My girlfriend might be pregnant. She took a test once the other day and it came up blank. She is showing a few signs that might make things seem worse. Any advice? Also her parents are total asshats and she doesn't really have anyone else to talk to. Her parents could either kick her or kick her out. My parents would probably kick me out and I just recently got hired for a part time/as needed job. I really need some advice, if anyone can help.

well i guess you never thought about using birthcontrol.. as we all know what causes pregancty... stand up and be a man and take the responsabilty... your old enough even though the job area is limited..

Well she would've been on birth control if her parents even half cared enough to get her a normal checkup. She has an extremely hard time finding a job, has only been through High School even though she's 20. She is broker than broke so she can't afford much. And we both are taking responsibility and we're trying to come up with a plan

There is always pulling the plug on it but that is a personal choice. The earlier the better.

Then again if you can't better brace up and make plans to take on the responsibility. If it means moving out well...

Play with fire and ya may get burned...

Doc,

First of all, get confirmation that she is indeed pregnant. Then, you two need to seriously talk to each other about the future. Before you give yourself an ulcer, make sure that there is reason to stress. It is not good for either one of you. Then, communicate openly and honestly with one another. Ties with parents are hard to break. But, you two CAN overcome.

If she is not pregnant, maybe you can help her get to the doctor to ensure that she is on some kind of birth control. If not, invest in condoms. Better to be safe than sorry, especially of you are not ready.

She's in her 20's and it's her parents' responsibility to get her a checkup and put her on birth control? What about you, never heard of condoms? Sheesh, no wonder you're freaking, neither one of you is anywhere remotely responsible enough for a baby.

First off, find out for sure if she'd pregnant, plenty of free clinics around. If she is, you do have options aside from keeping the baby. And if I were you, I'd opt for one of those

how does a pregnancy test come back 'blank'?

the only times i've ever taken the tests, there was either a positive, or a negative, result.

Wow, someone comes in looking for advice and automatically gets the smash and bash parade, welcome to mingle!! drinker

Yea, like the ladies said, be sure first, don't stress it till there is something to stress about, and then STRESS LIKE CRAZY!!!!!

just kidding.

Dump the part time/as needed crap. I mean hold on to it until you find something but you need to get on the ball and get your life in order pretty quick, baby or otherwise. Construction/Surveying are easy jobs to get, it's hard work but it's steady and in the end a decent profession. Flip through papers and put a resume out there, don't wait on one to "come to you," go out and get one. She probably needs to be doing something in the meantime as well, y'all are in this mess together and need to work together to make something happen, just my opinion of course.

Step two, she's not going to be able to work for a couple months if she's pregnant and she's not going to be pulling in much money on a short term job, will probably save you both a lot of headache if one of you can stay home with the kid, and one that young, probably better her if you've got higher credentials.

Life is tough man, and you're about to find that out real quick so fasten your seatbelt and get ready. I don't have a lot of time but know this.
1. You're not going to get the job you want and it's probably not going to make you happy.
2. You've got a lot to go through and a fast learning curve ahead, so muster up some motivation and make it happen.
3. Your chances of survival through this thing, if you are prepared to work hard and make some sacrifices, is fair. Don't let it drag you down, let it make you a stronger person.

Maybe once you get working for a while you can start chasing the money a little but for now put first things first, man up, grab the bull by the horns and take charge of your life. My best advice ever. If you need someone to talk to let me know and I'll try to help.

One last note, get out of the mindset of parents are asshats, or whatever it was. They may be, but you might need a little help and being the bigger person, taking a little grief, and trying to get along when anyone else would quit will go a long way. Later and good luck.

If she isn't pregnant I highly advice she go to the local health dept. and get herself put on birth control. They can also help her apply for medicaid until she can find a job an be able to pay for the birth control herself. Every health dept has a gyn/ob staff. An birth control is free for those that can not afford it or have no insurance to pay for it. Other wise, stop havin sex. There's also condoms which are readily available an inexpensive. However, not 100% effective. Nuthin quite frankly is 100% effective other than not havin sex.
If you're mature enough to have sex than you are mature enough to take responsibility for the consequences. shades

She couldve cotton bc for free at planned parenthood. Her parents never have to know. If you are keeping the baby it's time to forget what the parents are gonna do or say and be grown ups yourselves and start Making grown up plans. Everything you do now has to be in the best intrest of the child!

Thanks for the comments, I try sometimes. After sleeping on it for a day I realize that you can also get a morning after pill from any pharmacy for 50 bucks. Just for future reference. Went that route one time even though "she" said it was unneccessary. Little late for that if your taking pregnancy tests though I would think.
