i have always said through my life that i never wanted kids or get pregnant, and my boyfriend and i live together and have thought about having a baby, i am super scared and nervous but i wouldn't mind it now, we have planned out what we have to do and what we need and i think that we are ready and so does he.
How can i overcome being scared and nervous and swap it with the excitement and happyness sitting in the back of my head?
period due oct 12th (current day 10th oct)
i had sex 3 days before (9th oct) my period and several times before that (including my ovulation date 28 sept) (unprotected) what would be my chances (high, low or moderate) of being pregnant?
when should i test? (i have a EPT)
im excited ans nervous but i want to no, without having a blood test...
PLEASE HELP....

Well if you are anxious about having a baby. Your typical ovulation is 2 weeks after the first day of your period so your period is due october 12th. so after 14 days your ovulation date would be october 26th. Typically a women is fertile for 24 hours. A man's sperm can live in the cervix for 3 days. I hope that this helps. But to address about replacing your nervousness with happiness. It will come naturally. I was so nervous when I was first pregnant with my daughter. I was scared that I wasn't going to be the best parent for her. But the moment i felt her move (4-5 months pregnant) it was amazing! It replaced every thing i was feeling with a sense of awe because I was growing life inside of me. So relax, enjoy your time now because when the baby comes it will be a lot more hectic. Don't be surprised or upset if you don't get pregnant the first time you try or even the second time. Just relax and enjoy being together. When you are not focused on the getting pregnant part it happens a lot easier.

Can' really answer ovulation questions. I am 7 months well actually I will be eight months on Sunday and This was NOT planned. I am nervous becasue I have no idea what to expect! Everyday is a new day to me. I am almost through the pregnancy phase, but that isn't even the beginning. Everyday is anticipated and the anticipation is of the unknown. I never knew what it was like to feel a baby move or anything, but I do now and I love it. I was probably about 4 weeks when i took my first pregnancy test, but they have some that respond a lot quicker than that. Honestly I took six pregnancy tests before going to the hospital and getting a urine test done.
The nervousness will never go away. Well at least mines hasn't. That is not a trick I have learned yet. Congrats and when the time is right believe me it will happen.

You may or may not be pregnant. Be sure that you really want this child. Make sure your boyfriend is in it also for the long term...
Usually the EPT tests are accurate, but go to your doctor for a confirmation. For me, I just had to bring in a sample of urine and I was tested that way... but every doctor is different. By the way I have an 8 year old. I would wait to take the EPT test at least until about a week or two after your first missed period though...
I hope I helped...

You could test now and it would show, use forst morning urine to be more accurate with early testing. As far as being scared, it is scary, and when you test posative, you will feel super scared, but just try and think the fun stuff, talk about names, look at clothes, being a mother is a wonderful experience, and when that baby comes, you will love it more than life itseld, and you will figure out what to do. Enjoy your pregnancy, trust me, once become a parent is when life really matters. Our son is now 2 and we can't even remember what was important before he came into our lives. Its wondeful.

First of all, if you are scared and nervous I don't think you should be planning for a baby yet. Your mind frame and body needs to be set and ready even if it's unexpected. You shouldn't be having feelings of uncertainty.
but to answer your question, your chances are pretty good. I'd wait until a week after your missed period (if you don't get it) and take a test.

If you're scared then maybe your just not ready or it could be that you don't know what to expect.
You can actually get pregnant any time during the month, but you're most likely to get pregnant when your ovulating. And whether your chances are high, low or moderate all depends on how fertile you and your boyfriend are.

You still sound pretty unsure. I would say wait until you're without a doubt sure.
But, in the current situation, I would wait until at least the 15th or 16th to test, as stressing about it can make you late. And since you DID have sex on your "O" date, your chances might be fairly good for being pregnant.

You are obviously not ready. You aren't Married. you had sex outside of marriage and the Bible calls that Fornification and it is a sin. You need to get married a.s.a.p. And you ruined the fact that the reason you get married is to give yourself to that person and to love them. You are in my prayers.
