    Well i'm 3 days late for my period, hoping its just stress but there was some funlovingtime around fertile time. Part of me wants to just go buy a test to set my mind at ease that I'm not pregnant, but the other part would rather not know right now. Not on birth control, no protection used (yes I know very stupid for someone not trying to conceive), yes I am stressed see my thread about my roommate moving out on me. Last months period was right on time as usual but was only regular for about 4 hours then light, then days of spotting and cramps. My DD is 15, im a single mom in the home stretch!! I cant be a single mom again and I'm not sure if thisbabydaddy would want to raise a child with me or not. All these things are making me stress more. Not sure if I should tell him I'm late, or just wait and test and not have to say a thing if its neg or to break the news to him if its positive. Is it to early to test? should I wait it out and save money on a test? kinda starting to panic. I dont have the feeling my periods coming, my breasts started getting sore yesterday, peeing a lot more yesterday and today, like every hour, extremely tired, and the nose is uber sensitive. all these things can point to period or preggos. mother nature is so confusing.
    “There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.”

    I would go ahead and get a test, THEN worry about single-momming, baby-daddy, what-do-I-do-next stuff.It's best to know.

    You're gonna make yourself start throwing up next.  Just relax.  And buy a box of condoms! @MorganD is right, find out FIRST, panic LATER!
    Bite me, cupcake!

    @sunnymomma I have so been there. I have 2 teenagers, 15 and 17 and the last thing I wanted was to be a mom again. Last year my period was late, and we didn't use any type of protection. I was stressing hard core. I dodged the bullet and got an iud!

    If you have a planned parenthood near you they do free pregnancy tests. That could save you some money. But get a test, you will drive yourself crazy if you don't!

    You can pick up some tests on the cheap at the dollar store and they are really accurate
