16?? 🙄

rustypuma6 said:Heh, I’m holding out hope that he’s just a subpar tester—honestly, let's just give it a few more days and then we can head over to Gin's. 😬..
I’m seeing some similar signs over here—it’s definitely hitting me too. 🙂 They’ve been killing us for days now—it feels like a relentless grind—and I actually took a test just two days ago that came back negative.
It’s day 28 of my cycle and still absolutely nothing to report... just total silence on that front.
That longing for a baby... it just seems to grow heavier with every passing day. It’s becoming this constant, quiet ache that follows me around. So, tell me—what's your take on all this?
My husband says we should hold out for another day or two—just so we can sit here and nurse this little bit of hope while it lasts. 😍

So, I guess we’re cut from the same cloth then. Only thing is, mine takes a bit longer to kick in, doesn't it?

I don’t even know if anyone else has run into this yet... but can two different cheap tests—one done right on schedule and another one a few days late—actually both be wrong? Is it even possible for them to be false positives? Or am I just losing my mind here?

I’m not exactly a spring chicken anymore, am I? Maybe my body just isn't playing by the same rules it used to. Who knows. Besides, every pregnancy seems to hit you differently—it's never a carbon copy. Last time around, once I finally realized I was actually pregnant, my breasts were killing me. Like, seriously painful for days on end. And I didn't even bother taking a test until nine days after my period was late, and wouldn't you know it... positive.

I’ve got this nagging feeling—yeah, I really do—that this test was rushed through way too early. It feels premature. Honestly? I feel like my hands are tied on this one. What choice do I have?

Fingers crossed—keep us posted on how it goes. 😍 I’m right there with you, waiting and listening for any news. 😉

I already took one around 6 AM, and still nothing. It’s late, and my chest has been killing me for 10 days now—it's driving me insane.

I was expecting it around the 14th or 16th. For example, I got it on the 16th last time, and usually, it arrives a day or two early or right on schedule. Today is already the 19th.

First test was on the 16th, second one this morning. Still zero sign of my period. Usually, I see a little pink spotting a day before everything finally "starts."😁

But my body seems more interested in making a baby than anything else. 😁

Patrick Moore38 said:Hey ladies, I posted here about a week ago because my period was a week late, but the test I took at Chronos came back negative. The issue now is that my period still hasn't arrived, and today marks 15 days since I was due. I don't have any typical symptoms, though I did run a fever for a few days and dealt with intense headaches—but honestly, I figured that was just a summer flu passing through. The only really weird thing I've noticed lately is some serious bloating 😛 that I've never experienced quite like this before. So, my question is: is it actually possible for a test to be wrong after being a full week late?
I had my regular OB-GYN checkup just a few months ago and everything checked out fine, so I'm completely lost as to what's going on here. 🙂🙂

Hard to say anything useful here besides... just take another test. ☕

(I'm in the same boat tomorrow, mine is wayyy late—my first one was negative too...) 😁

granitesailor15 said:Sooo... I finally got my results this morning 😁😁... and yeah, I even did a follow-up test first thing in the morning just to be absolutely sure 😁... it came back negative 😁
Ugh, well, I guess that’s a relief 😁
Thanks a ton 🙂

Well, that’s great news. Honestly, if my memory serves me right, I kind of saw this coming anyway. 😁...

At least you can finally get some decent sleep tonight.

It’s the same way life works. Once a person starts saying their goodbyes—once they actually wrap their head around the fact that they have to go and make peace with destiny—that’s when the miracles start happening. Most of the time, people recover out of nowhere. Usually, we're talking about the most critically ill patients, the ones everyone thought were gone. And nobody can ever truly wrap their minds around why.

God moves in mysterious ways, I guess.

So, even that little bit of faith you have left... it sensed your grief and your pain. You faced it head-on, shared that burden with us, and in return, it gave you one more round of time to spend with him.

Isn't that just wild? 😍

Michelle Fisher98 said:I'm not sure I follow—are you actually selling this stuff?

