Q: I Have a Question....

I'm a total pessimist and I can't believe that I am and could be pregnant. My man and I had sex the night before I tested, would having sex the night before have any impact on the results?

p.S. Jessika, I want to thank you for being such a help to me.

having sex the night before wouldn't have an impact on the recent test, but could have an effect on a later one, if you got pregnant that night.



Heather, it is no problem helping you! Your a real sweetheart! Thanks that was really kind of you! Smile

good luck and best wishes

Allright....I just..Wanted to make sure....Cause I took a test in the morning...My first pee, and it came back positive....And my old foster mom wants to take me to a caring pregnancy center and I want a blood test...They are just going to do a urine test...And I can do one of those right here at home in my own privacy (im seriously shy)..Its all pretty confusing. And I pee a lot during the day... Like today...Once when I woke, then when I got to school, and then between 3-4 hours, and after 4th, and then during 5a, and then during 5b, and then when I got home...And im still counting, so I dont think taking a test during the day will really help me out too much...I dont think it will come back positive...I need to find some money and go get another one and take it in the morning when I first get up. I promised her though if it was confirmed by us and a blood test, id tell my dad. So, eh.

Yeah, but they are only open during the night, and it wont come back like it could if I did it in the morning cause the levels or whatever of that hormone would be all flushed out before the day was half over. I think I should do it at home or in the morning when I first wake, and if I did it at home, I could do it in my own privacy.


Thanks,
heather

Colorado is a *bleep* of a state. Closed economy, no jobs, all that...But the educational systems are good and we got the mountains, so it's cool. And its only open during the night tonight, and I dont know, I think there are only two other days its open during the day. And I got school..And I dont plan on quiting or dropping out, graduating, I pray.

Thats really good, when your closer to the moths check in to see if they have indepentand study where you go once a week and do your own work at home, you can do that until you graduate. Its alot easier.

Yeah...I did check a while back cause I hate school...But I want to become a registered nurse so I can make a good amount of money and only have to go to college for a short time. I'm almost a junior, and because the colorado education schools are "so" good...They dont have independant study...Im thinking of going to this alternative highschool...They go from 8:30 am - 12 pm and they have child care while you go to school and I think all you have to do in return is go to the parenting classes, and I am always up to learning new things when it comes to child-care. I had to raise my little sister when I was like 10 till 12 before we went into foster care....So I have a bit of experiance, but I know nothing thats coming up in the future. Luckily, I am betroved *dance* and my fiance is really in love with children just as I am...We're a match made in heaven *giggles*
