especially if they wash with vinegar afterward.

What if I got a vasectomy?” HISTORY OF CHIEF CONCERN: Randy has been having sexual relations with a 15-year-old neighbor, Becky, for the last 3 months. They have used no protection because he trusted girlfriend’s knowledge about conception.
