Um I don't really no how to start things like this... Well when I was 16 I had an abortion... I wasn't going to but the only reason for keeping the baby would be to keep the guy and I knew that wasn't going to happen... Now I am scared that I am pregnant again... Now I am 19... I don't know what I should do... The father was just a one night stand thing... And we used protection.. But I havn't gotten my . In 3 months... To scared to go to the doctors... And to take a test... I havn't gotten any symtoms... Maybe its just a missed .
Well later

If u havent gotten ur period in 3months maybe u should test just to be safe. Thats all I can say, I know that I didnt get my period for 3months and then I found out I was pregnant. So just take a test..But u said it was protected sex right?

Just tell your mom (after taking a few tests that come back neg so you dont admit to her until you have to) that you are having abnormal periods and would like to be checked out and maybe you can convince her to get bc for you to "regulate your cycle" Wink

Yeah birthcontrol can make you gain wait, but it doesnt do that to everyone.. It didnt do it to me. And if it does? So what, just work out and loose it lol, its worth it trust me, bc if you get pregnant youll gain even more weight! ;]

Umm, and pregnancy doesn't? Please don't tell me you don't want bc because of possible weight gain!!! Would you rather get pregnant, gain many pounds in a matter of weeks and have to raise a baby or go through all that and adopt, have stretch marks and then know you have to take care of a kid?? Is that better than gaining a few pounds here and there?? If you live on your own than there is no problem because (caps)you are on your own!! (caps) just get on bc, there is no reason not to!!
Not for cost, not for weight gain, nothing because the alternative is obviously not any better. You either sink money into pills every once in a while and have security or have no security and sink money into pregnancy tests and maybe even a baby!

Your right... What about depo... Is it better then bc?? Money I dont care about the money... It was the weight gain I was worried about... But I go to the gym so it shouldnt bother me... So now if I am preg... Could I keep going to the gym... Or will it hurt the baby???

Well I wouldnt get so jumpy about it like bd1012 did.. But I agree... Thats just silly if u dont wanna get on bc because of weight gain yet u dont wanna be pregnant. But curious.. If u are, would u get another abortion? U definitly need to stop waiting... No period for 3 months, u need to test.. And im hoping u wouldnt get another abortion.. Plus that means u could already be more then 12 weeks!

No I wouldnt be able to get another abortion... The first one was hard enough... I know the guy that would be the father... We were friends... I dont know what he would say... But its not like its some random guy that I dont know... If I am I am... I am also older and living on my own... And im working... I have the money to suport me and another... I can also go on wick which will help alot

Depo so far is awesome, I am on it and it works so well, it is my lifesaver!! Some people bleed alot though but I have had no problems and have not gained any weight at all!! Now as far as weight gain, woman like I said, the alternative is not any better, now if you think you will gain 50 pounds in one day then maybe but you don't so don't worry about it. Are you one of them 102 pound people who freak out over 1 pound?? Anyway right now I have had no period since I got on it and it is reliable and the only problem I have is that I need toilet paper after we finish, it all comes out and it's yucky but hey if it's out there it's not in my tubes trying to get into that egg!! Wink

no bc for fear of weight gain.. Rolling Eyes

Depo can actually screw up ur cycle tho.. My friend went on it and now has so much trouble getting her period back. .She didnt have it for 2 yrs after the shot! So sometimes it can mess up your fertility.. I know a few people actually that have had problems. But not everyone reacts the same. .And not everyone gains with birth control.. I didnt. My boobs got a tiny bigger is all. . . And if u were pregnant, u could still go to a gym, but u have to be very careful. .And u cant over-exert urself. Actually doctors say u cant work out until ur tired because that means youve over-worked yourself. .And if u are preg, well u have to expect to allow yourself to gain at least 25lbs.. The normal is 25-35 for normal weight gain, some gain quite a bit more,.. Some gain a little less.. So dont try to limit it to less then that for your babys sake, you can work on losing weight after the pregnancy....Im 36 1/2 weeks tomorrow and ive gained 22 lbs. I watch what I eat so I dont gain excessively, but I eat definitly enough.

Me too, I weigh like 130 something. 120 for 19 is pretty skinny, but then again I have belly fat (not preggy fat, soda fat, I love pepsi!) so that's prob where the 10 pounds is or evenly distributed throughout. Anyway I understand how you dont want anymore weight, it's just when the alternative will make you gain more weight that's silly, unless you know of one that will work good for you that won't make you gain weight and you won't get preggy.
