That’s just how that generation was 😁. My grandmother used to say that the morning sickness would finally pass once you could actually feel the baby moving... that was just how people talked back then 🤣
Thomas Martin11 said:So... my period ended on March 28th. The next day, I had unprotected sex... we were trying to be careful, though. It was supposed to be my non-fertile window. But then, five days later, my breasts and stomach started aching. And it hasn't stopped... it's been going on for a week now. My OBGYN says it might just be ovulation since that's where I am in my cycle, which I guess is normal for most girls. But what worries me is that this has never happened before... having pain right before my fertile days. I'm scared I might be pregnant. Then again, could those "first symptoms" really show up in less than five days?! :-p
maybe it's just the change in seasons:-))
Why not just wait until your next period to see if it actually shows up? 😍 Honestly, waiting like that just feels like running in circles without getting any real answers. 😉
quiethawk142 said:Can someone please help me out here! I'm running about 8 days late—actually, it’s been 39 days since my last cycle started. My period is usually incredibly regular, maybe off by a day or two at most, and things like stress or even changes in the weather have never caused it to be this late before! We had some unprotected encounters throughout December, and the last time was January 17th, though I thought I was in my infertile window then. I took a Clearblue test after being 4 days late, and it looked like a smudge that could be interpreted as a positive, but then I took an One Step test on the morning of the 7th day and it came back negative! As for symptoms, I don't really feel much of anything, except my nipples are incredibly sore, which isn't normal for me because they don't usually hurt during PMS! Should I be worried that this might be some kind of infection, or is there any reason to keep suspecting I might be pregnant? Thanks so much!
From what I've seen, a negative can mean you aren't pregnant, but it could also just be a failed test if you actually are... once you see any kind of change on that stick, even a tiny bit, that's usually a 100% sign of pregnancy. That’s what my doctor told me, anyway!
But honestly, you won't know for sure until you go see your doctor! It might not be pregnancy at all; it could just be stress or something else entirely. Still, if that first test really did look positive to you, there might just be a little life growing inside you.😉
We can all offer advice and share our own stories, but every woman's body works differently. Your best bet is to visit your OB-GYN; you definitely won't go wrong there.👍

I'm doing it again tomorrow morning! I checked my beta levels, but it was back on the 28th—the interval went up to 4, though maybe I was just too early. I read somewhere that it’s possible to test a bit ahead of schedule.
And just my luck, my boss told me a few days ago that a promotion is coming my way 😍
I actually tested twice before I officially found out. Since my hormone levels were just barely starting to show up, I only saw a tiny change on the first test. It wasn't until about five days later, when I took a second one, that things really started looking clear! 👍

It’s currently day 35 since my last period started, and my cycles are all over the place, usually running anywhere from 32 to 38 days.
I'm losing my mind here, I honestly can't tell if I'm pregnant or not??
Basically, any change on that test is a positive sign! If I were you, I'd say there's a 99.9% chance you're pregnant.👍
We actually conceived during the very first month we decided we wanted a baby... and of course, just two days before my period was due, I started feeling those heavy cramps and this intense exhaustion hitting me, plus my stomach was acting up... so I couldn't stop thinking about it and we went out to grab a test!
THE FIRST: done while I was a complete nervous wreck!😁 We waited together for a few minutes, and I’m staring at it seeing nothing, then suddenly I catch this teeny, tiny change in the second circle—like a "ghost" pink line that should have appeared fully by now, but hadn't quite shown up yet. I told my husband, "There is no way, I am definitely pregnant," but he kept insisting I was just imagining things. 😁 I just went, "Fine!" Men, right? There's really no point trying to convince them when they're set in their ways, even though my gut feeling was screaming otherwise...
Two days passed... my period was supposed to arrive, but nothing! My husband gets home from work and I tell him, "Hey, grab another test just to be safe..."
THE SECOND: I totally messed that one up because I was even more jittery. I think I didn't hold the stick long enough or something, so the test basically failed entirely. 🤣 hehehehe....
Four more days go by and still no period...
So we head over to
for THE THIRD test... this time I wanted to be absolutely certain, so I used a cup so I wouldn't have to deal with him teasing me about being unable to take a simple test properly. 😍
Naturally, the excitement starts building again (just like seeing a Starbucks latte waiting for you 😁)... while my husband is chilling at the computer, convinced there's nothing going on! I pee in the cup, dip the stick, and sit there on the toilet doing a crossword puzzle while I wait. 😁
I had to Endure waiting for a few minutes, and once I saw the stick, I didn't even have time to get dressed before I bolted out of the bathroom screaming with joy! He realized what happened immediately... we were jumping around like crazy kids. 😁😁
Truly unforgettable... and just more proof that WE WOMEN ARE ALWAYS RIGHT 👍😍
