You really ought to consult with your OB-GYN...
Kids are constantly picking up viruses and all sorts of bugs, so honestly, it might be better if you just took sick leave immediately.....
rustyorca15 said:CONGRATULATIONS, ruggedhound14!!! And I was wondering... is everyone here currently pregnant, or are there others who are actively trying to conceive as well?
We're pregnant 😍 😍...it's a mix of both groups...everyone is welcome here 😘
I had pretty much the same symptoms, but nature decided not to make things easy on me... just hang tight for a few more days and then take a test.
My breasts were sore too, I was running to the bathroom constantly, and I had this sharp cramping in my ovaries... but honestly, I just chalked the whole thing up to PMS. My appetite went through the roof and I was bloated like a balloon.😬
~~~~~~~~~ hoping for a positive result by Wednesday😘
You shouldn't even bother heading to the doctor until you hit that 6 or 7-week mark. There's absolutely nothing to see before then, and I don't want you spiraling into a panic for no reason... we're all just waiting for that positive test result! 😘

The date isn't actually the deciding factor here. For some people, beta levels just climb a little slower, or maybe conception happened a few days later than expected, so there isn't enough beta in the system yet for the test to even pick up a reading...
analogwolf27, I’ve got my fingers crossed that you see that line show up either today or tomorrow... For some people, there isn't even a visible line for several days after they expect their period to arrive. As for me, the very same day it was supposed to start, the line appeared—and it was incredibly obvious.
It just makes conceiving harder, and since you're consistently on the pill without missing a single dose—and he didn't even finish inside you—there's a very high chance you aren't pregnant. Then again, maybe you're part of that lucky 0.3% where it actually worked despite everything...
My primary care physician didn't even realize I was pregnant... and let's be honest, it isn't like I'm hiding it 😬 She clearly didn't even know what prenatal care actually entailed, so I can't say I'm surprised by this incompetence...
I felt like I was dealing with full-blown PMS—ovarian discomfort, bloating, tender breasts (actually a bit more intense than my usual cycle), and this heavy fatigue. I didn't think much of the exhaustion at first since I'd just been on vacation traveling quite a bit, so I figured it was just travel burnout... but looking back now, everything started hitting me about three days after conception. 😬
It’s better to be caught off guard by a positive result... if you decide to try when you aren't expecting it, you're just waiting for that plus sign. But if it surprises you like this, you don't have to spend every single day obsessing over whether it happened or not 😘
When it's finally time to take a test, if M doesn't show up on the expected day... definitely let us know 😘
Bill Gates said:Benjamin Nelson8What on earth happened to you? Did you catch some kind of 28-dot plague or something? 🤣 And that’s contagious too, isn't it? 🤣 😘
I was the first one to start using the dots. 😂 😂 A friend was messaging me on Messenger, so I just started doing it too... completely unconsciously. 😂
Look, her test isn't any more reliable than those cheap ones you grab at CVS....just wait until the day M is supposed to arrive, and if she doesn't show, then run the test..........I've already told you before that some people had a negative result even six days after their period was late, only to have a positive pop up a few days later......
It's way too early right now to diagnose anything...the uterus doesn't just expand five days after conception. Mine didn't even feel slightly enlarged until I was about eight weeks along......there's still hope......just be patient 😘
