do they REALLY consider you already 2 weeks pregnant when you conceive?!???

Thats my major question of the day. Its the for sure question that screws me up. If i was conceived on or around the 10th, then 2 weeks before puts me at the 27th when i started my period. So is my doctor trying to say that i got pregnant on the 27th? I hope not because sperm lives inside for 3 days.. and if thats true, im in ut oohh deep s**t.
the radiologist who did the ultrasounds said this....
I am exactly 5 1/2 weeks. so that sets me back to sept. 1st. yet she said that i was conceived between the 8th and the 10th. i am very small, the baby isnt even the size of a peanut yet.
why would she say im 5 1/2 weeks, but i was conceived 8 to 10 days later? One doctor added 2 weeks, another added just over 1 week after the possible conception.
now, would they be able to know for a sure fact if i got pregnant up to a week before my period? Do any of these dates point at that possability? My major concern is to know for sure who fathered my child. Was it the 9 day fling? or the 10 month relationship that i came back to?
what are the possiblities of miscalculating the pelvic exam, and both ultrasounds?
If i got pregnant for sure without a doubt, after i started my period, then im in the blue zone. If i got pregnant before, im in the red. I know ive asked this question a few times... but i like details. im a paranoid worry wart and i totally stress out about these questions. if you can help, by all means, ask me whatever you need to know.

No, like I said, she can't use the "ignorant" card.  Ignorant people "....don't know".  She's been told over and over what she needs to do.  If she posts again, great.  If not, have a great life, do the right thing, protect your baby, protect yourself, (sounds like a broken record, I know.)  We all want to help, but it's doing no good what so ever.  We even have people on this forum with relatives in her area trying to help her.  We've given website after website, research shelter information, prayer,....WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT!!!  It's just not shocking anymore,...move on.

Let's look at the evidence:  she has been to the doctor in the last week more than i can count, but we have people who can't even get into their doctor when they haven't had a period in months, so how is that possible?  what woman would choose to abort a baby because she doesn't know who the father is but then turn around and have another one with the man who wants her to have the abortion?  what women would sing a man's praises one minute than go on and on about how he beats her, call her names, etc.  one minute she loves the baby and wants to keep it, the next she is aborting it.  she seems to go with whatever responses she gets from us.  

I just don't think it's real.  If it is, I rephrase my original statement; her actions are ignorant.  Although, I still don't think it is.  I shouldn't have to apologize for that.  Before you respond, please remember that I am entitled to my opinion.

I'm going to post one more time on this and then I'm done with this one.  

I don't think she's a troll, but there is a fine line between ignorance and stupidity.  Alot of people think ignorance is a bad word, but all it means is that you don't know.  But when people become informed, they lose that ignorance and are either smart or stupid with their decisions.  And she lost that ignorance when we informed her of her options.  Now, we all know that her DECISION to stay with this man IS stupid.  And if your actions reflect who you are in life, what does that say about you?  She hasn't quite made her mind up about what to do about her baby or her bf, so she still has time to decide.  But time is running short, that man will kill her if the baby doesn't look exactly like him, you heard her, that's what she said.  9 months can fly by, and genetics isn't always kind to have a child come out and look like a replica of his dad (oh I'm sorry, not his dad, his biological sperm donor, it takes sperm to make a baby but it takes a man to be a father).

If this is the decision she wants to make, we don't have to like it, but we will respect it.  Hopefully, if she decides to stay with him, she will give the baby up for adoption.  That would be the smarter alternate decision...I wish only the best, but I'm done worrying and I hope it all turns out best for you.

