Q: Easy My Fiance's Nerves?
asked by: Jackgreggory on May 1st, 2007

My fiance is not wanting a baby right now and is afraid she might be pregnant and I'm trying to dissuade her and calm her nerves.

We had a short session of unprotected sex on the night of April 5th. During the 7th and the 8th she had a heavy period flow. Now, this week of the beginning of May, she is complaining about some pregnancy symptoms including sore breasts, gas, and frequent urination. She's very against taking a pregnancy test.

I am thinking that since she had a heavy flow, the chances are slim but, being a guy, I am unsure. What's the chances or prognosis?

You don't still have a 'period' when you are pregnant. You can have break-thru bleeding that some women believe to be a period - but it is not a period and is generally light.

Pregnancy symptoms and pms symptoms are quite similar. This makes early pregnancy symptoms nearly worthless, since all women at one time or another have considered these symptoms as pregnancy symptoms.

Wait until her period is late, then worry and also take a test. More than likely she is not pregnant. Don't stress about it.

Good luck!

Thanks for the confidence boost...

She spent 10 bucks on what she said was a better, 99% test kit at the store. She took it and she said it came out slightly negative...meaning she had to squint to see it.

She took a blood test today and will know tomorrow when the doctor calls her back...

Results:

Week 1 (1 month since possible conception):
Take home test 1: faint negative
Blood test from doctor 2 days later: negative
She has a very light period.

She then started getting nausious alot and had to eat saltines and only certain foods. Her breasts grew a size and are extremely sore to the touch. Her lower belly got so big that she had to use rubberbands to keep the pants together. Naturally, I got concerned and, along with a co-worker of hers, we were totally convinced she was pregnant.

Week 2 (a month and a week since possible conception):
Take home test: faint negative
Blood test from Doctor: negative.

Since then her belly shrunk and she can now fit back into jeans. Relieved husband-to-be but depressed fiance (she really wanted it badly). Moral of the story: Don't count your symptoms until they're proven?

Can I just ask, what do you mean by a 'faint negative'? If there is no line then it is negative but if there is a faint second line then it is positive. So was there a faint line? Confused

That would be irrelevant, considering a blood test at the doctor's office was negative.
