I think i might be pregnant.....

---

but i still got my period... is that possible? I'm on birth control (Yaz) and I'm barely starting my third month of packets. i had just gotten my period but it was pretty late and the last time that my fiance and i had sex was during the last two weeks of june. Im having symtoms that were included in a "early pregnancy" article i had read....? HELP!! could i still be pregnant???

swollen breasts... and tender
nausea... but not so much vomitting, just feeling like it
sensitivity to certain smells that usually smell really good to me, and my favorite foods dont even smell good to me anymore.
bloating...

i havent missed my period, but it was late as i had mentioned.

You said the last time you had sex was two weeks ago. I'd say, go get a pregnancy test to be sure. Spotting can occur in pregnancy.

the last time i had sex with him was the 23rd and then again on the 26th of june... couldnt it still be early to get a true reading on if i could be pregnant?

I think two weeks is enough to see if you are pregnant or not.

ok... thank you for the help!

Have you taken all your pills on schedule?

to be honest.... not on time... but every day... the first packet i started taking at 930 am every morning... then summer started and i didnt even usually wake up til noon, so i started taking them when i got up... then i decided to start takin them around two because there was no reason i wouldnt be up and awake. another question.... could anyone give me a good site on the subject of abortion? im totally against it, but my fiance's family is a little bit more on the religious side then i am. and if they found out that i MIGHT be pregnant, they would take it really hard on me and my fiance.... any advice on what to do

Who cares about them! If you are indeed against abortion, then stick to your beliefs. Just because they have issues, doesn't mean you should disregard your own feelings.

And what's so wrong if you are indeed pregnant? What matter is it to his family? I mean, you are engaged for crying out loud! Shouldn't the idea of you possibly being pregnant be a good thing for both sides of the family?

good point... for me, the fact that they are very active members in their church make it hard for me. my fiance was raised in that church and have similar beliefs as them, but this has happened. im scared that :1: his parents will make his/our life a living hell because they are those kind of people2: he will be shunned from the church, and this is something that is a major part of his life3:the fact that they dont like me to begin with will get worst because of this. im not wanting an abortion. IM TOTALLY AGAINST IT! but the information for me to use for references and such would be nice. im just checking out my possible options just in case. to be honest im scared. and im probably over thinking alot of things. but what can i do? im tryin to think about everything.... i guess... for what may be best for me and my fiance, and our life as well as the well being of our possible child....

I'd suggest leaving all the worrying until after the pregnancy test. See what it says first.I think if his church would do that, it's not a good church to stay in anyway.

took a test about 1/2 hour ago... it came out negative. thanks for all of the advice. im going to recheck it here in a few days to double check because ive still been feeling sicky, but i thought i would update you all! thanks mucho

The human body is funny in that the more you stress, the more it puts you under stress. I'm glad that this stress appears to have been lifted from you. When is your next period due?Maybe you'll want to be a little more regimented about taking your bc.

Erm. I know I probably can't say anything to make a real difference. However,->1: his parents will make his/our life a living hell because they are those kind of peopleIt might be time to severe ties with those people.->2: he will be shunned from the church, and this is something that is a major part of his life I am a christian myself.. however, I detest the church. In the bible the context of the church is ALL of christ followers. No denomination or buildings involved. In todays context the church is the building down the street. Most churches also interpret the bible whatever was is convieneit for them. Also.. the bible says to work out your own salvation.->3:the fact that they dont like me to begin with will get worst because of thisErm. I don't know the situation.. but, you really should consider severing ties. Maybe its because i just really don't care for my parents but, if they ever hounded the person I picked to marry they better be damn well justified or I would be the first one to say "fuck off"

good point. i think that to his parents the fact that were only 18 and ready to be with each other forever isnt exactly the pleasentest thought. Im not a follower of their church, to be honest i had never even heard of mormons or church of latter day saints until i started dating my fiance. i do go to church with him though to make it easier for his parents to adjust with me being around. they have to get used to the fact that no matter what the case maybe im not leaving. but i also started liking the people at the church and how everything ran weekly. i continue to go. but they still dont believe that im here for him or the church. to be honest, ive tried talkin to them, telling them how i feel about EVERYTHING and esspecailly how i feel about their "baby boy" but nothing has worked. but im right along with you. if my parents started getting on my fiance's case or even for a second told me that they didnt approve for no real reason at all except the way he was brought up(which they dont, my parents absolutely love him!), id tell them to take a hike too.

any advice on how to maybe get things going a little smoother for my love and his hypocrite parents???

I'm sure you understand how they feel if age is the reason they aren't getting along with you. At 18, you are just starting your life. You should be going on to college or some sort of career path to have a good life. Have you and your fiancee come up with some sort of plan to have a stable life together and then talk about it with your fiancee's folks?And if age isn't the factor, then have they told you straight up why they simply don't like you? From what you said, you've done a lot and if they are still being stubborn to warm up to you, then I don't know what more you can do.PSAnd if you are still getting those symptoms, go see your doctor. It could be caused by the birth control you're on.

ok about the PS part!! I NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT!!! i thought after takin the test that it could just be me being sick. but ill make a Dr's Appointment monday deff.

and no my "future parent in laws" dont really like talkin to me, they have told my fiance that its for numberous reasons, and age not being one of them. hes 19. and we have talked to eachother about our plans. we had talked to my parents, and TRIED to talk to his, they just walked away stating "they had better things to do" ive tried being straight up, being sweet, kissing ass, being stubborn too. nothing. ive tried even talkin to them about converting to the church. but they are "unconvinced" that im here for the gospel, though i go, EVEN WITHOUT THEM! they dont know about us having sex. and honestly anymore i think that they are on the huge river of denile about me being their daughter in law

If the test said negative and you still feel sick, then my best guess would be the birth control. Best to see your doctor. Originally Posted By: jennCthey have told my fiance that its for numberous reasons, and age not being one of them.And does he tell you what those reasons are? It's really unfair how you are doing all this for them and they still don't give you the benefit of a doubt.

yes he has told me, its because im not a baptized member of the church, because im not the typical "sit down and shut up and wait to be talked to" girls. i am opinionated, i say what i want. i dont take crap from his dad who makes real mean comments to me that tend to make me uncomfortable, he tries to control what i do and such. and he even get on me about my weight, im 17 and weigh about 110, and thats "too small" i admit that i have a small figure but tryin to force me to eat and making the fact that im small even more noticable to EVERYONE else by making comments is ridiculous. his mom, he is the typical priss. she will act one way to youre face then totally talk smack about you behind your back. the only good part is usually whenever she says something hurtful to me is my fiance or his grandmother(her own mom!) will defend me. i just dont know what to do anymore! its almost to the point of me being a complete bitch to them. i cant take it anymore! AHHHHH!
