I agree with you about taking the UA or PT in the morning. That is the best time and when urin is most concentrated. That's what I was told to do and then come back the next day. I went in on a Monday, brought my urine in on Tuesday, and Wednesday I found out I was pregnant. I prayed I wasn't but knew I was. I didn't need a UA to tell me I was.
Good advice about talking to a woman even on a hotline. I had tons of info and support brochures. Believe me I needed all the help I could get and I went after it and it also miraculously came to me, too. God was helping me.
I also thought about adoption. The father was very selfish and demanding and said he would not let that happen. Nonetheless I have sacrificed myself and became the parent. I did it relunctantly so it took me some time to love my daughter emotionally, not just physically. I had a close physical connection, but I put my emotions aside so I could figure out if adoption was for me.
Abortion will haunt a woman and she will feel guilty someday if not that day that it is performed. Thank you for speaking so strongly and so well. You have given great advice for this young woman and I appreciate it very much. I am 22, also, but got pregnant at 20 and had my baby at 21. What are the circumstances surrounding your pregnancy? I was unmarried and now a single parent. I was on my way to a highly successful life and that is why I seriously thought about adoption. I couldn't provide and I thougth her father wasn't good enough to take care of her and his family was not the greatest of caliber. Anyway, thank you.
