My Last Period...
Posted: 09-30-03 22:46pm

My last period was 8 weeks ago today. Me and my boyfriend did have unprotected sex. To tell you the god honest trtuth, we did not expect myperiod to not come! I know this sounds really horrible but if my period is ever late we usually do the "knock it out"method. But usually its not really "knocking it out" as soon as he'll penetrate..My period will come down. So far..No such luck. My breasts are ectreemely sore, im extreemly fatigued, im moody and I pee way more than usual. I cant take it any more. I want to know now if I am pregnant or not so that I can go to the doctor and get started on my vitamins and have a healthy pregnancy! I feel really bad about all of this b/c I dont want his family to hate me forever. I know that they're not like that..But ive joked about it and they got really hostile for a hot second. But then I told them I was just playin. Crying
or Very sad if I am I dont know how I am going to face them. We have been together for about 7months, but have been really good friends for about 2 years. His dad knows that I might be, but not his mother. Now dont get me wrong, shes a cool ass lady, but she, as well as i, knows that we are not financially ready for a child. The only reason we had sex with out a condom is because we were in the "heat of the moment". I know its stupid, but im sure everyone has been in that prediciment. Im not sure if I want to wait waaay until the 5th to take a pregnancy test. What should I do/think??

I think you should go buy an over the counter test and see if you're pregnant. Sounds like you are. Don't worry about his family either. What's important is you, your partner and the family you're creating. Besides families always come around once the baby is born. Don't stress yourself over there. Go get a test tomorrow...Even a store brand one. Whatever you can afford and find out. But the 5th is sunday.. So maybe you should go to a local free clinic before then.. They'll get you started on prenatals and such.

Best wishes,

ava

Dear barons girl,

i think you are pregnant. I think if you took a test now you would get a definate positive. Firstly you are 4 weeks overdue for a period. Secondly you have all the common symptoms for pregnancy, sore/tender boobs, moodiness due to hormone changes, and frequent urination. You really need to see your doctor. Ava is right, your partners family will be fine once they get over the initial shock of it all, and besides his father already knows that you could be, so he is not exactly going to pass out when you tell him. Maybe you could tell him first before everyone else, then he could help with getting everyone else comfy with the idea. Also don't forget, they will be grandparents, they are going to want to see their grandbabies growing up and be a part of their lives, so they are certainly not going to go and ruin it for themselves.

Take care,

.::suzy::.

Just Out of Curiousity...
Posted: 10-01-03 06:24am

Would it be possible for one of my pregnancy tests to still show up negative? My boyfriends dad told me last night that I shouldnt waste my money on those home ppg tests b/c a lot of womens hcg levels are not strong enough to detect. Also I know of a lot of women who have taken home pg tests and getten a steadt flow of negatives. Ok...Is it possible to get an accurate reading if when you wake you up you gotta go really bad? Like on normal mornings I dont have to go bad..But on some I do. Should I wait until its a normal morning??Yes, it has been four weeks sincee I was due for my period any my pd for oct is due tomorrow. I know im not going to get it, so what should I do? I dont know what to think about anything.

Dear barons girl,

definately take a test if you really need to know. The tests you buy these days are very accurate. You don't need a lot of urine to do a home test so don't worry if you can not produce a whole bucket of urine, but it is best if you do the test in the morning as your hcg levels will have had time to build up during the night and will give you a more accurate result. If you are pregnant, the test should give you an accurate reading as it has been 8 weeks since your last period. You could have done a test a day or so after your period was due and got a reasonably accurate reading, but you have had an extra 4 weeks on top of that. Good luck.

Regards,

I hate it, those tests really can mess up. I thought I was preg so I got an ept test and it showed up neg. So I expected my period to come shortly, (i was only 16) and wanted to continue with that life. Me and my bf (at that time) decided we would start to use condoms every time. But it was too late, I was already preg. My period didn't come so I went to the doc, and I was already 6 wks along.

Help Me Confused
Posted: 10-01-03 11:30am

In september I recieved my period for the normal time that I would have 7 days. Now I have been experiencing tiredness, excessive vaginal discharge like a white milky or a clear and stick discharge, my breast have been sore and tender but there not that way all the time, I have been getting this long lasting pressure in my lower abdomine for about 2 weeks nothing painful but annoying, I haven't been able to eat b/c everything seems so nasty to me. I took a regnancy test this morning and it came out negative. I wanted to know if the test might be wrong b/c I swear up and down that I am, I feel like I am. I have been getting almost all the symthoms.

Is it possible to have your period and still be pregnant?
Please help me so confused. Embarassed Crying
or Very sad Confused

I know how you feel. A while ago me and jose wanted a baby and booom...All these feelings that I was pregnant came! I was even throwing up and he was like are you pregnant! And I said no, my periods coming. My breasts hurt, I was taking naps at work! Once you have that feeling of pregnancy in you, your body starts making you believe you are. You should be fine if you just had your period and the test was negative. Wait to see if your next period is late ok? Be protected though!

My body feels pregnant, I really don't think I am I guess taking that test this morning made me sad. I know your mind can play tricks on you but a lot of my friends say to me that they had thier period while they were pregnant and because of this they did not know,but my body is sending signs.

You can have a period and be pregnant too. If you really want, go take a blood test. Because that will tell you. Hoe old are you? Just asking. Well thats all you can do. It might be symptoms but it might be all in your mind too. Good luck!

You can have your period and still be pregnant......The best thing to do is go to the doctor and tell him what is going on....You might have to get a blood test...Your hgc might not be so strong for a urine test....Good luck and keep us posted...

I am 22yrs old and I have a four yr old son. At first I thought it was stress but I can rule that out b/c I have been diagnosed with anxiety and stress and trust me girl these are not the symthoms I get.

I definately think buying a home test would be worth your money. I think it would show up for you this late in the game. Also, if you're worried about vitamins, you can take some over-the-counter prenatal vitamins. They're ok to take for a little while even if you're not pregnant. Then you'll know you're doing what you can. Don't stress, it'll be fine.

Good luck

Ok, I don't know how but I missed a lot of that before I posted my first response.

Yes, your body does do such weird things. Especially when it comes to being pregnant. It's something that no matter how off the timing is, you want. Well, in most cases. Therefore, your body goes into eratic mode.

I don't think you are pregnant, but yes it is possible to have a period. I did when I was pregnant with my son. I had one last period and then no more. So the cheapest and easiest thing for you to do would be wait until your next period is due. Then if it doesn't come, you'll know to go to the Dr.

Sorry about my previous post.

Good luck
