How To Get Pregnant

I used to be on medication for panic disorder and depression. I’ve struggled with both for over a decade and some doctors have mentioned that I fit the criteria for the mild form of bipolar disorder, but an official diagnosis has never been made.

I quit my medication several months ago because my husband and I wanted to try for a baby. I did fine until my dog passed away, who was like a child to me and a source of support, and I graduated and began working as a substitute teacher.

Over the past few weeks, I have been feeling very worthless, praying that God will just take me, and really wanting my life to end. I’ve not been answering calls to substitute teach and when I do, I often go to work with only two or three hours of sleep. I have been having periods of hours at a time when I feel I cannot breathe and I cry so much.

I am a little over 11 weeks pregnant and I really am afraid of what medication may do to the baby. But I feel like I am spiraling out of control. I’m not even excited about the baby like I feel I should be. I wanted to tell my doctor this, but I always seem to try to make everything seem like it is okay on the outside, then go home and suffer.

I have a therapist, but after two years of therapy she said I seemed like I was doing well. I did request an appointment with her about a week after my dog passed because I was so attached to him and felt like God took my dog because I got pregnant. I know that’s not rational, but I know I’m not the most sane person at the moment. She wasn’t very sympathetic and just wanted to congratulate me on my pregnancy.

I don’t know whether to call my OB or not. My anxiety has gotten really bad in the past week or so. I just don’t know what he could do.

Any suggestions on what to do?

Definitely talk to your OB/GYN, they can help you figure out what to do. Anxiety is not a fun thing I can agree to that. But you need to do whats best for you & baby now.

1 of my female cats isn’t fixed, and she got out about 2 weeks ago and my fiance and I caught her with a male tom cat "in the act" right there in the driveway. Anyways.. for the past month or so.. she has been meowing so deep and loud. almost like a howl!.. I thought that after they do the deed and become pregnant, they stop that!.. She is also rubbing non stop, acting all playful and silly, wanting to go back outside every time the door opens,and SUPERRR affectionate. BUT, she isn’t walking low to the ground with her tail straight up as if she was in heat..

Also, we have caught her spraying on the walls of the garage, and the bushes right outside out front door.. Why is this???!

Any help or advice is highly appreciated. thanks.
Also, when will I be able to tell if she in fact got pregnant??. I mean, we did see her in the act with the male cat.. BUT, i am sure not every time they do the deed.. she get pregnant..

Cats will not continue to be in heat after they get pregnant. Whether she is pregnant or not, you should take her and have her spayed immediately. That way she will be neither in heat nor pregnant, and there won’t be another litter of unplanned, unwanted kittens in the world.

I’ve just started my second week of my second month of birth control. I’m taking Necon 1/35 (28). Since I’ve been on the pill I’ve taken it around 8 pm and sometimes 9 pm but I have never missed a day. I’ve been feeling nauseous and having headaches. I’ve had unprotected sex after 3 weeks of starting my first month an I got my period when I was supposed to. I had unprotected sex again but my boyfriend did not ejaculate inside me so I’m pretty sure that I’m not pregnant. Could these just be my body gettin used to the pill?

It takes your body a few months to get used to the new hormones.

My last period was on 16th december 2011, with 30 days cycle my ovulation most likely occured on 31st december 2011 or 1st january 2012, also during these days I had maximum amount of EWCM….
we did unprotected sex on 31st December 2011 and 2nd January 2012……..

What are the chances of geting pregnant??????

If I am pregnant, When I get Implantation Bleeding ????????

When I have to take a pregnany test?????????

Sex during these days are safe for pregnancy?????

The only way to get your answer to all of these questions is if you take a pregnancy test, and/or see your doctor for a blood test and a urine test. There is a good chance you could be pregnant, but to find out for sure, is if you take a test♥♥♥

I wa ssupposed to start back my birth control pills (that I was on for 5 years)..on around Dec 5th..I havent taken them and am trying to get pregnant.. when should I take a test? I dont wanna waste it
thanks

You have to wait for about a month to six months for your body to return to the pre-pill status.
Once your menstrual cycle returns to the(pill-free) normal regular cycle, then you can plan for pregnancy.

