Thread: I want to know! I may be pregnant or maybe not...

Doctor's tests should generally be accurate within a month. If the idea of being pregnant is really weighing on your mind, you can probably get an ultrasound by now ... if there was a fetus, it would be visible. I've heard of periods during pregnancy and inaccurate tests, but I've never heard of an invisible placenta

Don't worry too much about infertility. There are LOTS of options for people who can't conceive "normally," and they're only getting better with time (just like your body, at least for the next 15 years or so!) Infertility doesn't have to be a "death sentence" for your motherhood, if you even have it.

I was just wondering if its normal to just totally miss periods sometimes and yes I know theres option but I know Ill never be able to afford them being married to a military man...

I've heard many cases of women getting IVF for free. I don't know what their situation was, but it's possible. Military insurance is supposed to be quite good, and even if your husband stays in the military for 20+ years before retiring, he won't be an E-3 forever Don't count yourself out just yet.
It's easy to worry about infertility if you're not specifically TTC. I know I did ... and then I got pregnant twice, back to back, as soon as I got off my BC. After the first one ended in miscarriage, my doctor could hardly believe that I was already ovulating 2 weeks later and pregnant that cycle. Though our generation has been taught through the "mistakes" of our peers as teenagers that getting pregnant on BC is easy ... it isn't. It's normal to take up to a year to get pregnant while trying!
So what I'm trying to say is, don't worry When do you plan to start trying for a baby? Some things you can do to prepare are to get fit, eat healthy, buy a bottle of prenatal vitamins (but don't take them until you're TTC,) and find an OB that you trust. I'm going to start trying for #2 sometime next year, and these are the things I'm doing to prepare
