don't want to be pregnant

I was on the birth control pill for many years. I decided to go off of it one month ago.
I had protected sex on day 20.  I had unprotected sex on day 21, took the morning after pill on day 22.  stupidly had unprotected sex again on day 26.
my period is a week late (according to the monthly schedule I have been on over all these years.
My boyfriend did not ejaculate inside, he pulled out. does this help anything?

They say when you go off the pill you can ovulate at any time, one week, three weeks, no one knows for sure.

can I be pregnant?
I can't see a future with my boyfriend, so I am scared and do not want to be pregnant right now.

Yea it is old but I just have to wonder why people are actually saying that the pulling out method actually reduces your chance of getting pregnant.  Guess what?  It doesn't!  Not at all!

even tho this post is madd old, ill answer this for you as best i can.

if your not wanting to get pg then you shouldnt be using a calendar and you should be using some form of birth control, either a condom or pills or someother form.  if youve missed your periods for a month, you should take a test, if your are pg it should show up. good luck

hi guys, I've never been on BC pills, I've always used my ovulaion calender whenever I had sex. I had unprotected sex on day 10 of my cycle and well sometime before that and naturally i didn't expect to get pregnant.........but i've missed my period for a month now and I'm scared stiff. What do you think?

the mind can do many things, if your so scared that your pregnant your mind will make your body think it is. so maybe if you try and stop thinking about it your period will come.

I cant really be positive on if you're pregnant or not. It's something that you're going to have to ask your doctor. If you have all negative tests, then you may not be. Skipped periods, or late periods can be caused by stress, or any number of sudden changes in your body.
I got pregnant very easily..... I left my bf, and came back, and we were talking about how things were going to get better, and we love eachother, and we want to have a family, this n that... So we started tryig. A few weeks later, I took a test, and 2 blue lines. HONEY IM PREGNANT! (ITS NOT MINE!!!!!) so.. yeah. Thats how I got pregnant. Romantic isnt it?

Have you gone to the doctors since you first posted? How many tests have you taken total?

I'm happy to know that my advice did some good. You really made me feel alot better with your response. Thank you.
I'm glad you posted back, I was wondering about you, and your situation. It's such a releaf that your test turned out negative, and I hope that you're never put in that situation again. Stay on birth control, it can be a woman's best friend.
Take care of yourself.

four hpt's later, still negative, and this includes FMU and holding it for several hours and using a cup. zero symptoms, not even pms.
I am hoping and praying this late period is because I went off the bcp.

I thought jenni gave good advice. you are right are about mr. wrong. your situation does not make your advice less credible. I think your comment took a few days to sink in, but the more I thought about it, the more scared I got. How could I ever have a child with this guy, I don't even see a future with him. He comes from a very religious/strict family and he is a man of very few words. That is why we broke up, because he can't open up and it's maddening. I broke up with him many months ago, but we are still friends, and every once in awhile give in to temptation.
The last time it happened, I was out at the bar with my girlfriends, he knew where I was, showed up, took me home. And you know the rest of the story.
A stupid drunken one night stand that I could have lived without.
I have taken 3 prego tests, all negative. Going to do another today  period is about a week late.
if this helps, I also lived with an abusive man. I was 22 when I moved in with him (against everyone's wishes) and he verbally abused me for a year and a half before I got the courage to leave. I can relate to what you are saying, you think about leaving all the time. You think about how unhappy you are, and how bad you want to leave. When you do feel good, it is only temporary. It took me six months of telling myself everyday I was gonna leave. I drove by apartments, and looked and daydreamed about a life by myself.
The day I decided to go, I called my mom, she found an apartment for me. We moved all my stuff out while he was at work, and I broke it to him over the phone. I didnt know how he would react, I was very scared of him, and never had the 'guts' to do it to his face. IT was the only way I could get out. but I did, and I've never regretted it.
maybe you can relate. but I have no idea what you are going through because you are carrying this man's child. only you can decide what is right for you.

Sorry but I do NOT feel jluhart is being a ***** - We are just getting tired of you asking for advice and NOT taking it that's all.   You have lost LOTS of credibility with your posts.  It does seem weird that YOU can give out any advice but cannot listen to anyone yourself.

