Pregnancy scare, have questions.

First off, I realize this is such an odd place to post this (Trying to get everyones opinion), but to anyone whose had experience with this type of thing I have a few questions. Me and my girlfriend are worried that she might be pregnant, we had unprotected sex about a week ago we used plan B the next day (Dumb move I know, wasn't planned). Now she thinks shes had her period, but its lighter than usual, and her breasts are tender moreso than usual. These are common symptoms of pregnancy, but I was wondering if it was possible for these symptoms to appear anyways without neccesarily being pregnant. Any tips, suggestions would be great, this type of thing is just extremely scary as both our families would look poorly at us (to put it lightly).

Please, be patient with me, I know I made a stupid mistake and would like some knowledge from the more experienced.

didn't she take emergency contraception?

I got a bad news to you, she is pregnant. You might want to check with a gynecologist.

You can't take a pregnancy test in a forum over the internet, you have to go to a pharmacist.Yummy_carrot

yup if she took the pill as directed chances are pretty good(90%) that she isn't pregnant but it wouldn't leave it up to fate. Get a pregnancy test for sure also the may call it the mourning after pill but its better to take it as soon as possible really.

if you took the plan B the very next day or in within a couple of hours of intercourse then your good if not then its up in the air, you need to go get that pregnancy test just to make sure.

He needs to do it regardless because plan b is not 100% effective.

All we need to know is.. when you released, did you do it in her..?

^^^did you pull and shoot?

Shouldn't sleep together so close to her period, and as a man you should always come (no pun intended) prepared.

That said, she won't know unless she has a test - and after a week it's very hard to tell. Mulling over this won't help you, just get a test but learn from the experience.

If she took Plan B you should be safe, otherwise it's 50-50 chance she's pregnant. Pregnant women can still get their period within the first 2-3 months of pregnancy, so I suggest she take a pregnancy test to be sure.

My wife saw spotting and thought her period was coming, and we had given up for the month. Surprise! She's pregnant. And she had breast soreness as well. Go to the doctor and get a definitive test.

Its not even about using a condom, If you don't wanna use one then atleast shoot in her mouth or summin, this is common sense I don't understand why people haven't been educated about this. Fair enough if its a poor country but in a well developed country? Naaaaa

Kids eh! We've all had 'the scare' at least once or twice - if she's on the blob that's a good sign. Don't worry about it. And what's plan be? Coat hanger?

Could be a light period or pregnancy, though you should be good with plan B.

You'll feel 100% better (or worse) one you know for sure

Man if it was 50/50 a girl was on the blob for the couple of months yet still be pregnant then the world would be spewing out children equivalent to the the population of Russia every day.

[QUOTE="DeadMan1290"][QUOTE="thegerg"] How did you calculate the 50% chance on pregnancy? poptart

Good luck to you whatever happens.

I now want to call my band PRE CUM. It'll look good on a t-shirt.

She may be more aware of any irregularity because of your concerns. None of what you described can be used to give you a definitive diagnosis. Most of the commercial preganancy tests are fairly accurate and become more accurate with repeated use. You may want to research one or two of them online and then go with the best recommended one. The chance of getting pregnant from a one time encounter isnt tremendously high, but it just depends on what part of her cycle she was in. It's usually only a few days a month that a woman can get pregnant, but it's not very reliable to try and time it.

Go to a fvcking clinic...

Hmmm, fvcking clinic.
We have those here.

Congrats on being a dad!

Wouldn't really work for fan mugs however.

Telling him to go to a clinic..easier said than done.

I cbb to go back to the OP but lets assume his GF still lives with his parents.. its peak times.

Another scenario is that this guy is trolling, I mean who would really come to a gaming forum and ask questions related to Pregnancy? You may aswell go on Yahoo! Answers..

you're PROBABLY okay. it was only one time, and she took Plan B afterwards. i wouldn't worry about it too much if i were you, but definitely make sure you pay attention to whether she gets her period or not. maybe take a few of those pregnancy tests to make sure.

also, she might want to look into getting on some form of birth control. if she's worried about asking her parents because they will think she is sexually active, i'm pretty sure BC pills do other things like regulate periods and stuff like that, so she could tell them it's not JUST to keep from getting pregnant.

using a condom sucks, i know, but it's better than her getting pregnant!

about a week agolil_zelda_dude

Her "symptoms" are all in her head. Nobody experiences legit signs that quickly.

Ok my two cents she can't be or she was stepping out on you cause it is way too early for her to be showing signs. That said have her take the test, you can pick up a kit at the drug store.

Plan B is pretty darn effective so I wouldn't worry too much. Yes it's scary, but you should really have her take a PT. Beyond that there isn't much you can do.

Use condoms and BC next time because it's less expensive than plan B.

Start bringing it up in conversation how great the pro-choice movement is.

Yea, but it takes like 800,000 of them just to, um... buffer the pathway there...

Wanna get away?

You won't know know for sure until you she takes a pregnancy test a month from when you had the unprotected sex.

When she's due for her NEXT period, have her take the pee-on-a-stick-test.

You won't get accurate results for a couple weeks, one way or the other.

I realize its quite stupid to bring this to the damn Gamespot forums, but thanks for all the feedback,and her period wasn't supposed to occur until the 18th if that means anything. Can we do a pregnancy test this early on? No matter I'm going to get one and see how it goes thanks to most of you for having the patience, I was expecting alot of trolling :)lil_zelda_dude
