Just head to a 24-hour CVS and grab a test. If you’re eight months along, that thing is going to show positive. At this stage, there is zero chance of getting a false negative.

And once again, it all boils down to one thing: just buy the damn test.

I thought so, but I’m starting to realize that even the experts at unknown aren't always 100% reliable. I've always relied on morning urine tests, and they immediately told me I wasn't pregnant. But if those results are actually right, then I can't explain the physical changes I'm experiencing—and I know I'm not just imagining them. For instance, my gums have been bleeding, and I had this brownish discharge during my last period. Everywhere I look online, it says those are typical side effects of pregnancy. Fatigue, weight gain, headaches—sure, I could write those off as something else, but this?

I’m honestly leaning toward you not being pregnant again. If you were actually expecting, those tests would have picked up the pregnancy hormone in your urine by now—it's just how biology works. Seriously, honey, try to take a breath and stop overthinking this. Once you head in for your checkup, you’ll finally have a definitive answer and can stop the guessing game. Just try to relax, because the odds of you being pregnant here are probably somewhere around 000.1% 😘

I’ve been testing with my first morning urine, and it immediately told me I wasn't pregnant.

Every site says those are normal pregnancy symptoms. Fatigue, weight gain, headaches—sure, I could be imagining those, or they could be from something else, but this?

When was the last time you took a test, and how long had it been after the condom broke?

And maybe you’ve got some kind of hormonal imbalance going on—which, let's be real, you definitely do since your profile says you have untreated PCOS. Your gums might be bleeding because of gingivitis. You could be exhausted because your blood pressure is low, or maybe you're anemic. Or maybe it’s just the change in seasons. Or stress. Stress can mess with your digestion, give you headaches, and wreck your immune system.

Linda Hernandez15 said:Oh, please! You’re totally kidding me—you're just going to sit there and claim she's faking the whole pregnancy? That is such a ridiculous thing to say! Honestly, you've got to be joking around somewhere... seriously! 🧐

🤣 😂

As for the whole situation with the legal stuff—honestly, just keep charging ahead! We’re all one big, happy, slightly chaotic family here, and we've got each other's backs! 😁

Edward Green, you’re making some really great points here.
Honestly, I'm leaning more towards it being a hormonal imbalance rather than actual pregnancy myself.
Then again, if you think about it, pregnancy is basically just one big hormonal rollercoaster anyway! It's all just a matter of things being 😉

m@mm@ said:Well, I used to think Gravignost was always super reliable, but looking at it now, I guess it might not be as foolproof as I thought. I’ve been testing my morning urine, and it immediately tells me I'm not pregnant. But if the tests are actually right, then I just can't make sense of some of the physical changes I'm going through—things I know for sure aren't just in my head, like my gums bleeding and that chocolatey discharge I had during my last period. Everywhere I look online, it says those are totally normal pregnancy symptoms. I mean, I could maybe convince myself that being tired, gaining weight, or having headaches is all related, since there could be plenty of other reasons for that, but this stuff? It feels different.


..BLEEDING GUMS, maybe a vitamin C deficiency... or even just some bacterial or viral issues

Honestly, you probably aren't pregnant; I think it might just be a bit of paranoia... I was acting exactly the same way just last week!
I remember reading somewhere that dizziness is a symptom of pregnancy... and then one day while I was standing on the subway, I suddenly remembered that and started feeling all dizzy too...🙄 🙂
And I also read that phantom pregnancies are actually a thing, which is wild😲

I ended up taking several tests... (three times total, including using Gravignost... all came back negative)

And today, my period finally showed up... red as can be... ugh, it hurts, but honestly, I'm just relieved 👏

But seriously though, you should definitely go see a gynecologist and just have a good chat with them about everything...

Such a little balavica—just you wait until you're my age 🧐 and dealing with everything I am :Perozdero:

Edward Green said:And hey, maybe you’ve got some kind of hormonal imbalance going on—which, let’s be real, you probably do since you mentioned untreated PCOS. Your gums could be bleeding from inflammation. You might be exhausted because your blood pressure is low, or maybe you're anemic. Or it's just because fall is here. Or stress. That can trigger digestive issues, too. And headaches. And a weakened immune system.

Give me a break, Edward—we were just trying to lightly spook her, not give her a three-week death sentence. 😁

Good grief. None of those issues will even cause her any trouble, let alone qualify for a single day of medical leave. 🤣

bibobu said:Good grief, you certainly picked the right doctor 😬 , what does the subconscious actually do to a woman? 🤣

By the way, my dog had similar symptoms when she went through a false pregnancy. The only difference was she didn't have bleeding gums, and I couldn't tell if she felt something "rolling" around her stomach.
But she was incredibly gassy, eating like crazy, and constantly exhausted...
It’s likely you might even experience lactation eventually; that's what happened with her. 😎
Just go see a decent gynecologist already. 😁
Oh, and we ended up getting our dog spayed afterward, and she's much better now... 👍

I'd rather pull my hair out! 😵 😂 🤣 🤣 🤣

It sounds like you might be dealing with a false pregnancy. 🧐

Is everyone here losing their minds? I’m actually weeping.🤣 🤣 🤣

Yeah, right. I’ve been through all that, even hit rock bottom, and look at me now! 🙂

Fine, maybe I’m not the best example. 🤣

Alright, maybe I’m not exactly the gold standard here 🤣

Honey, how many times did you fail that test before we actually realized? 😉
