Q: My Rant: My Situation

Okay. I need to talk to other people about my situation than just my mom. I don't want to tell any of my friends, etc, until I am 100% positive. (though I am 80% certain I am pregnant)



being the dummy I am, I had unprotected intercourse multiple times during my ovulation period (dec 29th - jan 2nd). Today is exactly 30 days since my last period began. Usually there is only a 26-27 day differance between the first days of each period. In the last few months of last year, there was only 24-25 days inbetween, due to stress I am guessing. On saterday the 10th, I had thought I had gotten my period early, due to a tiny bit of blood on the tissue when I went to the bathroom, not heavy enough to show up on my underwear, but then it stopped the same day. Now again, last night, I had spotted again, but very small. Very weak, almost non-existant periods. I have never spotted before, ever. Usually my periods are extremely heavy. They always come without warning and flood my underwear, bedding, etc. I got a pregnancy test on the 15th, but that was less than 2 weeks from conterception. The results were negative. My doctor told me I could not have 100% accurate results until the 23rd. Not to mention I read multiple times, when taking a test, it is supposed to be the first urane you pass in the morning, for more concentration, etc. I took the test in mid-afternoon after school. I dont really have any symptoms. My mom said when she was pregnant, she had extremely sore breats, and in my fathers side, they usually have morning sickness. I am aware its soon, but I have none of those signs. I am mostly just very tired all the time. Then again, I usually am, so that proves nothing. I just really needed to get this off my chest. Thanks for listening Smile

edit: I guess I should mention that I am 16, 17 on march 15th Smile
edit2: I have to get some more stuff off my chest. In a way, I am happy, that I may be pragnant. If I am not, I plan on not telling anyone. Keep it between my mother and i, and go on the pill. If I am, I plan on telling the guy (no question on the dad) about it after I get the test done. I plan on asking him straight up, in person, "im pragnant. Will you take responsibility and be a daddy?" my mother and I taked about this. Her opinion is very clear, and I mostly agree. If he will do the right thing, I will have the baby, if not, then she wants me to go to calgary and abort. I have done the math, and figured I could handle being a single mother, but it would be extremely hard, and I would finish school at least a year late. (i am already a year behind school). I dont really want to miss out on my education. It would be easier for me to finish school if he helped out. The only thing is, I am not sure how he will take the news. He is the "big tough" type. Always must be right and get his way. Slightly controlling. Not exactly my knight in shining armor. Very upfront with his opinions. He's a nice guy once you get to know him. Would never harm a female if you are wondering. He is 20, has a job, and his father owns a couple very big companys in alberta. There would not be any money problems if he was involved. I have known him for over a year, and hes one of the "cool mustang guys". All about fast cars and bar hopping. I dont really know what to think. So many things going through my head right now. I don't exctly want to move in with him or anything, just, as I said, for him to be involved. Other things on my mind is that I am a smoker. I don't have the willpower to quit yet, since the stress of this is just huge. And at the beginning of the month I was drinking heavily, for the end of the holidays and for the sake that I am halfway through this school year, etc. I know its not a big deal yet. I have already avoided alcohol since that one saterday when I spotted, but I cant "butt-it-out" yet. I could go on endlessly about this. I'll stop now. Smile

Thats cool, about the b-days.

I aint stressing about it usually, just was ealier when I was sitting at home alone, trying to do homework.

I was supposed to get my period at least 3 days ago. I just have to, as you said, calm down, and twiddle my thumbs until friday.

Oh yea, I am from red deer, alberta.

I figure I can raise a child on my own, with my families help, I just would rather there be a father figure there....

Hey hun....Im sorry bout what your going through. .But u gotta try to stay stress free (which im sure is hard) till u find out. Im a little curious tho why at 16 you would be happy to be pregnant? Im not bashing u or anything, im just curious because im 18 and I definitly wasnt happy when I found out I was pregnant, now I am because I am excepting of it and know its coming. Anyhow.. Would u realy get an abortion if the father wants to be a dick? U could do it w/ out him. .Either way he would have to pay child support too. But just dont think abortion would be your only other option. If u couldnt do it theres also adoption. Well goodluck and keep us posted on what happens w/ the father and the test*

The reason I am happy, is cuz like most girls my age, ive always wanted a baby. But I didn't want one until I was outta school and had a car and my own apartment.


