Q: Period?

Hey.. I havnt taken my birth control in 4 days.. Wouldnt my body think its on the placebo's? Usually I get my period on the 3rd day of placebo pills and its the 4th.. No sign of it coming either =/.. Should I still wait till the end of next week to take a test and see if I get my period. Or take one today when I go to the mall? Sad Sad

also, do I just start taking the pills or wait and just start a new pack next month? Question Question Question

K u just asked me this on aim.. I say, wait till u are late.. But hopefully this is the last time... But im re-posting this part so others can read.


Ok and just to let everyone know about u...... U need to buy a freaking test and if ur not preg stay on ur damn birth control!!!


Everyone.. Dont think im mean. .But ive been talkin to this girl for months (shes 14) and everytime I talk to her she said she thinks she pregnant (for months) and she nevvvvvvvvver buys a preg tests and says she nevvver has money for it.. And she told me she wanted a baby b4 because she had the think-it-over doll and it was 'just like the real thing' anyhow, every month she tells me she thinks shes pregnant, then she tells me the reason y she doesnt take the birth control pills is because her mom sometimes forgets to give them to her and she cant remember to take them herself. So im just letting u know we will probably be hearing this for months to come. Im talkin to her right now on aim and I am hearing the same thing. Sorry gaby if u think im bein mean but its the truth u really need to straighten up and be more responsible hun.. Take ur bc pills ur self. . U shouldnt have to say u think ur pregnant every single month, ur 14, u should be enjoying life, not trying to figure out if ur pregnant every other day. I hear this everyday, for months from u...U should be makin a doc appt to take a blood test then..But u wont do that either because u dont know what to tell ur mom....U cant just wait around forever.. U need to use bc pills and condoms if u find out ur not once and for all!

Ok, I do use my b.C more than 3/4 of the time and condoms usually.. I also told you that I am a hypocondriach and cant really trust what my body tells me... Thats why I think im pregnant every month.. The first time ireally thougth I was I took 3 tests. So I do buy tests.. But I dont want to have to go out and buy them every month bc like I said im a hypo and cant waste my money on them.. And my mom does know that I may be pregnant..

Seriously. . U tell me u miss pills alllll the time cuz ur 'mom forgot to give them to u''. . Its not her fault its yours.. And u have told me so many times u were going to get tests but then u had to use the money for something else, or for lunch money. .And u told me b4 u didnt normally use condoms..And u did tell me u wanted a baby and that the fake baby u had was alot like one so u knew what it was like to have one. .But I know u dont wanna say these things on here cuz u dont want people thinking ur weird or immature. U also told me u couldnt do ur blood test cuz u didnt know what to tell u mom and u would have to make something up, like that u had a yeast infection. Im not trying to be mean, its just, u should realize by now its obviously a problem if u always think ur pregnant for months and months..

Kari is really right! Your just 14 and if you cant remember to take the pill or if you dont have money for a pg. Test, how are you going to have money for a baby and how are you going to remember when to get the babies shots or whatever. When is your period due? What are the placibo pills? The suget pills?

I bought a test at the mall today but im waiting until the end of the week (like kari said) to take them.. My period is due this week.. Placebo pills are empty pills that you take at the end of the month wehn you get your period.. I asked my mom to put me on the patch next month so I dont have to remember..

Btw I dont think my "baby" (btio) is like a real baby, sure its still hard.. But a real baby is much harder... I dont remember ever telling anyone that it was like a real baby..

Also I cant help that I have a problem with my short term mmemory.. But its really bad.. I have no recalection (dont htink I spelled that right) of even what I did yesterday.. And im not exaggerating.. So sometimes I need help remembering certain things... I have someone come to me at the end of the day at school and tell me my homework bc I dont remember. And I cant remember to write it down..

Ive told you many times (kari) that I cant go out buying tests every month unless I miss my period. Which I havnt.. Which is why I dont buy tests...

I said I wanted a baby but not enough to get myself pregnant bc I know thats not the right or responsible thing to do.. Its just a maternal instinct to want a baby, nobody can blame me for that...

Yes you are right I didnt want to say anything tomy mom but now she knows that I might be and if I get a positive result I will tell her right away bc I want to get prenatal care asap... The risks are higher as a teen and I dont want them to worsen bc I dont have the guts to talk to my mom..

It gets confusing.. Bc my birth control sometimes makes me sick and gives me pregnancy type symptoms so I dont know and I cant keep going and buying pregg tests every month, unless, like I said, I miss a period or somthin...

So sorry for rambling but im just trying to explain everything... Smile Smile Smile Smile

I know someone who was just like you. Every month she thought she was pregnant so she would eat a lot and when she found out that she wasn’t she stopped eating. She is pregnant now and due in june, but yeah every month she felt sick to her stomach and she said her boobs hurt, etc. I do have a few questions for you, if you don’t mind, have you been with the same guy? How old were you when you lost your virginity? And does this guy(or guys) know that you think you are pregnant every month?

She told me shes been with the same guy. I dont know if he knows, im assuming so because she told me one timme she would ask him for money for the preg test. .Then she said he didnt have any.


