I might be expecting...

[dorktv]

Should I be worried since I am unmarried and the guy lives in Michigan?

1. Don't get yourself too worked up until you know for sure.

(I know, easier said than done). The important thing is the world won't end and it'll be okay if you are.

[dorktv]

6. He is way more worried about it then I am actually.

But the test was blank so I am still not sure!

[tjdee]

2. Don't worry 'till you have cause to--oh, LOL, same thing happened to me.

In my case, we were in different countries. (I can say LOL *now*--it's been six years!)

Also...what are you going to do if you are?

That's probably the first thing you should think of...

3. Who is that pretty guy in your sig line?

[tjdee]

11. Oh my sweet jeebus, LOL, that's Shah Rukh Khan!

He's a Bollywood actor...and in terms of recognition, the biggest movie star in the world (if you count, you know...everywhere but the USA)....

He's like a mix of Cary Grant, Yul Brynner, and Charlie Chaplin.

I could go on, but then I'd be a huge dork, and you'd be sorry you asked!

:hi:

[1monster]

18. Well, all I've got to say is

Yum! :D

[tjdee]

19. Ah...yes.

You have good taste!
:)

8. I already know I will have the baby and keep it.

I am not sure how involved the dad will be able to be in the kid's life because he is having some problems right now but I could never abort or give it up for adoption.

[tjdee]

13. Good luck....

If you ever want to pm/talk/whatever, let me know... I had the same exact thing happen, like I said. My kiddo just turned six.

One thing--don't make things harder than they are. If he wants to be involved, he will be--whether he's where you are, or not. If he's a jerk about it (like my ex), that's fine too. Take it as it comes and try not to worry in advance.

[dorktv]

15. He is scared but determined to be in the child's life.

I have told him that I am not expecting him to be there all the time but that I would like him to be there. He has finally accepted my insisting on NOT getting married over this. He wanted to right away but I put my foot down and said no way am I going to get married just because I am pregnant (if I am). A child deserves two parents who want to be together for reasons other then the child. That way there is no hidden resentment of anyone. You know that "if it was not for that stupid woman getting..." type of thing.

[tjdee]

20. Good!

Sounds like you are getting off to a good, level-headed start.
You're going to be just fine. Don't forget to let us know if you are or not!

[dorktv]

21. I will...and the funny thing is...my birthday is Monday!

[Pirate Smile]

4. How late are you? You can take the tests pretty quickly.

"you can begin testing accurately as early as six to eight days after conception - well before your first missed period! "

5. I have taken a test...the thing was all pink but no lines.

it was actually pretty weird.

But I am about a week late and I feel the same way I did with the last one physically...emotionally though...I am pretty okay with it. Just concerned about the dad being so far way.

[Pirate Smile]

7. What do those results mean? Hmmm. With baby #3 I took 5

pregnancy tests before I believed it. It was a bit of a surprise - happy surprise but not expected.

Best of luck.

[dorktv]

9. Means I have to get another pregancy test and my boyfriend

is going to be panicing all night long. I told him I have to take it in the morning this time.

[Pirate Smile]

12. Buy the one that has two tests in it so you can double check.

[Left Is Write]

16. Best of luck to you -

Whatever the results, I hope things go well for you.

[BamaGirl]

10. I agree

I was almost 16 weeks with my first before I tested pos, and just refused to believe it with my 3rd lol.

Good luck!

[Left Is Write]

14. It probably means...

the test is old or oversaturated.

[bicentennial_baby]

17. Just get a blood test

Planned Parenthood can do it in like 10 minutes...

[dorktv]

22. Yes, but I need to find a PP. They had to close the one nearest to me.

[MI Cherie]

23. Some "pro-life" places also test for free

You might have to listen to their propaganda, but they should be glad you want to have and keep the baby. They might even give you some resources for help if you have the need.

Good luck!

[tjdee]

25. After I decided to keep my kid, the pro-lifers sent me stuff...

I don't know how they got my name, but they sent me a little plastic fetus (like, "this is your baby at 8 weeks" or whatever) and a little baby outfit--among other things.

Even though I was keeping my kid I was furious. I mean, sending a friggin baby outfit? That seemed very wrong somehow.

Of course, they didn't wait nine months and send me any diapers/money, though. :eyes:

[dorktv]

26. Yeah no antichoicers are going to be let near my kid.

24. Got a basal body thermometer?

Because if you take your temperature at first waking, that means no getting up, no going to the loo, no drinking water, and the temperature is at 98 or slightly higher, that is an indication you could be pg. When your temperature drops a bit, you can relax, your cycle is on its way!

I had to do basals when I was trying to make baby 40'under and it was a reliable measure for me.

[dorktv]

27. What are those?