Jenni, Like Troid said, we don't all share the nasty opinions of you and I don't blame you for lashing out at being called nasty names. I think you get quite enough of that at home. You come here for support and advice and then are met with unsympathetic name calling. I apologize for you having to go thru that. Please don't stop coming here. Just ignore the rude comments.
It's so easy for us to say Jenni, get out of there. Pack your bags and get out. But we really only want to help you. And we know that it's alot easier to sit here and tell you what you should do then to actually find the courage and strength to do it. Especially when James is threatening your entire family. So you have more than just you and the baby to worry about.
I believe that you listen to every word we say and then you worry about letting US down and so you don't say anything about some of our suggestions. This is understandable. WE also read EVERY word you write. And to be honest, I think some of us just want to bring you home and take care of you. We get so frustrated that you are taking all of this abuse and it IS hard to understand why for some. My mother did it. She took it and would have taken it for the rest of her life if the ******* hadn't died first. She was young, had 2 babies and I often wonder why she didn't turn to her family which she had plenty of. She has passed away and so I will never know the answers. She did use to tell me and my brother how lucky we all were that he died. That if he'd lived, we would have never been able to even leave the house. No friendships, no relationships. And this was IF he let us live. If my mother took the trash out, he would beat her for sleeping with the trash collector. He would leave a recorder hidden under the couch to make sure no one came in and no one went out. After he died, my mom became an alcoholic which is what killed her. Her life was a mess and even though she found love again from a wonderful, caring man, she was forever changed. Like most POW's locked away during a war, she suffered severe psychological, and emotional problems.
You are currently living what will one day be your history. The history you will have to deal with and have your children deal with for the rest of your lives. It is up to you to decide how your history will be written. You have more power than you know. More strength that is growing by the day. You have come such a long way in such a short period of time, so don't lose that momentum.
Please don't stop writing or some of us will really worry. There was another girl in a bad situation named Sue a few weeks ago. We all tried so hard to help her and then she just disappeared. We have no idea what ever happened to her and I know that I have sure worried over her. Why? I don't know. These forums are strange. You really grow to know some of the people on here and I have a mental piture of what so many of them look like just from their writing. Sometimes I forget that we aren't all friends living in the same neighborhood. I feel like I have coffee with these ladies almost everyday. I am confined to home most of the time due to a back injury and it is very comforting to come here and feel at home. I want you to feel at home here as well.
I figure you type about 90 miles an hour to get it all out before James comes home or walks in. This is probably why some of your posts are confusing. But the things you say, I just can't think of anyine that could make that stuff up. And who would want to? And even though so many have questioned your honesty, you didn't turn tail and run. You stood up for yourself. Don't stop now!

besides all that ^^^^

well ive come to terms with myself and my situation now that things have cooled down the past few days. Its like a load off when im calm, and life is calm... i dont feel much stress.
its time to think positive. i need to stop the what if's, and's, but's, and what's about everything and see the big picture. My major concerns have been answered a few times over, and i really really appreciate those who have done that.
it really sucks that the first time i get pregnant has to be so questionable.. i wish that i didnt have these problems. maybe it will change the way i see the world, and make better choices.

i feel really embarissed from alot of the things ive said... some of them have been selfish and unorganized. i act on the moment of how i feel, i dont sit back and put things in perspective. ... in a shorter words, im irrational and paranoid.  

i think im going to take a break from the forums...

im not some little girl crying wolf, what i say is the absolute truth. and for you to point me out as being stupid and make believe is just wrong. how would you feel if you were in a really tough situation, and people thought you were faking it? it'd hurt wouldnt it? i am probably half of most of these womens ages, and im confused about life and experience. i have so many questions about whats yet to come.  
i may be ignorant about some things, but stupid? that comment is totally uncalled for.
excuse me for living, but stop the world and i'll get off......

Doctors consider the day your started your last period as the first day of your pregnancy should you conceive.  Actual conception takes place about 2 weeks later after ovulation.

okay so i just got back from the doctor. i again, asked her the same series of questions, and i got the same answers. they count 40 weeks from my last menstural, so im due june 3rd. so they dont count from when i was conceived. and the ultrasound is more than likely positive in seeing how big i am. i am 5 weeks 5 days today. and that is the exact pregnancy. but i was conceived on the 10th, she explained why they consider already being pregnant 2 weeks.. but i forgot.

