Might I be Pregnant?
Alright, so I've posted before, thinking I might have been pregnant. I wasn't. Now, this month, I am waiting to see if I am. My period starts on the 29th, it's the 18th, and I ovulated on the 13th, and I had unprotected sex where my boyfriend ejaculated inside on the 11th - two days before ovulation, obviously. I did some reading, and it's been called to my attention that you're more likely to become pregnant if you don't wait until the exact day you ovulate, but a few days beforehand, because sperm can live for 5-7 days in the woman's body. I've had a few pinching cramps, but that would probably be ovulation. I've had no symptoms so far, but my breasts seem much bigger. I know that there's a chance I could be pregnant, but I've been having unprotected sex for about 2 years now, and I haven't gotten pregnant once. Do you think I am? I am waiting until my missed period to test, which is pretty far away to me, but I've freaked out before many different 2 week waits thinking I was pregnant, and found I wasn't. Of course, I have the dreams and fantasies of me having conceived, but I want to know what you think. It's early for symptoms, so if I am, that might be why I'm not getting them. Do you think I've got a baby on board? (:

I'm 16. (: Not that it makes it any better, ha, I was just clarifying. Sorry, I tend to do that. And thank you, and Clysta, too. I never thought about it like that, with the going to the toy store and adding up the prices. I'm sorry you don't get to sleep. :/ But at least you're keeping your kids well-raised by sacrificing your rest. I have a suggestion, if it will help your financial situation with the pull-ups and diapers (my mom had no money when I was born, so she did this with me, and I believe my brothers): use a cloth diaper and wash it. I know, it sounds primative, but I'm just fine. (: Can't even remember it, so either it was the age, or it wasn't that bad. Thank you for letting me know this, I'll think of it whenever I feel that need. Much love! And best wishes and health to you and your munchkins. (:
It's normal that you might. But the health and life of the child should be the only concern you have. You'll have kids one day when the time is right. You're still young and have a lot of time for children once you have your own life figured out. (I have absolutely NO room to talk because I'm 20 and pregnant but I digress)
Well, I'm not trying to conceive, but I still kind of hope each time. I know I shouldn't. I'm a sophomore in high school, at the moment. So my hopes of being pregnant are very, very immature and wrong. It wouldn't be fair to the child. I try not to feel excitement, and I know I should use contreceptives . . . I have no excuse. I just try not to feel the need for a child, but I feel it. :/

also think of the sleeplessness. moms don't sleep. we nap. i can't remember the last time i slept longer than 4 hours at a time. we also don't go out (well hardly do.) i can count on one hand how many time i've been out of the house without the kids. which means no weekends out with your friends.
so when the urge comes along...just remember all the things that you have to give up as a mother.
