Sitting, Waiting, Wishing

[KeeleyMay]

It was my first time, totally unplanned and regreted and regretably without protection. And it happened to be right around my ovulation. Spot on my ovulation to be exact. I know all the symptoms to look for and what should be happening. Knowldge wise I'm prepared.
But emotionally...I don't know how to handle this. It's not being scared that I am pregnant really, more just the anxiety of whether or not I should be getting my hopes up. I wouldn't have asked for a teen pregnancy but I have always wanted children and the would-be-baby's father is a better guy than I could ever have asked for, one whom I would marry whether or not I'm pregnant.
Does anyone have any advice on how to cope for the next two weeks until I can take a test or miss my period?
And is it wrong for me to be getting excited even though I'm at the wrong age to be starting a family?
One more thing, has anyone just felt/known they were pregnant before it was even remotly possible to know.
A lot to ask sorry. I'm just kind of in the dark here.​

Hey
Ok, to get through the next week, don't nessicarily (sp) forget about it, but try to put your attention somewhere else. As hard as it is, it will make the weeks go faster! Also speak to your partner about it too. Just like 'what if?..' if you get me. Its not wrong at all to be excited huni any one can have babies (y)
YES! I knew I was pregnant straight away. Idk I just felt it. Right through the 6 weeks before my missed period I just knew. I felt really protective over my stomach, I didn't have any symptoms as such apart from the missed period. I can't explain it really it was just instinct

hey hunni

being a teen mummy isnt a bda thing i mean if you have had sex right on the day you ovulated then yes there is a high risk of pregnancy. im 16 and im 23 weeks pregnant with a little boy. dont feel bad hunni about being excited its not like you planned it but to be excited about tyhe thought of having a lil one is normal cos its your maternal instinct kicking in.

umm to get through the next 2 weeks dont dwell on the thought of being pregnant to much. just go about day to day life and there is a pregnacy test called first response which you can use i think about 5 days befor your period is due im not sure tho

and yes i knew i was preg before i did the test i just had this huge feeling and i was right but now nearly 6 months on i want this lil baby boy inside me more than anything and i wouldnt change what has happened for the world

so chin up hunni and everything is going to be ok

hey hun i actualy knew i was pregnant within the 1st few weeks before i took a test, my body changed just like that i didnt feel myself, i felt sick and had 2 wee a heck of a lot wich had never happnd before and i got really moody and went off sertain foods straight away but its different for every woman when the symptoms kick in some people may not have any at all, i found it hard 2 wait to test i cant erally remember what i did to take my mind of it but it worked and before i knew it it was time to test, i waited a week after my period to test to make sure that it was accurate and i wasnt just late. but you can get tests even before AF is due, hope everything goes ok. keep us updated

I had no idea I was pregnant..Until I was on holiday wondering why I couldnt stand the taste of any alcoholic drink I tried. Then I remembered that I had only slightly bled for 2 days the month before. Then it clicked. Other than that no symptoms. Try not get your hope up too much though, you might be in for a big let down.

You sound quite mature, so age doesnt matter too much. Try not stress too much the next 2 week, as that can also delay a period.Anyway, good luck in whatever the result, and let us no xx

Can i just ask something without seeming offensive ... if you are clued up enough to know when your ovulating why did you have unprotected sex?

[KeeleyMay]

Well actually I didn't realize I had ovulated until afterwards becuase it was the first month I had begun tracking ovulation due to other medical reasons so it wasn't on purpose or anything.
Thanks a ton for all the advice everyone, its really helpful to have other people know where I'm coming from!

hey hun :wave:

It worries me that you say you cant see how emotionally you can handle it!! Pregnancy is a rollercoaster of rides and it already you dont know how you would cope I think your setting yourself up to fall!!

You also say the would be dad you would marry in a second but yet in your opening sentence you said how sex was regreted!!! Why regret it if you love him??

You also said you regretted not using protection but then go on to say that you want to be pregnant??!!

Sorry but it all confused me!!

Well it's not that I can't handle it, I suppose I phrased that wrong, it's just that I wish to know better ways of coping with the stress that has come from it, but I do understand if I am I'm in for an emotional rollercoaster. That I'm prepared for.

I don't regret it because it was with the wrong person we just had previous plans to wait until marriage to have sex and I guess its less the having sex that I regret as much as the consequences that followed.

And I do regret not using protection because I want children but certainly not now when I still have school to finish. It's not that I want to be it's just that I sort of feel I am and I wouldn't be horrified if I was.

I hope that sorts it out a little. If not just ask, I don't mind.

I just wanted to give you some inspiration. I had my son when I was 16 with a wonderful guy. We did have some rocky moments but now have been happily married for 5 years, our son is 10, and were hoping to add a baby to the mix soon. Teen pregnancy doesnt always work that way but dont ever lose hope if you find out you are pregnant. Hope I helped