Either way, there’s really no downside here.
If they pay via direct deposit, the cash is sitting right there. If they go with cash on delivery, the money comes straight to your door via the mail carrier. It just depends on what works best for the buyer.
The only thing is, shipping is $14.40 for a standard package, or if it's COD, it'll be $21.60...

Yeah, I'm selling. But honestly? I'm a little paranoid about sending things out into the void like that (just sneezed, and man, that was a loud one—bless me, I guess😁). What if the package gets to the address and nobody is home? Or worse, they just never pick it up and it ends up being sent back to me? Then I've basically just thrown my shipping money down the drain, haven't I?

Anyone here dealt with this before? Any horror stories or success stories?

I’ve got a question, but honestly, I don't have the energy right now to go hunting through all these threads for some similar example.

So, I’m selling stuff, and someone just asked me if they can pay via Cash on Delivery.

I did end up sending the items, but I’d much rather they just used a direct transfer or something so the money actually hits my account.

Any advice? What should I do?

Even the mods have their own private DMs, you know. And wouldn't you know it? They always seem to find time to clear out those little messages before they ever bother looking at threads like this one. 😉

Anonymous said:Look, dummy, the worst part about my stubbornness isn't even the way I challenge modes. They’re basically self-inflicted at this point—like, they just CHOOSE to be challenged! I’m a special kind of intense, and honestly, I have to tone myself down sometimes just so wretches like you don't get an inferiority complex! Fine, I’ll change my signature, no big deal, I’m not an idiot. BUT, how was I supposed to know WHAT was bothering anyone in the first place? You see, I’m just such a clueless person that it didn't occur to me that a LINK could be an issue. I DIDN'T REALIZE SOMETHING WAS WRONG. OK, now I know, thanks, really—you didn't have to be so insulting!! Shame on you! Maybe try learning some basic manners, grow up a bit... 🙄

Thanks so much for those lovely words. Honestly, I have no idea what I did to deserve them; I just wanted to help. Even if you aren't exactly new here, I guess I've reached a point where nothing surprises me anymore.

Thanks again, and sending you a warm, friendly hello from civilized Iowa. I'm half-Iowa, by the way, New Yorker. 😛 😉

Anonymous said:that I can see them just using a standard link

But then you’re just sitting there being the only one, what should I call it, "special."
A real special case.

And I honestly don't get it. Is it just pure stubbornness? Are you trying to pick fights with the mods? Or is it just this desperate need to stand out? To be "unique"?

Look, if everyone else can manage to make their damn signature follow the rules, honey, I think you'll find you have to do the same. If you actually want to keep it.

I was just trying to help you out, I really don't want to go back and forth on this...☕

Whatever. Enjoy your cartoons. 😉

Anonymous said:my signature isn't just some "Tom and Jerry" nonsense. It actually means something deeper😍 😛

Look, just chill out for a second. I honestly don't see any difference between your signature and that link you posted; it's all the same thing, basically. It's one and the same!

When you click my T and J part... it just pulls up that same video clip again.

And if everyone else on this board has to follow the rules, you can't just go making yourself an exception.😉

Sarah Morris5 said:So, here’s the situation: my partner and I had sex on June 11th and again on June 26th. During one of those times, the condom actually broke, but we caught it immediately and he didn't finish. I took an emergency contraceptive pill about two hours later (took two Plan B doses, 3+3, roughly 12 hours apart). My period came back early on July 3rd—I'm assuming that was just a side effect from the pills. Then, on July 11th, I took a home pregnancy test using my first urine of the morning (a standard HCG test) and it came up negative. That was 15 days after the encounter. I'm wondering what you guys think—did I test too soon, or is there still a chance I could be pregnant?
Thanks in advance!!

You didn't test too early. Everything looks fine. Of course, there's always a "what if," and everything is out of our hands anyway. But if the test says negative, you're probably in the clear.

