Is it possible for a 17 year old girl to get pregnant if she has been taking pain meds (narcotics) for the almost 2 years now? Due to the fact that she's been on the pain meds for so long I would think, the meds would create some fertility problems, what do you think? Also she had been wearing a nuvring , but stop wearing it, so her next period only lasted 11/2 day, I think her period was interrupted because of her not using the ring as directed.Can anyone please comment?

Anytime you have unprotected sex you can become preggo. Doesn't matter about the narcotics. Druggies and alcoholics get preggo just like clean, straight women.

She def. could be preggo. Pregnancy tests instructions advise that a woman take a pregnancy test 19 days from the last time she had unprotected sex.

No, narcotics do not cause any fertility problems.....They may cause problems to the developing fetus IF you become pregnant....If you think that you may be, you might want to try to cut back on them as much as you possibly can until you are able to test.

Alright....you have been posting questions thinking you're pregnant for a few weeks now.....Each from different sexual encounters. PROTECT YOURSELF and you wouldn't have to worry about this!!!!!
You said in another post that you haven't had the nuva ring in for weeks.
Do you want to get pregnant? cus it kinda sounds like it.
Get yourself on some kind of birth control and use condoms. Then there will be no need for you to keep posting questions thinking you are pregnant. & believe me, you don't want to be! Not at your age. If you don't even have money to buy a pregnancy test than you're not going to be able to support a baby.
Everytime you have sex, you think you're pregnant. It's like you're anxious to get pregnant. I seriously doubt you're gonna have symptoms if you just had sex 2 days ago.

i didnt say symptoms, i just said my boobs are like mad sore, i mean i kno i cant feel nothin else. and i kno that but its only been 2 guys so it aint like im fuckin around lol. last time was the one friend and i took a test that one was neg. so im not pregnant by him cuz ikno that woulda showed up by nw cuz that was some weeks ago. but now wat i did on  day got me sorta worried cuz with all the other unprotected times ive never had sore breasts 2 days after. and to tell the truth i got mixed feelings about bein pregnant. half of me wants to the other half is scared 2 death. but i guess also cuz there are like 10 girls i kno who are pregnat or have had babies and its startin to set into me. like even one of my bffs is 6 months preg. but ive always had mixed feelings u kno. and i got a promising future, im smart as hell and i do good in schools so i shouldnt want to b preg right? well im soo confused. its like if im pregnant good, ima handle it and still go on ym way, if im not thats ok too i guess. cuz i will b 18 in march so i feel i can handle it,.

this last time was a boyfriend, but we broke up the next day and i told him he aint commin back to me if it dont work out with the other girl....soo yeah but wat was funny was right after it was over he said "if you find out ur pregnant later dont tell my mom okay?" so i think he knew wat he was dooin.  the other posts was about the 1 time with my creep. thats actually it. its only happened 2 but ive posted alot on the time wit my creep. and now recently wat i did on valentines day.

Trust me...you do not want to be pregnant now. Even thought you are almost 18, you are still too young. You should wait until you have your own life together before you bring a child into this world. Children deserve a shot at the best possible life. They deserve to have a chance at growing up in a loving family where the mom and dad are in a relationship and love eachother. Even though alot of times that doesn't happen and single moms still do a wonderful job at raising their kids, don't you at least want to wait until you are with someone who you know you'll be with for awhile and who will be the best possible father for your child???
You need to finish highschool and go on to college before you think about kids. Believe me.....I wish I could of had my sh** together a little more before I got pregnant. I don't know If I'll ever get a chance to go to college now, & if I do it wont be for awhile. I would love to go though #1 because I need a good paying job to support my child an plus I'd like to set a good example for him.
Although I love my unborn son with all my heart, and I wouldn't change the fact that I'm pregnant for anything......I know if I would of waited just a few more years I would of been able to give him a much better life.

Even though your friends are getting pregnant and you might envy them a little bit.....trust me, they arent as happy as they seem.
Don't be in a hurry. You have plenty of time to have kids, and if you wait and do it the right way, you'll be so much happier. Go to college. Get a good job. Move out on your own. && find a GOOD guy who is going to take care of you and your baby, so your child can grow up knowing what a REAL family is suppose to be like. Trust me, those little highschool boys aren't worthy of being your baby's father. I bet all your friends who are having kids now are gonna be living with there parents for a LONG time, and there baby daddy's are probably no good.

wow, i mean hearin that from u really does make me think twice, cuz all these girls who have gotten pregnan whter they were 14 or 17 they all encouraged me and said good luck or watever. and one was my friend! and the fact that u are like a complete stranger to me and ur tellin me to wait.... that really helps alot. i just dont know wat to think right now u kno? i mean its like all the other times didnt do anything and i enver felt like i do right now. like from the day after i had intercourse on valentins day til now ( ikno it aint that long) ive been feeling real weird, like its an unexplainable feeling. like somehings not right ya dig? and then ive been havin sore and tender breasts since the day after. i asked my friend about it who is 6 months right now and she told me how she felt th same way, how from the moment they did it she could feel that she was, she had the same weird feelings and she said she even had symptoms that week. i havent had no symptoms, just sore breasts. and i kno im not comin on my pd and im not on bc. so wat other explanation is there?.....

