The last time my boyfriend and I had sex was about 3 weeks ago, and my period is now 5 days late. We did use a condom, but I've always been regular before. I also felt very naseous for about an hour yesterday and about an hour this afternoon. I'm waiting a few more days before I get a pregnancy test.
Should I tell my boyfriend that I suspect I may be pregnant before I take the pregnancy test? Or should I take it first to confirm/deny my suspicions so I don't worry him?
Melody answered Wednesday May 21 2008, 3:52 pm: It's really up to you.
If you decide to tell him so you won't have to be by yourself when you wait for the results, or because you feel he has a right to know, then tell him.
If you decide to just go ahead and do it by yourself to save him the worry, that's also your choice.
Neither is right or wrong. If you take a pregnancy test and you are pregnant, he definitely has a right to know. If you find out you aren't pregnant, you don't have to say anything to him if you don't feel it's neccessary. But if you feel you should, just be like "So last month was pretty scary. My period was a week late, and I thought I was pregnant." [ Melody's advice column | Ask Melody A Question ]

You both had sex together and all responsibilities resulting from that act should also be done together, up to and including purchasing and taking that test. He needs to know that your period is late. The worry should have been there before you BOTH participated in the activity itself, but since the worry is there - that too should be shared, addressed, discussed and handled maturly as the decision to have sex was done. Good Luck!! [ venom_97's advice column | Ask venom_97 A Question ]

Or do you think it is only the girl that should be slapped in the face by the reality of what having sex is all about? [ GilbertMar's advice column | Ask GilbertMar A Question ]

Personally, i would wait and take the test, then tell him but it is up to you. I think everyone would have a different opinions, but i think it is better to wait. Why get him worried if it's nothing, and if it is something, you can deal with it then.
killerface answered Monday May 19 2008, 10:40 pm: Well,I tell my boyfriend everything, so it seems kind of logical to me to tell him. Besides, if you really are pregnant, he deserves to bear the burden just as much as you do. Tell him, even if it just turns out to be a scare. Remember, though, if you've started your period in like, the last five years, its likely that you won't always be perfectly on time. [ killerface's advice column | Ask killerface A Question ]
