good luck to you hun

Alley Garrity Answered:
If you never had your period, than your chances are very unlikely to be pregnant. But you should wait at least a week or two, to take a test. If it comes out positive. Call your doctor. They will make u take a test and they can keep it private, between you two. They will call you with your results. And if you are pregnant, ask about your options.

We have women’s reproductive rights, but where are men’s rights?

Asked: We have women’s reproductive rights, but where are men’s rights?

We have women's reproductive rights, but where are men's rights? They are non-existent. Since a woman cannot become pregnant on her own, she should not be entitled to 100% of the decision-making (unless she opts for sperm implantation, obviously). It takes two people to make the child; and both are entitled to their decision. Thus, if one party is not ready for a child at this point in his/her life, they should not be held responsible and are entitled to have their parental rights waived.

It is amazing how so few have zero problem with telling a man to put on a condom, but fail to address the issue at hand which is that women enjoy being promiscuous, with no relevant consequences after an unwanted pregnancy, yet men are held to task at the whim of a women.

We see how women feel when being told that they can't have abortions. They are all up in arms.

If we are to be equal, men must be given their freedom of being able to walk away just as irresponsibly as the woman can. Then their will be equality. If a woman wants to have a baby, she can, and she can pay for it by herself.
Marriage doesn't hold water, because she can still abort.

i agree. that is a logical argument and holds some moral ground. however, the constitution disagrees and hence here we are.

Nobody has ever taken away your right to get a vasectomy.A safe, inexpensive outpatient procedure, unlike the equivalent for women.

All you want is the right to not pay child support.Well the rest of us are sick of supporting your children for you.

Joe Conrad Answered:
The whole society is screwed up concerning this.

I don't have a lot of thoughts on this, except I hope that Roe is overturned and kept overturned forever until the end of time and I hope that women and men both don't like it and feel as oppressed as hell.

UNCOLA Answered:
You have the absolute right to keep it in your pants.When you are physically able to carry a baby then it can be up to you.

Jay Answered:
Michael Perex,

You make a fair point.It takes two to, um, tango.

If a man (or teenage boy, for that matter) really doesn't want any responsibility for a child, then he can sign away all rights.End of story.

wizjp Answered:
You have the right to walk away from any woman who is capable of giving birth if you have sex with her.

you have the right to limit your sexual activity to women who can not get pregnant or to men.

You have the right to a vasectomy

You have the right to use 2 condoms at a time.

You do not have the right to whine and cry if you get someone pregnantif you ignore the other options.

fangtaiyang Answered:
Your argument is a bit skewed.Men actually do have some reproductive rights.They can choose whether or not to have sex with a woman and whether or not to use birth control methods.A man has the choice of whether or not to suggest that a woman have an abortion.Men do not have the right to order a woman to have an abortion, or to not have one because it is not their body that will be affected.If a baby is born out of wedlock it is the responsibility of both mother and father to raise the child.

Guess Who Answered:
You have the right to keep it zipped up.

If pregnancy were caused by a virus, I would agree with you.

Don't ever have sex with a woman who you don't want to be the mother of your child. Simple.

Gwennie B Answered:
Because of the biological reality of pregnancy, it is a woman who suffers all of its attendant risks and problems.

A woman is the one who risks her physical health; by choosing to carry a pregnancy to term and giving birth, the odds of suffering maternal morbidity (i.e. both short and long-term health problems) of her reproductive organs, bladder, and pelvis are fairly high (this is with labor; if she undergoes cesarean instead, she takes on the risks that accompany major abdominal surgery). In a small percentage of the time, she may very well be risking her life. In addition, a man is under no legal obligation to provide for obstetric and prenatal care, nor the costs associated with birth (either in a hospital or on one's own with a midwife). If he does not want to contribute, the costs are her responsibility alone.

A woman is the one who must suffer the interruption to her life; her career and livelihood may be put on hold for the duration of the pregnancy. She is the one who may suffer pregnancy discrimination when seeking employment, and in the U.S., the government only mandates that she be provided with unpaid maternity leave (other countries typically offer paid maternity leave).

A woman is the one who will be forced to endure the social consequences of pregnancy; while she may "out" the father, nothing short of a DNA test will conclusively brand him with the label of father. By the visible nature of pregnancy, it is the woman who will be seen and judged by her community.

In all cases, when it comes to pregnancy, a woman is the one who bears all of the costs; until birth, fathers have little to none. THAT is why it makes sense for a woman to have complete control over a pregnancy- if she is the one who is affected by it, then she, not the father, is the one who should get final say about it (that's not to say that women can't include their partners in the discussion; I'm all for that).

If you want to reform the way we view fatherhood, father's rights, and child support after birth, then that's fine by me. But when a woman is pregnant, decisions about the pregnancy are hers and hers alone.

Goldfly252000 Answered:
You have sex so you have to be willing to pay. Don't tell me that it is impossible not to have sex either. All you have to do if you want to have all the sex you want is have a vasectomy. Then you won't breed and you won't need a condom.

NancyStone — Fri, 18 May 2012 04:35:39 +0000

Darcy Anshaw Asked: Could the Dr. be wrong? Am u still pregnant?

I've had a U/S @ 8.5week's & the Dr. could see the baby, but couldn't detect the heart beat. I went & saw my Dr. straight after the U/S & he said I have or will miscarry. I don't won't to believe it, I'm only 17 with my 1st pregnancy.

My Dr. also told me that I had a choice of letting the miscarry go naturally or have a D&C I don't know what it mean's or what it does & I'm due to have a D&C this Wednesday coming.

Could the Dr. be wrong, or could the baby just be in a difficult place to hear the HB?
Please help, I'm worried! Could the baby still be alive.

Thankyou.

Anyone experienced thrush in the very early stages of pregnancy?

Lilith Asked: Anyone experienced thrush in the very early stages of pregnancy?

I have a really bad case of thrush at the moment with white, thick, lumpy discharge and I'm very sore.

It's been many years since I've had thrush with the discharge so am wondering what is causing this.I have not been on antibiotics, i only wear cotton underwear and always allow myself to breathe at night.The other cause which I've read about is pregnancy due to the hormones which leads me to my question…. has anyone out there experienced thrush during the very early stages of pregnancy?

My period is due on Saturday so I'm not sure that I am pg but I've had swollen breasts and light cramping for over a week now.

Answers:

Gina Answered:
You should go to the doctor because if it is thrush then you need to be on antibiotics. Regardless though you should go to the doctor and get checked out. Good luck!

Std’s and pregnancy help!?

NancyStone — Wed, 16 May 2012 04:38:09 +0000

Asked: Std’s and pregnancy help!?

The day after I found out I was pregnant, my boyfriend cheated on me. But I took him back after a couple months, I am now 22 weeks and stupid as hell because he's still cheating on me! We don't use condoms because the latex irritates my skin. And I doubt he used condoms when he was cheating on me. I am going to request a test at my appointment, but until then can anyone help me? What happens if I get chlamydia or something curable, and what happens if I got herpes or something horrible like that?!! I have had itchyness that comes and goes, I thought it was a yeast infection at first but lasted for 3 days and went away for a week and came back for a few days… Also my discharge does have a slight odor to it that is different from my normal scent. I am so scared! What about my baby?!
