Lady D's Story:Basically, me and my fiance were using a condom, and he "pulled out", but I still found myself pregnant. He is supporting not only us, but also sending money to his disabled grandmother, and is getting himself compelety debt free(paying off his grandma's medical bills, which he borrowed money for)so we are in no fiancial way able to have this child, but would not want to give it up for adoption, but would not want to have
it, not being able to let it have the life it deserves. We can't tell my grandparents, because they are totally against abortion or miscarriage anything, so I am really really in a pickle, and hope you can offer some help, we need it desperatley bad, and this wasnt a careless "toying with pregnancy" sex, we are so careful, but I guess not careful enough.

Lady G's Story: Please, I am 17 years old, and I've JUST recieved a college cception
letter. My other is terminally ill, and to find ut that her daughter is pregnant will literally kill her. My father is getting over alcoholism
ver slowly, and finding out that his baby girl is having a baby will drive him right back into it. The father of this child and I have been
together for almost four years, so it's not that I'm worried about him or anything. In fact, we're both (in my opinion) mature enough to have a
child; we're just not financially secure. Plus, my college is thousands of miles away, and he's staying in our home state to go to school. How
can we take care of a child like that? How can we take care of a child while in school AND working? Please, please help me.

Lady I's Story: I suffer with severe bouts of depression and am currently only able to
get thru work by telling myself each 1/2 hour takes me closer to getting back home. I barely make enough to keep my head above the water and would be unable to provide. I have to see this person at work and try to avoid him whenever possible. In addition to this I am filled with anguish because I really need my job. I don't feel emotionally stable enuff
to turn him in...he is in a higher position than me. I don't use b/control because I am not seeking a sexual relationship. I am crying at
night and get little sleep worrrying that someone is going to find out. Please help me.

Lady J's Story:I'm not really sure if this would work for me.. my last cycle was back
in November of 2006, so its almost been 2 months now. If I'm calculating correctly, it should be about 6-7 weeks since conception. I made sure to use protection, but I see now that condoms aren't as effective as most people believe they are. Pregnancy tests have all been Positive (I've taken 3 of them, just to make sure). And I don't have enough money to
get an abortion. I was told that an abortion costs 'a few hundred' dollars, depending on if/what you use for pain management. Apart from the money, I still don't feel comfortable with such an unnatural way to stop a pregnancy. So I feel the only option I really have is this - a natural 'miscarriage' to ensure that a child isn't born into an enviroment
where I would have to do whatever necessary just to get diapers - that isn't fair to me, a child, or my family members (who I live with). Thank
you.
