Can't even get this image to upload... god, what a mess. Just my luck, right?

And look at this. No avatar, no reply button, no quote option... nothing.

Even my homepage is broken. See how there aren't any of those little icon boxes on the left where the messages usually sit?

She did that, but now I can't even type a post...

I'll just take a photo and upload it...

So, I’ve got a massive problem here.... while I was typing a message on the Democratic Party forum, I accidentally hit Control..... and everything just went haywire. Suddenly the forum looks absolutely gigantic..... I could barely figure out how to zoom back out. It’s somewhere in the frame now, but there's no way I can actually write anything because those white sheets—you know, the sidebars—have completely vanished from the left side. Now, when I open a thread, I don't even see the option to reply or start a new topic. It's just gone from my screen...

I'm using Mozilla...
I've tried every trick in the book, following all the instructions I found online, but nothing works. Specifically this

tools
clear private data—except I can't even find that option in my Mozilla settings...

I even tried logging in under a different username, but it's the exact same mess...

Now I'm stuck writing this through Internet Explorer...

If anyone knows how to fix this and get my Mozilla forum view back to normal, please help me...

I need step-by-step instructions because my English isn't great...

Please, someone help...🙏🙏

Anonymous said:It’s sort of pinkish... but I’ve never had this before. And what about this feeling of weakness?

Well, there’s always a first time, right? Our hormones are basically just a chaotic mess most of the time... which explains the weird discharge and the aches and pains...

If you're really sitting there wondering if you're pregnant, just go grab a test at $11...
... it's not rocket science.
But honestly? I don't buy it. If you just finished your period and had sex right before it ended, the math just doesn't add up for you to be pregnant already. It's just not how it works... nowhere in the US.

And even if you did have sex after your period, there's no way you'd be feeling symptoms just a few days later. Biology doesn't move that fast.

Maybe it's just stress... or maybe you ate something that didn't sit right...😉

Anonymous said:I’m kind of freaking out here... my period ended about a week and a half ago, and the last time I had sex was two weeks ago. Now, I’ve been dealing with this weird discharge for six days straight—something I’ve seriously never experienced before. On top of that, for the last five days, I haven't eaten anything besides chocolate, and both yesterday and today, I’ve been feeling super lightheaded, though I haven't actually thrown up. Do you guys think there's a chance I could be pregnant?? Is it too early to even take a test since my period hasn't actually missed yet? Or am I crazy?? Help... I feel like I'm fading away...

Nah, you aren't pregnant. Most women get that kind of discharge right around the middle of their cycle, somewhere between periods.

You didn't mention what it actually looks like, though. Is it white? Or what?

velvetgull36 said:So, here I am—not trying to leave you all hanging... but I went to a shoot today and didn't have time to run a pregnancy test... plus, I can't help feeling like it might be too soon 😢
I'm honestly a bit conflicted about whether I should even bother... though I suppose most women probably feel this way during these things 🙂))))))))))))
Anyway, I'll just get it done in the next few days and let you know 🙂!!!!!!!!!!

Dammit... well, there goes the big news for the day 🤣... though I guess you did technically share something 😁...

We're probably more high-strung and anxious than you even are... so just chill out 😂..

Whatever... just do it when you feel the timing is right and when you're actually ready... maybe you can save a few bucks on the test kit while you're at it 😉

Dennis Flores77 said:Man, I am dying to know how this all wrapped up. rapidrider3, keep us posted 🙂

How did it end? It hasn't ended yet....

I talk to these girls, and at first they were dodging me, but now they’re all over me talking, while I haven't said a word about this whole mess to them.

My neighbor—she hangs out with my uncle Peter's wife—they were chatting one day, and she turns to me and goes, "Well, you're the best judge of what she gave you..." I just stare at her and say... yeah, there's the problem... because she hasn't given me anything, but everyone else is gossiping like she did...
It's just all hearsay, really...