I dont really believe in abortions. I have had friends that have done it. Its my moms opinion that I should, if he is a dink. I know though, that I could do it alone. It would be hard, but I have faith. If I am going to have the baby (which I most likely will) I would not put it up for adoption. That would kill me emotionaly. Once I have the bundle of joy, I know I could never let go of him (or her).


By the time I have to get the test done on friday, my period will be over a week late, and after spotting twice, I am pretty sure the results will be positive.



I have the little voice in the back of my head telling me that I should tell the guy now, since I am pretty dang sure it will be positive. But I dont want it to be all for nothing, and suddenly get a 4-9 day late period.


Anyway, I have to go to bed. I hopefully will relieve some stress in my sleep.

The guy logged onto msn just a bit ago. Heres how it went:

(l) paradoxic (l) I need to talk to you about something important in the next week.

Ice Neutral what?

(l) paradoxic (l) I need to tell you soemthing, but I do not want to tell you over the computer or on the phone. It's very important.

Ice Neutral tell me now or dont bother

(l) paradoxic (l) I might be pregnant. Not sure yet. I have to wait until friday to get a test done.

Ice Neutral that aint possible cuz I pulled out everytime

(l) paradoxic (l) I know you did, but **** happens (pre-cum, etc). My period is late, your the only one I have slept with since the beginning of december, and i've "spotted" twice this month. I don't really know what to think yet. I have to wait until friday.

Ice Neutral my *** I am, u prolly had much more fun than I know bout

(l) paradoxic (l) I did not sleep with anyone else since the beginning of december.

Ice Neutral my ***

(l) paradoxic I don't go around and sleep with more than one person at the same time.

(l) paradoxic (l) I don't wanna get into a arguement here, I just thought I would tell you. This has been bugging me for a week.

Ice Neutral ur getting an abortion if u r right

ice Neutral right?

(l) paradoxic (l) computer froze

ice Neutral ur going into the abortion clinic if u r right

(l) paradoxic (l) im so frustrated right now. My mom's opinion is the same as yours pretty much. So I would probably most likely end up going to calgary, no matter how much I would want otherwise.

Ice Neutral good

ice Neutral thats what I wanna hear



i am supposed to call him in 20 minutes Confused

Oh my lord,this is guy is such an fool! He doesnt seem 2 care about u or what ur going through and it seems he wont b there 4 u if u r pregnant.U cant let this guy win-r u really going 2 have an abortion just cos he wont support u? What happens if u do have one? Will u stay with him? U need 2 make the right choice 4 u huni,decide what ur gonna do & stick 2 it.
U probably shud have met face to face with him os its easier to gage some1s reactions that way but I guess u just really needed 2 tell him
let me know how things go,
good luck & stand ur ground with him

Him and I aren't dating. We never were. Thats the bad thing.


And my mom isn't ready to be a grandma. I truly ain't totally ready to me a mommy either. No matter how much I would love it. I really would, I know it would be really hard. My mom and I are convinced I am pregnant, even without the test. I am so frustrated right now.


My moms two comments that stick in my mind from out confersation a coupel minutes are "his dad's rich eh? You could always live in his pocket" and "i think you should make him drive to calgary"

..... Crying or Very sad

I agree with karim.Dont let any1 force u in2 an abortion-do u know what an abortion involves? Its horrific but,if u decide thats what you (caps) want then I guess no one can stop u.Also,i suppose ur mom mite not b ready 2 b a granny but in the scheme of things,is that worth aborting ur baby 4? I think not.
By the way,whats calgary?
Please dont let any1 force u 2 do anything u dont want 2

Now that you got your period can you just promise me one thing, you will get on the pill, it isnt fair to have unprotected sex and then make your body and the "baby" suffer, not to mention your emotions and the people around you. Think about everything that you said to us now that you arent pregnant that way you dont have to put yourself or anyone else throught this fi you really arent ready...Later, stacie

Im going to be doctors tomorrow afternoon, or the next day, and getting the pill. That was way to stressful of a week.



Edit: my mom and I figured, due to the way things went, and the signs, and the spotting, and how everything timed out, I was probably pregnant and miscarried. *shrugs* god has plans for me in life, and right now, having a baby is not one of them.
