| Are you pregnant? |
| Well, ..... are you? You should be asking yourself this question if you've been having sex. Even if you have been using multiple birth control methods. You can still get pregnant while your on birth control, I got pregnant with my second child while I was on the pill. The only sure way for you not to get pregnant is to use the only 100% effective birth control method. Im sure you already have guessed it, and heard it a thousand times,..... Abstenince. Not having sex is a sure way of not getting pregnant. (duh). |
| Here I have a list of signs and symptoms that you could possibly be pregnant. Remember though, you could have some or all of these and still not be pregnant. There are other reasons for not getting your period, So I also have listed the other possible causes. I want to thank Eisenburg, Murkoff, and Hathoway, the authors of " What To Expect When Your Expecting" ...Because That book is where i got the information for this page. |
