(disregard the username i am not a cuck)

awhile ago (4/21/26) me and my girlfriend had unprotected sex. i penetrated her for less than a minute both days combined. it was both our first time. it was mostly oral, and she sucked my dick both times before i put it in. i did not finish inside of her. we are very afraid of pregnancy. we both know it was a terrible mistake, and now we just want to know what the chances of pregnancy are. Her period finished the day before we first tried it. i am just worried about the precum and how long the sperm will live inside of her. she is currently ovulating, and started it yesterday. she said that she can tell by her skin getting clearer and she is overall hornier on her ovulation. she is using a tracking app (although apparently those aren’t as reliable as we thought)  but she said she can tell by the changes in her body. might be TMI but there was blood on my penis after the first day, although that might be because of it being our first time. it could also be leftover blood from her period, because she had ended it like the day before.

i have been constantly fearing that she may be pregnant. we are both very young.

UPDATE:

it is now a week after the last time we had unprotected sex. she is noticing bleeding after masturbation. we are guessing that this is because of her hyman streatching. i fingered her yesterday, and noticed blood on my fingers.

UPDATE 2

4/29/26

she is noticing signs.

she said that her stoumach feels more firm and it hurts to stand up and sit. we’ve also been walking over 2 hours every day to and from school together, which had never happened before. she is relatively tiny.

Car Accident @ 4w?

I was just in a front hit accident while I was stopped at a stop sign. The hit was hard enough to scuff my knee on the dash, but no more than 15 miles per hour I'd say. I'm trying to get in touch with my OB office to ask advice, and they haven't answered any of my calls or voicemails. I had my first checkup for 8 to 10 weeks on May 21st. Is there any concern I should have about miscarrying? Should I go to the ER or is that even a possibility with how early I still am? I'm trying to move the appointment to as soon as possible.

Anyone similar????

So listen…. Help please…

I don’t know if anyone else is struggling with this but I’m 16 days late I usually have a 32 day cycle and I ovulated on march 27th (CD 24)

I got inseminated march 25th and 26th (home insemination)

Started testing faint positives 18 dpo (6 days after initial missed period)

They have stayed faint and I have all the pregnancy symptoms (slightly darker each test)

I am now 29 dpo 🫶🏼

No bleeding or pain

Doctors won’t see me yet as I’m not close to 8 weeks yet 😩

Any thoughts or similar situations?

Option of removing unborn baby

My baby is strong and has a strong heart beat, I’m 17.5 weeks but I’ve been advised it’s best to have the baby removed or give birth naturally. The baby has cleft lip/pallet, and the head is measuring small where the brain didn’t develop properly.

I’m struggling on stopping the heart beat and I’m debating continuing the pregnancy. It sounds crazy but I’d rather give the baby the best chance rather than stopped the heart unnaturally.

Is there anyone that has been through this or similar? I need all the views and opinions I can get because the heart is such a special thing🥺

Need some help

My boyfriend and I are in our 20s. We’ve been together for about 5 years and haven’t used protection for about 3 of those years. We have intercourse every other day when i’m at my highest point of fertility according to my app. I haven’t even had a scare and it’s kind of worrying me. I’m looking for some advice on what I should be doing to better increase my chances of pregnancy. Thanks.

Late period but negative pregnancy test from the dollar store.

Hey yall, I’m 23(f) and my husband 28(m) is TTC. I went to the gyno to make sure all of my reproductive organs were functioning properly and to see if I happened to have PCOS. I had a chemical pregnancy a couple months prior to going to The doctor, when I went they did a vaginal ultrasound and told me I didn’t have PCOS “this time” as what he said. They did blood work but only told me I’m vitamin D deficient and my thyroid wasn’t working properly and that’s why it was hard for me to lose weight. I asked them if they could prescribe me something to help me ovulate and they told me to lose weight first and come back in 3 months. My periods have always been very consistent up until the month I went to the gyno(prior to starting my medication). This month I’m actually 8 days late and I took a dollar store pregnancy test that came out negative. The only thing I do have is very mild heartburn and I get waves of nausea every now and then. My breasts aren’t sore and I did have cramping a little over a week ago thinking I was going to start but I haven’t. A few days ago I called the gyno to make an appointment to see if they can test my progesterone and other hormones and have yet to have them call me back. What is going on?!

How would y’all deal with this situation?

I just found out I’m pregnant I’m almost about six weeks and last time I told my family almost immediately! My sister however had an early miscar at the beginning of this month so I’ve been putting off telling them for now. I know my sister and family will be happy for us but I feel like I want us all to have more time to grieve the lost baby. What would yall do?

