Why do we get so upset with the ones we love?

sharra1 @sharra1 (6340) • Australia 13 Oct 08

jastabs hi! to be sure that you're pregnant you really have to take pregnancy test. because if it's only a hint on your part, you'll get confused. also, if you have a regular period and you suddenly missed one, you better go on and test yourself.
