Pregnancy Scares

Why would you even think about having unprotected sex if she's against abortion, even if you thought she was on the pill.

Hope it's a false alarm. Me and my boyfriend have turned pregnancy scares into a ongoing running joke, which has been totally fun and weird for us heh.

Had one with a sex friend. Most intense two weeks of my entire life.

We decided to get a pregnancy test because she was two weeks late (?!) and was like "nope, nope, not pregnant, should have symptoms by now". Convinced her to go and buy the test after work and then she sends me a whatsapp message around 4AM.

"You're not gonna believe what just happened :D".

Slept like a damn rock. Shiiiiiiiit.

What happened?
 
Don't wait any longer to take the pregnancy test. The sooner you know the better you can quickly rid of the problem. If she is still very early into the pregnancy, if pregnant at all, she can take pills to shed her lining & force her period aka abort what already planted itself inside. It also won't cost nearly as much as a 2nd month abortion which can be about $500. Time is ticking so you need to know ASAP.


Also for future scares, next time shit like this happens, go buy a plan B or some other alternative.

You should NEVER shrug that kind of situation off.

Thanks for the advice posts. And the joke posts. Both are helping!

We'll take a pregnancy test ASAP then. To be honest, I'm kind of naive with this entire thing, so I wasn't sure if pregnancy tests would even work this early on. Since I'm being told to take one every day, do we just keep doing them every day until either a) she starts bleeding or b) it returns positive? How long would we have to test if it keeps returning negative but she continues to be late on her period?

If she is pregnant taking a test now should be sufficient if it was last month. I don't think you need to do it every day, but at least do one asap if you need too and then another one after a couple of days if her period doesn't come at all.

Personally, if I got those two negative but still no period I would seek out a doctor in case something else is wrong.

Huh? Don't really know where you got all that. It was just in that one instance. Her birth control ran out last month and she hadn't gone to get more at that point. She has more pills now, but she was told not to start taking them until after her next period. Otherwise, she'd waste about a week's worth.

I didn't come in her that night. I keep hearing my brother's voice, though: "First you dribble, then you shoot." Argh.

If this is right after her period (end of BC pack) she woudln't even be ovulating, let alone how unlikely it is to get someone pregnant with precum
 
Pro tip, OP: the $1 pregnancy tests at the dollar store are exactly the same as the $12-$15 ones at Target (etc). Go buy like 5 or 10 of them and she can take one every day.

You can buy pregnancy tests up to a week before you miss your period. They come with 2 in the pack. Take one today, if negative, wait another 2 days then try again.

If both come out negative + still no period, go see her doctor so they can do a blood + urine exam.

Why...?

Doesn't that require you sex up the wife in the first place?

We've had sex.
But, she's never gotten pregnant.

Since having a child was basically the only reason I had any interest in sex, the fact that she's been unable to has removed any reason I've had for wanting to have sex.

So you have no interest in sex if is isn't for the sole purpose of procreation? o__o
 
I am just confused of why people just don't buy a pregnancy test before asking for advice.

They is also something called plan B for future note op

I can't understand how she didnt remember that she wasnt on birth control until you had churned butter 3/4's of the way.

Maybe she wants you to be her baby daddy

We were both just really into it that night. Was a mistake in retrospect. We both just hate the feeling of condoms.

Thanks. We'll go get the $1 pregnancy tests at the 99c store as mentioned earlier lol. I'm not so sure if she would differentiate between forcing the period vs. just getting an abortion. I'll discuss our options with her if she actually is pregnant. And I don't actually know what Plan B is, so I guess I'll be Googling that right now.

Please don't pretend to know my circumstances better than me. :)
It would be a disaster at this point in our lives.
 
She read your last thread, saw how you said "I want to marry this girl", and is now moving forward with that.

Hopefully your kid's first words are "Thank you."

It may be within both your best interests to invest in more than just a $1 pregnancy test. Clearblue would be your best choice and they cost about $15-20. $1 pregnancy tests will seriously do nothing.

You need to take the time to better research safe sex and become more aware about pregnancy + its options & how to avoid it. Being cheap about this will definitely result in you having an unwanted child some day.

GAF ;_;
 
Seeing as how I've been pregnant once before and have bought said shitty pregnancy tests, my own personal experience is that those are bullshit.

