im 22 in college and work currently was put on bipolar medication (depakote er) 2 days ago. however, the doctor asked me if i was planing on becoming pregnat b.c if i was he would have to take me off the medication. the side effects to the medication involve birth defects. i'm going to be taking a prego test today.my bf belives i'm not prego, but i'm late on my period, and recently developed anemia even tho i've been taking iron 2 months ago. i've also been urinating a lot, tired, headaches, lower back pains, and sore breast. he just saids i'm not because its convienet to him. i'm highly pissed at him, is it wrong that if the test comes back pos today i want to not be with him anymore?? he will stay in the babys life tho.

That is a decision that you have to make...There is nothing wrong with it....just take the test and let us know

I dont think that it is wrong to break up with him if the test comes back positive....but if your that upset why would you want to stay with him even if it comes back negative?? I think that a lot of men (if they are not planning on there wife/girlfriend) tend to say your not pregnant just to help them deal at the time, its like they now if you are pregnant they have to become men and stop acting like little boys. I took a pregnancy test and it came back positive.....I had bad morning sickness, sore breast, and missed two months of periods....my boyfriend suggest to take the home test and when I told him what it said he still didnt believe it...he said well maybe its wrong and we just need to wait until you see the doctor. None the less the doctor confirmed that I was pregnant...he didnt really say much the first week or so but once it sunk in he was fine.....hes been to my lamaze and newborn classes with me and he tries his best to help me though. I think you should just take it one step at a time....see if your pregnant first and then make a choice on what you want to do. If you are pregnant its not good for the baby for you to be so stressed....try to do whatever you can to relax. Maybe read a book, take a nice bath (thats my favorite), whatever it is that you need to do. Well anyway I hope all works out for you good luck

Who is "he"? The baby's father? Nobody here knows him better than you do, so you probably know the answer better about whether he will stick around if you are pregnant. First, take the test. If it's positive, contact your doctor for another medication and instructions on what to do about the Depakote ER. In the meantime, try not to worry too much. Stress if very difficult and can cause fluctuations in one's menstrual cycle and/or cause problems in pregnancy (if you are pregnant). Take things one step at a time and go from there.

Well get off the medication!!!!!!!! Until you find out. its only been 2 days so it shouldn't be a problem to end it suddenly. But take the pg test just to be sure rather than possibly endangering it. As for the guy, hell if he's an butthead leave him. Just remember if you are diagnosed with bipolar it could just be that that is making you want to leave him. Think about it and don't make rash decisions but don't let him be an *** to you

Thats a decision you gotta make on your own i honestly dont think you'll get your answer from a bunch of strangers! I felt the same way a couple of weeks ago i just felt so annoyed by him and i wanted to end it right then and their. Im glad i didnt though it was just my hormones and all the stress that comes along with every pregnancy, you should sleep on it really think about whats best for you and your unborn baby.

That decision is up to you, but whatever you do, do NOT have an abortion. Then you will be taking away an unborn, defenseless babies life. If the tests are positive and he'll stay with you if you do have a baby, you can start a family. Don't kill to save a boyfriend.

If the only reason you don't want to be with him is because he says your not pregnant then I think that reason is stupid. But if there is more to it like he treats you like crap or something like that then prego or not go ahead and leave him. But don't jump the gun you are still unsure so all you can do now is playing the waiting game
good luck and babies are great

If you truly feel that you can make it without him(hell what am I saying you'r in college,you can make without him)Then ditch the guy.By keeping him when you'r not happy you two will end up hating eachother and that won't be good for the baby.
