This is a tough topic because I am in somewhat of a similar situation. I recently had gotten off of the depo provera shot (which I have been on for a number of years) and was told that I would be sterile for a year. It just so happened that four months after getting off of the shot I ended up pregnant. We have discussed this and I actually thought that I was okay because I would be sterile (well supposed to be). With this issue I agree with Melissa. I do not believe in abortions at all unless it is required by the doctor to do so. Now if the man does decide to eventually to do for the child financially or be in the child’s lifr then that is when you can do the things that you need to make it happen. If the man feels that he doesn’t want to have anything to do with the child financially or physically then I feel that I you can not force it upon that man. It takes to, but it takes one to be the smart one in the situation. I am not making him obligated to do anything for my child if he does not want to do anything for it, and I will not be upset with him for his decicision either. This was an actual mistake on my behalf for actually believing that I was sterile after getting off of the shot.
