Contraception and pregnancy
Hi my name is vicky, im 23 and i want to have a baby with my bf so i stopped taking my pill 2 weeks ago. i have been told that after stopping the pill for a week that ur supposed to have a bleed meaning it is out of ur system but its been nearly 2 weeks and no sign. i did however stop the pill after having a seven day break in which i had a bleed but as this is not a true period i am not sure if it counts as one. i have been having severe stomach cramps last nite being the worst nite and today i woke up with bad pains in my lower back. i did however miss my pills for 2 months up untill 5 weeks ago in which time me and my bf had unprotected sex. i am alos experiencing nausea i havent however actually vomited as of yet although i have come very close to it. im thinking i shud wait till the end of next week and take a hpt wat is ur opinion is this. please help
LOL---I'm 34 and still get money from my dad because he wants to give it to me!!!
By age 19 they can fend for themselves????
I have tears in my eyes from laughing. I'll have to ask my kids for their college tuition back, then! And the monetary help I gave for their cars. And food money. And clothes. And rent help.
Healthcare isn't the only $$ issue involved in raising children! People only think of the cute little baby. They don't think about everything else that goes along with raising a child.
My opinions are only mine, and I'm not trying to diss the original poster. I just had to laugh at the age 19 cutoff.

yes! all very true and i certainly didnt mean to rain on everyones parade with well wishes and baby dust.
i just dont think young girls realize the time, money and energy it takes to have a baby. when someone is boyfriend and girlfriend and want a baby, that is a recipe for disaster.
it usually ends up the guy splits (because he can) and mom is left to raise the baby alone fighting for child support. at that age, getting money is like getting blood from a stone. if marriage came first, the couple may try a bit harder to stay together. works both ways too but lets face it, its usually the guy who goes when the goin' gets tough.
my husband has a great job making good money. we live in a nice house and have nice cars. we STILL struggle financially with our girl. in addition, we dont have time for each other. he walks in the door from work, i walk out to go to work. thats the way it goes.
thats the side the young girls dont see or have the maturity to see. that is not a dig on the poster, but just the way it is the majority of times.
sorry poster for throwing this out there. i wont post again because you did not ask anything of the sort. i threw in my opinion because honestly, i am frustrated with the number of teens/young adults who are trying to have a baby with their "BF"
and yes...make sure you have some kick a$$ insurance.

I'm not very conservative, but it does surprise me how many posts we get on this forum about "me 'n my boyfriend think we want a baby." (If they aren't committed enough to each other to get married, what makes them think they can stick through the tough road of raising a child?) That all said, the people who write these posts don't care about that opinion, or the woman sometimes doesn't even care if the guy sticks around or not, so what I then ask about is the financial backing, especially medical. Having babies and raising them even for the first few years can cost many, many thousands of dollars even when everything goes right, and doing it without insurance (and a really solid income that is not going to go away) is really poor planning. I feel for a child raised in a household that has to struggle for every dollar. Money isn't everything, but health-care costs can really mount up fast, and big debt colors everything about life for the whole family. The baby isn't going to be a little bed cabbage for long, and it will need care, and things, and clothes, and lots and lots of time. Who will give it if Dad is only marginally in the picture and Mom is working? My apologies to the original poster, this was intended as a general picture to oceans, not an indictment of you and your plans.

I was just going to add, if you are not pregnant this time, please make sure your health insurance is totally in order before you get pregnant. Some insurance is not possible to get if you are pregnant, so if you have poor insurance or none, it will really matter to have it first. Good luck.

Amen to that oceans. And vicky, my apologies for going into this topic on your post. May it all work out beautifully for you!
Well, if you're having signs of pregnancy that means the baby has implanted into your ueterus and is putting off the HCG hormone to make you feel this way, and the hormone is whats detected on a pregnancy test, so if you're feeling this way it should show. If not wait one week and test again. Did you not test before you started taking the pill again or did you start on the day you started your period? I wouldn't think you would be pregnant from those 2 months, since you start the pill the day you start your period. Anyhow, yes I would say test now, you can pretty much rely on what this test would say, but test again in a week just to be sure. Good luck to you, and hope you get your baby soon!!
well just to make a point i live in england therefore healthcare dose not cost me nething until the child is 19 by which time they can fend for themselves i know i did it. but ocean we intend to be with each other for a long time
Well I hope everything is ok if you are in fact pregnant and were taking the pill. I would take a test and maybe call the Dr. for a blood test! good luck!
thanx jgirl just to clear something up i didnt actually start taking my pill again on the day of my period so is it still possible that i cud be pregnant
