futurearmywife is verified as being by the original poster of the question i want to thank all of you for your help and input. I do have my head on my shoulders, I want to go to school for nursing. I already have my associates degree and i'm working on my nursing degree now. I am on birth control but i've been getting symptoms that i've never gotten before. I think its because my body is adjusting now to the birth control because i've been on it for maybe a month already a little longer. His commanders and higher ups are really cool about things, and if i am pregnant he said he would try like hell to move to fort drum which is a lot closer to me. Yeah my fiance really does care about me i got lucky finally. And i have been taking pregnancy tests and they come up negative. It's because its too early to take one and the hcg levels aren't high enough yet. there are plans and goals. we want to get married when he gets out of the army in 2012 or sooner. I wanna get married sooner, but i don't think my parents would like that very much haha. I just want to say thanks to all you guys for your comments!

 Have you missed a period, or have displayed morning sickness? If so take a pregnancy test, or take one at the gynos'. Now, if you are do you have health insurance to cover the doctor's visits, prenatal care, and delivery? If not you're going to have to get married and move sooner than expected. Depending on what he does in the army he can't just pick up and move to a base to you, he has to submit a request for transfer that has to wait to be approved, it also depends on how much the single housing is filled up on that particular base.
Let's say you are and get married, depending upon what you're going for you can still continue with school by getting an online degree up until the baby is born. After you get used to a routine with the baby and it's a least 3 months then you can sign back up for online schooling. Day care might be an option but it will still be pricey, they don't offer it discounted even if you're in the military. Really it's not even worth it, hence why so many army wives are stay at home mothers. Or there might be an army wife who runs her daycare from her home, but she will too be pricey and have a limit on how children she can care for at a time. However, if you are not pregnant and this ends up as a scare, learn from it and make sure you are on birth control..if you can't remember to take the pill daily then you need to look into the depo shot.

 Hey,
See the positive side of it. Your fiance cares about you. He is ready to move to fort drum which is extremely close you. I am not too sure if you can continue with your studies from fort drum,? But If you can, nothing like it. Pregnancy will make it little complicated but it is not the end of the world. The new born will take another nine months to come and you can still continue studying. Even after delivery, you can get nany or someone for your baby and continue studies.
Further, why dont you make sure if you are pregnant by conducting a Home Pregnancy Test?
