Looking For Advice... Posted: 11-01-07 06:33am
This may sound cliche but i'd really
appreciate some advice. I am seventeen,
will be eighteen at the beginning of 2008,
i am the eldest of my siblings and have
always been the sensible one. I am the
daughter who recieves good grades doesn't
drink and / or party, is polite and all
round well mannered. I am currently in my
second year of college.
My boyfriend and i have always practiced
safe sex, yet we feared the condom may
have broken, i am unable to take the pill
as my body reacts badly to it and i was
unable to keep the morning after pill
down. I'm worried i may be pregnant as i
am a few days late for my period and i am
usually regular as clockwork.
I have spoken to my mother and she say's
if i am pregnant she'll be dissapointed
and heartbroken for me, as a child will
stop my life and take over, but she will
support my through my decision.
I am hoping that this will be taken
seriously and someone will give me some
helpful advice on what i should do... i am
planning on taking an early home pregnancy
test within the next few days to determine
whether or not i am pregnant. Thank you
for taking the time to read this, and
please note that any feed back will really
be appreciated, i'm going out of my mind
with worry.

first you need to take a test to find out
whether you ARE pregnant or not. Then you
have 3 options. Abortion, Keep the baby or
Adoption. Each option has it's pros and
cons.
As you live in the UK, you may be entitled
to help with childcare if you work or
study. PM me if you want to talk.
What the heck is wrong with people these
days..........seriously get a life!!!
Whisperedwords.....the only thing you can
do is take a test. But i wouldn't stress
too much because there are many women who
do experience late cycles. So good luck
and let us know how everything turns out.

Ok. Udontneed2know should shut up. If
you have issues, go to a different forum.
Whisperedwords is asking for peoples
opinion, not for some fool to make crazy
comments.
Whisperedwords, first, before you start
stressing, you should find out first if
you are pregnant. However, if the results
turn out positive, talk to your boyfriend.
See what his opinion is. I myself and
anit-abortion, but that's not for this
discussion. Yes having a child will
change your life, but if you're mom says
she's there to support your decision, then
really think about it. My cousin had a
baby at 16, managed to graduate high
school still with high marks, went to
college to become a travel agent, and is
now happily married with three girls and a
great job. It is possible to do it. If
you have the support behind you. Yeah
your mom might be disappointed, but look
at it this way, you did everything in your
life almost perfectly. Having a baby can
be a miracle. I believe (and once again,
not really a discussion for this forum)
that God does things for a purpose. Maybe
he belives that you should have a child at
this point in your life.
Good luck with your test. I hope things
work out the way you want them to.

are already late for af. testing is all
the advice i can offer. gl
