If you are already three weeks late I think it would be ok to take it mid day. The only reason they suggest to take it in the morning is because your hormone levels will show the best in the morning. Go ahead and take the test but remember some women will go their whole pregnancy and not have a postive hpt. If the symptoms persist then go to the doctor and have blood work done. You are already so late that they will do this for you no problem. My mom and sister never had a hpt show up positive, only you know your body. Good luck

Hi neeko,
did u buy the twin packs... Go ahead and take it, you should have produced enough hormone now unless your like the rest of us (like me). In other words, that keep getting negatives but still having the symptoms.

Good luck

what syptoms have u been having??

Well just take one step at a time and think what you want to do! If you are going to keep it, well maybe having a word with your mother will relieve some of the pressure! Talking to someone will help. I know these boards are great for support but getting if off your chess will make you think straight. Contact your local support groups for unplanned pregnancy.

I hope it works out for u?

Im afraid to tell my bf just because its kinda a bad time in his life for something like this and im not sure how hes going to react.. I know his parents r going to freak rite the f*$% out!!!! And im not ready that from his parents.. Even tho they are like my own... My mom will be upset but she will be supportive I know that and wont yell and scream, altho my dad mite try to kill my bf.. Lol but that will just be temporary.. The only thing is .. I see both sets of parents as my own.. Except mine are completely against abortion.. And his are for it.. I know they will want me to get it done.. His mom would cuz she doesnt want me to ruin his life.. But my mom would want me to keep it (which I think is what I want) so I will be stuck in the middle.. And I dont even know how hes going to act about it (my bf) I think his first reaction will be to get mad and not believe me, its just the way he is.. Eventually he will come around and if I need to take another test to rove it to him I will... I dont know when the best time to tell him is.. I dont want to tell my parents or his until after I move out (im moving out in 8 days) cuz it will be too much for them to comprehend all at once... Wow.. Im so confused.. And im typing so much lol sorry.. I dunno what id do without this board to ask questions and stuff on

You need to not care what anyone else thinks... Do not have an abortion for anyone else, you will regret that forever. If you do chose to have an abortion (which I dont think you should) then it need to be only your choice. A baby is a gift not a bad thing. It comes down to this... You are going to be the mother no one else. You do whats best for you and the baby.

You should do what you feel is right, dont let the parents pressure you, I got preg at 15 and I made the decision to keep her, I wanted her and was not giving her up no matter what anyone said, you might be surprised at how his parents react, I was when we told my hubbys I thought they would hate me for ruining his life but they where the total opposite, they where mad at him!! Well good luck at least you know your own parents will be supportive :)

Also get into the doctor as soon as possible and start taking prenatals. It is never to early to start. Give it time to sink in I know that this is a huge shock. Just give yourself time to accept it and decide what to do and then tell everyone. I think you just need to make a decision and stand firm in it. It may be hard as first but it will get better.
If you want to see what your baby looks like right now go to Baby center it's really neat and its exciting to know what is going on inside you right now.


Click on pregnancy, then development of the fetus. If you are 7 weeks there is already a heartbeat.

I had a feeling it would be positive! Congratulations!

I wanted to share with you my experience and it may help you out in your decision. I had found out I was pregnant back in february... I was not afraid to tell my mom or my sister... But they both pushed me very hard for an abortion. I inside, wanted to keep it, but I felt like I was disappointing everyone around me. It got the best of me and I did abort it.

Here I am, 8 weeks pregnant again. I found out around 5 weeks. The only person I told was my fiance. I decided against telling my mother or my sister for a week or so, so that I could truely think about what I wanted to do. I decided that I was going to keep this baby, no matter what.

After telling my mom, she cried and she was scared for me. She still pushed the abortion issue on me, and I said "mom, listen, I am going to keep this baby. All I can ask from you is support, because I am really going to need it". She understood and she has supported me and my decision ever since.

My sister lol, well, I waited 2 weeks to tell her... Because she had gotten 2 abortions herself. Her opinion and support really means alot to me, but I knew there was going to be atleast a temporary negative outburst from her. She lives across the street from me, but we are pretty busy with our own lives, so she didnt notice any changes in my appearance or attitude.
My fiance was actually the one to tell her... After her initial shock, and the realization that I was going to keep this baby, she also accepted it with open arms and gave me her full support.

Believe me, its a scary thing, telling the people you love about an unexpected pregnancy. I am a little older than you, 21, but where I live... Where all the rich snobs live lol... This is unexceptable and I am way too young. But I had to think about myself... Not everyone else!

If you truely want to keep this baby, you do that. You will be surprised on how many people embrase this instead of turning you away. Keep your head up!
