Well, it finally happened.

I'm having a kid. My girlfriend normally has her period before the 23rd. The 24th we went and bought an EPT test (we've been worried about this for three weeks). It was positive, but it's alot less accurate if it's a few days before your expected period... so we thought (hoped) maybe she was just a little late. Well, it's five days later now, and I don't think it's going to happen. She keeps saying she can feel it (her period) coming. Is that normal in the first few weeks of pregnancy? This couldn't have happened at a worse time. Our roommate just moved out, we're really struggling just to make the bills. I've been trying to save up for a car.. She doesn't even want to talk about it. So I'm having to tip-toe around it when it's all I can think about. I asked her if she was the least bit excited, and she gave me a simple "No."

From my understanding, if it says positive, it's pretty fucking accurate that there is a pregnancy. However, if it says negative, there is still a marginal chance that it could be wrong.
Look like you're gonna have a baby. Good luck

Its not like you don't have options. It doesn't sound like she's too happy about the idea of being pregnant, but if she says she feels her period coming, I'd believe her. Periods are not like clockwork all the time, sometimes stress or depression or other things can put them off track and sometimes you can even skip a month in rare cases. So just because she's a week off doesn't mean she's pregnant.
Take another test, and if your fears are confirmed, go to a doctor and confirm it again. Make sure you talk to her about what YOU want, as it is not entirely her decision.

Well you've given me more hope anyway. I might buy another pregnancy test, but going to the doctor about it right now is out of the question. Like I said, we're strapped for cash.
There's something else that makes me think she has to be getting her period soon.... but it's personal and is just a little too gross to mention here.
And if she is, I really don't have options. There's no way I can talk her into having an abortion. Adoption, forget that. As soon as that baby comes, there's no question whether we'll be keeping it or not. And I'll definitely be telling her about how I feel about it. I'm just treading lightly right now because it's, well, stressful.

I heard coat hangers in the late night work. But that is only from word of mouth I have not read any reputable scientific research on the topic.

If she's pregnant and will want to keep it, then she really should go to a doctor. If she's young and unmarried and poor she can get government assistance and won't have to pay hardly anything. You can't just NOT go to a doctor.
Or better yet, go to a Planned Parenthood or something like that. That type of place usually does free pregnancy tests, just like you'd get at the doctors office.

dont stress yet man. my last girlfriend was on the pill and her fucking period was all over the place. it wasnt ever the same, or on time.
give it 1-2 more weeks, then go get a real test at the doctor.
and if neither of you want a kid. get it taken care of.

I'm kinda in your situation. My girl missed her period by a little over a week so far. She's scared to get a test because of what it might say though. I say just get one so she stops freaking out. Never had unprotected sex and never had a condom break. The only possibility is if my soldiers went under around and through.
Regardless, I wish you good luck.

You know, it kind of makes me sick how at the mere mention of a late period, the coat hanger jokes come out. Apparently you guys have zero comprehension of the seriousness of abortion.
