My teacher told me that back in the fifties teenage pregnancies were much higher than they are today but it was hidden and backstreet abortions killed the young girls.

She also said STD rates were much worse all because of the stigma attached to sex back then no girl had any treatments or clinics.

So if the fifties were supposed to be all innocent and wholesome why were problems much worse back then?

1. No hormonal birth control.
2. Condoms weren’t widely available and had to be requested at the counter.
3. The main birth control methods were diaphragms and condoms — neither of which were extremely reliable (quality wasn’t as good back then) or very accessible to young people.

So most sex was unprotected, and pregnancy was quite likely.

(There were certainly many illegal abortions. There were all girls who were sent to ‘maternity homes’ and gave their babies up for adoption. And girls who had, and kept, their babies.)

There WERE treatments for STIs… if the girl sought them out. Antibiotics were available.

i bought a clear blue easy digital pregnancy test, both showed up "not pregnant", but i still think maybe i am. ive had sharp pains here and there in the bottom right of my abdomen.
so, do ectopic pregnancies have regular symptoms and do they show up on a test?

YES an ectopic pregnancy would have increased hcg levels that would give a positive reading on an HPT

Two weeks ago I experienced my first cramps and still am feeling them mostly on the left side. I feel tired. And my period is now 7 days late. But I’ve taken 4 pregnancy tests in the last 3 days and all are negative, I’m not stressed my school is currently in fall break. My last menstrual was on sept 9.

If you are really worried go to the doctor and they can get you checked out to be sure. They can do a blood test and those are usually very accurate. I wouldn’t overly stress about it yet, until you know if your pregnant or not. cramping in pregnancy doesn’t always mean something bad is happening. also, if you were having an ectopic pregnancy, you would be in alot of horrible stomach pain, and you would most likely be bleeding. but still check with your doctor just to be safe. good luck.

i am going to take a pregnancy test because i am late but i was wondering if i could use the test i have had under the bathroom sink for about a year now do you think it will still give an accurate result because i have heard that some times your supposed to keep them at a certain temperature

if you get a positive, you’ll wonder if it was actually negative. if you get a negative, you’ll think that maybe it was wrong.

if you have any doubts about the test, you’re not going to be satisfied til you know. get a few new tests, and good ones, so that you are assured.

and if they’re positive, blood test at the doctor time!

My last period was 01/27/09. I have a 28 day cycle, my luteal phase length is 13 days. I’ve tried the online calculator, and it said 7 weeks, which is impossible .. I’m confused. I had sex almost every day.