Now school has started back up and they need to buy books... and once again, the money just isn't there.... but apparently, Uncle Peter got absolutely wrecked at the company he works for. Basically, they called in some other handyman (you know, a side guy) to finish things up (nobody wants to finish a job someone else started, except him, obviously). Everything was set, we got a quote for materials from the local hardware store (we still need about 11 $0.00) and the guy said he'd have it all done for about $217. Peter was actually planning on charging us an extra 2 $0.00 for his part.

And get this—the kicker is, both of them work at the exact same company!!!!
And of course, the other guy called him out at work, asking how someone could be such a crook and charge that much?
At first, he tried to play dumb, acting like he didn't even know some Mr. XY, but then the guy reminded him that the house is right across the yard... so he just shut up and mumbled something under his breath...

What exactly he said, who knows... long story short, he got chewed out big time.🤣
So now I know the rest of the crew knows what a scumbag he is too...

So, yeah.....
We're struggling with cash right now. There's no way we can scrape that much together, and we don't even have central heating, just a single stove in one room. And it's a two-story house....

velvetgull36 said:Could use some advice 🙂 So, I had my period on August 29th, but it was weirdly short and much heavier than usual—plus, I didn't have any of my typical symptoms, like cramps, breast tenderness, or those sugar cravings... after three days of bleeding, I had this heavy discharge that lasted for four days (which has honestly never happened before)... then about a week ago, my breasts started feeling sore... today they're doubled and actually painful... even though my next period isn't due yet. My breasts never hurt like this for no reason. If I were pregnant, I guess I'd be about three weeks along—would a test actually show a clear result by now? Looking for advice from people who've been through this 🙂 Thanks 🙂

Based on how things work, if you're pregnant, you've actually been pregnant since month 8, which makes your "weeks" count higher.

To get an actual calculation, you'd need the date of that period from July.

August 29th.
Let's say last period was July 30th + 7 days = August 6th, first day of conception (roughly speaking).
If that's the case, you might be around 5 or 6 weeks along right now if you are.

Just go grab a test and take it in the morning. Seriously. If you've been pregnant since last month, it should definitely show up by now....

(PS: Experienced lady here, had 6 pregnancies...🤣)

Ethan Rivera95 said:Sorry to barge in here, but I have a bit of a silly question! My local pharmacist mentioned that you can take a pregnancy test as early as the fifth week. It got me wondering—is it actually possible for a doctor to miss a pregnancy on an ultrasound during the fourth week? Thanks!

A bit late to the party...

If you haven't heard back yet, yeah, you can technically take a test starting around week 3—or more accurately, the very first day your period is supposed to show up. But honestly, waiting a day or two until you're actually late is probably your best bet.

As for that ultrasound at week 4? It's almost impossible to see anything. We're talking microscopic stuff. At that stage, any little bump or even a tiny cyst in the uterus could easily be mistaken for an embryo.

You usually don't see that tiny little dot until maybe week 5 or 6.

placidsurfer15 said:So, I finally saw that second line pop up on the test and honestly, I’m over the moon right now.😍
It’s all still sinking in, though—I haven't really had any crazy symptoms or anything, just a missed period, a quick test, and boom, there it is!

Now I’m spiraling a little bit wondering which vitamins I should start loading up on? I haven't taken a single supplement yet, and I’m low-key freaking out because I just want everything to be perfect and healthy from day one.

Congrats! You say, "lo and behold"... yeah, it really is a miracle, isn't it? Just one of those things...

As for the vitamins... well, there's a million kinds out there. Just head down to a CVS or a Walgreens and ask them. They'll know better than anyone what you actually need..

redbadger26 said:Lindy, this has nothing to do with an allergy. From what I can tell, it’s either a bacterial infection—though that seems less likely—or maybe herpes, or even shingles, depending on whether they already had chickenpox. What the OP is dealing with is something else entirely.
Hope your kid is doing okay!

Look, I never actually said it was an allergy...😁

He had some chickens... I mentioned before I couldn't remember their names...
He had chickenpox about four years ago.

It cleared right up, no scars at all, thank Bog... his skin is perfectly clear now...

As for the OP... who knows? There are hundreds of different skin conditions out there... I just posted her photo in case she recognizes it as something she's dealt with before...

