I haven't heard that song in many, many years,

[blue]

i never planned a baby before !

I love this song

[bluesummer]

Well, I should find out tomorrow whether I'm having an unplanned one or not.

Going for test number two tomorrow morning. Going to do it properly this time. I'm now almost three weeks late, something is definitely up.

[misombra]

do you feel sick?

[IndiReloaded]

are your boobs extra sensitive?

For the guys: pregnant women = NO PMS.

[bluesummer]

I don't feel nauseous or anything, but yeah my chest is tender.

However, test number two was also negative. So it's time to see the doctor. If I'm not pregnant, then something else is wrong.

I'm awful with pills, too. It's almost useless for me to be on them, because I always forget to take them.

ah yes. I found a solution for this; My.. uh.. network provider (?) has a login where you can send sms messages online for free internationally and you can also schedule a txt to be sent to you at the same time every day. Very handy

I was going to say that you are probably not pregnant and sometimes you may skip your monthly because of stress, etc. But, then I see you mention that your chest is tender and that is a "classic" sign of pregnancy so I don't know. Yeah a doctor's visit is a good idea.

[DharmicLove]

Well, girl, I hope everything works out the way you want them to. Do you feel you are prepared for this?

[vashti]

sore chest = pregancy?

Hmm.. in that case, i get the "classic sign of pregnancy" every single month.

[squirrley]

Hope all turns out the way you want Bluesummer. I missed 2 periods and had no true signs of pregnancy, senstive or sore boobs. I was actually 9 weeks along when it was confirmed. I didnt start to feel symptoms of pregnancy until my 3rd month.

I have been in your shoes once, thinking I was pregnant, had the signs so I thought, missed the periods, etc. Took the home pregnancy tests, although negative I swore I was pregnant. Finally went to the Dr for a blood test, negative. And here I was almost 2 months late. You can really freak yourself out mentally and believe youre pregnant and youre body will respond in some crazy ways...going to the Dr is the best solution.

Goodluck!

that made me laugh so hard

yeah, summer, I bet everything will be all right. unless you didn't wait long enough for them to show the right result, I can't see how two tests could be wrong. Try not to worry. easier said that done I know.

missed period + sore boobs are "classic" signs of pregnancy. That's is why I have it in quotes. I am just quoting info from my studies. Plus I mean really sore boobs, and not the premenstrual symptoms.

I think you are kind of old to be aborting unwanted babies, and I'd be worried about the lack of time investment you have in this relationship. After all, you aren't even divorced yet. Things may turn out great with this guy, but they may not. I don't usually think it's good to be thinking about long term until a relationship has been around for 1 1/2 - 2 years.

But that's just me. I tend to be pretty conservative with matters of the heart.

I don't think this decision should have anything to do with age.
The decision should be made based upon whether you and your boyfriend are ready to fully devote your lives to raising a child.

If you really don't think you're ready, don't have a child.
On the other hand, it might possibly be(most probably) the best thing that has ever happened to you.

And having a baby doesn't mean you can't finish school, travel, or do whatever you want to do with your life. You just have another human along for the ride, granted whose welfare you are responsible for.

Either way, make the decision based upon what you and your boyfriend want and need, not on society's views of what is appropriate.
