Help Me Plz Answer My Question
Posted: 01-24-05 23:19pm

Hi im 16 and my gf who is 14 thinks she is pregnant. I dont usually post on this but I really dont know what to do. We had sex about 5 days ago and it was friday and on saturday she said she had a bad stomach ach, she felt tired and she had dramatic mood changes. She knows she wants the baby but now im having second thoughts. I dont know what the risk of her dying during birth is and if its very high then I dont know what to do. Are those sympstoms she has because she is pregnant? And what is the risk of her dying. Also its only beenm 6 days..Can I get her tested? Thanks alot and plz try to help

I believe 6 days is to early to test. I think its something like 5 days after her first missed period. But I don't know about a stomach ache being a big symptom. Maybe she just had to poop :)

Ok, firstly, unless theres some family history, then the chances of her dying during birth are very slim.

When is her period due? And how long does her cycle usually last?

"most" women ovulate, 2 weeks before there next period is due.

U can get her tested with a first response tester, a few days before her next period. Or... Wait until her next period is due, and missed.

I wouldnt have thought that pregnancy symptoms would take effect, so soon after conceiving, if in fact she has concieved.

I hope this is of some help.

And I recomend you using protection in the future, if you are not ready to become a father yet.

Her risk of dying if she goes to the doc and listens and does as the say is like less than 1% I think

Thanks alot that really helped now that im not so worried about her. Someone just told me the chances were high and once I heard that I started looking. She said her periods are irregular..Someone also told me that theres a lot less chance that she wont get pregnant because of that..But its the same person that told me she is likley to die to...Is that true? Maybe I shouldnt listin to my ex anymore :roll: lol. Thanks...Going to school now..

I think you should know that every time you have sex, your at risk of conceiving a baby.
Unless its gay sex...
Or the female dosent has ovaries, or a womb etc.

I concieved using 2 methods of birth control, the pill and the condom.

Good luck.

ok first of all, there is absolutely no way your girlfriend would have any symptoms this early. Secondly, there is a less than 1% chance that your girlfriend will die during childbirth. Thirdly she can test as early as 4 days before her next period but as you say she has irregular periods I would wait at least a month before testing. Fourthly --get her on birth control--it'll help regulate her period and 14 is too young for a child. Good luck!

If it is true..We are keeping it. Shes already made up her mind. I just dont know since her periods are irregular then I cant tell when her next period is. Shes just been sick latley now and idk what else. So I still dont know when I can get her tested.

3 weeks after you had sex, *should* give u a positive yes or no.

Thats only by estimation though, if she still has doubts about whether dhe is pregnant or not, tell her to get a blood test.

It is possible she could be preg. But these symptoms may also be stress related. If you both have been stressing over this it can make her sick..I know I had that happen I got too scared for no reason but I was literally sick. Just calm down and wait until you can test...I hope it all works out for u both!