Your words aren't pointless, heck, they're the same words we were giving you over and over.  It's your credibility that's been shot.  You can't just be a broken record, saying it over and over, you have to live it.  I still don't understand the whole reason you're not leaving, and frankly it doesn't matter what the reasons are, but it's time to do something about it.  (I don't have to tell you that, you already know it)  Wishing you the best

I get what you're saying. I know its hyprocritical, because I dont take my own advice. It's not that easy.
But if I can give it, because I've been there, and I know what true unhappiness is, then I will say something.
People dont always take their own advice, but it's good to give to someone else. Just because I'm not happy, dosnt mean that my advice toward something has to be stripped away. It dosn't mean that my words are pointless.

Yeah, I'm the one who said to leave while you can still walk, not waddle.  I was very surprised as to your post.  It seems you have listened to our advice and some of it has sunk in.  It is kind of hypocritical to give advice to someone when you're in a situation where you won't even follow that same advice, don't you think..?  I'm afraid, now that most people know your story, any kind of advice you give on this forum is going to be questioned like it was here because they know you're not following your own advice.  Just remember, actions speak louder than words.  If you're not going to follow your words, what makes anyone want to take your advice?  Not saying to not post anymore, but I'd be more selective on what type of questions you answer.

kjsk,
I'm sorry that I was mean. I thought about it all day and I'm real sorry.
I would never want someone to go through what I do. It's a bad place, and I wouldnt wish it on anyone. If I could, I would change back time and leave when I saw the signs, but that will never happen. It's easier to give advice, because I've been there, I'm going through it, and if I can help give advice to someone, then I will. 'If you have doubts, leave before you're in too deep'. But for me, I second guess and question myself. I gave him the benefit of the doubt from the start.
Someday I'll leave, as it is, every day I look in the mirror and ask myself who am I? This is not the life I've always wanted to live. This isnt the man of my dreams... I'm kidding myself. I kid myself from the beginning.
Now I am going to have a beautiful baby, and I know, that the homelife during pregnancy affects the child's personality. My baby WONT grow up disconnected, jumpy, weird, emotional, or what have you... Never ever ever. And that thought ALONE makes me want to pack my bags, and call my mom and dad, and leave. But do I? no... Do I want to? yes... Am I scared? ofcourse... Will I ever? I'm not sure. Probably.  I feel very closed. I feel like his nasty vodka and cigarette smelling body is closing in and suffocating me. When I break through, and say "I CAN! I WONT TAKE YOUR **** ANYMORE!" then I'll go. I need to get there first. I dont want to be the elephant anymore. I'm going to be a mother, and I need to get a grip, and take charge of my life and raise my baby in a safe, secure, and happy home.
Thank you for

To neaintn,
I am very sorry about the loss of your Aunt. It's grusome and brutal, and my heart goes out to the children.
I'm not sure how to reply to that.. I can say, "that wont happen to me" "or that only happens to 'other' people" or " my situation is different".... But I cant, because living with an abusive partner is all the same. Every women, who is abused, goes through the same process. Some leave, and some, tragically, end in death. I dont want to be among those women. I forgot who, but someone had said to me on here, to leave while I can still walk, not waddle. And, something about enjoy being pregnant while I can, because staying with him, wont last for long...? Well, I got the point, and I think about it every single day. I think about these women who tried to help, every single day, and I pray for them, and I thank them for trying. I can't complain anymore, because I'm not doing anything about it. I cant put my thoughts into action. Hopefully God will give me the strength.
Thank you very much for your post. I will pray for those children, who may be grown.. and I will pray for you, and the little one you're trying to conceive..

This is my first time posting, but I was reading your post and I just wanted to let you know that my prayers will be with you.  I will pray that you make the right decision.  Just because you have a child with someone doesnot mean you have to stay with that person if they are mean to you.  My Aunt did, she took abuse both physical and verbal for years.  It ended in tragedy.  Her husband carried out his threats, he killed her in front of the children and then killed himself.  Those kids are grown now,but their lives are so messed up.  

I don't believe in divorce or sex before marriage, but the good thing is you have someone who you can always count on when you get yourself in a mess.  His name is Jesus and he will always listen.

Just be careful and don't stay in a situation that can harm you or your baby.  Children are precious.  My husband and have two beautiful boys and have lost five.  We have been trying to conceive again with no luck.  So do all you can to protect that little one.

My prayers are with you
