Gf might be preggers

Thought since some ppl are tired of reading about this in the random chat (Mike ;) ) I'd make a thread about it.

So as the title states, there is a possibility my gf is pregnant. She is now a week and a few days late on a visit from aunt flow. She has taken one test that came back negative. And we are waiting a couple more days before she takes another one. I'm going to use this thread for updates on whether she is or isn't. And if she is to follow what I'm sure is bound to be an interesting adventure.

Well when you're not using any protection, isn't it kinda considered planned?

Is it? Idk we have spotting so maybe aunt flow is coming after all

Spotting doesn't necessarily mean aunt flow is coming. Spotting is also a sign of pregnancy.

spotting is also a sign that the lining is "getting ready" with the fertilized egg in place. Not to be mistaken for a period. HPT can give you negative results even 2 months after a missed period if done improperly. If she's been drinking a lot of water, her urine may be too diluted to show the hormone in increased concentrations. If she's taken it at night, the hormone may not be built up enough either. Best time to take the HPT is in the morning when you first wake up, and not to drink a lot of water the evening before.

During the missed period remember to look for other signs including:

Swollen and sensitive breast
Bloating in the abdomen (Not weight gain, just tighter fitting pants from bloating)
Super smell (really sensitive nose)
Lack of energy
Food habits changing
SPOTTING

Hang in there; and best advice I'll give you is treat your g/f as if she's pregnant. Keep her away from Caffeine, alcohol, or drugs.

Awesome! My sister worked in an (insert politically correct term for old folks' home) for like two years so I took that to mean she must be qualified to diagnose and treat any medical issue I have. She's getting pretty sick of it. She's going to be so glad to learn I know of someone else who's closer to being a doctor than her!

You should see if Chris will let you deliver his baby!

I just graduated nursing school and OB (obstetrics aka babies/pregnancy/etc) is my area of interest. Those home pregnancy tests also need at least 2 weeks from the day of conception in order to test the hormones released. Just hang in there.

Yep. That too. Keep in mind that most pregnancies (but not all) occur during your most fertile peaks which is roughly 14 days after your cycle starts. Sense most periods start 14 days later, a missed period is usually, but not always, the time to take your first test. Sometimes the first half of the cycle runs late and your ovulation is later than normal. These extra few days can push the testing date back even further.

And yes. I can deliver babies. Someone fetch me some warm water and a towel.

I think 99% of what I now know about women's bodies during this time was learned the morning after my girlfriend told she might be pregnant. Turned out it was just late and nothing came of it, but my god the research you do after hearing that.....

Yay!

Now look into getting an IUD, or the shot, or the arm implant if she's one to not remember to take pills daily. ;) You'll feel much better.

Iud is a good thing. You don't need 5 mouths to feed.

I know, it's hard enough as it is... I need better budgeting skills and plan a kid if I ever want anymore

Another thing to consider is an implant in her arm.

Why her??
Get a vasectomy and never worry again ;)

At the risk of possible TMI...I have an IUD and have for 4 years...it's no big deal. I did a ton of research before getting one, too (I wanted to be "fixed" but no Dr. will do it since I don't have kids).I will never go back to taking pills again.

The only reason I hate them so much is because my baby momma had one and it really messed with her hormones.

See, that is what the pill does to me. Twice, I've tried to find one I can take, and all of the ones I've tried (4 different ones) make me depressed to the point of being suicidal, and just generally completely insane. I mean, it was really, really unbelievably bad, so I'll never try that again. I have the hormone releasing IUD, too, because I'm allergic to nickle, and it has been fine. I'm sure they don't work for everyone, but they are not always that bad:).

Nope. They aren't bad at all. I'm on my second one.
