can they tell?


Question Posted Tuesday April 8 2008, 7:22 pm

I'm holding up okay. I guess. I cried for an hour because Im totally freaked out. My mom kept saying you better not be pregnant I cant afford it...etc.
And I didn't think I could be because 1)the pill. 2)he took it out early--never doing that without a condom again!!!3)I had just had my period.
but i didnt know you could be pregnant and have a period. but i guess i might find out for sure tomorrow-im going to the doctors for it.

do you know if they will be able to tell me if i was even if the bleeding stopped?

Yes, you will be able to tell.

When you are pregnant your body produces a hormone called HCG. That is what pregnancy tests look for.

THIS IS IMPORTANT SO
Keep this in mind: Even after a miscarriage your body will oftentimes still show HCG/pregnancy, until your body, at it's OWN rate, disposes of all of it. So, don't assume (or let your mother assume either) that just because your test comes back positive that you are still pregnant. Like I said, many women still retain the HCG/pregnancy hormone after a miscarriage.

Be sure to talk to your physician about everything you've experienced, she'll likely want to do a pelvic exam, or have you return in a few days, to confirm if you have miscarried or not. (because the pregnancy test won't tell her all she needs to know- unless it comes up negative the first time).

If she finds that you miscarried, and suggests that you have a D & C, be sure to ask her about your options. It may be something that, if your body is doing it's job, isn't really necessary. If you don't have to have one, it may relieve your mother (and her being as upset with you) as it will prevent additional medical costs that may not be in her budget.

Even though things are really tough right now: I have a really good feeling that everything is going to turn out okay.

More BIG Hugs, Stay strong, and keep in touch,
Jasmine
