So... where to begin... I've been seeing my boyfriend for about 3 to 4 months now... and we finally decided to get closer with each other. Well the first time the condom some how came off and it's kind of embaressing but we had to go fishing for it. I could have swore that night that I felt some of his around my vaginal area. But then that could just be me thinking things. Well for the whole course of this month we have had sex with and with out a condom... when we would not use the condom we'd do the pull out method. But when we'd use a condom he'd just inside me.. But... it's getting to the end of the month and I've had menstrol cramps(more painful then the normal menstrol cramps) but no real period. I had like one drop of blood. And I've taken 3 pregnancy tests (2 really cheap ones from the dollar tree and one exspensive one: First Response) and they've come up negative. But I'm having really bad nausiea and it seems to get worse every week. I'm gaining weight along the belly area, but my eating habbits have not changed, although I crave a few extra sweets but that only happens along my menstrol cycle, which I've not really had. My breast feel tight, but not really all that sore. I'm really scared... I don't know what is going on with me.. I just want to know for sure if I am pregnant or not. My boyfriend was a little dissapointed when he saw the pregnancy test came up negative, as was I. Even though I know that I'm only 20 years old, working at a dead end job, and still living at home. And I know if I'm pregnant there's a high chance of being kicked out on my butt. But for some reason that's not really bothering me. The only ting bothering me is the fact I might not be pregnant. But I have just about all the symptoms. But I have known where there are some women who have to get blood tests to see if their poregnant, because the pregnancy test don't work for them. I'm just wondering if I could be pregnant and what should I do? I'm going to try another pregnancy test in the morning because I've read it's better to take it then. So we'll see what happens. I just really need some answers.

Yes, always take the test in the morning. You could be stressing yourself so much that your body is tricking you... like a false pregnancy. There is no telling until you find out from a positive test, a doctor or you start your period. Although some women can still have a period after they are pregnant. Your best best is to stop stressing, take the test in the morning and wait it out.

Well I have been where you are and I was very lucky not to be pregent. It sounds like you have a lot of the symptoms but also wishing you were can make you think you are when you aren't. I know how fairytale like you may think it could be if you were but believe me its not easy, its very hard to raise a baby. As much As love my kids there were times were I felt so strapped down I just wanted to leave have fun with my friends,truth was nobody want to hang with me cause I changed your no fun anymore when your up all night with a baby that's sick.. The point of all this is don't get pregent just cause its what your boyfriend wants or it can help you financially. You want to become a mom when you can share it with someone you love and have the means to take care of that baby and not have to worry where to live . Just take time to make the right decisions for you and no one else cause in the end when the boyfriend leaves you only have you...

Well of course there is no such thing as a pull out method, that is not a birth control method,
There are plenty of Sperm in the early fluids. It does reduce sperm but is not any sort of birth control. ** who is teaching kids that pulling out is some method??

So yes you have been having unprotected sex, so can you be, yes, But you may need to wait and see your doctor

Okay, for the lecture first... You have only been seeing him for 3 - 4 months. For crying out loud you don't even know him yet! Secondly, it doesn't scare you that you are working in a dead end job and may be homeless if you are pregnant? How are you going to afford a child? Girl, where are your brains!!

Now, I'll get off my soap box.

It is too early to be gaining weight if you are pregnant. There is no such thing as the pull out method. Condoms need to be used correctly to work properly. Children are EXPENSIVE, they are not toys. Babies do not love you unconditionally, they depend their lives on everything you do.

Unfortunately, you are now playing the waiting game. You must wait until you miss your period before you can test using first morning urine. And, by all means, please get on birth control, don't become another statistic.

I don't think you are pregnant but if you are really concerned about having an unwanted pregnanct then use a condom religiously or get some birth control pills or the depot shot.
