Hello everyone. My name is Ashlie. I'm 18 years old and about to start college. I've been with my boyfriend for four years. We've always been very responsible when it comes to sex and have never had a real pregnancy scare.
I've been on birth control, but a few weeks back I missed about 4 pills. My boyfriend always pulls out. However, since I did miss the pills, and pulling out by itself isn't very reliable, there is about a 20% chance that I could have gotten pregnant.
Well, a week or so ago my nipples started hurting. It seemed too early for it to be PMS, and I rarely get sore nipples before my period. I squeezed one of them just to see if anything would come out. A small amount of clearish white fluid came out of my right breast. It confused and scared the heck out of me to say the least.
I took a pregnancy test last Tuesday and Wednesday but that would obviously have been too early since I still haven't gotten my period. I got nervous and took another one yesterday, but it wasn't in the morning like you're supposed to. My period is now about 2 days late. Usually sex will trigger my period even a few days early, and still nothing despite our attempts.
I've started feeling really nauseated, and I have cramps but they feel different. They feel a bit more high up than a normal menstrual cramp. I've been gassy and extremely sleepy. I've also been going to the bathroom a lot more than usual. I don't know if I'm imagining all these things. If I was pregnant, I'd only be about 4 weeks along.
People have said I might be stressing--but I really don't have much reason to stress. More than anything in the world I want a baby--and although this wouldn't have been a planned pregnancy--I'd welcome it with open arms. My boyfriend has been surprisingly, amazingly supportive. I always assumed that if I did get pregnant he'd at least want me to consider abortion, but he hasn't even tried. He is being stronger than I am and telling me that everything will be okay, etc. He doesn't want a baby right now, but he couldn't bare to kill his own child. I am 100% pro-life so abortion has always been out of the question.
Our parents would ofcourse be a bit angry, but I know that in the end they'd be supportive.
Is it possible that I could be pregnant despite the negative result yesterday? Like I said, I didn't test with my morning pee. My boss said that she got 3 negative test results with her current pregnancy. It also seems like the negative result is coming way too quickly--within like 5-10 seconds.
If I'm not pregnant, this would be a really sick joke.