Legit said I wasn't pregnant, was totally 2 1/2 months pregnant.

Fuck that. Don't risk that shit.
 
If she had been on the pill for a while before this month, then stopped taking it recently, it is very common for a woman in this situation to have a late period and not be pregnant. This is one of the reasons why they suggest getting off birth control at least 6 months before you want to conceive - it can take the body a few months to get back into a normal monthly cycle. And that's assuming she has a normal monthly cycle to begin with. I've had many friends stop taking the pill and not get a period (after the initial one when stopping the pills) for up to 3 months.

Go to the dollar store, buy a handful of tests and have her test in the morning when she first wakes up because the pregnancy hormone, if it is present, will be more concentrated then. And remember, even a faint positive line is positive.
 
My girlfriend and I had an enormous scare just a few weeks after we first started having sex. She had all the symptoms of being pregnant and honestly that week or so was perhaps the most stressful of my life. Would have been done quicker but we got a cheap pregnancy test and I wasn't totally convinced by it because it wasn't exactly clear, but until the doctors told her she was ill and not pregnant I couldn't relax. But man that relief afterwards. Good luck OP, just stay on the safe side for a while at least. It sucks a little but is worth it.
 
don't fuck around, and buy her a real expensive pregnancy test, with a god damn lcd in it. And the fact that she didnt tell you she was NOT on the pill halfway into sex is a bit WEIRD.
 
Dollar store tests are just as accurate. Don't buy into the bullshit you need to spend like $15 on one. I got a positive test with dollar store test just 9 days after ovulation and 5 days before my missed period. If she's already missed it, then it will be accurate.

But the fact that she went off birth control for a month may have messed with her cycle. If she's been on birth control since an early teen, she may not know if she has any underlying medical conditions like PCOS. In which birth control is used to regulate the cycle. Without it, periods could be very sporadic.

Pregnancy symptoms really are a mind over matter thing. If she thinks she's pregnant, then every symptom she thinks she has will be pregnancy symptoms. But the reality is, those same symptoms are normal PMS symptoms too. Pregnancy symptoms won't show up for another week or two.

Plan B is like an overdose of birth control. It makes the lining of the uterus unable to implant. You can look it up online what the substitution is if you use regular BC pills instead. It's like 3 the first day and 2 the second day or something. But you can go to any pharmacy and ask for plan b and planned parenthood gives it out like candy.
 
Don't worry OP, you're scared as shit right now, but when that period finally does come you'll be the happiest you've ever been in your life! You'll see...




Unless she's preggers, then you're fucked.
 
So why do people have sex again? Doesn't seem like there are very many positives if you have to worry about unwanted babies and diseases and all of this stuff.
 
Dude, never depend on others for birth control. Wrap it up.

You can't control whether a woman has taken a pill that's easy to miss. Condomned sex may not feel as nice, but peace of mind is priceless*

*I'm aware that condoms break
 
Well, when I used to freak out to my best friend about this, he always used to say "It's done now". If your zygotes have swam up that there fallopian tube, there's nothing you can do now. It's done. Never used to calm me down, but worrying won't solve this problem.

Also, try and imagine the any numerous amount of things that are worse than bringing a child into the world.

I'm sure you don't want another thread derailed by your no sex business (or maybe you do) but you have to have regular sex if you want to have good odds of conceiving. And if that isn't working you should be going to a doctor about it. At the very least for you to get a semen analysis and some hormone tests on both of you.

1. Feels great if done right
2. Satisfies a primal urge
3. Allows for greater intimacy and fun with a partner

I remember pregnancy scares. I guess the upside of having really infrequent sex is not having to stress... I think I'd rather have the stress honestly.

Yeah, I don't want threads to get derailed by me - and if people have more questions or want to discuss things more they are more than welcome to PM me.
It's just, I mean, I know having sex regularly increases the odds of getting pregnant, but...

It depresses me when there are people who, the one time they don't use birth control - boom, pregnant!
And yet, despite my extremely low sex drive, I've still had sex numerous times, without using protection any of those times... and still nothing =(

But, yeah, enough about me in this thread, people are free to PM me if they want.

"The one time they didn't use birth control" is just a bad excuse in most cases.
