Q: Not Sure If I Am, But Introducting Myself

Hey everyone!
I was browsing on the web earlier trying to get some information about pregnancy and whatnot and I stumbled upon this.
I have been reading about pregnancy and child bearing since I was ~15. In my high school I was able to take a class regarding medicine/nursing so i've been around this kinda stuff for almost six years, but I don't know why, I still feel safer hearing personal experiences since symptoms differ so much.
Anyway, what i'm trying to get it down to is that i'm going to be 20 in a few months, with an amazing guy who i've known throughout highschool, and i'm not totally outta the loop when it comes to pregnancy..For the most part. Lol :p

anyway, now that that boring little introduction is outta the way. Like I said, i'm going to be twenty in a few months, and my period is 2 days late. I was on birth control from late may until early july. My periods were a little irregular the past few months, but I figured by now they should be starting to get back on track. My boyfriend and I have been having unprotected sex and lately I feel..Different. Last week I had slight cramping and felt a little wet, so I went to the bathroom and there was just a glob of white discharge in my underwear. It seemed different than the normal discharge i'd get and all week I would feel wet and then see that discharge. On saturday I was cramping pretty badly and I thought I was getting my period, and when I went to the bathroom I just saw that discharge again. My tummy has these butterfly feelings randomly and i've never felt them before. Today I woke up and went to my first class and felt nauseous the entire class period. (2hours) then I went to eat lunch with my bf around 1 and I felt so sick that I could barely eat. Even when I get sick I never feel sick to my stomach.

I talked with my boyfriend today, since this has been on my mind, and i've been having dreams about being pregnant. (silly, I know hehe) I think i'm going to give it another day or two and see what happens..Then i'll take a hpt.

My boyfriend and I are going to accept whatever happens and go from there.

So, I just wanted to get another story out there.
And I must say, all of you girls seem so nice!!

I'll keep you posted with what I find out and hope to talk to you all soon! (even if i'm not pregnant, I will most likely stick around here to hear others stories!) :d

nice to meet you!

ok so you'll know that unprotected sex = babies then?

if your period is late - test (it's in the stickies) first response can be used as early as 4 days before your period is due - pretty much all other tests are from the day your period is due, but it will say on the box anyway.

high risk of pregnancy.

that'd be nerves then - you don't feel any movements for the first few months at least.

why wait? Take a test then you will know if you are pregnant or not.

If you are you need to arrange pre natal care
if you aren't you need to find out why you are late and to sort out some form of birth control until you are ready to try for a baby.

Let us know what the test says.
this is a great forum to stick around on and you'll be suprised what you learn (even if you aren't pregnant) - there's some very wise girls on here and opinions on everything!
