Q: Pregnant?

Well, I have been dating my current boyfriend for awhile, and have had a pregnancy scare before. I have a 24 day cycle, and we had sex on June 9th... which (according to a lot of online calculators) was the day I ovulated.

He wants to have a baby. I'm not so sure. I would like to have a baby with him, at some point, but not now...

My period isn't late yet, due on the 24th of June... But I have been extremely nauseous with slight stomach cramps, a firm stomach (that feels kinda bigger? Not sure), as well as EXTREME mood swings (which consist of me getting far too irritated with my bf, and then breaking down and crying, and later being so happy he just looks at me like I'm crazy), I have also been experiencing fatigue... and lots of it. Usually by this time before my period, I have extreme cramps, and that's it...

Bf doesn't want me to take a test yet, he says it's more fun to wait. But I'm just curious...

You aren't having mood swings related to pregnancy. Your body hasn't made enough pregnancy hormone to trigger a pregnancy test, it certainly hasn't made enough hormones to cause pregnancy symtpoms.

I'd be irritated with my boyfriend if he thought getting me pregnant was 'FUN' or even though I should get pregnant. Girl, you have high school to finish. College to go to. LIFE TO LIVE. You don't need a baby on your hip while you are doing it - it makes it 1,000 times harder - trust me.

Get on birth control. There isn't any reason to have unprotected sex when free birth control is readily available! Don't have an accidental baby - have a baby you are ready to welcome into this world and provide an amazing life for. Don't have a baby you have to scrounge up money for a pregnancy test for. Or wonder how you'll buy that next pack of diapers. Have a baby on YOUR TERMS not on someone else's.

It is too early for any of these pregnancy symptoms. A test would not be positive (even if you were pregnant!) until 10-14 days after conception. Its only been 9 days. Wait until your period is late, then test.

Well normally when I'm not pregnant, and my period is coming up, usually about a week to a few days before I have that as well. Theres no way you have enough hormones built up to have any actual symptoms.
