So here’s the deal... I’m 18, and three months ago, I ended up pregnant with my boyfriend, even though we’ve only been together for about eight months. Honestly, if it were just up to me, I wouldn't care, but he and his family are making such a huge ordeal out of it. See, I never actually grew up in a religious household; I only got baptized because I didn't want kids at school picking on me when I was seven, and during my First Communion, I basically told the priest to just get it over with at 3 p.m. so I could leave—not my finest moment, I know, but you get the picture—and obviously, I never did Confirmation. That’s where all the drama starts, because my man wants us to have a full church wedding before my bump starts showing too much, specifically by August 30th. I said yes to it, but let's be real: it’s not what I actually want, and I know I won't be happy because I can't stand church and I don't believe in God. The whole question is, why can't we just go to the courthouse and get married there?! It's only because then they say we can't baptize the baby, and since he's dead set on that, I just went along with it and said fine, let's go to church... As you can see, we are running totally out of time for all the prep work, so I'm wondering how long those marriage prep classes actually take? And what about Confirmation??? Does anyone know where in San Francisco we can get married without them giving us a hard time just because I got pregnant before the wedding??
Please, I need some help ASAP because my head is spinning and nothing makes any sense right now! 😢

@Michelle Sanchez2 man, I’m seriously praying something finally happens soon... I want a baby so bad, but honestly? I'm terrified we aren't going to pull it off this time either 😢

@Edward Green, seriously, what is it with you being such a massive jerk all the time? This is literally the only subforum where I actually enjoy hanging out, and honestly, this is where I’ve picked up my smartest advice yet... I have to admit, the ladies over here are total Democratic Party!!! That's why whenever I'm stuck or hitting a wall, this is the first place I come to ask for help 🙂

@Edward Green alright, whatever you say 😘
@traveler sure thing, just move the thread over and I'll head over there... thanks to you too 😘

edit: I was just wondering what the actual odds are for getting pregnant, though obviously I know nobody on this board can tell me whether I actually am or not 😉

@elonmusk my mom actually walked me through how to track my fertile and non-fertile days, and then I woke up realizing today might be the day... I mean, I know it’s not 100% foolproof, but seriously... ever since my period ended—honestly even while I was on it—I've been hooking up with my man, so... plus, I’ll be finished with my degree in a month, so if I end up pregnant, everything is totally fine and we're good to go. We honestly really want this baby, both of us, so I was just wondering what the odds actually are because, you know, I was just following what my mom told me 🙂

@elonmusk I didn't even realize I could drop a question like this here... definitely coming back with more stuff like this from now on... thanks 😘

@het Look, I don't doubt you're trying to help, really, but my partner and I have talked about this endlessly and we've decided we want a baby—money isn't even an issue for us, honestly. We both want this kid so badly and we're just praying this time actually works... but I wanted to get some outside perspective here because what my mom told me is seriously eating at me, so yeah... 😘

@Lali Puna I was honestly just looking for some input from the ladies on this sub 😉

So, I’m sitting here wondering—what are actually my chances of getting pregnant right now?! Like, my fertile window is supposed to start today, but even before that (I'm talking about those days leading up to the peak), my guy and I have been sleeping together without any protection because, duh, we're trying for a baby... and then today we did it again, totally unprotected, and he finished inside me... I mean, obviously, I know there's a chance I could conceive, and honestly, a pretty big one, but we've done this exact same thing before and I haven't gotten pregnant yet... can anyone actually give me a straight answer here??? We really, really want this baby, but now I'm low-key freaking out that it might be a struggle since we didn't make it happen 😢
p.s. my mom was telling me how it took her three whole years to finally "make" me, so now I'm just spiraling 🙂

Look, I’m totally fine with having sex while I'm on my period... my guy is actually super into it too... we just head under the shower afterward and call it a day... I don't get why people make such a huge deal out of it or act like it's gross or something... we've even done it on the very first day of my cycle... so what? We never bother with protection either, and he always finishes inside me, whether I'm bleeding or not.
Anyway, I've got a quick question... I recently had to take those emergency contraceptive pills and it gave me this fake period... so, if anyone knows, does my fertile window kick back in right after that bleeding stops, or how does that work? If someone knows, please hit me up, if not, whatever.😍
