According to a retarded 'online pregnacy test'- which just spits out a probability of you being pregnant, based on a series of questions you answer- I am 4 weeks pregnant.
Tender/swollen breasts, sort of bloated feeling, nausea and that 'feeling' that something's off. Pull out method. Shits and giggles. But we do love eachother dearly. We want kids, just not quite yet.
I actually dont know if Im pregnant for sure yet. However, Im taking these few days before I venture to buy a test to feel like a mother. To feel like Im responsible for another human being, and caring for a life, whether or not its actually there.
Over the passed 5 years, Ive had 4 pregnancy scares, and in retrospect, I think Ive sort of convinced myself that I was pregnant. This time around, I tried to be more aware of my train of thought, and tried to stay very neutral.

There are two sides of this, in my opinion.
One side of me is going absolutely insane. I dont know if the rest of my life will revolve around a child. I dont know if Im ready for this sort of responsibility. My mate is still in school. Can I afford it? Will I be able to carry to term? Should I be worried about anything?
On the other hand..
I may be having a child. I'll have a person that will depend on me, and I can provide for him. Motherhood is beautiful. Im carrying the baby of the man I love and plan to marry. If I carry to term, I'll have the baby around the time he's out of school. =D

Just wondering if anyone has gone through this. I sort of feel like Im floating. And I do little things as to not harm my maybe-baby. Try not to lay on my belly for too long. Quit smoking. Quit drinking. Eating healthier. Better sleep schedule. Being more active. Trying not to get stressed out about work.

Just for reference, I believe I conceived on the 16th. Since then, we have had unprotected sex four times. First day of my last period was the 2nd of this month. Had spotting- which could be implantation bleeding- around the 23rd. Lasted two days. Well. Didnt really 'last'. It wasnt a flow. Just.. Spotting.
Plan on buying a test Thursday, taking it Saturday morning. If its negative, I'll take another if I dont get my period by the 5th. If its positive. Well. I have a lot of thinking to do. And talking. And planning. And I'll definately get myself to a doctor. =0

Posting because, well, I sort of need to vent. And I figured I could do it here, and still get some words of wisdom, similar stories, things of that nature. <3

I am sort of having a similar situation
I just found out 2 weeks ago, that I was pregnant, but I was 8 then, and 10 weeks now.
I was going to abort but decided against it at the last minute, becuase I couldnt go through with it.
Me and my boyfriend are still both in school.
You can do it, if you want to. There are orgonizations that help alot, can get you parenting classes, financial aid, medical insurance, stuff like that.
If you dont feel up to it, that its just not right, then abortion may be an option you should concider. From your dates you gave out your still early enough for a pill type abortion. Alot easier and less painful.
But really, you just need to test. An online one is very... unreliable.
I have had pregnancy scares to, but I dunno, it was differnt this time. I just knew. After my 6th week, I puked constantly. And... I just knew, even before the test. I hoped against hope that it wasnt true, because I didnt want to have to deal with this all at this time, but I accepted it when it was positive, and am dealing with it.
I really hope I helped some, if nothing else just to tell you your not alone. Lots of women go through this. If you need someone to talk to anytime feel free to pm me.
Good luck!!!

I have been there wieghing options before I knew because I wanted to be prepared it was good for me but I felt guilty because I resigned myself to the fact that I had to keep personally I had no other options. which left my the fiance kind of in a corner he either had to be a dad or leave me. It all worked out better than I ever would have expected them we are very happy married and living together on our own with our son. Anyways goodluck.

Song.
Im glad things worked out for you. Things can be rough sometimes. Especially with you still in school, theres added pressure and stress. Coming home to a baby everyday, after not sleeping in weeks will really get to you.
Abortion is not an option for me. Ever. Unless being pregnant will kill me [which, in that case, Id opt for a tubal ligation or some such] I would never take a life from a child. Born or not. Fetus or not. Heartbeat or not. I wouldnt even ever consider emergency contraception.
Like I said, I do want a child. Me and my partner agree on that. And if I am pregnant, things will definately be a little weird for a while, but we'll continue life as normal. Just.. with a happy addition. =D
I work full time. I do want to take classes, if I am, to just be with other women, and know that Im doing everything I can for my baby.
I thought about it overnight, and decided to buy a test today. Test tomorrow morning, when urine is most...potent. x3
I appreciate your caring. <3
Good luck to you, as well.

Wot. Heh. Im really glad things worked out in your, and the baby's favor. Single parenting is difficult. No one should have to do it alone. Some men are really great, and do, in fact, care about their mates and they want them to be happy and healthy, and help them through whatever is happening in their lives. Including parenthood.
My boyfriend and I always discuss parenthood, and our want for children. We've both agreed itd be better for us to be married and settled before that happens. I remeber one distinct comment, though: "I wouldnt mind knockin ya up right now. -wink wink-" So I hope he was serious. Lol.
Im confidant that he will be there for me. I dont doubt that he will. I suppose its time for me to meet his mum, eh? =D