a few health issues i wonder... this morning when i went to the restroom, when i wiped it was pink. is that normal? i forgot to ask her... and another thing... ive lost 2 lbs but ive been eating pretty good.. lots of protein. i dont get it.
i just want to run away. he hit me again today in the car coming back. the doctors took 2 hours, and he took an hour lunch. so he fliped out, yelled at me, called me bad names, smacked me upside the head, punched me in the arm, and when i tried getting out of the car, he yanked my hair and child locked the doors. he talks about that when i give birth if the kid dosnt look like him he'll rush home and throw all my clothes and things in the garbage. and if it is his, and i leave him, he will fight me to the bone to get custody. So before i leave, i will MAKE SURE i will send him to jail for domestic abuse, and being pregnant, oh boy he has ALOT to worry about. im to the point where im absolutely fed up. I have an appointment on wednesday at planned parenthood to get an abortion. (i made the appointment last tuesday).. and in the car he was scaring the **** outa me into saying that i will get it done. when hes mad he talks like this.. "just kill it! kill it kill it!" " i dont care!" " just get it sucked out!" " if you dont get it done,i'll kill that baby myself, i'll kick you in the stomache when your sleeping" i hate hearing those words, but they are scard in my mind. he will never let go of the fact that i left him and had a fling with someone else. reguardless that he drove me away. and he will never let go of the fact that im pregnant, even if i do get an abortion and try again, he will always remimber the possibility of having another mans baby inside me.
ive been thinking today, that im probably going to have this baby reguardless of whos it is. but if its his, and i send the baby over for his visitation, id be scared to death of what hed do. hes always told me that he wants to kill shawnna (his babies mom) and he said, "while im at it, i'll go find you and kill your kid you, and your family, i'll find you." i just wanna smack him, and call his bluff, i dare you. come near me and my kid and see what i'll do. dont test me.

i have to be really honest about this... i really do want it to be james' baby because of the genetics. we are both very tall, im slender, he 'used' to be.. i have green eyes, he has blue, both fair skinned, both were born toeheads. i want a blonde hair blue eyed baby, and i want it to look like me.
the other guy isnt that tall, dark hair, dark eyes, dark skin, and a lil chubby. I dont have any feelings towards him what-so-ever. and im terrified of having his baby and me not even looking like the mother.

so thats a big thing to me. and when i give birth, i'll know that day whos it is. i cant imagine myself having that guys baby, it would seriousely break my own heart. single mom, with a baby that looks nothing like her...  but would i get over it? sure id find someone else down the road to be very happy with and get married and have those blonde babies, but would i love our children more than my child? it sounds very selfish, but ive had my heart set on a blonde hair blue eyed baby since i was a little girl playing with my dolls.
i had a friend in jr. high... her mom was with a darker fella, got pregnant.. he wasnt very nice to her, and she took the baby and left. Well, and the years went on, her mom still loved her, but when she met another man, kristen was 2, and he took her in as his own. well as a few years passed she became pregnant,(with her blond hair blue eyed babies) and showed that child more love than kristen.. kristen grew up being very lonely and confused... then in high school, her mom got pregnant again, and she paid more attention to her new children from her husband than kristen. kristen ended up finding love from other men and got pregnant at 15... had 2 miscarrages and her mom just blew her off. she ended up moving in with her that boyfriend at 16, now shes somewhere in washington.
We never know what the future holds, or how we think and feel in the later years... and im scared that that story could end up being my child. because once a child dosnt feel loved, they rebel, and it only gets worse. her mom gave up when it got too hard. I have that tendency, and im definately scared of that happening.

I'm speechless.....absolutely speechless.......I have no idea what to say to you to make you realize that this man is not good for you or your baby......I am happy for you that you've decided to keep it, but what's the point in keeping it if you're going to keep him too?  He is going to kill you...it's just that obvious he WILL kill you and I don't know if you saw the website I posted to you or not but I wish you would visit it.  We all are worried for you and your child, but ultimately, if you stay with him, it's not because we didn't warn you of how bad it will be.  He will never forgive you for leaving him temporarily for someone else, and he will hold it against you forever threatening you and your baby.  He cannot get visitation to the baby if he physically abuses you, flat out!  If you have been hurt with bruises and such, report it to the police so they have record and when you eventually leave him, the court will not grant visitation rights.  Sounds like he doesn't want anything to do with the baby anyway, GOOD.  Get out now, while you can still run and not waddle!

you know almost all babies look the same when they are born. dark people can have light skinned babies,light people can have dark skinned babies. you wont be able to tell the "moment" you give birth.i myself am very fair skinned blonde hair blue eyes. my husband is a foot taller than me, very dark hair blue eyes,and a little darker than me. my first son was born with bleach blonde hair and my second son was born with brown hair.would just do us all a favor and leave the loser before he kills you!!!!!!!!!!!evryday it's been the same thing. just get it over with, unless you like to get beaten daily, like someone said earlier, get out on your own free will, or a coroner will be doing it for you!!