Anonymous said:so... basically one of the mods decided I'm being too much, so apparently I can't have my Tom and Jerry thing in my signature—you know, just a little YouTube link

Can any of you mods tell me what you actually want seeing in my signature instead? 😍

Look, instead of using a link (like the one you had), just write out "Tom and Jerry." If someone wants to see the cartoon, they'll click it and find it themselves. Problem solved, everyone stays happy.

And hey, if by some miracle you don't actually know how to turn words into links instead of ending up with THIS, I'm more than happy to walk you through it so you can get a decent signature: Tom and Jerry

velvetgull36 said:Hey everyone, I guess I'm joining the ranks of those dealing with issues too 🙂
I have a question—has anyone else dealt with symptoms like mine? My period should arrive around the 27th, and my husband and I have been trying for a baby, so I’m really hoping this is actually happening 🙂 basically... after about two weeks of trying, I started feeling nauseous—maybe an hour a day, lasting for three or four days—though I didn't actually vomit. My sense of smell is just off, much worse than a hunting dog's; I keep picking up scents that no one else notices (for instance, I woke up this morning and the whole apartment smelled like roasted chicken, even though there wasn't any 🤣🤣. Oh, and... I had a low-grade fever between 97.7 and 98.6 for two days. But the absolute worst part is the BACK PAIN—it was so bad last night that it eventually radiated down to my legs, making them feel almost paralyzed from the pain 😠😠
Please let me know if you've experienced anything similar; I'm just counting down the days until my period is late 🤣🤣🤣

Hold on a second. You said you just started trying this month, for two weeks straight? But you aren't even expecting your period until 13 days from now. You're just barely past your ovulation window; there's no way you'd be feeling this bad from conception already.

That sounds more like you're overdoing the "activity," and those heightened smells and stuff can happen during fertile days too.

The first signs of potential pregnancy usually don't show up until just a few days before your period. You might feel some breast tenderness, but you shouldn't even bother with a test UNTIL around the 27th.

Thirteen days left!!! That is a long time.

My advice? Just relax. Stop stressing out so much. Babies tend to show up when you aren't obsessively thinking about them. Like, you can't force it to happen right now. It'll happen when it's meant to happen.
Good luck. 😉

silvernomad17 said:Hey everyone, I’m really hoping someone here might be able to share some experience to help ease my mind. I stopped taking my birth control pills back on June 26th, and I did get my period right after, though it only lasted about three days and was incredibly light—just a few drops here and there. We had sex on July 9th, which was actually our first time without any protection, and we did it twice in a row. Since I went through a miscarriage about a year ago, I remember feeling certain I was pregnant because of those specific pre-period sensations—the mild cramping, the jitters, and just that general intuition—and honestly, I’m feeling those exact same things again right now. I can't tell if I'm just overthinking everything 😕
Is it actually possible to get pregnant so soon after stopping the pill? Also, it feels a little strange, but I've had this heavy white discharge for two days now, even though there's no odor at all.

Look, I've known people who were strictly on them—taking every single pill right on schedule—only to miss just one. Just one. And they kept going as if nothing happened, until they realized their stomach was growing and realized they weren't just bloated... so yeah, anything can happen.

boldhound6 said:I honestly don't have the patience to dig past page three...
So, how am I supposed to tell if someone actually quoted my post or replied to me specifically within a thread?

Just by reading, I guess. You're gonna have to scroll. 😁

Charles, you didn't mention when you're actually expecting your period? Is it running late on you?

And, 48 days without any action?? 😛 Uh.. 😉

Wait, what? 🤷

There are different types of codes out there. With one, you just end up with a dead link, but if you use the other one, you can actually use the IMG tag to embed the image directly so people can see it.

^Man, you seriously caught the swine flu or something!!!!!!!!!!

(Just kidding 🤣)

Anyway, I'm just sitting here crossing my fingers that we actually figure out what happened with Maria Torres8 and why she didn't show up.
