NEED HELP! Girlfriend might be pregnant... need some insight

well you know there are plenty of home pregnancy tests. just pick up 2 or 3 and have her try them. no need to get all worried just yet. if she is pregnant then it's up to you 2 to decide. but i doubt that she got that way if you had rubber on.Ontain

[QUOTE="GazaAli"]Stop bullying people Teenaged...Teenaged

I wouldn't call what you do bullying, but you definitely pick fights with just about everyone by focusing on the minute details. It does make one wonder how much crap you put up with in your life that you have to take the fight to people you don't know. Just my amateur psycho-analysis, however.

HURRAY! Quick update, but all is well, she and I are not going to be parents anytime soon, she informed me that she just received her monthly visitor! Thank you all for the kind words (those who gave kind words anyway), and for the heartfelt support. It felt really good to have you guys reassuring me. Furthermore, I don't think that this will be a problem again, since she is going to start taking the pill now, she just had to wait for her visitor first. So, once again thank you all, i am going to go do some backflips, and if you have learned ANYTHING from this, be sure that you are safe when you have sex lol.... because then you can avoid losing a night of sleep over a pregnancy scare!Essian

I have had GF's experience 'spotting' quite a bit...never had a pregnancy

Almost anything 'can be' a sign of pregnancy though (from my research)

But no matter what anyone tells you, you are still going to be worried about it...just the way it is after you start having sex
-I worried all the time till I got fixed (even when GF's were on the pill)

In all seriousness - you are absolutely in the wrong place if you really need insight. I'm not sure what gave you the idea that strangers on a gaming site would give you the best possible advice...albatrossdrums

your in a pickle yo :3 :|

Are you sure it was you who got her pregnant?

Is your girl on the pill? That is insane that any girl getting slammed on a semi-regular basis wouldn't be on it.wstfld

some people CAN have issues, but that's very very rare in a teenage girl. Heart attacks and blood clots and liver tumors and stuff are a one in a billion chance for a girl that ageXilePrincess

OK so, whats your point? My statement is still valid. You not having problems =/= there being no problems. Most of the effects won't be felt until later on in life anyway. Its the same with diet pills. You may not have any problems at the time of usage. Besides I said CAN occur which in itself implies that some people won't have problems.jeremiah06

Did you read my post? I said some people can have issues, I never claimed there was no problems, it more or less sounded like you were assuming that bad things happen often, which they don't. it's extremely rare to have much more than an offset period the first month or two or gaining 5 pounds for a teenager, especially one that is otherwise healthy and isn't taking anything that would counteract with the pills.

I've been through study after study and asked about a dozen doctors if it'll screw me up later in life to take these, I've been told time and time again that there is no proof that it will do anything. Older people (40s) seem to still believe outdated ideas like that taking birth control will make you not be able to become pregnant after you stop taking it, that it's unsafe to skip periods, or that you have to go off birth control every once in a while to 'relieve' your body of it, which are all untrue. the idea that birth control can cause severe problems in enough people that it's noticeable (which is what I assumed you were implying) is also a myth. Diet pills are nothing the same as birth control, BC regulates hormone levels, diet pills (most of them) work by either trying to speed up your metabolism or block your body from absorbing fat and calories.

I don't know about that.
I know 3 girls (ages 20-28, non smokers) that have had SEVERE problems due to the pill.
There are a couple **** action lawsuits going on atm.
I am glad that you have had no such problems, but that does not discount the fact that others have not been so luckyrawsavon

this brings up a good point that I seem to have forgotten, which I apologize to jeremiah06 for. I forgot about the fact that a lot of girls' bodies don't react normally to one brand of pill, but do fine with another. So again, I apologize, that slipped my mind until I remembered a friend I have who had to go through about a dozen brands before she found one that worked properly for her.

I have a real problem with the =/= meaning "does not equal". There is already a very accepted way of doing that. It's called "!=", and its a programming syntax for a good majority of languages, which most people should understand. A little off topic, yes, but != is so much cooler than =/=.

Your telling me he doesn't need my input. You didn't say "Don't do this again" because you would get moderated. Snipes_2

I didnt say he doesnt need your input in general.

I said....

Not your input on if what he did is right/wrong or if he should know better etc. At this point he doesnt need this...Teenaged

I didnt say that he doesnt your input general as if I am implying that your opinion is always unnecessary but I referred to what you specifically told him.

Yeah I guess you know better than me what I intended to say and you know why I said it.....

Advice/Criticism =/= demand/order

Also I highly doubt I would get moderated if I told you "dont do this again".

You write the "equal" sign ( = ) and you draw a diagonal line above it. But in text on the internet in order to express that you have to type the equal sign twice and the slash in between in order to look like what I described above.

Lolwut? I'm lead products developer at a reputablecompany, why would I brag about basic programming knowledge when it is my profession? My point was, taht != is less characters, its cooler, so I'm trying to get it to catch on. I am aware =/= is a hack for the mathematical "does not equal", I have a math major as well. But it looks hokey on the intertubez.

EDIT: Also FYI, I work in VB.Net, so if I were just trying to show off, I would try to get double arrows (gamespot filters it out, actually because of tag syntax)to catch on :p. No but seriously, != is much cooler.

No Offense but you decided to take the risks when you did that.

What a sick world.

If you used a condom, the odds are little to none. Spotting is supposed to occur 6 to 12 days after conception, so three weeks doesn't sound right. Anything's possible, I suppose. If she's very tired at all, that's a sign as well. Everyone's different, so it's no need to get worried, and it's better for her not to worry, either, so as not to have stress delay her period any longer.dreDREb13

You imported the genuine "=/=" sign into GS's record!

Condoms have a failure rate. You should be prepared for this type of thing occurs. (Call me a troll if you must, but I'm just being Rational.)

just get an abortion, it will solve all your problems.chopperdave447
