Man, what’s even the point of those signs hanging up at Target? Like, nobody actually gives a damn about a two percent difference.

I honestly feel too embarrassed to even ask if I can cut ahead in line, mostly because everyone looks so incredibly high-and-mighty, and nobody wants to be the one to actually acknowledge my food baby 😕

Edward Kern3 said:So, uh, how much are these things actually running people for? Like, which one is supposed to be the gold standard? What’s the priciest option out there versus the absolute cheapest one you can grab at Walgreens?

Just head over to a CVS or Walgreens and grab one that works anytime—I think they run about 40 bucks $20 if I remember right. Honestly, any of them work fine.
As for the cheapest ones, no clue, since they weren't even stocking those here in Metković.

Edward Kern3 said:I honestly thought that right away, but a friend told me it might be too early—told me to just hang tight until Monday maybe...

But, I don't know, I guess I could use some other opinions, maybe from people who've actually been through this, who knows...

Hey, do whatever you think is best. Personally, that expensive test gave me nothing but a faint little line, and that was still four days before my period was even due.

Edward Kern3 said:So, here’s the deal—this is what’s going on:
So, okay, looking back at my calendar—last month, the very last day of my period was August 25th—and yeah, that’s when we actually had sex. Just putting that out there, I guess...
Ugh, I’m honestly so stressed out right now—my period is late again this month, and it’s totally throwing me off. Like, it was definitely supposed to show up by now... and the worst part is the physical stuff. My stomach is killing me, my breasts are super sore, and I just have this constant, nagging feeling that it’s gonna start any second, but then... nothing. Just waiting. It's driving me kind of crazy, I guess.
So, I was reading up on this and apparently stress can be a factor—though, honestly, I don't feel like my life has been quite chaotic enough lately for that to be the main culprit, you know? I mean, I did get into a bit of a spat with my husband—nothing major, just one of those things where we both said too much—and then, well, there was definitely way too much wine involved in the aftermath. Plus, I’ve been feeling pretty under the weather for about ten days now... probably just some nasty flu or a cold going around, just constant sneezing and coughing, nothing life-threatening, I guess, but still annoying. And, uh, I think I actually dropped a few pounds, too.
So, I finally had sex last night—it’s been a minute, honestly—and I’ve been kind of spiraling about it ever since... 😁 So, ever since the 2nd—and I’m talking right from when things started going sideways—I went to hit the bathroom and noticed my urine was looking super dark, like this deep, dark yellow color... which, honestly, felt like a pretty solid hint that some blood was about to show up in the mix lol.
Woke up in Chicago this morning—and man, let me tell you, I am sitting at exactly zero points right now. Just nothing. Zilch. Total shutout. 😕
Ugh, I’ve seriously had this weird, nagging feeling all day—like, I'm just waiting for something bad to happen at any second—and my stomach is absolutely killing me. It's just... yeah. Not great.
So, I mean—I guess I just kind of went down the rabbit hole thinking about pregnancy, you know? Like, I just started following that line of thought and just... ran with it. Honestly, there aren't really any actual symptoms or anything yet—aside from the fact that my period is MIA—but still. No dizziness, no morning sickness, nothing like that... just a whole lot of wondering, I suppose.
So I was just sitting here thinking—and honestly, I’m probably overthinking this, which is kind of my thing—like, should I just go ahead and grab a test now, or maybe just hold off for a day or two? I don't know, man. Maybe waiting is smarter, or maybe I'm just stressing myself out for nothing... I guess we'll see.
I mean, obviously I’m planning on hitting up the gynecologist and all that—it’s on my list, for sure—but I’m just waiting until my paycheck actually clears. Money is... well, let's just say things are a little tight right now, so I'm playing it by ear.
So, I guess this is gonna be my first time ever doing this... kind of nervous, maybe? Just a total newbie here, honestly.
So, I’m sitting here wondering what you guys all think... like, what are the actual reasons why she hasn't shown up yet? Is it even possible that I'm pregnant? Should I just go out and grab a test right this second? I don't know—I'm kind of spiraling a bit, I guess. What do you think?
Thanks in advance!

Hey, small world, we're from the same town! hehe
Just go grab a test so you can stop stressing... if even a faint line shows up, that means you're pregnant.

I’m honestly so fed up with the public healthcare system. Most of these socialized OB-GYNs are totally mediocre and their equipment is straight-up outdated 🙄

If you actually want answers or want things done right, you basically have to pay out of pocket, otherwise you’re just wasting your time.

Carol Ramirez23 said:Walmart is clearly a den of evil😂😂, because I constantly get run over in the aisles there! I really have to give credit to Kroger, though, because today, for the first time and just three days before giving birth, the cashier actually called me up to the front!😍 And the guy standing in front of me immediately stepped aside to let me through, too. Well, I was feeling pretty good today, so I was generous enough to let him go ahead of me instead😁. I guess now that I look like I might actually explode at any second, the benefits are finally starting to kick in... though it feels a little late!🙂

It's not like that at every Walmart 😉

Ugh, I seriously cannot deal with people constantly asking if the baby "came back to life" anymore 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

Like, how can anyone be this clueless?
If I don't feel any movement, it means there's no baby (God forbid), period.

So far, my maid of honor and two or three girlfriends have already hit me with this question. 🙂
Honestly, if a guy were asking, maybe they'd actually get it. 🙄

And then my maid of honor acts like it's totally normal, as if she’s listening to some crazy advice from her sister-in-law claiming a baby magically revives at four months old—and this woman has two kids herself! 🙄
