Pregnant


Question Posted Friday May 27 2005, 1:29 am

how early can you tell if you are pregnant? I am 16 and i am on the patch, i got off my regular schedule of the patch a month ago or so. The past three days i have had nausia and stomach aches, and they feel different than i have ever had. I also just have a gut feeling i might be pregnant, i jsut bought a pregnancy test tonight, and i plan on takeing it toamrrow morning. IT is one of those 5 days before your missed period, and today is fri and i should be getting my period on sun,mon, or tues. I can't wait though, im really nervous. and i am wondering if it does come out negative tomarrow, if it could be wrong just because of how early it is?

now also, do i tell the guy i'm sleeping with? because i am afraid he will not like me ne more, and i am pretty sprung off of him right now. i mean i know that if i am pregnant its early and i could probably take a pill, but either way i am not haveing a baby so is there even a need to let him know? he is jsut gunna get all worked up about it and upset, and he ahs a lot going on right now as it is.

first of all i would like you to know that abortion is MURDER...and no i am not saying that to scare you...it really is MURDER...If you abort the baby you are punishing a potential human for your mistakes...unprotected sex isnt appropriate unless you are trying to get pregnant or are married. Your child shouldnt lose his/her life just because you and your fuck buddy screwed up...if you are pregnant then yes you should tell him because that is his child too...dont just erase the baby and try to forget it...i also tell you not to abort the baby because of the effects it will have on you...yes right now it may seem like the right thing to do but trust me it is not...a friend of mine had an abortion and now is mentally distraught...she is suicidal because of the GUILT...i dont want you to go through the same thing that she is going through....i cant tell you if the test will be wrong because of how early it is but buy a few extra tests and if your period is late then take one every couple days to a week...or you could always just go the planned parenthood and get a test done... but my best advice to you is to just take it one day at a time and keep your options open and i beg you..if you are pregnant do not punish your child by taking his or her life because of an accident...there are plenty of couples who CANT have kids for medical reasons that would LOVE to care for and adopt your baby...there is a thing called open adoption where the biological parents pick the couple that adopts the baby...the choosing process happens while you are pregnant and then you have time to get to know the couple really well and most of the time that caring couple who will adopt your baby will allow you to see the baby and keep in contact with the baby...that way you arent completely blind to your child's childhood... dont abort that baby if you are pregnant...give the child to a couple who cant have kids...its the right thing to do...best of luck to you and your boyfriend...best wishes

I had the same problem. i had taken a test though , and my test came back negitive and it was wrong. there is a certain amount of days after having sex, for it to show up. I knew i was pregnant because i felt so differnt. I didnt feel the same. i told my boyfriend i was pregnant and he told me i was just worried. finally a week later i went to the doctors and got a test from them and they told me i was pregnant.But i took 2 test from the store and they came back that i wasnt. I was so freaked out. So if anything. Take the test , and it may come back negitive. I still got my period when i was pregnant . But only when i first found out i was pregnant .If you feel your not sure if your pregnant i'd say go to the doctors.Infact , you could go to planned parent hood for a test . Sorry i know its not reassuring. But i hope that everything works out for you.

I duno about the first half, because I have never experienced anything like that, nor have any of my friends. the second part, you should tell him, and if he freaks, you probably shouldnt be sleeping with him!

Definately don't panic...you knew the risks and took them anyway so don't act so suprised! If you are pegnant I realy think you should find any way possible to not kill the baby. You created this life, do you really think it would be fair that you destroy it?

And yes, you should definately tell your boyfriend, don't we all have a lot going on? He should give you just as much support as anyone considering it was half his fault.

Whatever happens please make responsible choices that you won't regret later in life.

Well if you are going to have an abortion, it is not ones business but your own. So you can keep it to yourself if you want to. But do you have the money to pay for it? Won't he help with that. He is responsible also. You took precautions, but they failed, it happens. If you decide to abort it, then he should help pay. ONe thing that I noticed when I got pregnant, immediately, long before a test would have been accurate was that my breasts were very very sore. They aso got larger very fast. Do you have any smptoms like that. IN any event, take the test, but it if is negative, take it again. Hopefully you are not pregnant, and will get your period. Please take additional precautions next time. Tell him he has to use a condom also.

Okay, I'd recommend you take the test first before you start panicking about the what ifs. If it is negative, good for you, but if your period does not come by Tuesday, I would recommend that you take another test just to be on the safe side. If it is still negative, I would recommend that you go see your doctor just to make sure that nothing is wrong with you.

However if it is positive then your going to have to start planning for the future. If you can't tell your boyfriend, tell someone you are very close to like your Mum as you are definetly going to need someone to support you. Think very carefully before terminating your pregnancy. That is a living thing inside of you and killing it is nothing short of murder, wouldn't you think? If you had the baby, you could always give it up for adoption if you didn't want to keep it. It's up to you, but think your options through or you may do something that you later regret.

As for telling your boyfriend, I think you should. If he ditches you, then really you deserve so much better. Surely you have other friends and family who respect you more and will be able to support you, even if it means you have to build new bridges between you.

Good luck hunni

You need to calm down first and don't think of anything else except doing that. After calming down, find the results. If the result is positive then don't freak out. Decide what you want to do. If there's a way that you can save the baby then don't kill it. Remember, both of you decided to have sex. But if the result is negative thank God for that and that's a lesson learned. Don't have sex when you're not ready for the consequences.
