Me and my girlfriend fell into the clutches of temptation and we had sex without a condom well we started with it then took it off, well that was about two weeks ago (maybe even three) and we were talking about how that was the most stupidest thing we could have done and that we would never do it again until she got the shot, well today she left me a message and it said " this morning when I woke up I sort of fainted and I felt like throwing up." and shes scared that she might have morning sickness and now shes panicing saying what if shes pregnant and im scared too I would feel so bad that I did this to her and make her go through this I love her and would never want to put her through atleast not now we are both not ready. Can someone please help and anwser if she could be pregnant. Thanks

She needs to take a test, that's all we can really say. But don't beat yourself up if she is, that won't help anything.

Needing to throw up doesnt' necessarily mean she's pregnant; she might just be getting a bug. There is a possibility, though, and she needs to take a test to put your minds at ease.

Has she missed her period? Is she is late for her period then the only thing she can do to tell whether she is pregnant or not is to buy a home pregnancy test. The symptoms of pregnancy often don't show up until about the 5th week or pregnancy, so what she is feeling may be too soon to be deemed pregnancy symptoms. If she hasn't missed her period, then it is too early to test, so relax and wait for her period to come ;)

Unfortunately no one can answer with a definate answer.The only way to really know would be to buy a hpt . You can find them at any drugstore or gorcery store. If you did in fact have intercourse during her fertile time then there is a good possibility she may be pregnant. In the future try using protection such as condoms and birthcontrol. Good luck.

I agree with sandralynn however, I do not agree with stress delaying your period. The only way her period would be delayed is if ovulation was delayed due to "stress" or "exessive exercise" and "changes to diet"ovulation is directly linked to her menstrual flow and if she is recently being stressed then it will and should not affect her period.

Stress and illness do commonly affect periods.

Why? I don't think there is a definitive answer but they most certainly do have an affect for lots of women.

Personally mine have never been affected but I know a lot of women who are affected.

Kia_breizzze , yes you are correct however it is not the period that is actually out of whack for stress. Your luteal phase is more consitent than the 1st portion of your cycle which is more likely and commonly affetced by such things as stress . Ovualtion will differ every month but your luteal phase is only to differ by 1 day on either side.

Hi! Yes, she could be pregnant, it could be from stress, a bug, I am not a Dr. If she misses her period and is not stressing as much as stress can push back her period also then have her take a hpt or go to the dr and get a blood test. It is great that you are standing by her and I do hope you continue to do so! I would like to drop a little hint and that is is that if she is pregnant and you both decide you still are not ready then you should go over to the abortion support forum as the females here are totally against abortion and that is there choice and this is a pregnancy forum anyway. I am glad that you did realize that you were wrong and there is nothing wrong with double protection as even the shot is not 100% safe, true, it does help but their is always a possibility when having regular sex. I hope she is not pregnant for both of your sakes and if she is, please give it some serious thought about what you should do.
The best to you both!

9. Worrying about a late period may only delay it.

This myth is often perpetuated by the most well-meaning friends. But the reason it?S not true is that stress does not delay one's menstrual period; it can only delay ovulation.

Once ovulation has occurred, the woman's body has already determined when she will menstruate. In other words, the time from ovulation to menstruation varies little from cycle to cycle.

We did have that talk about what if she was and she started crying and I couldnt help but shead a few tears she said that shes not ready and that she would most likely get an abortion but that she would feel so bad about getting it I told her that we have to do whats best and if we do keep it that she knows I will be there,im always at her house I go see her everday =) and that if we didnt keep it to let this be a lesson and that we should be more serious about this kinda stuff, ethier way im a 100% surportive of what ever will happen its not like I dont have a job and stuff we can take care of it but it would be in the way im currently going to fire academy to be a fire fighter and that takes up a lot of time but if the baby would come I would scarfice what ever I need to to care for it and be there for it. Thanks for your help guys. Mando

Ouch!!! Sandralynn, abortion is a touchy subject! I do not agree with having an abortion but whatever they decide it is their choice.

Yeah , they should consider adoption or owning up to vs. Death for something they are clearly responsible for.