I need opinions

I have PCOS and have been trying for a baby for a while now. I got pregnant that ended in a missed mc back in the beginning of the year in 2025. I got my last menstrual period on March 7th 2026. Then proceeded to get a HSG procedure on the 16th of March 2026. It delayed my ovulation. But then spotted for about 6 days from March 28th to about April 2nd 2026. I then had sex on the 5th and 7th of April. I got my first positive pregnancy test and clear blue digital on April 20th 2026. I tested everyday before that and there was no positives not even a faint line. So the 20th is the earliest I could’ve gotten a positive. I got an ultrasound today on April 27th and it showed absolutely nothing. Please someone help me figure out how far along I am. I’m so scared that it’s ectopic or something is wrong.

How old is biologically too old to try?

This is a simple question.
It's not about reflecting any kind of judgement on an individual, or on anybody's choices.

For context only, the question is about a Mother being a surrogate, helping her kids have a family when they can't conceive. She is 45~46, otherwise healthy, doesn't smoke, looks after her health, still menstruating and open to medical assistance if it turns out she's not ovulating.

I know the basics, that risks increase for mum and baby over 40.

There are two parts to this question:

  1. What are the risks and potential issues if she tries to conceive. (Donated Sperm.)
  2. Are the risks less, if she were to use donated eggs and undergo IVF?

Deseo ser mamá de nuevo

Hace cuatro días tuve un aborto, mi bebé no creció, por FUM tenía 9.3 semanas mientras que él se quedó de 6.2 semanas. Me dieron medicamento (Misoprostol) para lograr expulsar todo ya que el proceso iba lento. Física y emocionalmente ha sido muy duro, pasan muchas cosas por mi cabeza, era un bebé muy deseado. Cabe mencionar que ya tengo hijos pero es la primera vez que me pasa esto. Aún deseo volver a ser mamá, sin embargo por mi edad (39) no puedo esperar mucho.

Alguien que haya pasado por algo similar?, qué me aconsejan? Cuánto tiempo esperaron para volver a intentarlo? Cómo se cuidaron? Utilizaron suplementos? Cómo lograron embazarse de nuevo?

Help

i recently found out im pregnant. im 20 years old and live on my own. the babies father, already has a 2year old and lives with his ex girlfriend co parenting, or at least thats what he says. He is 19 years old. We havent been seeing eachother for very long, about 80 days. And at the start we really meshed with eachother and understood eachother and i felt really safe within his company. He talked about financial struggles, and problems that he had which i was happy to always listen too. I really enjoyed all the time me and him spent together and i felt like me and him really got along. Previously, before i found out i was pregnant we had a conversation about a previous abortion that i had which was the most traumatic thing i have ever experienced and i told him i would never go through with it again. I then found out i was pregnant about 2 weeks ago, i told him and he isnt best pleased, he keeps saying things like ‘i dont want this for myself’ and ‘i cant keep running around for other people’ but my life is also changing drastically. I dont want to go through with another termination as it was an all time low for me. But i just feel like he isn’t going to be there or help in anyway way possible. His messages have gone blunt, and he just doesn’t seem interested in wanting to talk to me anymore, im trying to put the effort it, but he never even asks me if im okay or how im feeling, when i make sure to always ask him how he is doing. Im just finishing my Level 4, and im supposed to be going to uni in September, and i dont want to give up my career, i feel like I cant do it on my own, but i really would regret not keeping the baby.

How do I (28 weeks) choose the right size about birthing ball?

Lately, I’ve been dealing with more and more discomfort: when I’m sitting at my desk for a while and my lower back starts aching, or when I try to get up from the couch and my hips feel really tight and stiff. Even simple things like putting on shoes or turning over in bed have started to feel uncomfortable. I used to enjoy walking, but lately even short walks make me sweat a lot. It’s all kind of adding up, so I started looking into birthing balls to help relieve some of this.

I’m considering getting one, but I’m honestly not sure how to choose the right size because I'm not very tall, only 5'2''.

ear infection during pregnancy… anyone else go through this?

Just needed to vent a bit because i was not expecting an ear infection to be this intense while pregnant. the pain was honestly overwhelming, deep and constant, and it went on for almost two days straight. couldn’t sleep, couldn’t focus, just stuck dealing with it. not being able to take certain pain meds didn’t help, and the antibiotics took time to kick in, so it felt like there wasn’t much relief in the moment. i get now why kids struggle so much with this kind of pain.

I’m pretty sure i picked it up from being around sick kids, and it feels like i’ve been catching everything this whole pregnancy, which is just exhausting at this point.

checked my ear with a small camera (bebird) at one point just trying to understand what was going on, but it looked normal from what i could tell, which made it more confusing. has anyone else dealt with something like this during pregnancy, and how did you get through it?

No heartbeat on 8 - 10 week sonogram, placental sac undersized on scan.

Went down with her for the sonogram after 2 positive urine tests. they took one across her belly then did a second internal scan because the first scan looked odd.

Lima bean sized spot is all that shows up, just a black space on the scan.

They did a urine test there which passed, tool blood for a different test and said for us to come back for another scan next week.

For context both of us are older, 48 for me, shes 2 months from 48, both first pregnancy so we knew there could be issues.

Any chance of the next scan being better as this was just too early or is this worst case?
