Anthony Lopez3 said:So, I went in for my Beta test on Monday... and it came back negative... just 0.5 hCG... Thanks to everyone for all the replies... 🙂
Man, you have seriously been through the ringer... I was honestly just curious to see how your story ended up playing out since it sounded so intense, but man, that’s a total bummer... all that for a negative result... if that's the case, then where on earth did those high marks on your tests even come from?...🤷
brighttrucker61 said:So, here’s my situation... I finished up my last pack of Beta on February 6th, and since then, I’ve had three periods. The gap between the first and second was about 33 days, and the stretch between the second and third was 37. Basically, right now, I have absolutely no idea how to track my fertile window.
I did have sex last week—we used withdrawal, though. I’m not actually seeing this guy, but honestly? The worst part is that I wouldn't even mind if I ended up pregnant. I don't know what's gotten into me lately, but I just really, really want a baby. I'm 25.
My mom actually got pregnant with me, and then later with my brother, right after she stopped taking birth control. She always says women become way more fertile once they quit the pill. I mean, I don't know how much truth there is to that, though. 🤷
Someone please give me a reality check here. 😵 🤦
Oh honey, there is absolutely nothing better than waiting for a baby when you're actually with someone you love and building a life together, whether that's a serious relationship or marriage! Right now, you're acting just like a hen that's suddenly gone all motherly over some random eggs... I went through those exact same feelings back when I was around twenty... so just hold off if you aren't pregnant by the right person!
Well, consider this my way of slapping some sense into you 😵 😵😵😵😵😵
Bradley Edwards2 said:Thanks for getting back to me. If my period doesn't show up, I'm going to retake the test on Tuesday. By the way, what's the deal with these tests? What's actually the difference between the $6.75 one and the one I grabbed yesterday for like ten bucks at CVS? The lady behind the counter mentioned there's also one for $33. Even the cheap one claims it can pick up a pregnancy 3-5 days before you're even due for your period, and both say they're highly sensitive at 25 mIU hCG. It all feels a bit much, honestly.
honestly, the only real difference is the packaging! the one from $6.75 just comes in a plain little cardboard sleeve, while the pricier one has a fancy plastic case with a lid. I used the one from $6.75 and it gave me two lines!
lonefox17 said:Okay, look, I know nobody’s got a crystal ball or anything, and I'm definitely not trying to play psychic here... but I was really curious to hear what you guys think. Is there any chance I might actually be pregnant? I’m totally lost on whether it’s too soon to grab a test, especially since my period isn't even supposed to show up for another week...
Honestly, I wouldn't even bother with a test just yet, better to wait until you see if your period is actually late first, because if you're wondering if pregnancy is on the table after pulling the withdrawal method, then yeah, absolutely—especially if your guy is built like an NFL linebacker, that method isn't exactly foolproof, or if things happened multiple times in a row... you say you're feeling pregnancy symptoms already, but if you ask me, you might be feeling them a little too early. For me, the very first sign didn't even show up until the actual day my period was due! Since you mentioned having sex during your fertile window... there's definitely a chance you're pregnant, regardless of the withdrawal!
Totally agree... Love Actually is my absolute favorite too, and honestly, I could watch it on loop forever... it beats Titanic and pretty much everything else for me. Most movies starring Hugh Grant are pretty solid in my book... and I gotta add, besides Love Actually, I’m a huge fan of August Rush!
So, I’ve been reading up on this topic and realized that even though I don't have typical hemorrhoid symptoms, something definitely isn't right, so I was wondering if anyone here knows anything about this or if it's actually something to worry about... Basically, I feel this little lump between my anus and my tailbone—it's closer to the spine—and it just pops up every now and then, causing some pain or itching before eventually fading away, only to show up again later. It mostly happens once a month... right before my period starts. I mentioned it to my mom, and she joked that I was just born with a "little tail" and that it was nothing... but then she admitted she was just teasing me. Does anyone actually know anything about this "tail" thing? I honestly thought she was just pulling my leg until I heard that it might actually be a real thing, so could this lump I'm feeling be related to that? Or am I looking at something else entirely?... Thanks,
So, I just got asked to reach out to someone using either MSN or ICQ... but honestly, I have absolutely no clue what that actually means? I feel like I’ve heard people mention MSN a million times before, but I don't have the slightest idea what it is or what I actually need to do to get a hold of this person... they just left their email address for me...
Thanks so much for all the replies, I actually just signed up for this Reddit a few days ago! And honestly, don't even get me started on how much I struggled when I first opened this site up... I had absolutely no clue where anything was or what I was even doing, but I think I'm slowly getting the hang of it. So yeah, I'm still pretty lost on how everything works, but you guys have been such a huge help, seriously, thank you. And I only wrote LP because it's how we always sign off our emails at work! Thanks again, LP
Man, American English can get so confusing sometimes... it feels like everything is just borrowed from somewhere else, and since I'm pretty much the new kid on the block here too, I figured I'd ask if anyone could help me out... basically, could someone explain what all these terms actually mean: post, forum, sub-forum, topic URL blog
Thanks a bunch... though I'll probably figure it all out eventually anyway... LP
Ashley, these shots are absolutely killer... I’m guessing you didn't have any hiding under $1667??? And Pinky, she is just so adorable.... honestly, it looks like you used a few different cameras for these, because the quality jumps around a bit. I really wish I could show you guys my own collection—all the close-ups, the black and whites, the selfies and everything else—but they're all tucked away in my private album! Sending you guys a huge, huge hello!
Hey Nikolin, give this one a shot... I totally messed up the last link I posted, so hopefully it actually works this time since I'm still such a newbie at all this tech stuff and had to get a friend to walk me through it!
Hey everyone, check out these shots I got done at Sun Photo El Paso... just a little preview of what they did, but I really hope you guys dig them! Sending good vibes to everybody!
Man, you guys spend so much cash on flowers, centerpieces, makeup, dresses, and all that stuff... but at the end of the day, the photos are really the only thing you actually get to keep, and then people totally lose their minds when they finally see the photographer's quote! If you're looking for something in the Midwest, I'd suggest Sun Photo El Paso (they do great work without breaking the bank) or maybe Bot Studio Vinkovci (also solid, they have some really cool ideas, though they can be a bit pricey)... once I figure out how to upload the pictures here, you'll see what I mean...😉
Hey everyone... I totally agree about Sun Pictures, they're great, and if anyone wants to see some of my own work, just shoot me an email and I'll send it over... actually, they did some shots for me too. The guy working there is awesome at catching those spontaneous, candid moments just like you were looking for, plus he uses a really high-end camera, so you can always do some extra editing on the photos later if you want!
