Where did my posts go? in Forum Help! · Nov 20, 2010

I just spotted a few threads below covering what happened... sorry for starting a new topic, mods can move this down to the original one whenever you want.
As for deleting posts—give me a break!!! This is seriously frustrating and honestly feels wrong. If they’re coming back, great; if not, I’m officially boycotting this forum. It’s just ridiculous to wipe out someone with 2,000 posts while the people with 15 or 20k get a free pass.

Where did my posts go? in Forum Help! · Nov 20, 2010

Not sure where else to go with this, so I'll just drop it here. I've been on this forum forever and used to have over 2,000 posts. Now, suddenly, I’m sitting at 413. What happened? Why did my post count just vanish into thin air?

Grab a test! (For anyone wondering if they're pregnant) in Pregnancy · Mar 7, 2010

Nicole Martin83 said:Okay, so "contact" happened on Jan 1st. Putting "contact" in quotes because there was zero actual sex—just some fingering. The only issue is he tried to push it in, but since I wasn't feeling it, my muscles just tensed up and obviously nothing happened. So, my big question is: could he have finished and then basically shoved sperm inside me with his fingers???

I got my period on Jan 11th (which was day 27 of my last cycle), then my ovulation felt super weird. Even during my period (which lasted its usual 6 or 7 days), I was dealing with nausea and headaches, and I was peeing constantly—though my doctor at the local clinic told me it’s probably just gastritis since I was freaking out over finals at the time.
Since I couldn't just relax about it, I took a test on Jan 20th and it was NEGATIVE!

Then I got my next period on Feb 2nd, lasted 6 days, but right before that, my breasts started hurting—which has never happened to me before. I can't say for sure because my memory is a bit fuzzy, but...
And again, around ovulation, I was peeing like crazy, though no nausea this time, just some acid reflux—but I've dealt with that for years so maybe it really is just the gastritis...

My third period came on day 28 of the previous one, so March 1st (my cycles are usually pretty much 28 days), and it was heavier than the last two. It's still going, though it's winding down now.

But what's really messing with my head is that my lower stomach is still so bloated! Mind you, everything I eat sticks to my stomach (I'm naturally thin), so maybe that's why????

What I actually want to know is: has this happened to anyone else? Getting pregnant without actual sex (I've never slept with my boyfriend...), but where sperm gets pushed in via fingers,
plus having three periods and a negative test???? 😢 😢 😢 😢 😢

I am losing my mind here and I need help! I already posted in the "Am I pregnant" thread, but nobody really gave me any clarity, and since you guys here actually have experience with pregnancy...

(Also, my labia look a little wider and kind of rough—could that be from the fingering, like they stretched during the "contact"?)

Please help me because I'm seriously stressed out. Honestly, the thought of taking another test and finding out the worst makes me feel sick. I'm young, I'm in college, and I have really conservative parents, so this situation is definitely not ideal. 😢 😢 😢 😢 😢

Unfortunately, yeah... there was someone on this forum once... what was her name... Trollsella or something... she got pregnant the exact same way and now she’s having triplets. 😍😍😍
Your fingers are freaking broken.. 🙂🙂

Look, since you're already in college, maybe crack open a high school biology textbook and go through the basics: menstruation, sperm, ovulation, intercourse, pregnancy..
Then maybe $10 take another test, chill out, and stay away from sex, "fingering" ( 🙂 ), and the internet for a while.
Go home!

Grab a test! (For anyone wondering if they're pregnant) in Pregnancy · Aug 31, 2009

I read the start of this story. You aren’t pregnant. For that to be true, Mars and Jupiter would need to be in some ridiculous constellation...
The test was negative—you aren't!
So, you're not!
Pregnancy can happen regardless of the stars, but going back to that Mars and Jupiter nonsense: if your guy's swimmers were actually torpedoing their way in like that, you wouldn't be in this position. You might want to pack up those nerves and find a better use for them.
By the way, calling a girl "untouched" is such an old-school, cringey way to say she's a virgin. I get why people used to say it, but still... just my opinion.
Oh, and maybe try having unprotected sex first before coming back to this thread. Or better yet, don't.😉 (Don't come back to the thread, just go have the sex).
Now go ahead and head to Starbucks without worrying. You aren't pregnant, and I'm sure the barista won't be able to read what you did with your boyfriend right off your forehead. Don't sweat it!😉

Dennis Kim5 said:Yeah, getting tests done is easy enough... but I'm heading to the OB-GYN this Wednesday and honestly, I have no clue if she’s going to jump down my throat and accuse me of doing something crazy—mostly because I'm bringing my mom along :/
By the way, I'm a virgin... well, technically, my hymen hasn't broken (I think?)
How am I even supposed to know if it's still intact? And even if it is, is there really any reason to be worried about it?
laaraaa??? Or anyone else??

Well, your mom isn't going inside the exam room with you. Or is she?😕
If you haven't had intercourse—which sounds like the case here—then you're a virgin. However, that doesn't necessarily mean your hymen is intact; it could have stretched or torn during sports or something else long ago. They aren't exactly the same thing. (Side note: the hymen is elastic and has an opening for period blood, so it might stay intact even after digital penetration, but it might not. Basically, a doctor can see if it's there or not, but even then, it's not "proof" of sex, just a physical observation. And honestly, does it even matter? It'll happen eventually anyway..)😁
Also, for virgins (with a hymen 😉), doctors often perform a rectal exam, so if your mom ends up staying in the waiting room instead of coming in, it wouldn't hurt to mention it to the doctor.. 😛

Don't stress yourself out... just buy a test.
Maybe I'll hold off on the hCG test for a few more days to see if this nausea finally clears up. If it doesn't, I'll just bite the bullet and get it done. I really don't feel like heading over to that clinic near me; my insurance isn't working, so I'd have to deal with some old-school doctor who’s anything but welcoming. Quick question though—do you happen to know how much an hCG test actually runs?🙄

Your hCG is at that lab in downtown Chicago, on the ground floor of the medical center. $50You head in during the morning, and you usually get results around 1 or 2 PM. You can pick them up in person or have them emailed over—they aren't exactly thrilled about giving them out over the phone.
