Maybe i'm just over reacting here, but I
think i'm pregnant! My period isn't
supposed to come until monday (i'm on the
pill, so i'm very regular), but something
just doesn't feel right 'down there'
and'in there'. The only reason i'm
questioning the ability of my pill
(yasmin) to do what it was supposed to do
is because i've also started taking a new
antidepressent medicines and had a stint
with antibiotics since my last period.
My new meds are remeron and klonopin and
my antibiotic was zithromax. I can only
find test that test up to four days (and
only with 50% accurancy). What else can
I do? What can I look for??
Also, just as some other side info, i've
been extremely hungry lately . . . I've
gained 15 pounds and I can eat a plate of
sweet gerkins every night!

Sweetheart, by all means go get a
preganancy test, just to be on the safe
side, and remember to take it with your
first morning urine. It is better to be
safe than sorry. Do you want to be
pregnant? Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please let me know what you decide to
do.

Antibiotics taken with birth control pills
strongly decrease their effectiveness.
Take a pregnancy test to be sure and if it
comes out negative discuss this with your
doctor. He/she may make some changes on
perscriptons that can be combined with
your bcp.
Good luck!

Truthfully . . . No.
I wanted to be pregnant.
I know it sounds maybe kind of 'stuck up'
and 'self centered' but I feel i'm ready
for a child. I'm getting married to the
man I love with all my heart next month,
we are both in strong jobs (i'm in child
care, I only make 8.50/hour at the moment,
but it will be increasing soon - plus I
can get a discount on taking our
child(ren) there). My husband (to be) is
a marketing consultant and makes $21/hour.
He says it's too expensive and he's
making me wait at least 4 years before
even trying . . . It makes me so upset
whenever I think about it. I don't
understand what his problem is, but
whenever I bring it up he always throws a
fit . . . It's so fustrating!
I'm ready for a baby in our lives, I know
what it intails (i've been with children
all my life - my mom babysit since I was
little), and we have the great support of
our parents . . . . But it doesn't
seem to be enough for him. He says "if
it happens, then it does, but we aren't
trying until *whatever the date was he had
in his mind*". And if I quit my b/c and
don't tell him in order to get pregnant
and he finds out he already promised me
how livid he'd be.
I can handle a baby and i'm ready for one
. . . I want one so bad. I try to
understand his concerns but everyone he
has there's no evidence behind (the cost,
the problems, etc . . . ) except for
"well, *so and so's* *such and such* says
. . .. "
