I experience this exact same thing... I completely lose track of my own dimensions and regularly end up slamming right into doorframes or banisters...🤦

One time, I actually smacked my stomach so hard against a door handle—the poor elderly woman watching me practically turned pale from the impact! 😁

Personally, I manage to slam my stomach into the car door on a regular basis🤣
and let me tell you, it hits hard enough to leave a mark.😲 😂

casualcyclist1 said:Now, this part is what really gets me—honey, you're telling me you guys just weren't being careful?😂

😂 Perhaps they are. 🤷

I’ll be honest—I am genuinely terrified that this might actually happen to me after I deal with this pregnancy. 😂
Two of these have been long-awaited and highly anticipated, but that third one? It absolutely floored me. 😲 😂
I would be absolutely thrilled. 😁

Just run the test again in two or three days. 👍

I need some input on this—it's urgent
My child is 16 months old:
WBC: 2.2 (Normal range: 6.0-16.0)
Monocytes: 22 (Normal range: 5-13)
Reactive lymphocytes: 3 (Normal range: 0)
Neutrophils: 26 (Normal range: 30-72)

Everything else looks perfectly fine.

hiddenheron20 said:Hey everyone—so, I did two different tests, and both of them showed that second line. But then today... things got weird. I had some light spotting at first, and then it turned into something a bit heavier.
Please, if anyone knows what I should do, let me know. I’m honestly just feeling pretty devastated right now. 😢

Get to the hospital right now—and I mean the emergency room, immediately.
I went through the exact same thing, and my doctor put me on progesterone, which I truly believe helped stabilize things since the bleeding subsided after starting it.
Go now 🙂.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I am praying everything works out exactly as it should and that eight months from now, you're holding your baby in your arms.

James Cox6 said:Mine didn't show up until I was 38 weeks pregnant... honey, let's not get ahead of ourselves.🙂

Look, this is entirely subjective. In my case, it showed up incredibly early—way before I even had a visible baby bump.😉

rapidrider3 said:Are you serious? My experience was the exact opposite. If anything hurt, it meant my period was coming. Once I actually got pregnant, if I felt even a tiny twinge or some pressure, I’d immediately worry about a miscarriage... except during my second pregnancy. Then the pains started around month three and just didn't stop until the end. It was mostly groin pain, too. I could barely walk...

But early cramping isn't usually a good sign if you're worried about being pregnant... most of the time, it's just not.

It varies wildly from person to person.
🤷

rapidrider3 said:Well, you might just get what's coming to you...😉

Let me tell you something: during my pregnancy, I dealt with abdominal pains so intense that it felt like my period was coming every single second until I hit week 16. Therefore, that specific symptom is absolutely not a reliable metric at all.😉

granitesailor15 said:It wasn't even my first shift this morning... I mean, what's the big deal?
I didn't even start until around 2 PM.

Look, you really should use your very first urine of the day; that's when the hCG concentration is at its absolute peak.
If the result isn't what you're looking for, run another test and let us know how it turns out.
I am rooting for you to get exactly what you're hoping for.👍

granitesailor15 said:So, I was hooking up with my guy... at first we used a condom... then after maybe half an hour we went without one... he didn't actually finish inside though
I was supposed to get my period yesterday, but nothing happened. So today I finally took a test and it showed this incredibly faint line—like, barely even there, seriously
I showed it to a friend of mine who works at a CVS and she told me it’s negative... plus I’ve got those weird cramps like my period is coming, but honestly, my cycle is always late anyway.
But man, I am stressing out so much about this😢😢

Listen, if you can see a second line, then the test is positive, period. It does not matter how faint or "barely visible" it is.
Did you use your very first urine sample from the morning? You need to take another test immediately.

Brenda Harris81 said:Rheumatoid arthritis. Honestly, I am not going to go down the rabbit hole of self-diagnosing any further. I'm just crossing my fingers that it isn't anything serious.

Thanks. Look, I feel the exact same way—I'm convinced it's nothing—but I can't help the little bit of panic that creeps in anyway.😉

Brenda Harris81 said:Leukopenia can stem from all sorts of things: a viral infection, an autoimmune disorder (like lupus or RA), a severe infection, side effects from certain medications, and so on.

If there were some kind of active infection, wouldn't that show up in my CRP levels? My CRP is totally normal. I did have a virus recently, but I just don't get why my white blood cell count would drop this drastically.🤷
What exactly is RA? 🙈

What does it actually mean when the white blood cell count hits 1.8?😕
I can see the doctors are extremely concerned; they've already drawn blood twice today, she was on an IV drip, and I have to go back in again tomorrow. 😕Everything is just completely falling apart😢

Congratulations! I truly wish you a peaceful and healthy pregnancy. 😍

Ladies, stop cluttering up this thread with all this chatter; head over to the Wannabe meetup instead, where you can talk my ear off as much as you want.

And just to give you a little glimmer of hope, one of my symptoms was that I suddenly couldn't even pull my stomach in, even though I used to be able to 😉

It finally clicked for me what 🙈Lotus🙈 was actually getting at.🙈

I am fully on board with 👍
.

Which bands would you recommend for a wedding out in the Midwest? Also, if anyone happens to have some contact numbers, could you please send them my way via DM?
thanks 😘

hiddenscout362 said:I wouldn't, but he definitely would.😳

Good grief, until both of you actually get your act together, I just hope you end up exactly where you want to be.😘

hiddenscout362 said:yeah...
the last one started on August 28th, and the one before that was July 22nd.

I honestly can't say for sure; you'll just have to wait and see...
But the real question is, do they even want this pregnancy?

hiddenscout362 said:No way, I know exactly what mine looks like versus what his does 😬
And honestly, I have no clue how long my cycles are; they’re so erratic that "irregular" doesn't even begin to cover it. I can't even come up with an average if I tried...👎

In that case, it’s nearly impossible to be certain. My own cycle runs about 33 to 34 days, yet my ovulation window hit on December 12th—who would have thought?! It’s anyone's guess. You just have to wait until you either don't get it or you finally do, and then you'll have your answer. I realize the waiting game is agonizing, but that is quite literally the only way to get a definitive answer to your question.😘

Elizabeth Johnson said:haha, I actually had the exact same thought once; I genuinely believed it was my own 👍 since it felt like my fertile window was supposed to happen much later...

I am strictly talking about his, and that is what I noticed. 😬
