Im Scared
Posted: 03-22-07 08:49am

okay my boyfriend and i have been having sex with out a condom for a long time now because he pulls out every time he comes and im not on any form of birthcontrol. so this past week i have been experencing cramps in my lower ab. and sometimes at night i feel really sick like i have to throw up. i really scared because every time i eat at night i get really sick. i work at a coffee shop and the smell of coffee is sometimes is making me sick at work and i never had that problem. i dont now if every thing is in my head or if i'am really pregnant.

pulling out is not a reliable method of birth control, plenty of people have gotten pregnant this way.

when is your period due? if it's late you can test now or you can wait until it's due and test.

if it turns out you're not pregnant you really should get on some form of birth control.

if it turns out you are pregnant you should make an appointment with your doctor and visit the pregnancy forum, there are a lot of supportive girls there and they can answer any questions you have.

good luck!

just wait it out a week & see. there were numerous times i thought i might be pregnant, too & it turned out that it was all in my head. sometimes, when you know that there is a chance you could be pregnant, you fool your body into experiencing the same symptoms the body of a pregnant woman experiences.

there are pregnancy tests you can take earlier than the first day of your missed period. the only downfall w/ them is they might not come back accurate b/c [if you are pregnant] your body may not be producing enough hCG, the pregnancy hormone.

keep us updated. from the tone i pick up in the post you wrote, it sounds as if you're not hoping to get pregnant?

I know nobodies situation is the same but my parents took my pregnancy very badly but didn't throw me out. Trust me 9 out of 10 parents who react in this way end up being doting grandparents. I'm not going to give you my opinions on abortion but in my opinion if you are pregnant just keep in mind that the baby didn't ask to be made

You really need to do a test as soon as your period is due because as someone has already said you can fool yourself into having signs of pregnancy and actually be pregnant I know it happens to me every month. If it turns out you arn't pregnant you HAVE to do something about birth control you can not rely on the method you are using at the end of the day it won't be his problem if you get pregnant you are the one who will have to deal with it along with your parents. Don't worry about them though I would rant and rave at my kids but NEVER EVER see them out on the streets! Good luck and there are lots of options out there for you and you don't have to go through them on your own!!
