I know you'll all just tell me to POAS, but I need to ask the pregnancy experts before I can get to a store. My husband will think I'm crazy, so I need your help!
I am on the pill, but started spotting a few days ago. I almost never spot, and I've been on this pill 5 years. The last time we were in bed together and DH was fooling around with my boobs, I almost couldn't stand him touching my nipples. That was probably last week. Today, I looked at the nipples and it looked like there were really pronounced white spots on them, which I googled and seems to be a symptom.
I am having some slight cramps occasionally, but nothing weird. No nausea or anything. Is this just a pill anomaly?

Is it a low dose pill? If you missed it by a few hours one day 2 weeks ago, you can get PMS or pregnancy symptoms around the time your period would be due. But, yeah, POAS. My boobs hurting was when I knew for sure I was pg with #1, even though it was so early and the test was negative. I said to myself "wait 4 days and test again." He's 5.

No, it's not a low dose pill. I've missed one or taken one late here or there, but I've been pretty faithful in the last month or two (or so I thought).
It wouldn't be the first test I've ever bought. I'm concerned DH will think I'm a nutter. UGH.

You'll feel better after you POAS. You won't be anywhere near the first - or millionth - woman to do so despite being on reliable BC.

Did you start any medications a few weeks ago? Antibiotics can reduce effectiveness.
There really isn't any PG symptom that isn't also a PMS symptom or otherwise right-off-able as something else.

Yup, about once a year something odd happens and I convince myself there is a remote possibility of being pregnant and I go buy a test.
Even if you are PG, I swear its not the worst thing ever like i thought it was DS is cool.
I feel the same way
But I get being freaked out, too. Whenever I make a comment about not feeling well, the first words out of both S.O.'s and my mother's mouths are, "Are you pregnant again?"
And even if it's not likely, I start freaking out thinking I could be and don't feel better until I POAS.

Fo shizzle.
you told me your kid was the best surprise ever and i appreciated that, i must say. and of course you were right.
moxie - its just different with kids! you plan accordingly. andhonestly, i just say fuck it and take ds with me. dont worry pce, never to fancy restaurants where no one wants kids. lol.
You know, I get the rah, rah surprise pregnancies are awesome and kids are great and best things ever and all that shit, but really, doing it here really rubs me the wrong way and makes assumptions that don't need to be made at this point.

Op, I hope all is well.
That wasn't my intention - and you should know that, considering I cried for months about being pg. My first choice was an abortion, which was NOT Dh's first choice. Thats how we have DS.
I dont really see a problem with saying 'if you have an unintented pg it doesn't have to be terrible'. Especially since I'm also a vocal pro-choicer.

When I found out about my pregnancy I found it exceedingly helpful to hear similar positive stories from eclaires and Irish, etc.
The op has not confirmed that she is pg. or that of she is pg, if she has any intention of keeping the pg. but yet the thread turned in to a "MAH baby is the best thing ever, you'll love your oops just like I did, YAY!!" and it's uncalled for here. Keep the assvice till there is at least a reason to give it.

No it didn't.
A full third of the responses before my comment were about how great oops babies are. Yes it did.

That said, no one is really doing that here.
I found the same to be VERY helpful and reassuring. Honestly, this board kept me sane during my whole pg.
And it would be totally different if I was a vocal pro-lifer who obviously wouldn't support that choice. I was very open about my intention to have an abortion.
Anyways heyjude, apparently trying to be supportive is being an ass. Who knew!

I love to hear you say that. Gives me heart. Last night we had to take our dog to the emergency doctor and I freaked out like "how do people do this with KIDS?!"

If the OP is offended, I'll apologize, seeing as it's not your thread . . . . But like HeyJude and Laurier, I found those responses helpful when I found out I was PG.

Jesus. I am not calling for an apology or even saying that the op would be offended. I'm just saying that it's pretty premature to be offering such assurance when there is no evidence that there is a pg at all, much less one that will be kept. And that premature assumption runs ME the wrong way because it feels like an excuse to make those in that position feel better about themselves, rather than support the op.
