Grab a test! (For anyone wondering if they're pregnant)

Ksenija, welcome to the club!!!!😘
🙂
So glad to hear everything is going smoothly for you.
And garlic...🙂 man, I keep the powdered stuff on hand and toss it on basically everything I eat. Plus, it helps keep the colds away, I guess.😬
Honestly, you don't even need a doctor or some fancy tests as long as you've got the Serpent and her Mayo encyclopedia by your side.🤣 🤣
Anyway, once again,😘

Linda Hernandez15 said:Oh, absolutely—you all used to hang out constantly back then. 😍Just make sure you put up a massive pile of fairy lights, kids go absolutely wild for that stuff. 👍

I am well aware. MM and I remain quite childish whenever Christmas rolls around.🤣

Mary D. said:Welcome back, Ksenia!😘
🙂
I am glad to hear everything is going well for you.
As for garlic...🙂 I just use the granulated stuff on almost every meal. Plus, it's great for keeping colds at bay.😬
Why bother with a gynecologist or an ultrasound when the Serpent is here with her Mayo encyclopedia?🤣 🤣
Once again,😘

I absolutely love it. My husband can't stand the smell. Honestly, I haven't eaten enough garlic to satisfy me since my wedding day.😢

Kate Garcia2 said:I absolutely adore him. My husband can't even wrap his head around it. Honestly, I haven't had a decent garlic clove since our wedding day 😢

Well then—get a divorce and go enjoy all that garlic, or just come over to my place for a few days and we'll feast together 🙂

I certainly won't go through a divorce just for the sake of garlic 🤣
(Honest to God, I’m looking for an exit strategy because my husband refuses to let me eat any garlic 😁 🤣 )
As for that other proposal... hmmm... it does sound rather tempting 😁

My dad actually can't stand the smell of garlic, but he just had to deal with it before he got married, and I guess he still does. Especially now. As long as it doesn't bother me, he doesn't care who else asks for it.😬
He thinks it's totally fine to snore through the entire night, so I just deal with it.😠

Kate Garcia2 said:Well, I’m certainly not going to go through the trouble of getting a divorce just over garlic🤣
(honestly, I might actually *want* one if my husband wouldn't let me eat garlic whenever I wanted 😁 🤣 )
But that other suggestion... hmm... now that sounds tempting 😁

People have split up over much pettier stuff—but hey, if you're planning on making a move, you better do it while you've still got that baby bump to make you look more "serious." It's all about that demonstration of vital life force and all that 🤣

Mary D. said:He seems perfectly content snoring his way through the entire night—so I guess I’ll just sit here and take it.😠

Ugh, the snoring. Seriously. 😕 Once he’s had a few drinks, everyone just clears out of the room—it’s like an emergency evacuation because nobody can stand listening to him anymore. 🙄 My absolute favorite part of the night? Letting him snore so loud and so aggressively that he basically wets himself in his sleep. 🤣
So, I’ve had this happen maybe two or three times now during my pregnancy—I’ll be snoring away, and he just notices. Then, the very next morning, he’s sure to point it out, like, "Hey, you were snoring last night." Honestly? It doesn't seem to bother him that much, though. 🙄

Linda Hernandez15 said:omg, the snoring 😕 once he's had a few drinks, the dogs literally bolt out of the room because they can't take it 🙄 but honestly, my favorite part is letting him snore so loud and heavy that he basically scares himself into peeing the bed 🤣
🙄

🤣 🤣 🤣

Jamie Jones8, stop wasting your money and time playing guessing games. Just go see a doctor and get a blood test for beta HCG. Grab a referral, head over to the endocrinology lab on Main Street around 7:30 AM, and you'll have your results by about 2:00 PM.

Zmijica said:What else are we supposed to do when there are at least three threads on the front page all sounding exactly the same? 🙂

Just go buy a test, girl. We aren't some kind of mystical fortune tellers here.
If it's positive—well, that's your answer. Period.
If it's negative—you probably aren't pregnant, but hey, go see your doctor anyway just to be sure.

I really didn't want to say anything, but honestly, I am getting so bored reading these posts. Thanks to Zmijica for noticing it too. Seriously, people—there are at least five or six open threads right now titled stuff like "My period is late, am I pregnant?" I truly cannot wrap my head around how these women don't just grab a test immediately and find out. They come on here acting like we're some sort of crystal ball readers.

Joshua Clark, you actually noticed it too!!!!!!!

Honestly, I feel like all these separate threads should just be merged into one single post. There’s really no need for everyone to keep opening new ones, is there?

Joshua Clark said:I AM ACTUALLY LOSING MY MIND!!!!!
Seriously, I’m scrolling through twenty different threads and everyone gets the exact same reply-
IT’S YOUR BODY AND NONE OF US HERE HAVE A CLUE IF YOU ARE PREGNANT OR NOT SO JUST GO BUY A TEST AND GET IT OVER WITH!!!
I mean, sorry, but it’s just the same thing over and over again... Michael Garcia23 has probably told people to buy a test a million times already. Major props to her, but honestly, I just can't deal with it anymore...
If you guys don't even know your own bodies well enough to tell if it's a cold or a pregnancy, why on earth would you think we do?!
"..is it just late or am I pregnant?
am I sick with a cold or am I pregnant?
did I just overeat or am I pregnant?
is it PMS or am I pregnant?"
😱 😱 😱 😱 😱 😱 😱

🤣
At least something made me laugh today... Joshua Clark, you're a legend 👍

Alright, all the threads are finally linked up. Now I can dump everything right here. Thanks, Alex 😘

George Peterson said:Jamie Jones8, I really think you shouldn't waste any more money or precious time on this, so maybe just head over to the clinic to get checked out and have them run a beta HCG blood test. If you grab a referral, you could probably swing by the endocrinology lab over at the Mayo Clinic around 7:30 AM, and then you should hopefully have your results back by about 2:00 PM.

thanks!!!😘

Haha... I totally missed this one. It’s basically the law.
🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉

Way to go!🙏
Was it just PMS or am I pregnant?, a cold or pregnancy, my period is late, wait is this actually happening?!...
Did I miss anything?😬
I figured we should have everything in one spot so all the moms-to-be can read through everyone else's stories before they go through it themselves.🙂

What did my cold do to me?! 😬

Honestly, I had already read quite a bit about this before I actually became pregnant—so I went ahead anyway. I wasn't sure about the timing for the test, you know? Like, was it too early or what? Plus, I was feeling absolutely miserable at the time. I definitely didn't want anyone taking it personally or getting upset with me. I really hope we don't see this many similar threads popping up anymore. Maybe you could add some specific guidelines to the thread title? 😁

Karen, I am relieved to see the trolls didn't descend upon your thread—as if we needed more chaos 😉. It is good to know everything is fine 🙂
Now, go enjoy your pregnancy! 😘

So, I’m just sitting here reading and reading... but I guess when you're dealing with a "situation" like this, and maybe you don't have anyone you feel comfortable opening up to—or maybe you just don't want to, or perhaps everything is just feeling totally overwhelming and brand new to you, just like it is to me—you end up heading straight to a forum to ask all those "silly" questions. 😬
..these were actually the very first pregnancy tests I've ever taken in my life... my very first encounter with beta HCA Healthcare levels... 🙂

That's why I think you pregnant ladies should please bear with us frantic newcomers who are just wandering around this forum asking questions that we already know you might not even be able to answer for us...

🙂

By the way... I'm honestly a little embarrassed to admit this, but I went ahead and took yet another test 🙏 using the Sign test with my second morning sample, and it was negative... oh boy... 😲
