Ok, here's a good one: i'm about 2 1/2
weeks late. To go along with that, i'm
tired, nauseous all the time, constantly
starving, and my nipples have been
extremely sore for two weeks. However, I
took two hpt's this weekend, and they both
came up negative. Now, I know that people
say that if you want a baby, and if you
think you may be pregnant and worry about
it, that doing so can make you think that
you are. But here's the thing, yes I
would like to have a baby, but by no means
now, for many reasons. I've more been
hoping that i'm not. Could just doing
that cause me to be late, and feel the way
I do? I know I should call my doctor, but
i'm not sure how to word it or even what
to ask. Any ideas? Thanks!!
Hiya I know what your going through!I went
through the same thing!I missed a period
and did a hpt,actually I did 2!They both
came back negative so I put it down to
stress!Then 2 months later I still hadn't
had a period,i eventually went to the
doctors and found out I was 16 weeks
pregnant!I was expecting it but still
shocked!I felt like I wasnt ready and
wouldnt be able to cope but my baby boy is
now 6 weeks old and I am coping fine!
Ramble over, I would suggest that if you
dont want to go to the doctors then wait a
while and do another hpt, but remember
that they are not always 100% accurrate,
so its best if you do go to the doctors.
Also if you do find out that you are
expecting and you are positive you dont
want it then you could have an abortion or
put the baby up for adoption, but you will
be amazed at how much support you will get
so remember that you are not alone!
Keep me posted and pm me if you ever need
to chat!
Take care,cath

Thanks for your info. I went ahead and
made an appointment for this tuesday, so
i'll find out then! As far as expecting
or not, I think it would be great. It
would be a wonderful chapter to add to our
lives. Thanks again!

Bleeding Posted: 07-10-04 10:09am
I started bleeding this morning. I have a
little bit cramping, but nothing like it
is with my regular period. It isn't
really light or heavy for that matter.
I've read about having what seems like a
regular period while pregnant. Could this
just be normal, or something worse?

So I saw my doctor this afternoon, and as
it turns out, i'm not pregnant. As far as
why I was 3 weeks late and have been
spotting, she said it's most likely just a
side effect of my pill, and to enjoy it.
I kind of got used to the idea though.
Now tell me if this is stupid or not: i've
been with my boyfriend for over a year,
and I know that I am going to marry him.
I'm 21 and he's 24. I always said that I
wanted to be married before having kids,
and he wants them now. However, I
honestly feel like i'm ready now, and that
having a child with him would be an
incredible experience. We both have
secure jobs, and know where we want to go
in life. I have suggested that we try at
the end of this year. Now, he doesn't
think we should get married just because
i'm pregnant because of the odds. But my
thing is I don't want to have two
different last names on the birth
certificate. He hasn't pressured me on
this whole matter at all. Am I giving in
to his wishes by suggesting that we try?
Or is it just me being ready and feeling
like it's time?

I wouldn't say its you giving into his
wishes, you went through 3 weeks of
thinking that you could have been
pregnant. During that time you realized
how wonderful it would be a little life
that would be part of you and totally
dependent on you. That is a special
thing. I totally
understand why you would now want one. I
also see why you would want to be married
first. If it means alot to you and your
not ready to have a big wedding but you
want to be married and try at the end of
the year, just go to the justice of the
peace and have a big wedding later. At
least that way you will both have the same
last name and the baby too. If it doesnt
matter to you, don't worry about it just
do what makes you happy. if you do decide
for a baby, I wish you all the luck in the
world!! take care and god
bless! ~steph~

If you two are truly committed to having a
lifetime together, then why wait to get
married? If either one of you is
hesitant, or having doubts, you should
wait before bringing a child into this
world. It's hard enough to raise a child
these days without having a "broken
home".
I have children who do not belong to my
current husband. It makes life harder.
Just advice from one who's been there.
