Hi everyone, . I'd just like to tell everyone who is too scared to take a test, just take the test, if your more than 5+ days with a regular period. i'd more than encourage you to go take a test, also, even if your a couple days missed with a regular or irregular, just for a peace of mind i'd encourage you to spend the extra money on a test, or go to your family dr and tell him you are late, and would like to get a test done with the lab for either urine or blood. & for you who are not wanting to have a child, can i please just say DONT HAVE SEX. or at least be smart of it! Not trying to be rude. but Baby's come from 2 people male and female, who have UNPROTECTED sex, Dont get me wrong, Babies are a HUGE blessing, but they shouldn't be a burden, at least wait till your married and with someone who you LOVE before you have sex. And if you are on BC, and miss a pill here or there, even if you dont get in the routine of taking them at the SAME TIME you can get pregnant... so if you think you messed up, skipped a pill or even took it a couple hours later, as a precaution if you arent TTC i'd suggest a back up BC, condom,etc. I know how it is, going that month or couple days after missed period, to be curious about if your pregnant or not. Just BE SAFE with your sex. IF you arent ready for a baby just take the precautions! & To all you out there who are TTC, dont give up! They are TOTALLY worth the wait!!! Good Luck Everyone!
