Can anyone comment on the ambivalence of it all--being pregnant, remaining pregnant, having and raising a child... I've terminated four times
(birth control failure mostly) and may have been pg in May (week late, then heavy cramping and bleeding and clots) and now I'm 8 days late. This on my 41st birthday. Not married, but cohabitating, wondering if I can handle such a change at this stage. Love my man but sometimes have ambivalence about him too, since I've been single all my adult life and have owned my own house and been independent. Gulp. I ought to take a pg test...

You've terminated 4 times, single all your life, extremely independent etc. May I suggest that you have your tubes tied as soon as possible? This will prevent pregnancy and stop creating pregnancies for you to terminate. It truely doesn't sound like you want, or could tolerate sharing or GIVING UP your freedom and independence. That is exactly what you would have to do with a baby, for a loooong time. You don't want to bring a baby into a self-centered world, you would most likely end up resenting the baby, and that wouldn't be fair.

Your ambivilance is because you don't want a child. An early m/c isn't marked with excessive clotting, bleeding, or clots. The conceptus merely reabsorbs or you CL regresses, which trigger af. Instead, their may be another cause for your late af such as a cyst, persistant CL, or beginning menopause.