With correct usage 98% with average usage 81%

I am 19 weeks and the last time I had my period was Nov. 10th. I just forgot to ask my doctor the first I went to the doctors.

They have Due Date calculators on the internet, and they tell you when you concieved.

I had my period at the end of august and beginning of September so when i found out i was pregnant I assumed i must have conceived somewhere around the 9th of september or so but i just found out im only six weeks and that puts the date of conception more toward the 25th ….so i guess the real question is is it possible to ovulate so long after the first day of your period or right before you should have started
ok cant figure out how to respond ..but i really like some of the answers i received one person was pretty rude ..hunny I’m so happy I’m pregnant with my second blessing ..it was just a question curiosity is a sign of intelligence…thank you for your answers they helped me lady’s

It can and does happen. While, its more likely for a woman to ovulate in the middle of her cycle. ovulation times can change and vary each month. There are a lot of factors that can influence ovulation. so, even if you don’t think your ovulating, you should still always use protection, just to be safe. but your pregnant now. will have to make the best of it.

good luck to you.

Of course, urethra and vagina are two different openings. Missed periods would most likely be your first sign of pregnancy

Women talk about having control over their bodies as far as abortion but i never hear them talk about not getting pregnant in the first place???? First let me say i am not talking about under age girls who get pregnant..or women who are raped..i am talking about women who are of age and consent to have sex. I got pregnant in college because i allowed my guy at the time to have sex with me WITHOUT A CONDOM..when i got pregnant i did not act surprised or act like a victim because i knew i should have used protection. I am apart of a women empowerment group and when the discussion of abortion comes up its always about is it right is it wrong should it be legal….im neither pro choice or pro life..im pro protection and not getting pregnant to begin with!!!! I know we don’t live in a perfect world and all pregnancy’s are not planned or wanted..and a woman can do whatever she wants with her body…but i find that alot of women don’t want to take accountability for their actions when they get pregnant and feel they have to justify their decisions to everyone..and that is what bothers me. The women in the group were all making statements about a woman’s right to choose to abort having control over her body… which is true but when i bring up the topic of having control over their bodies BEFORE THEY GET PREGNANT everyone get silent!!?? WTF!! No one wants to talk about the irresponsibility on the parts of women whom are having sex raw and having multiple abortions…i feel that PREVENTING pregnancy from the get go should be our groups main focus and not just advocating abortion because there is enough of that already. I know so many women who have multiple abortions because they refuse to protect themselves and then want someone to feel sorry for them when the get pregnant!!!!!!! Some of the women agreed with me but some of the radical types even advocate all women under 30 having abortion one even said it doesn’t matter if a woman is protecting herself or not…its still her choice to do as she pleases with her body..which is true but how can we advocate women’s rights and not advocate women taking responsibility for their sex lives and being pro active about their health???
@angela-no their are women who know they do not want to get pregnant and dont get pregnant they use more than on form of birth control…or the simply abstain from sex…if animals who have a lower intellegence than humans can control thier reproduction..why cant we???????????????????

I believe you are right. When I was 16 I was on birth control (and taking it correctly and on time, mind you) and I still got pregnant. Although it was clearly unplanned, I could not blame anyone except for me and my boyfriend. I was not forced into sex. I had a miscarriage at about 7 weeks.

After that, I definitely learned my lesson. I couldn’t even blame the failed birth control, because I still chose to have sex, knowing that sex can lead to pregnancy. Since I knew I did not want to get pregnant again, I decided to be abstinent. And if you knew how high my sex drive was and still is, you would know it was not a difficult thing for me to do, but I did it. I don’t see any reason why more women can’t do it. I found myself masturbating multiple times a day, every day, but still went years without actual sex. Now that I’m happily married, I’m still not planning on having a baby yet, so I do use birth control. But since I am financially stable and have support from my husband, I feel that I should be able to have sex and if I do get pregnant, we will both be very happy and we will have everything we need to support our child. We did not get married and have sex until we knew we had the resources to take care of a baby.
