Grab a test! (For anyone wondering if they're pregnant)

I’m trying, really, but I just can't wrap my head around some people... here...
It's the same story with this friend of mine. We were talking yesterday and she says this guy came inside her four times, and now she's been throwing up every single morning for two weeks, running late to everything, and she's basically clueless on what to do next. I mean, look, if you aren't planning on having a kid and you're irresponsible enough to have unprotected sex, and then a few weeks later everything goes completely sideways... why aren't you reacting sooner?!
I just don't get it, seriously.

Is there any way at all to get pregnant if condoms are used correctly and none of them ever broke?

Well, if we're going by what you just said, I'd say no.

But hey, weird stuff happens all the time...

Maybe your period is just late? Or maybe it's late for some other reason entirely...

Sean Lee10 said:Quick question. My period is five days late, and I’ve got all the usual symptoms: sore breasts, cramping, constant bathroom trips, and a killer lower backache. I took a pregnancy test this morning, but it came back negative. How much longer should I wait for my period to actually show up?

My first period felt off. I had those exact same symptoms—constant bathroom trips for an entire month.🤣 Then my next one just never came. Now I'm 26 weeks pregnant.😍

And to make matters worse, that first test—right after that weird amount—came back negative.

how exactly did you go about comforting them, haha

Hello everyone... My name is Joseph and I am 20 years old...
My last period was on October 17th, and I have this sinking feeling that I might be pregnant, a sensation I can't quite shake...
I am certainly not ready for motherhood; my boyfriend and I used a condom, though there is always the possibility it failed...
What should my next steps be? Am I pregnant? Please help me...

Look, you're only seven days late, so there's no need to spiral into a full-blown panic just yet. Just hold steady for a little longer, and if your cycle still hasn't started, head straight to a doctor! They can give you a definitive answer on whether you're pregnant or not—or just go grab a home test!

I’m planning to make my move this Monday... just tell me which one I should pick up. I need to stop the panic because my nerves are shot, and frankly, I am not built for this kind of stress...

Just grab a test at CVS or go see your OB-GYN...

Honestly, pick any brand. If you're pregnant, they'll all give you the answer.😉

Look, if you're freaking out, just head over to a 24-hour CVS right now and grab any test you can find... I think they're going for maybe $15 or $20 these days 😕 This was ages ago, honestly—just wait until tomorrow morning, use your first urine sample, and then you can finally stop stressing your life away 🙂

I'll head out and check back in later... best wishes to everyone.

Look, I personally went with Clearblue; it runs a bit more expensive, maybe around $30, I can't recall the exact figure, but it is hands down the most reliable option out there. As for the panic, I completely understand why you're feeling such intense anxiety and convinced yourself that you aren't ready for this yet, but believe me when I say that from the very moment you realize a new life is growing inside you, everything shifts and those maternal instincts just kick in—we are all ready for this, trust me.

Oh, you aren't pregnant... not when you're using protection... I once had a cycle that was delayed by two full weeks without a condom, and yet, I wasn't pregnant at all...🙂 🙂

Just a moment, I suppose I should wait until my first morning trip to the restroom?

briskbadger11 said:Just a moment, I suppose I should wait until my first morning trip to the restroom?

Honestly, you could, but it’s not like it matters if you just take some Tylenol... if you're actually pregnant, it'll show up eventually anyway.

In my experience, there's zero reason to wait until morning...

I actually took one two days before my period started once, and it was already positive.

briskbadger11 said:Just a moment, I suppose I should wait until my first morning trip to the restroom?

Yeah, better do that... hormone levels are at their peak then, so if you actually are pregnant, you’ll likely see it by tomorrow morning...

Alright, I’m heading out to pick some things up now so I can get started on this immediately... cheers, everyone.

...Precisely; you can run a test at any hour of the day, and I’ve personally done them late in the evening with perfectly reliable results!
