Might I be pregnant?

[remedialfairy3]

ok i just had sex 3 days ago and muh boyfriend pulled out and i am so deathly scared that i might be or get pregnate now and i was wondering how long it would take to tell if i was pregnate or not by useing a pregnacy test. please pray that i am not tho!!!

First thing calm down !

Pregnancy test, these days are quite accurate but i would take one about 1 and a half to 2 weeks after penetration then one a week after - the first test - just in case (just to make doublely sure). if the worst comes to worst dont hide it, the best thing to do is to talk to every1 involved, b/f and parents can help you so much through a time like this.

Next time stop praying to God to find answers and either take the pill, use a condom or use both. saves a lot of time and worry (and god aint gonna do much)

hopefully ull b fine. hope u dont mind taking advice from a guy.

Well, it could probably take about a week after the event or a bit mroe. BUt most home tests say they can check a few days before the period. SO you mgiht want to wait a few more days and check. OR go ahead and check now and recheck again in a week or so.
And use a condom, please. Better yet, go on a pill and use a condom. Seriously, this is something you gotta take responsobility of yourself. God ain't here to look after you all the time, sorry. You need to take care of you and not hope that someone else will.

Well, it has been said that, "God takes care of fools and little children", and I"m sure you fall into at least one of those catagories. Let's hope so.

Today's test are indeed faster and more accurate, but I would take at least a couple spread out over 2 weeks just to be sure. *Or just go to the doctor. *And as archer said, if the worst happens, deal with it right away. *This is not a situation that gets better by itself. *

Okay now for THE SPEECH.

A surer rule to live by than the one I opened with is, "God takes care of those who take care of themselves." *So for God's sake, get on the pill and USE A CONDOM. *If it were me, I'd be on the pill, use a diaphragm, a spermicidal gel, and still make him use a condom. *Then if something went wrong, God might just listen.

[archer]

i think if anyone used wat oberon said : "If it were me, I'd be on the pill, use a diaphragm, a spermicidal gel, and still make him use a condom" i dont think any1 would enjoy sex, and no one would feel a thing. orgasms would be an unknown thing lol.

just trying to say dont be a pendulum! from goin to no protection to all out maximum security. u have to find a balance where it is very safe, and you can also enjoy urself. putting all these things on just before penetration would defineetly dampen the mood of hte experience

Okay, archer, it may seem that I went a little overboard, but I just get so angry, what with all the dire consequences, that people refuse to take a few precautions.

I don't see that anything I mentioned is too intrusive when you consider possible alternatives.

If you think it's hard to enjoy sex with those things, try it with a newborn in the house or better yet a toddler. *As a female with a small child, try finding time even to get out of the house to find someone to have sex with. *Because, don't kid yourself, the odds of the baby's father sticking around are slim.

Beyond that, we are not even talking about just preventing pregnancy. *How would you like to live the rest of your life with HIV/AIDS? *How about herpes? *There are no cures for these things. *And they don't respond to "Oops, sorry, I made a mistake."

It may sound like I'm just ranting here, but I've live through this first hand. *I have a young sister who had two children before she was eighteen(18). *I've seen how hard it can make your life. *I have also personally known too many people- not just gay people- who have died from AIDs.

So have fun, yes, but PLEASE protect yourselves.

[archer]

I respect your views and i didnt mean to give the impression that little or no protection is okay.

[oberon]

Oh, I knew that. *And your point about over stressing is correct- although when I read that kids aren't taking any precautions, it makes me want to jump up and down and shriek to the heavens{lol}- it is possible to become too paranoid. *

I don't want to scare anyone. *I'm not saying sex is bad or don't have sex. *That would be dire. *I'm just saying if you are going to go bungee jumping, make sure the rope is in good shape and well tied down. *Protect yourself.

ok well i apriciate yalls adivice but NO ONE should tell me weahter or nto i can say anything about god

[thetease13]

no one said you couldn't say anything about god.
all they said was that you really shouldn't be praying to him that you aren't pregnant for something you're at fault for. instead you should just take the necessary precautions next time.