Anyhow. .Gaby, I know ur gettin mad at me. .But when u look at all the facts its pretty bad. . Many of us have bad memorys. .But no matter how bad it is its not excuse. If u have to rely on ur mom to take your bc pills and she has to actually hand them to u. .U cant possibly be ready to take on the responsibility of a child. .And I know uve told me that u kinda do wanna be pregnant. ..


Oh yeah. .Also...U said u always think ur preg.. But how r u not going to end up pregnant? U said u keep stopping taking ur pills ''in case ur pregnant''.. But if u think ur pregnant all the time and keep stopping taking them then of course u'll be preg! .. .? Makes no sense. . U told me even now that uve been off em for 4 days...... I mean I understand u wouldnt wanna hurt the baby if u were preg.. But sense u alwayssss think that.. Then basically ur gonna have to always stop taking ur bc pills.. So of course it wouldnt prevent pregnancy.

Yes I ahve been with the same guy since then.. Our 7th month anniversary is wednesday.. I lost my virginity to him in december.. Since the first time I thought I was pregnant.. I talked to him about what we would do and how our lives would change and what he thought about the whole thing.. He said he would stay with me no matter what.. I know you cant always trust what guys say but I dont think he's lying.

Kari, im not mad.. It's good that you're getting it all out and putting everything in my face where I can read it and come to a reality about everything and try to change and become more responsible.. So I guess I should thank you.. Uh, yeah. Thanks! Lol I just hope that you girls arnt mad at me beacause you think im annoying or immature or somthing..

Do you know the home pregnancy tests where you pee in a cup then stck the actual preg. Test in it for like 10 seconds or however long it says? Are they any better then the ones where you just stick it in the stream line.. Bc im thinking that you may not get enough pee on it by just sticking it under lol sorry if its a lil tmi.. Am I wrong?

Uve told me b4 u wanted to stop takin them and that u had b4 cuz u 'mite' be pregnant and u always ask me if u should stop taking them cuz u think u always have symptoms. . . But wether ur afraid of needles or not, its only 1 shot every 3 months. . I dont think the patch is dependable. .I wore it and it always wrinkled up when it got wet and when I read on it, it said if it had creases it may not work, but I would reccomend, if u do get onthe patch to wear it on ur upper arm or butt, not ur lower stomach/hip, it always wrinkles when u sit etc.. Plus u keep saying ure asking ur mom if u can get on it. . U dont even have to ask ur mom. . U can do it urself. . There are clinics u can go to to get on this stuff without ur parents.



I dont think the cup ones are any better, u can pee in a cup and dip it with any tests I believe, I think its better just peeing on it. U just have to watch to make sure some gets on it, it doesnt take a large amt. And after u test u have to lay it flat on a surface for a few minutes without touching it.

Yeah, maybe ill look into the shot then. I've thought about comig off the pills but never have.. Maybe I lied to you then.. I dont know.. I know I can get it myself but I dont have insurance or a car to get there.. After this week (as long as im not preggo) were going to figure out a new type of bc to put me on...

Thanks for the info about the pg tests..

U dont need insurance, the clinic places are normally free or witha small donation, but definitly no insurance required. U dont have any friends that drive? Well. Thats good that ur looking into getting into some type of bc, prolly shot would be the best for u sense u forget but im hopin ur not preg! And u said maybe u lied to me then? . . Lol. . Idont know why u would lie about that. But o well at least u say ur looking into somethin. Goodluck..


And wait. .Ok I jus went into the regular pregnancy forum and u wrote in there that u had unprotected sex on thursday.. This is sooo obvious.. Uve been telling me for months now, daily, that u think u might end up preg or u think u are, and last month u were sayin the same thing, then u got ur period.. Yet u kept sayin u were worried u were all tha ttime, then u finally have ur period, then u have unprotected sex on thursday??? Uve told me different times that u have unprotected sex. . If u keep doin this over and over obviously ur lying about not trying to get preg. .U just dont wanna say it on here becuz ur 14 and ur afraid people will think ur immature. U keep doin this to urself and u im me every day with your 'symptoms'...But how can u not always be worried if u keep havin sex unprotected.

I didnt have unprotected sex of purpous... I didnt know I was two days behind.. I wouldnt have had sex if I did know. I dont wnat a baby, I have no reason to want a baby. It wouldnt be fair for him/her and I understand that. Please dont go making assumptions...


My doctor told me that if I take my birthcontrol correctly for a month im good for the next month and I dont have to use condoms.. So im not trying to get preg. Im listening to my doc

Ok now ur lying.. Uve told me u wanted a baby and wanted to be preg. More the once. And how can u not know ur behind? And I highly doubt a doc would even tell a 14 yr old, or any teen, they dont have to use condoms if their on bc. Wether u are on it or not u should still take it for more assurance sense its not 100%.. Plus.. Especially u should sense u dont take it right.. But its obvious u wont admit none of this stuff on here and u make it seem like ur bein all careful and stuff but ur not. And uve told me alot of times u sometimes use condoms and sometimes not, and u knew u never take ur bc right. And last week u im'ed me and told me u felt 'moving' in ur stomach and asked if it could be the baby yet u would only be like a week or 2 pregnant....I just dont get how u can be havin sex and be responsible at all. . Anyone knows u dont feel a baby at a week pregnant. But ok im done postin about it cuz its obvious u only say this stuff one on one.
