I'm going to be a father in 7 1/2 months

There's always such things as a false positive, man.
Take a blood test, they're about 99% accurate within in the first trimester.

Pregnancy tests can not false positive.

Already done, we did all the DNA testing, and such.
Thank you for the suggestion though :)

Idk why but i have a feeling will make a thread like this...

Well, you should write down all the suggested names yola...

Just for you guys I might start a list in the OP of your top suggested names :)

He did a lot more than that, buddy...

I'm sensing either a pun and/or sarcasm? haha

Condoms? Oh yeah, yeah those things, i don't think anybody ever uses condoms in the first place. That's why teenage pregnancy happens.
But at least your 17, there are some teenage pregnances that happen around 14 or so

We've used protection every other time other than that one time, and boom, this happened.

I'm not sure, she still won't be entirely clear about that.

And my two thoughts right now are keeping it or doing open adoption.

oh god she forgeted it up

sorry to hear that man

a kid is a great thing, but you're far too young as of now.  whatever you decide, i'm sure it will be fine.  if you keep it, your relatives will probably take a big hand in raising the kid

Pregnancy tests can not false positive.

Yes they can.
At-home pregnancy tests measure the amount of a specific chemical in the urine that determines if it is positive or negative.
Urine tests have never proven to be nearly as accurate as people believe them to be. Those little sticks you piss on can easily give you a false-positive, or even a false-negative.

In fact, using them in the first trimester grants the trickiest results, as the woman's body may not have produced enough of the chemical in the urine for it to go positive, producing a false-negative (or you may not actually be pregnant at all), or the body mistakenly produced the chemical while the woman wasn't even pregnant (this is usually caused by pseudo-pregnancy), giving a false-positive. That can also be caused by the tester being faulty.

Blood tests however, very very very rarely ever give false-results. Within the first trimester (first 3 months of pregnancy), blood tests are proven most accurate. By the second trimester (4-6 months), blood tests aren't needed, because by then you should be able to physically tell whether or not you're pregnant.

"hey honey why do you think my belly is getting so big!"
"my sperm"

No, they can't. If the hormone is there, it will show positive, if the hormone is not, it will show negative. The hormone is only produced during pregnancy. Nothing else in normal urine can cause the test to turn positive.

Did you notice your GF's busts go bigger yola?

Socially-bound stigmas aside, given how most individuals grow up, I don't think you'll have the ability to take on the task appropriately.

Prove me wrong, for the sake of your child.

You didn't even read the entire post.
Good job.

It's called pseudo-pregnancy.
It is a condition that can easily trick the woman's brain into producing the hormone and giving all the necessary symptoms of pregnancy (minus the physical appearance!), when the woman will turn out not even being pregnant.

Read what it is. It rarely happens to humans and when it does it's usually due to a physical change in the endocrine system. Regardless, that's not the test false positiving, that's your body preparing for pregnancy. So, I maintain my original point:

Pregnancy tests can not false positive.

[Frosting]

First off, you're gonna probably have to give up your own time to help father the baby. It's really important that a child has a father growing up, so stick with the baby.

He did a lot more than that, buddy...

looks like he ran a homerun but an injury is going to be keeping him out of the next game

Yes, lets grab information from an open-source site to prove a point.
Urine tests have never been as accurate as you people believe.
False-positives are possible.

Please, just ask all the thousands of women who have experienced it.
Ask my ex if you want. I experienced the same thing with her (it turned out a false-positive).
Therefore,

Yes they can.

Blood tests, however, are 99% accurate and usually always end up with true results.

Ask your relatives to help you out. Im sure your parents would help you. Having Offspring is a wonderful thing, but maybe you should let them take care of the child until you both are ready.


Stick to that child, bro
