How To Tell If My GF Is Pregnant?

Not to mention not planning to marry for a year...

I sincerely hope she is not pregnant, as I think you folks need some more time to mature yourselves. I don't mean that to be insulting - just that I don't think I agree with your self-description that you are 'ready'.

Andrew, I'm not sure how much you guys think the tests cost... they're really cheap.

You don't have eight dollars? (Click on link to go to a Walgreen's page.)

Ditto - or you can't borrow the $8. I can't believe that you want a baby this woman and wouldn't be out at the store immediately to see. When we thought - we got an ept at the first opportunity and it was difficult to wait the three minutes after peeing - forget about 2 weeks.

It also concerns me that if you can't afford an ept that you are planning on raising and supporting a baby - which is significantly more expensive than an ept.

Yeah, I remember seeing something faintly like a positive line around 8pm at night and spazing...throwing the dog in the car (she has to be crated without us there and it was easier to take her) and speeding like a maniac up to Walgreens for another test. I would have auctioned off my left leg to pay for those tests. When it came back negative, I was crushed.

I could hardly wait til morning to retake the stupid thing and woke up around 4:30am to take it. Which was then positive, in case you were wondering. (I guess I'd used up all my good pee the night before)

Funny Bella I had a slight faint positive with my first too. We were leaving for the Bahamas the next morning and even though my period wasn't due for several days - I decided to take it before I left, in case I wanted a Marguerita or something.

It showed a very faint pink line. So we didn't know if perhaps we left it too long to see (per instructions you may get a faint pink if you leave it too long).

When we were in the Bahamas I tried to find an ept and was too embarassed to ask for one - I couldn't find one for the life of me. The day we flew back, we stopped at the store and took it immediately upon getting home. It was definately positive. I hated not knowing.

That's why you spring for the kit with 2 tests.

When my period stopped, I used one, wasn't pregnant, and just figured I was getting old.

Hey, I still have the other one under my bathroom sink, maybe I should mail it to andrew.

My bad, guys. We are going to get one soon. We do have $8.00. I'm sure of it. And, we got more money in the bank, too.

Generally agree with the wise women of a2k, who have given their advice.

I hope you have $12,000. Planned Parenthood estimates it takes an additional $1,000 per month for the first year of a newborn's care. It steadily goes up as a children gets to school age. 75% percent of couples who have a child before the age of 22 are not still together by the time the child turns three.

Andrew, you seem like a very nice guy, but you have tough odds to beat.

Why are you in such a hurry to end your youth and freedom? I hope your girlfriend is not pregnant and you will decide to take a road trip through Europe instead of having a baby. But young people never listen to me.

Now that I could see. That was actually what tipped me off. I started having to pee more right around the time I was scheduled for my period.

My wife again. It was more noticeable very early on. Sometimes 20 or more times a day.

No need to get married just because of a baby any more!

But just to anser the question with my experience, too:

I was one week late with my period when flying to Turkey for a dive trip.
Nothing unusual there, I'm pretty irregular anyway.

When I came back 8 days later, I took a test and it was positive.
Two weeks later I went to the doctor who confirmed.

I did not have any other signs, and did not until about five months after that my trousers started to get tight.

If it was not for the bulge, I would have doubted that I was pregnant.
I was fit and happy.
No sickness, no growing breasts, no cravings, no nothing...

Great pregnancy!

No but our culture and traditions usually dictate that when two people want to raise a family they get married.

I didn't say anything negative. I am curious why they aren't getting married first. Marriage is far less of a committment step than having a baby.

Bella--

I think some people feel that children are inevitable and one takes care of children, planned or not. Marriage, on the other hand, is a serious commitment not to be rushed into.

When in Rome....

I do too. And if she was just suddenly, accidently pregnant, this would be a different story. I don't think you should get married just because you get pregnant.

But he is talking about trying to have a baby. Which I think is far more of a committment than marriage. And if you can't commit to one partner, how do you expect to commit to raising and being reponsible for another life?

Bella--

I agree with you. I'm very old fashioned about wanted babies in two-parent families.

Still, we can only suggest, not proscribe.

Well, I suppose I am just not that old fashioned...

What difference does it make to the child if his dad and I are married?
In my surroundings at least half the couples with children weren't married when the baby was born.
Some got married later, some didn't (but are still together).

As easy as it is to get a divorce today, I don't think it's much of a commitment any more.

I am actually married, but for different reasons than the baby.
