Okay, please don't jump to any conclusions on this, 'cause I'm just asking a question or two.

To the ladies, especially ones who've had children: what are actually the symptoms of pregnancy? Ya know, besides the puking???? I just wanna know, cause I think I may need to go to the doc's office. I'm worried and scared to death, y'all!! I mean, I seriously doubt that I'm pregnant, but there is still a possibility. So, help!!! How else can ya tell whether you're expecting???

Go get a pregnancy test

Seriously, though, some symptoms are: fatigue, nausea, vomiting, water retention

you have a baby after nine months.



j/k, missing you period or having a very light period and everything that alt said. also swollen breasts but that might be towards the end.

go get first response or something.

The Wife said she just knew.

Doubt that helps.

Good luck.

in the beginning you wont have many symptoms....all i had was nausea and tender breasts....get tested...ill be prayin for ya

Also, if you're willing to give a little more info: do you keep track of your cycle? (the number of days from the start of your last period to the beginning of the next) Are you regular? I ask, because it can be helpful to know when you ovulate, which is usually in the middle of your cycle, around 2 weeks after your period. That's when your chances of getting pregnant are highest.

If you're on a hormonal method of birth control (pill, patch, Depo Shot, hormonal IUD), then you're not supposed to ovulate. BUT if you miss a pill or patch or shot, you could ovulate anytime.....

Lastly, always remember that if you've had unprotected sex (condom broke, you missed a pill, whatever), you have 3 days to go to the pharmacy and get the Morning After Pill, which prevents pregnancy 75% of the time, if taken within the 3 days.

All correct as far as I'm aware. If you're within 3 days, call Planned Parenthood. I have taken the morning after pill myself once. It is sooooo worth the peace of mind. Or if you're after that point, go get a test. Take it. You'll know. For me, not knowing was the most excruciating part.

well, you shouldn't have to worry.

It's not like catching the flu or anything contagious like that.

You have to get some loving first before you can get pregnant.

If you can't give some helpful advice instead of steady crackin jokes, then I think ya need to stay the hell off my thread.

Thanx for the advice, guys. I know exactly what I'm gonna do now. Thanx!

now bkw will have to make an honest man out of you...

kiss85 said:

Everybodies situation is different. I never had puking and I have 3 kids. Go to the drug store and get one of those pregnancy test kit, at least 2 to double check. Put your mind at ease.

an over-the-counter pregnancy test relies on the presence of a hormone in the [pregnant] woman's urine but not all women have this hormone in measurable quantities early.

a blood test, however, will determine this very accurately

aren't pregnancy tests kinda expensive?

Natsume said:

no. they're under $15 and considering that they test for pregnancy, that's not a lot of money. i spend more on my hair.

And there are some places you can go where they're free. Our clinic does them for free....

(Just don't go to church-sponsored places, which are not actually medical facilities)

ignore it like i ignore my ball pain

if nothing develops over the course of 9 months your okay

Speaking of pregnancy. Has anyone heard of birth control where you get an injection? I don't know what it's called, but your doctor, or you, can inject this stuff into your arm or something. A girl at work was mentioning it but wasn't very clear on how effective it was, or really clear on anything about it for that matter. Her doctor just prescribed it and she did it.

I'm considering doing this. The doctor won't put me on the pill and I don't like condoms, so I'm kinda just hoping each month. I need something! Anyone use this or know about it?

AzureStarr said:

Depo Provera, you get an injection once every 3 months and it's even MORE effective against pregnancy than the pill. But, if your doctor won't put you on the pill, s/he probably won't put you on the shot, either, cause it has estrogen/progestin.

"I don't like condoms, so I'm just kinda hoping"

AzureStarr said:

I've seen BC patches, you wear for a week, then replace with a new one.
I asked my wife about this, but she says they're expensive.
Don't know about the injection kind...weren't there strips that were implanted
under your skin? What happened to those?
