pregnant?

[RONNIELISA]

hi i come off the pill over a month ago and have had a period. now nearly four weeks later and due another period i have found im getting tender and notted stomachs and really sensitive nipples, we have had sex unprotected but he has always pulled out. am i pregnant or just worrying too much??

[gingerflaps]

wait till a couple of weeks after ur period and if u havnt come on then take a test to c whether ur pregnant or not, and in the mean time try not to think about it beause worry will cause ur periods to be late. xxx

Probably not pregnant this time, but wait a bit longer before taking a test. You say you're worrying too much, yet you've come off the pill? If you don't want children yet - either stay on it or use some other reliable form of contraception. If you want children now, and have the means to support a family - good luck to you.

i have had to come off the pill because i bled very heavily after week one of a new pill. we do use contraception but there have been a few times we haven't. i will leave it a few more days and wait for the period. thanks for your answers

why does everyone seemto think that the users of answerbank can tell them if they are pregnant or not?

even if a man pulls out you can still get pregnant as the lubricant he creates contains sperm.

the symptoms you have can easily be because your period is due.

go to the chemist and buy a couple of pregnancy tests if period is late to see if youre pregnant. Whilst youre there get some condoms to save you asking this again next month if youre not

Hi redcrx - they can't, but sometimes with a first pregnancy or showing symptoms of a pregnancy, some people just want to hear what others think, and to have a little chat. Some people are still quite ignorant when it comes to pregnancy issues, and others'd rather talk to a bunch of strangers than to their partners, families or doctors. What you advised is correct though -wait, get tested and then sort out alternative contraception if the result's negative.

thanks for that, like ice-maiden said, sometimes its nicer to talk to strangers just to have assurance or advice. just because your so perfect and know the answers to everything doesnt mean you can answer my questions, i dont need your very un helpful advice!!

[redcrx]

lol others advised you to take a test, you were also advised to use other precautions. I stated that you could get pregnant by the withdrawal method.

Your question was 'am i pregnant?' I was merely asking how anyone, not just you seems to expect a bunch of strangers to know. Its a question thats asked daily and women never seen to think about taking a test.

at no point did i suggest Im perfect or know everything. If i did i could tell you if youre pregant or not couldnt I?

If you came off the pill and are not using a reliable method of contraception (withdrawal is NOT reliable) you will get pregnant eventually.

Your symptoms sound like pregnancy, but they also sound like a due period. Both are similar. The only way you will know is to take a test..as redcrx has quite rightly said, we don't know!

Well, they say there is one word for couples who solely use the rythym method for contraception....Parents!

Not sure if you are pregnant or not..did you want to be?

There is an amusing story from Italy about a couple who were in the throws of passion in a Fiat Panda, thinking they had got this all sussed. Then out of the blue another car hit them from behind, and the man lost control. He ejaculated and the girl got pregnant. As there were both Roman Catholic they could not get a termination. They later tried to sue the driver of the car that him them. Not sure of the outcome as only heard the first part of this story. Any ABs heard this story before?

I have a more concrete answer to that predicament, I was sterilised over 5 years ago, but not eveyone wants to do that, as they may want children in the future.

if your feeling randy, do something else other than have sex! there are many pills out there the doctor can put you on, the one you were on was probably not suited to you. please please sort something out, you will feel so much more settled, and you and your boyfriend can go at it whenever you want.

[RONNIELISA]

done two tests they were negative, but still aint come on... so im just hoping its a delayed thing because of the pill etc. thanks for all your answers most were helpful advice.
