Fingers crossed for Monday night's sleepover 😘

Uh... you’re definitely seeing pregnancy symptoms (unless you’ve always been a massive sleeper). In the beginning, I could pass out whenever I hit the sheets... just the slightest feeling of touching my bed would send me right into a nap. And the fatigue is still hitting me hard; I just woke up a bit ago (around 5:00 AM) 😬 snuggled up in Meta's arms, and he didn't even move until I woke up :muscle_twitch:

😘 I feel you... I know exactly what that waiting game feels like (thankfully we haven't been at it for long, just three months) when you want something this badly.... I wanted to be pregnant the very second we decided to start trying, but life doesn't work that way.....

I'm crossing my fingers that my period doesn't show up and the test comes back positive.....😘

It’s entirely possible you’re pregnant, but your HCA Healthcare levels might just be too low for a home test to pick up yet... unfortunately, all you can do is hang tight until the day your period is actually due.

I know people who had a negative result even six days after their missed period, only to have it turn positive a few days later... everyone’s body works on its own timeline.

Great idea... just tell them you're in agony so they can't turn you away. Emergency cases can always cut the line 👍

John Doe, let me know how it goes 😘

Let me know how things went at the doctor's office 😘

Nobody actually enjoys making doctor appointments, but you seriously shouldn't gamble with your health.
I make it a point to see my OB-GYN twice a year (whenever I’m feeling up to it), hit the dentist twice for checkups, plus one visit for bloodwork and a urine test.

It's always better to get checked out so you have peace of mind... especially when you're actually in pain...

Go see a doctor at the Mayo Clinic and stop stressing yourself out. It could be anything from a pregnancy to some kind of infection... this isn't something you should mess around with.

Unbelievable 😂 😂 😂

Based on this, everything is perfectly fine... which means we're totally normal 🙏 🙏 🤣 🤣

Anna Ox said:Thanks Benjamin Nelson8, I just hope they confirm it tomorrow so I don't have to sit here waiting indefinitely. I really want to share the news with everyone, since I haven't told anyone yet besides my absolute best friend. Just waiting on those official results!!

I told my family right away after telling my doctor, but the girls over here found out first because the doctor was traveling—and that kind of news isn't something you just relay over a quick phone call.😍

If I hadn't heard it straight from the source, I would've lost my mind...🤣 🤣 🤣

Then the parents went and spread it to everyone else, some people even knew before their 8-week checkup.
We didn't buy the stroller until I was 10 weeks along.😬
I refuse to dwell on the negative outcomes; I keep telling myself I'm going to have a healthy, happy baby, and that honestly helps a lot... because you hear all kinds of horror stories out there... and I worry about everything.

I'm heading in for my first OBGYN appointment tomorrow. What's the deal with those? Can they actually confirm the pregnancy at the very first visit even though I'll just be starting my sixth week tomorrow?
I'm a little jittery because I really don't want to have to wait another two weeks just for a doctor to tell me it's official. How does this whole process work? Is the home test enough, or am I going to need a million pieces of evidence? How was it for you all?

In my case, at 5 weeks, they could see the gestational sac, but no embryo yet, and my uterus was already enlarged.
If you're entering your 6th week, they should definitely be able to tell you—basically confirm—that you're pregnant.
You don't need any extra proof; just telling them the test was positive is plenty. 😘

They'll do a vaginal exam and an ultrasound, and if necessary, they might send you to the lab for blood and urine tests. They'll also likely refer you to Mayo Clinic to get your blood type, Rh factor, and hepatitis markers checked.
They'll walk you through everything, so don't worry.

If you were two months pregnant, a test would have picked it up by now. During pregnancy, your HCG levels double almost every single day, and these tests work specifically by detecting that hormone in your urine.
If you aren't sure, just go see an OB-GYN for a proper exam.

Things can only go downhill from here, but hey, at least we’re having a blast talking nonsense and blaming everything on some newly discovered hormone 😬

I hope so. Or maybe she just headed out to the suburbs to give her partner the update in person.

Jesse Flores842, did you stop by Gin's place?

Dana Cooper6, what's the deal with the test?

No way, ladies 👍
