It's another...

"I think I might be pregnant" thread

And yes, I think I might be pregnant and it is the most awful feeling in the world. I may have to kill myself or never have sex again EVER!

 

ABORT ABORT!!!



this should be a poll thread

 

lol, sorry but the poll idea made me laugh
I'll get negative feedback for this, but I would abort it since both I and the potential father would want that. But I would probably feel awful about it for years.

But hopefully my hormones are just really fucked up instead.

 

Nah, you're probably pregnant

And you should have the baby, and then in 10 years you should show him/her this thread. That'd be awesome.

 

Tell the world you are a virgin and you had a dream about an old guy in a white robe a couple weeks before you found out you were preggers

 

Well firstly you should find out if you are actually pregnant, then do whatever seems right - doesn't matter what others say or whether they give negative feedback, it isn't them in your position is it?

 

1. Get tested and find out for sure.

 

OK, so it turns out I am not pregnant... my fear made me overreact too quickly. But I totally felt like something was wrong. I probably still need to figure out what is wrong with my hormones because they are completely insane apparently. But I'll try not to jump to conclusions next time my cycle has a nervous breakdown.

I do worry about pregnancy all the time though since I just use the family planning method which I know is not as effective. I guess the worry is just one of those things I have to live with.

 

Congrats that youre not pregnant lol

but have you missed any periods? cause I would take another test later on

that happened to me, told me i wasnt pregnant, started to feel even worse, took another one then surprise surprise

 

That's one less worry with the ladies

 

hehe

I actually just started my period... I guess I was freaking out because I've never once been late on a period before and I had every other sign of being pregnant. I'm so used to being on schedule that it really caught me off guard.

Oh man, I am so relieved that I feel giddy

 

wow!! just wow!

 

i am the sole adoption voter

 

Not anymore

 

Yeah, despite the possible guilt I still would have chosen abortion. I just couldn't go through 9 months of constant emotional turmoil and constant puking and then hand my baby to someone else. That is selfish, but that is how I feel.

 

Not to mention that my boyfriend would be strongly in favor of an abortion and since most people around here seem to think the father should get to decide... I should probably take that into consideration.

 

I added my vote.

If you really needed the results of an internet poll to make that decision, adoption would probably have been a wise choice. (At least it has the least potential for guilt.)

 

I only made it a poll because my buddy suggested that I make it a poll... and I would feel way more guilty about giving up a baby than aborting something that I don't consider really alive yet. As someone told me, people don't have funerals for miscarriages nor do they celebrate their birthday as the day that they are conceived. Excellent advice that helped put things in perspective.

In all honesty though (since I am drunk) I might like to have a baby, but my boyfriend is so adamantly opposed to it right now that I would never force him to be a father.

 

After reading your last post, I'd be inclined to ask do you do everything your friends tell you to do?
It's a bit messed up to post a poll about whether or not you're going to have to have an abortion, to ask total strangers opinions on the topic.

No people don't have funerals for miscarriages nor celebrate their birthday on the day they were conceived. But I've known quite a few women who have had miscarriages, and every year around the time the miscarriage happened, they are bereft with grief because of the loss. Same with quite a few women who have had abortions. That is not something that can be forgotten, and it does haunt some women every year of the anniversary of the abortion.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not pro-life and anti-abortion. But these things should be taken seriously, and not left to an internet poll on some forum.

Oh, and if your boyfriend is adamently opposed to having a baby, then use protection! Or, stop fucking.

 

some people do have ceremonies after miscarriages.. it helps with coping
