WhiteDaisies Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 Hi y'all...So I may pregnant by my FWB....but not only is he my FWB but he's also my ex. We hooked up a few days ago and I'm scared I might be pregnant. We've never used a condom (Yes, I know that's dumb) because he pulls out. I wasn't ovulating then because it was the day after my period ended. I know I can still get pregnant, but the kicker is that if I am pregnant, I'll get kicked out of my college. ( I go to an uber private Christian school) and I'll probably get kicked out of my home. I just need advice dealing with this. I could raise a child, I know it'll be difficult, but I don't know what to do about everything else. I do have a bit in savings. How long should I wait until I begin to have pregnancy symptoms and how long should I wait to take a pregnancy test? P.S. He broke up with me because he wasn't ready for another intense relationship. He still has feelings for me (he told me) and we have talked about the idea of if I ever got pregnant. He said he would be there for me.
lana-banana Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 I would wait at least fourteen days to take a pregnancy test, and even then I would recommend you see an OB/GYN for a more accurate test. Do not bother with worrying about pregnancy symptoms; they are vague and most women experience similar things close to their periods. If you're going to have sex under such risky circumstances (and why are you at a super conservative Christian school if you want premarital sex?) please get an IUD. Your insurance should cover them entirely and the peace of mind is unbeatable.
acrosstheuniverse Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 I'm confused, is there a reason why you think you might be pregnant? I didn't see one. So he pulled out, and you weren't at a fertile point of your cycle? Well sure, it's technically possible, but not likely. Is there a part of you that actually wants to be pregnant? 1
almond Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 You might be pregnant, but you might have and STD too. You might also get into a car accident tomorrow. Anything is possible, but that doesn't mean you should worry about things that are unlikely. You're over-thinking this. Calm down - you're probably not pregnant. It's a good idea to take the pregnancy test the first day of a missed period, or three weeks after having sex. Just wait it out - don't go calling your ex telling him that you may be pregnant - no need for unnecessary drama. I'd suggest going to the doctor in three weeks for a blood test, and to get an STD check too. Use condoms if you're not in an exclusive relationship. This is also a good opportunity to sort out some much needed birth control.

I'm guessing she wouldn't be that upset about being pregnant if it helped her to stay connected to her ex.

Yeah I did wanna give OP chance to elaborate first but it does just sound like a boat load of unnecessary drama to me. Wasn't ovulating, dude pulled out, yeah those things aren't as reliable as the pill or a condom but it sounds like she's just whipping herself up into a pointless frenzy cos it keeps her and the ex linked, next she'll be telling him she thinks she might be pregnant despite them having chosen not to use any contraception and there'll be a nice lot of pointless drama and fear until her period arrives and ex loses interest again.
