Tooby
If you already know you're pregnant (and thus have had implantation), how can you wait 9 days to test? You don't have to wait until the date you'd normally get your period anymore.
Buy a test that works from 6 days before your period and take that test.


DOES he have to return next week or is a slightly longer time possible? If he MUST return due to the end of his stay, then he'll also have to return if you are pregnant, because if he wants to stay here longer, he'll have to apply for a longer stay, and that's not possible if he's here illegally.

    A positive test is pointless anyway, because if he has to come back, he'll have to do that with a positive test too.

    If you already have clear symptoms, shouldn't the test also be positive? If you really can't test until 9 days from now, I don't think the symptoms are from pregnancy.
    Honestly, I don't think you can fake this. Imagine if you're not pregnant...
    Your body can play tricks on you when you really want something.
    But well, that's just my opinion.

    Just to be clear.
    My boyfriend is not here illegally.
    It's my last resort to save this relationship.
    My question is also, who can help me get a positive pregnancy test without prejudices?
  4. Tooby started this #5

    I asked a question and got no answer.

    SHOULD your boyfriend return because his visa is expiring or not?
    If YES, then he must return when his visa expires: whether pregnant or not.

    If NO, then why can't he wait?..there must be another reason.

    These are private reasons further.

    I personally think you're asking a strange question.
    I mean, all respect for wanting to save your relationship and keep your boyfriend, but asking someone else for a positive test and having it sent to you? What if your boyfriend finds out? Do you think there would still be trust on his side? If you have 9 days left until you could possibly test, your symptoms could definitely be from something else or because you're just too focused on it...

    I hope you find someone who will help you, but also that you don't play around with your boyfriend's trust.

    Private reasons..okay

    FOR ANYONE WHO THINKS THEY'RE HELPING HER:

    Even though she's pregnant, her boyfriend has to go back to his home country because his visa is expiring.
    If that's not the case, then this is pure blackmail, and no one should help someone like that.

    Saying you're pregnant when you're not even sure you are, to your boyfriend, just to keep him around, is already, in my opinion, stupid..let alone paying someone to keep the lie going.

    But yeah, good luck..

    Oh, and to help you out a bit:

    Just take an early test. There's a good chance it'll already be positive if you're really pregnant. Much easier and cheaper than having someone send you a test.

    I think every month that I'm pregnant, because I have all the symptoms of pregnancy! Every month I tell myself, this time it's really it, and I even start talking to my belly. Yet, every time I get my period. Why? First of all, the symptoms of an ectopic ovulation are exactly the same as the beginning of a pregnancy. I have these throughout the entire luteal phase. Second, if you really convince yourself that you're pregnant, you start to believe it. Aches and pains you usually get, you start attributing to pregnancy. This can even go so far as to cause a false pregnancy.

    What I think is that you really want to keep your boyfriend in the Netherlands, which I understand. Maybe you want it so much that you consciously or unconsciously convince yourself that you're pregnant. Nine days before your expected period, it's actually almost impossible (though it can happen) to feel so many pregnancy symptoms already. For example, nausea is (and this varies from woman to woman) due to the many hormones. You don't have that many yet if you're just newly pregnant. You don't even have enough for a good positive test. Nausea can also come from ovulation, the LH hormone. I have this every month, as I already said. Also swollen breasts, bloated feeling. It can all come from that.

    I sincerely hope you're pregnant. I don't think you should start a relationship with a lie. Talk to him about it. Ask if he can put it off for a bit. If that would be possible with a pregnancy, it can be now too. Take the test together. Would you really want to look back on a time when you used another man's pregnancy test? Could you always live with that lie?

    This is all not meant angrily or negatively. I know how you feel and have experienced this often myself. I'm just trying to make you think carefully, because I think this isn't the right decision, and I think you know that too, but because he has to leave so soon, you're getting a bit panicked, which I completely understand.

    But then I also think... how can you live with yourself that you, the person you say you love so much, are misleading him so badly? Something really is off with you, sorry. I don't want to hurt you, but I hope a light bulb goes on for you. Love makes you blind, and I understand that with true love you'll do crazy things, but this isn't healthy. If you love him that much, you shouldn't do this to him in this way. If you're sure you're pregnant, you can still contact him while he's in Nepal, or you can go to him.

    With all respect... He wants to go back to his country, and if you love him that much, why aren't you going with him? Apparently, he doesn't love you enough to want to stay in the NL with you... have you ever thought about that? Do you really want a man like him in your life as the father of your child?
  11. Saartje #12

    And if someone sends in a positive test and your boyfriend stays here and you're not actually pregnant? How are you going to tell him then? If he finds out you lied like that, he'll leave anyway! I don't think it's a good plan; if he cares about you, he'll stay, and if not, too bad! You can't force someone to stay against their will; that doesn't seem like a healthy relationship to me.

    I'm pregnant and my man doesn't even live in the Netherlands yet... there are definitely better ways.
  13. Stef #14

    I don't get at all that you're responding to such a call
  14. Tooby started this #15

    Probably the same reason you're doing it now..
    ..boredom hahaha
  15. Stef #16

    Hahahaha
  16. Kimberley #17

    But seriously, Tooby what else do we do on such a forum. It's also quite interesting to see these kinds of topics and other people's views.
  17. Tooby started this #18

    Yeah, indeed, haha. Yeah, sometimes I do get a bit startled by it, you know, when you read stories like that... oh well.
  18. proud_mommy #19

    I wouldn't even joke about asking someone that. How can you manipulate someone you supposedly love in that way? If he really loved you, he'd wait a bit longer. If you're truly pregnant, you'll test positive soon enough. But playing with his feelings like this, while his heart isn't really here, is nasty. Go with him, and if he didn't ask you to come, it means you're just a holiday romance. You knew from the start that he'd leave, so why didn't you use contraception?
    Or do you have abandonment issues?
  19. Kimberley #20

    Amen!
