1. What type of birth control (Condoms, pills, pulled out) did you use, if any?
None

2. Were there any problems with your protection (condom breaking, missing pills)?
n/a

3. Are you trying to get pregnant, or avoiding it?
Trying to get pregnant

4. How many days are between the first day of one period and the first day of your next?
Not sure--I have a really long, irregular cycle.

5. Any big changes which could change your cycle (major change in diet, exercise, new medication, new stress?)
None I can think of.

6. What was the month/day your last period started?
Not sure--I have the exact dates on a calender at work, but it's about a month and a half ago.

7. What date(s) did you have sex?
12/11 (that would be my conception guess.) We've had sex other times, but I am suspicious that that was it.

8. Where was ejaculation(in vagina, in condom, pulled-out)?
In vagina

9. Is there anything else that makes you think you're pregnant?
I took a First Response pregnancy test and it's positive. So I guess there's no real mystery here, I'm just flipping out a little and am afraid to believe that it's real.

Basically, I have a really really irregular cycle, and I work long hours. My husband and I have been trying casually to get pregnant for a while, and my doctor told me when I thought I was ovulating, we should have sex every two days for four days before, and four days after. She also said that it would harder for us because my cycle is so irregular and unpredictable.

And because of my stressful and busy work schedule, we haven't really been charting my ovulation and making sure to have sex at the right times.

I started to suspect I was pregnant over the weekend--not for any particularly good reason. The only "sign of pregnancy" I seem to be exhibiting is tender breasts, but I've had those before. So this morning I decided to take a pregnancy test, just to see, and I got those infamous two pink lines. Obviously I'm going to call my doctor first thing tomorrow morning, but that's a whole day away, and in the meantime, I'm flipping out.

So, I guess my question is--what's the likelihood of a false positive? I'm almost afraid to believe that it's true.

6. What was the month/day your last period started?: December 5

7. What date(s) did you have sex?: Didn't have sex. My boyfriend and I fooled around and he rubbed his penis against and almost into my vagina (through my underwear). I don't think anything soaked through (I also don't think he had ejaculated at that point), but I can't be sure, and I'm panicking because I was ovulating at that exact time. This was December 14 and 19.


9. Is there anything else that makes you think you're pregnant?:

Probably just stress creating 'symptoms,' because it's so soon after the 'incidents.' I can't believe I didn't realize the risk of dry sex (he was undressed, I had underwear on)/fingering through underwear. I've read up on Scarleteen and of course it makes sense that there's ONLY a risk of pregnancy if semen/pre-cum soaked through my underwear, and I don't think that happened (I would have felt wetness from him, and the time I remembered to check afterwards the outside of my underpants weren't wet), but I've been nauseous and crampy the past two days, and just wiped and found a tiny bit of blood and it's nowhere near my period... I've never bled between periods before. Is a tiny single streak of blood 'spotting' or just a freak thing that I wouldn't notice if I weren't panicking? My vagina hurts, but this is probably because I've never masturbated or been touched there before, so that part makes sense. It's possible that that stimulation caused a tiny bit of bleeding and the cramping. It's probable that I'm fine, but I'm panicking.




I've had sex ed. I'm not clueless. I know the risk is probably minuscule, if anything, and would dearly love to be told there's no risk at all. I'm just scared.

I've been depressed for the last 6 months now. I know it, and yet can't (won't?) do anything to change it. My therapist and i are trying to work through it without the use of drugs... but i'm starting to give up hope of being happy again. I was afraid of more drugs... but i'm on so many... what's one more? *sigh*
I've been to a fun waterpark, went on 2 vacations (one being a dream vacation), seen friends and family... and there's still a part of me saying... "Why are you doing these fun things? You don't deserve to be happy." I can remember sliding down a waterslide and laughing out loud. The only thought that went through my head was, "Hey! I remember this! This is having fun!". And then once the experience is over, I'm sad again.
I've watched those commercials about depression and about pushing those who care about you away. Its true. My family and friends love me, yet I can't get over how I don't deserve their love or time or friendship. That I'm a failure because I have no job (can't work right now), no boyfriend (who wants all my extra baggage?) and live at home (almost 30 and living with my parents). My mom says i'm too hard on myself and that i can't expect to live the life my siblings have with my medical history, and in my head i know its true... but I just can't shake this feeling of failure. Why can't I be normal?
I've been dx'd with lupus, arthritis, sclero, etc. for 3.5 years and my docs were watching me in the beginning for signs of depression. When they started to show about a year ago, they sent me to a therapist. Its like they were waiting for it. Have any or all of you gone through this?
My worst days include the thoughts already written here, plus the famous: "There's no hope i'm going to get better, i might as well just die now. Why bother do anything? you're never going to change, just get sicker." There are good days... just so few.

1. What type of birth control (Condoms, pills, pulled out) did you use, if any?
Condoms
2. Were there any problems with your protection (condom breaking, missing pills)?
Before the condom was on, he put his penis inside of my vagina twice--both times very quickly. The first time it was just the head of the penis, the second time he was completely inside and he thrust three times very quickly. Both times happen very fast, probably less than 15 seconds.
Also, in the countless times I have had sex with my boyfriend, he has never produced any visible precum. Does this make the chances of coming into contact with sperm through pre-ejaculatory fluid very slim or is precum present and containing some sperm whether you see it or not?
3. Are you trying to get pregnant, or avoiding it?
Avoiding!
4. How many days are between the first day of one period and the first day of your next?
32-34, but usually 32
5. Any big changes which could change your cycle (major change in diet, exercise, new medication, new stress?)
Finals just finished and they were very physically taxing. I also started taking 5-HTP supplements and fish oil during Thanksgiving.
6. What was the month/day your last period started?
Nov 16th
7. What date(s) did you have sex?
Dec 16th
8. Where was ejaculation(in vagina, in condom, pulled-out)?
Condom was used during PIV sex, minus those two quick moments, and in the end he ejaculated nowhere near my vagina.
9. Is there anything else that makes you think you're pregnant?
Sometimes my stomach hurts, but I think it might be because every time I think of this I get anxious.
Also my breasts are really large and somewhat tender, but this also happens before my period.

Thank You for your help!!
