I think my gf might be pregnant. Please help.

Is that including medical insurance and co-pays?

Did you include toys for the baby, even if not new?

You know, this sounds old fashioned, but every week I take a $20.00 bill and put it in an evelope for emergencies.

Even $5.00 or $10.00 adds up. You just have to pretend it's not there.

I think it's a really good thing that this has got you thinking.

I doubt she's pregnant, but when you are ready for a family when you've got a better job, you'll have already done some of your homework.

What's keeping you from buying a home pregnancy test? I think some work even before you've missed a period?

I don't know if anyone has asked this questsion...Do you love this girl? Does she love you?

Frankly, I am impressed that you've already added up the basic costs, Andrew. I certainly wouldn't have thought that far ahead when I was 19. Good for you!

I still hope she isn't pregnant, though. You will be able to support yourself and a family much more easily a few years from now.

If I were you, I'd contact a family planning clinic and see how soon they can do a reliable pregnancy test. Sometimes they have tests that work sooner than over-the-counter pregnancy test kits. If she's not pregnant, they can also give your girlfriend a prescription for a "morning after" pill, in case of contraceptive failure.

On a small if you can say this is a update, but last night she was down my house. She kept putting my hand on her stomach and told me that she still hasn't started her period yet. So, I'm totally not sure now if she is or not.

I like GreenWitch's advice about Planned Parenthood, but if you'd rather not, reliable early pregnancy tests are available at any drug store and most supermarkets, and they don't cost much, either.

So, do you think that she is? Because she hasnt started her period yet. Like, she came out of nowhere and said "You want to know something" I'm like "Sure" She said: "I still havent started my period yet." I didnt know what to think.

Andrew, my response is the same as at the very beginning -- impossible to know, it's possible, but too many variables to say anything for sure, get a test if you want answers.

Good luck.

When was she due to get her period, have her period been regular in the past?

When did she get her last period?

I'm not just machine gunning these questions at you Andrew, that's the important stuff to know though.

Does she keep track of when she's due, or when she gets them?

When I first started menstruating, there were 2 other women in the house....from that 1st time (ok, 2nd time really) my mother took me to the calendar and showed me all these S's and J's circled on the calendar, for my mother and sister....so right from the start, I just joined in....

To this day, I still circle the date in my checkbook calendar.....now I'm 47, and up until this last year was always very regular. I havene't had my period for about 2 and a half months now, but no way would I remember that without having marked it down.

If she's not pregnant, and if she's not keeping track, she really should in the future.

All that has to happen, to be fairly certain whether or not she's pregnant, is for her to pee on a stick.

Buy a test, hand it to her, and tell her it's time to tinkle.

Andrew, sometimes worry/stress will cause periods to be late. This could be the reason.

Is she worried about it or anxiously waiting?

From your statement, and the fact that she put your hand on her stomach, it just sounds to me that she may be enjoying the anticipation, in hopes that she is.....

Well Andrew, my philosphy is this: If your man enough to have sex, then your man enough to go into a pharmacy and buy a pregnancy test, along with some condoms, incase she's not pregnant so you don't have to relive this again anytime soon....lol

As Drewdad said, "Its time for her to tinkle."

really, I keep forgetting about that....it would show up by this time andrew....

no offense, but do you think maybe she's either having wishful thinking, trying to get a commitment from you, or something else?

OK, your first post was on 6/8, that was 7 days ago.....was the 8th the day you had the "sex" with her?

If it was, there's no way, she could be sitting there, feeling her stomach, as if she felt pregnant.

Really, I can't say any more until I know the dates.

Andrew, do you know about the time cycles of a woman? To recap something you may already know, but it's worth repeating if it's educational to someone else down the line.

A woman, regardless of how often she mentruates, ovulates 14 days (close enough for this discussion) before her next period starts.

If you had unprotected sex with her only 7 days ago, she might have gotten pregnant if she was ovulating at that time, but her period wouldn't even be due until 7 days from now.

So, what's the deal as far as dates?

She is worried about it, for sure. But, she seems really happy about it, also.

The last time she had her period was at the end/early part of this month. Yes, the 8th day was when that happened. So, I'm just assuming that her next one will be around near the end of this month. That's usually when hers starts.

Ok, being late because you think your pregnant is not uncommon. Being late can be caused by stress. So...

HAVE HER TAKE THE TEST.

Oh one more thing....you count from the FIRST day of a womans period, not the last....

If you're saying her last period started on the 1st of this month, then her next period, in theory should start the 28th of this month also.

In that case, she was ovulating yesterday, while she was patting her tummy.

Did you have unprotected sex with her yesterday?

Assuming a 28 day cycle, if you had sex with her on June 8th, her last period would have started May 25 for her to be ovulating on the 8th.

We don't know anything about her cycle length, is it longer or shorter than 28 days? Is she regular?

From the situation you've described, having not ejaculated in her, I'm really doubting she's pregnant andrew.

One thing though, I'm sure most of the women here, and that includes me, have had a scare at one time in their lives.

I remember convincing myself in college that I had gotten pregnant, and freaking out how this was going to ruin my whole life.

Looking back, there was absolutely no way I could have been pregnant, but hey, try to tell me that at the time. I know how it feels.

that is true...andrew just ask her when her starting and ending dates are normal then come back so we can figure it out from there...though what many of the adults are saying here is more than true ....she might be wanting to be pregnant or the stress might be just more than enough for her...my period is not normal so i wouldn't be sure about someone's who is...by the way is that normal?

Chai is right. We ovulate about 14 days after our last period began. We can only get pregnant during the 3 days right around ovulation. I would bet $1000 your girlfriend is NOT pregnant.

Ovulation is much less regular than had been thought, though, which is part of why the rhythm method is so unreliable:

Quote:

Women may ovulate more than once a month, suggests a Canadian study that overturns conventional views on the human menstrual cycle.

The findings may explain why the rhythm method of contraception is so unreliable and could lead to improved, targeted fertility treatments in the future.

Ten per cent of the women studied released two eggs in the same month. And all the women examined by researchers at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, Canada showed at least two waves of maturing eggs in their ovaries in the same month.

Traditionally, it has been thought that ovulation takes place only once in every menstruation cycle. A growth wave of 15 to 20 egg-carrying cells called follicles occurs before ovulation. One follicle will become dominant while the others die off.

"It's been assumed until now that women have just one wave per monthly cycle, leading to one ovulation, but nobody has actually carried out detailed analysis before," said Roger Pierson, who led the study. "In fact, all the women in our study had at least two waves and 30 per cent of them had three."

I think it's unLIKELY that your girlfriend is pregnant, Andrew, but it's not at all impossible, and if you're at all worried, get the test. We can tell you some of the likelihood but there is no way we can tell you whether she is pregnant or not. Only the test can.
