Answer 1

Well I'm nearly in the same boat as you.
I'm 25, married with two kids and NOT ttc any more! But I had my IUD taken out because of medical problems and now I am having pregnancy symptoms like sore breasts and tummy pains like with my first two kids. I am due now but am too scared to take a test because at first I really didn't want anymore kids but now I am torn. If its positive I think I'll go into shock and I don't want to suffer the scorn of other people especially my family who can be really judgemental because of our financial position and age. But if its negative I think I might be disappointed because babies are so much of a blessing and so cute to watch growing up!
All in all taking a pregnancy test is so scary and daunting either way but if you want some support and you can't have a friend of family member with you when you do take a test, then go to the doctors and they will be so supportive. They can do the easy urine test there so you don't have to wait for blood results. Either way you are entitled to be scared because it is a really big deal but you need to test now before your nerves get the better of you. Don't sit in denial for too long.

I think I just convinced myself!!!

Best of luck and do the test. Don't be disappointed if its neg because you have the rest of your life ahead of you to have babies.

You really need to take a test...I know that seems like an easy answer, but not only do you need the peace of mind and shouldn't wait a whole other month for it, but if you are, you need to see a doctor asap. Many early screening tests are done within the first months and even weeks of pregnancy, so the sooner you get in the better. Besides that, it is all consuming when you have that possibility in the back of your mind all day every day. WIth my latest pregnancy (#4) I was in denial (my youngest was only 5 months when I found out her brother was on his way!)...I took 6 home pregnancy tests, 2 blood tests at the doctor's office, and had an ultrasound. I am now 22 weeks and am finally accepting that I really am pregnant!! (my hubby and I are thrilled...it was just a little shocking so soon after the last one was born!) I understand the mind can really do a number on you...whether you think you may be or may not be. Don't be disappointed if you aren't either. Just remember...What will be will be no matter if you take the test or not...meaning if you are, you are and if you're not you're not...taking or not taking the test won't change that, so better to be in the know and feel like you are in control of the situation. (once you become a mother, you seem to lose a little of that control!) Good luck...

Honey just take the test......i wasn't TTC and the same day I missed my period i felt slight cramping with no BLD. i knew something was wrong...and now i'm 10 weeks pregnant...so just take the time to calm your nerves. No one on this site can tell you are not. sorry...go to the dollar store and get a test it's just a 1.

Answer 4

Just take the test... You are going to have to one way or the other, might as well get past all of the worrying and take it. I also suggest you stop taking your BC immediately, because if you ARE pregnant, it could cause serious problems down the road. So I'd find out ASAP, it could be the health of your child if you are..

Answer 5

pleas dont tell me that you are under 18. And if you are, (or not) you need a test. If you are happy that you may be pregnant, then thats even a better reason to get a test. you need to be healthy from day one.Good luck,and you shouldnt give your email online to strangers,you never know, thats why I thought you to be so young. I would recommend that you create a new email address.

Answer 6

Theres a possibility you could be but i hate to say it you wont know till you take the test, maybe do it first thing in th morning when you have had as much time to think about it. Good luck

Answer 7

take it. if you are pregnant, waiting will do nothing for you, except delay the care you need for yourself and the baby. if you really weren't TTC, then you need to use condoms as well as the Pill.
