Actually WG, if she is pregnant, there is an abortion pill. It's very controversial, very high risk, and not recommended.

Since he is operating already at a loss, I didn't want to further confuse him. Was trying to keep it simple.

He cannot know she is pregnant. Even GOD Himself isn't sure.

Each act of intercourse DOES NOT make a baby.

Based on what you wrote in your original post, how could you possibly know already that she is pregnant?

That's what I'd like to know. But he did ask "which caused the pregnancy". He said that twice in his original post. Why ask what caused the pregnancy if pregnancy hasn't been confirmed?

Maybe he got the dates wrong in his post?

I spit soda... just sayin'

Obviously, English is not his first language. He doesn't have the finer stylistic points down yet.

LOL! I agree, but I'm posting accurate information, because that's what we do here. Not my fault if the OP doesn't understand it, heck, he thought pineapple would either cause or prevent a pregnancy. Still not sure where he was going with that.

But we also have to consider where this OP lives. Based on the writing style, I'd bet that he lives somewhere were sex education is nonexistent. If that's the case, his lack of knowledge isn't his fault.

We could educate him, or let him go on thinking that pineapples cause pregnancy. I choose education. :)

I'd also like to point out that if the dates he posted are accurate, then yes, it would be too early to know that the girlfriend is pregnant, but he did post "which caused the pregnancy?" Which implies that pregnancy has been confirmed.

Just going by what he writes, as best I can. :)

You're overthinking this. English is not his first language. Please be more basic in how you state responses. :) Number them?

Pineapple
1. does not cause pregnancy.
2. does not prevent pregnancy.
3. does not abort a foetus.

It's too late, he's off line. :(

Fact is, mocking him isn't going to help educate him, and I think if we look back on this thread most of the posts were mocking, not educating.

He didn't seem to have an issue understanding what I wrote. If he wanted me to number things, and be more basic, he could have said so. At least I tried to give him the facts, instead of mocking him for being uneducated about reproduction.

I'm just as frustrated as everyone else by the silly pregnancy questions we get on this site. I do often mock too, I'll admit that. But recently I've thought to myself that it's not the OP's fault that they're not educated. It's societies fault. So we can either change that by educating, or we can perpetuate the problem. From now on I choose to educate, no matter how stupid the question is.

If the OP on this thread comes back, I'll do my best to educate him. I'll do my best to simplify my posts if that will help, but a little help from the others posting, would be appreciated. Just saying.

I did not mock. I simply asked him how he could know she is pregnant already and what the deal with pineapples pieces is... neither of which he chose to answer.

Ok... and I spit soda too...

No, you didn't mock, but your soda did land on my newly fixed computer. We'll talk about that later. ;)

Maybe mock was too harsh a word.

But did anyone of us really help? Try to get to the bottom of this?

It's obviously a language barrier, and some of what he posts makes no sense, which is most likely because of the language barrier.

Bottom line, he's confused. In one thread he asked what caused the pregnancy, implying that she's pregnant, that it's been confirmed. Going by the dates he posted, that's not possible, it's too soon.

He mentions pineapple in both, and the only reason I caught on to the pineapple bit was because of my talk with Mr. S med student. Again though, the fact that he thinks pineapple may help, well, an overdose of Vit C can cause a miscarriage, which would again imply that the girlfriend is already pregnant.

All of his questions ask about terminating this pregnancy.

I think he posted the wrong dates. To me it sounds like there is a pregnancy, and he doesn't want it, he wants to abort it. That's fine, I'm not pro life, I'm pro choice (not his choice though, it's the girlfriends choice), but he has to be clearer, even if English isn't his first language. Hell, it's not my first language either.

Bottom line, we spent a lot of time in stunned disbelief over what he posted instead of trying to get to the bottom of things, finding out what he really wanted to know, and what's really going on.

I think if he had answered my questions, I could have been a little more helpful. The part about my questions being ignored didn't sit well with me though... and made me less likely to help in a situation that I already had trouble understanding.

True, and I agree.

I asked questions too, questions that weren't answered. If he had answered them we'd all be better equipped to help.

I suspect there was too much coming at him for him to sort through it all and be able to answer. I'm hoping he will return.

I hope he does too.

I don't think he really understands what causes pregnancy, or what prevents pregnancy. It's our job to educate him, since he obviously didn't get that education growing up.

Michael? Is she currently pregnant?

If not, then wait to see if she skips a period. Then have her take a pregnancy with early morning urine. (gives more accurate results) Start with that.

Now, if she is pregnant and you BOTH agree to not have this baby, there are some options. Abortion, the abortion pill, or even adoption. All three are very serious decisions. Please take the time to really think about any of those options. Make sure you both are on the same page. Either way consult a doctor.

Just to clarify, pineapples do not promote pregnancy or prevent it.

Also, no form of birth control is 100% effective. Not having sex is VERY effective.

Pre ejaculation CAN cause pregnancy. Trust me, I know first hand. So next time, consider using a condom.

Next, she should really consider getting on the pill if you two are going to take your relationship in a whole new direction.

What counrty do you live in? I just want to make sure you fully understand me.

I think the both of you may want to consider reading up on sex and the anatomy to gain a better understanding...