Well in these situations all you can do is wait.. because you know every pregnant girl has a different story.. but test as soon as you can because if you are you need to see a doctor right away to get the best care for you and your baby.. But i get you about the friends thing.. what i have learned is that no one wants to admit when their scared or "made a mistake" you can say... but then again I dont really know your friends, but trust me a lot of girls get preg. where Im from too and they always told me the same thing your girls are telling you.. but to be real like I told you and like daisy told you, if we woulda waited our babies lives will be tons better... so if your not preg. I would just wait.. who knows what the future will bring you know?

make sure you get tested for STD's when you go for your blood test. and please start respecting yourself, even if you really like a guy it doesn't mean that you should sleep with him, a guy that is truly a decent guy would respect you more for saying you wanted to wait a little while until you have sex.

I hope you really have a change of mind and be more careful if you aren't already pregnant. Forget what your girls say, I'm telling you straight up....being pregnant isn't all it's cracked up to be. First of all, the first 3 months atleast are HELL!!!! I couldn't get out of bed at all. All I did was puke. non stop. All day, Everyday! I barely got any sleep because I woke up every hour to puke. It was stressful. I've lost almost all my friends....people who were so excited and said they'd be here no matter what never come around anymore. Plus your body changes. I mean.....I wasn't quite done being sexy yet, ya know. But who knows what I'm gonna look like after I have my baby.
Don't get me wrong, pregnancy can be a beautiful thing! Once I got over the morning sickness, and I started feeling my baby move....it's incredible. But Don't you want a good guy who loves you to be there throughout the whole thing. Someone who can go with you to all your doctor appointments and put his hand on your belly to feel your baby kick for the first time. That for me is the most beautiful part......having my child's father with me everyday to experiance the pregnancy right along with me. Seeing his eyes get watery when I got my first ultrasound, & him kissing my belly and talking to our son. Trust me, you will want that. Pregnancy can be EXTREMELY lonely. When I first got pregnant my boyfriend didn't seemed too thrilled and wasn't intrested in even talking about the baby. It broke my heart. I just wanted someone to be happy with me.  It finally hit him when he came with me to one of my ultrasounds, and he finally got excited.
I'm just saying......if you are pregnant right now. Then of course, be happy and make the best out of it. But if not.....breath a sigh of relief because it is best for you and your future child that you wait until you both can be given everything you deserve.
Don't let your little friends kid you....they wish they would have waited. It kills them that they can't go to anymore parties or do what there other friends are doing.

first i wanna just say thank you, for telling me the truth fa real. cuz you dont even know how confused i am. i never thuoght i could be swayed but slowly im startin to panic and hope that im not. but wat im scared is is that this may be it! i mean your luck has to run out sometime. and i kept testing it and testing it sayin God loves me 2 much 2 allow me to get pregnant right now.thats wat it looked like to me! i guess a part of me is still gonna keep its fingers cross that im pregnant. well i find out this friday at lifelines. is it too early? i mean i had sex on valentines day and then this comming friday the lady scheduled me pregnancy test appt.( its urine) is it too early to be taking a pregnancy test? i started ovulating on the 17th. and the day after valentines day the lady said the sperm was gona live in my body for a few more days and wen i ovulated thats wen tehyd be fertilized if they werent already by then ( since ovualtin was only a few days away) and ever since tha day i had sex my boobs have been gettin sorer which each day. i kno my mom is takin me to get a blood test this comming weekend, but is whatever result thats comes out gonna be accurate? (the urine test)

Well if you get a positive result...It's probably accurate. It's very unlikely to get a positive pregnancy test unless you are pregnant. And if it comes up negative I would still wait a few weeks and test again. It may be too soon. I found out I was pregnant when I was only 3 weeks along. I had been waking up with really bad headaches every morning for about 2 weeks so I finally took a few home preg. tests and they were all positive.
Until you know FOR SURE......be careful. I would suggest not taking any more pills and quit smoking and stuff if you do. The first few weeks of pregnancy and most crucial to baby's development. So be safe. && If you are pregnant, I hope you act responsibly and do everything you can for this baby. Try to get a part time job, open up a savings account and save what you can. Baby's aren't cheap. Make sure you take care of yourself and make healthy decisions, cus the smallest mistake can harm your baby. And mostly.......FINISH SCHOOL!!!!  It might be hard, but it's the best thing you can do for you and your child. &&& I really hope you have some sort of insurance if you are pregnant....

GOOD LUCK and let us know what happens.

you can go to college. online classes can be really flexible around your schedule. i'm not taking them. (i've already been informed i'm to be a stay at home mom by the df....which i don't care cause that's what i want anyways. lol) but the df is. he's a marine working 5-6 days a week from 5 am till sometimes 5 or 6pm. he does his work for 1-2 hours each night and only has to actually log on 3 days. (but he's very thorough about everything and logs on everynight mon-fri) i know it's not a traditional school but it'd be a way for you to get your degree while taking care of the rugrats. (and you wouldn't have to wait for years to actually go! and it doesn't cost nearly as much as a normal university would)
