Has anyone ever been anemic and pregnant? How do the symptoms differ? I get nauseous, tired, and dizzy plus stomach pains sometimes. Are pregnancy symptoms more severe or completely different or what? The reason I found out I was anemic was because I went in for a pregnancy test. If this happens again, I don't want to waste a doctor visit if it's just my anemia. Thanks!

To be frank, my bf finishes inside without a condom and I am on the Pill. I seriously am religious about taking my Pill on time (within a half hour's time span everyday). Does anyone know the likelihood of pregnancy if I'm darn near perfect about taking my pills?

Experiences are greatly appreciated. Did you get pregnant on the Pill? If so, did you take it perfectly?

My bf and I have been living together for a year and have been dating for two and a half or so, been friends for 5ish years. I'm starting to think about marriage and we've talked about it. We're both essentially anti-religious, and he says that since he doesn't go for the church thing, he sees no point to marriage other than financial benefits or if children are involved. I am fine with waiting for a while, but want it to happen eventually. Short from having kids (which is NOT my plan), is there anything I can do to nudge him along?

Has anyone had this experience, if so, how did you handle it/what ended up happening? In anticipation of some of your answers, yes, I can wait, but I don't see why we can't be engaged for a while.

would I still bleed/have my period?

I'm on the Pill and I think I might be pregnant. For some reason, I think I've heard that if you're on the Pill it can affect the hpt results. Is this true or am I crazy? I'd like to take an hpt before I spend the copay at the doctor, but want to know if I'm wasting my time. Thanks

Do you and your husband/wife have a joint checking account? If so, how do you not overdraw? What are some of the benefits of each? Personal experience gladly welcome. Thanks!!

My boyfriend and I are considering having a baby. Obviously there are lot of things to think about like financial situation, loss of free time, emotional stability, etc. but I was wondering if some parents could suggest things to consider before getting pregnant that we might not think about. Also, religious views aside, does being married first matter? We're not really into the marriage institution. Suggestions welcome. Thanks!

I am 21 years old, am a junior in college and am trying to decide my next step. I have a few options: 1) graduate and move to Berlin with my fiancee (I loved it there when we visited, but am nervous to move that far from home; he would love to go), 2) go to grad school (I'm a straight A student and hopefully wouldn't have a problem getting in), 3) move to Canada and go to grad school there. As you can probably tell, I'm disillusioned with America and would love to leave. However, is it easy to get a Visa for Germany? As for grad school, I love English and would like to continue with that but don't know if I have the dedication for it. Any advice on any of these topics would be soo helpful for me. Thanks!