But seriously, she needs to see a dermatologist. This isn't something to mess around with.

So, I grabbed this photo off my phone from back when my little guy was dealing with that whole mess... first it started out as these random spots, then they turned into blisters, then scabs, then just patches of dry, rough skin. It lasted forever...

This shot is from when those blisters were flaring up—definitely the absolute worst part. It looked pretty gross, honestly... she’s got some stuff on her shoulder too, though it's just that dry, sandpaper-like skin there, plus a few other tiny spots here and there...

I'll drop the link since the picture isn't exactly pleasant to look at, so consider this a fair warning... if you have a weak stomach...

Olivia Murphy24 said:Streptococcus usually causes those nasty, pus-filled sores, and you shouldn't be using Betrion on any kind of allergic reaction😉

Mine didn't have any pus or anything... just these weird patches... I can't even remember the right word for them... some kind of rash or whatever...

And honestly, it doesn't necessarily mean it's an allergy...

I’m not sure if it’s the exact same thing... honestly, my kid had similar patches earlier this year. We took him to the pediatrician and she said it was... uh... some kind of strep... or something similar. Some kind of bacteria? I can't quite recall the specific name they used.

It was pretty awful... I actually still have photos of it on my phone... and man, it dragged on for a while.

She recommended using BETRION

along with that OCTENISEPT spray ($12 you know, the one that works)

And that cleared him right up... maybe try asking your doctor about those.

If that isn't it... sorry... I just want to help.

I asked her why it happened in the first place... but I didn't get a straight answer. Then again, everyone carries their own stuff inside, I guess, and sometimes it just surfaces.🤷

thanks Lupus 😉

Yikes... I didn't realize this was YOUR forum... I thought I was posting on the main board...
My bad, guys... 🙏🙏 🙈🙈🙈

Patrick Taylor8 said:Sorry if this sounds like a total rookie question, but I’m curious—how do people actually get their hands on these emojis? Like, am I supposed to download them or what? Is there even a way?

I’m kind of liking these, so I was thinking about posting them on my own forum... if that’s even an option? Anyone willing to give me a little hand here?

So... those folks on the right side? Yeah, while you’re sitting there typing away... when you go to drop a post... see them? Just pick whichever one you want. One click and they're yours. Simple enough, isn't it?😉😉😉😉

So that’s all there is to it, huh? That’s your grand wisdom? Real profound.

Lupus.Give me a break, man! Seriously? 🙂🙂

hiddenheron20 said:Thank you all so much!!! You’ve honestly made my day—actually, you’ve kind of made my whole life better.
I have to admit, I was a little skeptical at first—mostly because I have this one massive, persistent wish that I’ve been holding onto for ages.
Thanks again 🙂
Wishing everyone nothing but the best and lots of happiness

Right back at you. I really hope everything works out perfectly and you get to bring that little one home...😍

hiddenheron20, huge congrats on the pregnancy!!!!😉

^^ 50:50.....

You can grab tests for $11 too!! Honestly, if you aren't pregnant, those cheap ones will give you the exact same result as the fancy $30 ones from CVS. And if you actually are... well, they work just the same.

Kevin Morgan3 said:When it comes to when I'll actually ovulate... man, it's a total mess... you just never know with my PCOS... which is why I was on the pill for nine years straight.... so I honestly have no clue.... my last cycle started on the 29th, and the one before that was the 18th.... it's kind of a freaking nightmare... my nipples are super sore too.... and I've been peeing a lot... but then again, I drink a ton of water, so maybe that's just it. I mean, I doubt this is actually what it is, but I've got this little nagging thought in the back of my head that just won't let up...😉

Look, if your last period started on August 18th, it's way too early to be feeling pregnancy symptoms, and definitely too early to run any tests. Just hang tight until mid-September—maybe the 15th or 16th. If you haven't started by then, and if things start feeling even weirder than they do now, go ahead and take a test.

For now? Nothing. You're barely a couple weeks past ovulation... so yeah, it's just too soon to tell anything.
