I am a 34 year old married woman with 3 amazing children. I have been using "nuvaring" birth control for over a year. I strongly believe I am pregnant ( u know these things after 3 children). I recently found out that "Nuvaring" should be kept in the fridge until use. I had mine ontop of my tv for a few days before I put it in. The pharmacy never told me to refridgerate it. I have 3 children already and don't think I can afford another. I live in a 3 bedroom apartment and can't afford to move. I am so confused as to what I should do. I don't want an abortion, but I can't afford another child! I could never give my baby up either. I just need some advice from others in the same situation. I am being consumed by this morning, noon and night!

Liza,

How are you doing? Did you find out if your pregnant or not? I have 4 children and know that feeling of thinking I'm pregnant all too well. I also have been wrong about it and just hypersensitive to the premenstral stuff.

Having an abortion is irreversible. There are a lot of women who wish they could go back to the day they had an abortion to get to know the child. I urge you to do your homework before making a life altering decision. If you are pregnant get an ultrasound and you'll be amazed how developed they baby all ready is.

Let us know how you are no matter what has happened. Feel free to email Cheryl or I privately too.

Hugs,

Heather

Hi, Liza,

I had read your message the other day, and I reread it today, and I had to smile. We have seven children. For several years, we lived in a 3 bedroom trailer. It was crowded, but we survived. We even had months on end with no income sometimes. There is always a way. Find your local crisis pregnancy agency. Go here for a list:

www.pregnancycenters.org

They can help with financial issues.

And I should tell you a story about one of my friends. She was in much the same position as you. Her apartment was too expensive, and she didn't think she could afford the baby she was carrying. But a priest said, "Your problem is you need a new apartment." He found a bigger one that was cheaper, closer to where she worked so commuting wasn't as much of a problem, either. She needed a new apartment, not an abortion. :)

Hugs,
Pat
