I'm a single mom who just recently became intimate with my boyfriend. We've been friends for almost a year and only been sexually active for a month with strict use of condoms. He is divorced with kids not wanting more and I myself wasn't planning for more kids. We're in the older age bracket to have children. I'm a week late on my peroid, have lower abdominal pressure with urinary frequency, food cravings, and breast tenderness. I think I might be pregnant and want the support from him if I am. Should we take the test together. I'm scared to death.

Of course you may not be, so you may wish to know for sure. Just my opinion.

I agree with Fr_Chuck... although at the same time, you did both make the decision as adults to have sex, so you'll both have to face the consequences, good or bad, together(as even with protection, there is always a risk of getting pregnant, when having sex. Though I commend you for using protection). So taking the test together might not be a bad idea.

I think that you need to wait and make sure you really are pregnant. If you are then I think you need to tell him.

I would have to agree, see if he will agree to take the test with you or you could just wait and see if you are pregnant before sharing the news.
