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

Dana Cooper6, if I were in your shoes, I’d probably get a check-up before jumping straight to a full-blown panic 👍

I just finished reading through these posts and now I’m actually starting to worry... 😢... Because if I'm being honest, nothing seems to be going my way lately... But reading your stories—especially from bebace and smrc... It’s had me tearing up for days... Imagine how I'll feel later.
Yeah, placidgardener19, I'm running late, basically since October 23rd or 24th... And honestly, anyone in my shoes would probably assume it was a spontaneous pregnancy first...
Linda Hernandez15, maybe you have a point. Maybe I shouldn't panic before everything is official. Maybe it's fine...
Going to grab a test now; I can't wait until tomorrow's appointment. I'll let you know what happens!
Sending love to you all...
I really regret not checking in during those 15 days when I was so certain we were expecting... My partner and I had already planned a trip to Boise on the 20th... 😢

Just got off the phone with my sister and brother-in-law. They’re picking me up now so we can go grab that test. Honestly, I don't even know what to think anymore... and I'm not just thinking, I'm crying like a baby. Wish me luck... Love you most, thanks!

Dana Cooper6, I have absolutely no clue what you're getting at 🙄 just list the damn test requirements already—for crying out loud—and quit moping about nothing

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

Dana Cooper6, if you’re actually pregnant and obsessing over this whole situation, you’re honestly just going to make things worse for yourself. It’s not leading you anywhere except straight toward a breakdown. You really need to just take a breath and decompress. Go grab coffee with your girlfriends, get out of the house, and just enjoy life—if the baby is meant to come, it’ll happen when it happens. Honestly, if you’re already acting this stressed, it’s no wonder things turned out spontaneous; high levels of anxiety can trigger just about anything, including that.

Moon, please don't get so worked up! Honestly, it’s just not good for you—under any circumstances. Hang in there.😘

Anyway, just wanted to give 😬
an update. There was no amount of bleeding; my test this morning was totally negative 🙄.
So, I went ahead and ordered those ovulation tests online, so we’re going to try to be a bit more "strategic" about timing things 😬

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

Benjamin Nelson8 said:Jesse Flores842, did you make it to the OBGYN yet?

Unfortunately, no. They didn't get me on the schedule until next week.
To be honest—I’m actually a little spooked by how long the delay is—but I suppose it isn't unprecedented, even if it's never been this egregious before.
It’s that constant sensation where I feel like I’m about to have an accident at any given moment—it’s just... constant pressure. I know those can be pregnancy symptoms, but here we are: this is my third test today and it's a solid negative.

Where did our Moon child disappear to today? She was panicking so much yesterday, yet today there’s absolutely nothing to be heard from her.

Moon, just make sure you get that test done... and do it in the morning (if you haven't already).

One more thing, Moon—I think you might be a bit too young to have a son-in-law.🙄 😬(You mentioned somewhere above that you're heading out for the test with your sister and her husband...)

Moon, just go take that test... and do it in the morning (if you haven't already).

And one more thing, Moon—I think you might be a little too young to have a son-in-law. 🙄 😬 (You mentioned earlier that you were heading out with your sister and her husband to take that test...)

Seriously though, where did she go??

A son-in-law—well, your sister's husband is your son-in-law (just as he is to your parents), just like your brother's wife is a daughter-in-law.😉

Basically, she meant her sister and her sister's husband.

Jesse Flores842 said:Wait, seriously, where?

In the US, your sister's husband is your brother-in-law—just like your brother's wife is your sister-in-law.😉

So, she was clearly talking about her sister and her husband.

Washington, D.C.—or what? 🙄 😕
I'm from the Midwest, so I don't follow all this slang. 😎 😬

crimsoncrane3 said:So—Washington, D.C., or what?! 🙄 😕
Look, I’m from the Midwest—straight-up heartland—so I honestly have no clue what you're even talking about with those spikes. 😎 😬

Yeah, I think she mentioned being from Washington, D.C.
Well, I’m an American through and through myself—though these days, I tend to run in circles with folks from all sorts of different backgrounds. 😬

Linda Hernandez15 said:And one more thing, Luna—I’m thinking you might be a little too young to have a son-in-law 🙄 😬 (you mentioned earlier that you were heading to that test with your sister and her husband...)

I mean, maybe in some parts of the US people don't really use the term "father-in-law," so they just default to "husband"—or maybe Luna is just messing with us.

Linda Hernandez15 said:I guess in some parts of America, they don't even have in-laws, so I suppose you just call them "the husband," though maybe on Luna they just mess around with it too.

So, what actually happened with Moon Child?? 🙄
Honestly, the whole thing is just irritating on so many different levels. 🤦
And is that test completely busted now? 🙂

I didn't mean to call you out, Linda Hernandez15, sorry. I just got worked up over this annoying idea that I’m going to go whip up a whole batch of dumplings and polish them all off myself!!!! It’s like when someone cuts to a commercial right during the season finale cliffhanger... Just keep it moving, girl, keep it moving!!

Satya is pregnant 👋
Her hormones are all over the place—honestly, probably giving me a run for my money

She’s pregnant! We simply cannot be compared to her!

Or maybe some moon child is out there having a blast somewhere🙂

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