You are a piece of work.  

You are in a terrible dead-end relationship (possibly literally) and here are you are babbling about desiring a baby that only has blonde hair and blue eyes, just when you used to play with dolls.

Are you for real?!?!

Have you not understood one single word that any of these women have said?!?!?!?!

By the way - all babies are born with the same gray colored eyes.  They don't get their true pigment until a few months of age.  Also, my blonde haired friend was born with a full head of jet black hair.  If you are worried about pure cosmetics of this baby you have a lot of growing up to do.  

I don't know if anyone else has said it, but have you considered adoption??  Based on your apparent lack of maturity and your boyfriends lack of everything, that would probably be the very best thing you could do for your baby.

FYI, I was born with pitch black hair, now my hair is bleach blonde like my mom.  Just because you're born looking a certain way doesn't mean it will stay that way.  You want blonde haired blue eyed babies?  Genetics doesn't always gurantee that, you could marry someone looking just like you and get something completely different, doesn't mean it's not yours and doesn't mean you would love it any less.  There are plenty of other guys out there with blond hair and blue eyes that will produce beautiful babies with you and not beat you upside the head because they were a couple of minutes late back to work!!!  Get out now!

Jenn,
I think we've all said about all there is to say.  I certainly won't respond any longer, b/c if you ARE for real, you are avoiding reality by "venting" on this forum.  Better not to vent, face the reality that WILL come, and get help sooner.

If you aren't for real, you are stirring up people for your own reasons, and I won't be a part of it.

So--get help, or live with your choice.  Period.  Have a good life.

I was born with pitch black hair and blue/grey eyes. My eyes are now green, and I have medium brown hair. My brother was also born with pitch black hair and grey eyes. He now has even lighter hair than I do (light brown) and brown eyes. Also when I was about 2-3 years old my hair had lightened to light brown with blonde curls on the end. Only when I got into high school and after did my hair darken back up. There really is NO way to tell just by looking at hair color/eye color to determine. Is it REALLY that important??? If you want to run away, I know people out there who more than likely WILL help you, suport you etc.... PLEASE let go of your pride *Pride comes before a fall and can break someone down from iron*, and if you are serious about getting away, let me know!!! God bless!

I'm going to have to start to agree with Christie, I think you might be doing this for the shock value.  I used to have a friend that all she would do is brag about shocking events, like threesomes without protection or drug binges, just to get you riled up.  You know what you're supposed to do, that's it.  This forum is for women who don't know what to do and need advice.  Sometimes, they need to vent in frustration of trying to do the right thing, and it isn't working, but that's not what you're doing.  You are making everyone upset and worried for you life when you should be doing the same.  Either do the right thing, (and if you do leave him, please don't hesitate to post and tell us you did, we will be so happy for you!), or don't and live with this man who will most certainly end you and your baby's life.  I wish you nothing but the best of luck and I pray angels watch over you.

i knew that reply was about to happen sooner than later. i know ive been venting for more than a few days and its all about the same things, the boyfriend and the baby. everyday something new happens and throws my mindset outa place.
I know my writings are getting redundant, and everyone says the same thing over and over, that i need to get out while i still can. while i have the strength and the physical ability to. its alot harder than that, but i know what needs to be done. everyone reaches a fork in the road, each route has a different way of life. im scared of both ways. i wish i can stay stairing at the fork! :-( but its very close. im deciding to keep the baby, and whatever happens, happens. God will lead me in the path thats best. He comes through when i most need him in my life. He dosnt give his children anything in life that they cant handle. everything happens for a reason.
