Please Help Me, I Dont Think I Can Cope With This Posted: 11-06-04 10:37am
If I get a blood test done at planned
parenthood does anyone in my family have
to know? I am 18 but I do not have my own
healthcare or anything.
Also what if I am pregnant? What should I
do? I don't know if I am capable of being
a mother or if I would even be a good one.
My family would be so disappointed in me.
Abortion is something I have never been
sure of. I'm not sure if I could handle
that but I know I could not handle being
pregnant.
I took two ept tests with first morning
urine, both negative. I also took one
answer first which was negative. I took
three clear blue and I believe they all
may be faint positives. I am not sure
though because the lines look too far
apart, it looks like it may have been
where the blue stuff just smuged. When I
mean faint you actually need to be in very
bright lighting to see the other lines and
some are not even fully filled in.
I really don't know how I could be
pregnant. I also use condoms and the pull
out method. The last time I had sex was 5
weeks ago almost. No condoms have ripped.
My boyfriend does not believe I am
pregnant. He says we are way too careful.
I have spoken with my friend about this
too. She says the hpt's would probably be
working by now.
My period has never been regular so I do
not know when it is late. The last time I
had it was august, then before that april
and january. The best I can do is noting
that the last time I had intercourse was 5
weeks ago.
I'm really feeling like a medical question
up right now. I feel like maybe I am
being paranoid. I've totally lost the
feeling of ever wanting to have sex.
Being pregnant is all I have been thinking
about for the last two weeks.

Are you late? Ist that why you think you
are pregnant? I have never had regular
periods either. I once had one that didnt
come for 93 days! It is normal when you
are young. Onetime I was so scared then
once I finally took an ept and it was
negative, and I got my period like 1 hour
later. I think the anxiety was affecting
it.
As far as planned parenthood goes, no one
ever has to know, even if you are younger
than 18. The only exception is if abuse
or rape is involved.
You two sound very safe and I wouldnt
worry. Ept tests, especially two, anre
accurate. To make yourself feel better
(and maybe to let your period come) I
would go to planned parenthood and take a
test.
Good luck, darkv

A visit to planned parenthood or any
doctor/clinic is confidential.
If your epts have come up consistently
negative, i'd say your not pregnant, but
finding out for sure by visiting a clinic
is probably in order, if only to put your
mind at ease. If you are pregnant, then
knowing sooner gives you more options.
Make an appointment or find one that
accepts walk-ins near you.
Let us know how it went. We hope it all
works out exactly as you want it to.
Take care.

Looking at your past posts... Maybe you
aren't prepared for the consequences of
having sex. It looks like you are driving
yourself nuts over this. Maybe at least
make a plan with your boyfriend of what to
do if you did get pregnant. The
uncertainty is a killer. I was totally
parinoid about it until my boyfriend and I
made a plan just incase. Now im more
relaxed. I feel you though!

Forbidden- before your head explodes from
stress and worry, take a deep breath and
calm down- hey, if you dont believe in
god, I dont say this to offend you, but I
believe that god never gives us anything
we cant handle-
right now, worrying wont get you
anywhere but a stomach ulcer. Whats done
is done, and now you have to maintain
composure and keep together. If you are
pregnant, then you have to do it for
youself and your baby. The thing you need
to do first is go to the docs and get
checked- no sense in stressing out if it
isnt true- one step at a time okay?
