Well, I went ahead and picked up another test on Friday, and it was negative again.

But today I noticed some spotting—just a little bit, but enough to confirm that I’m definitely not pregnant after all.

Anyway, thanks for all the replies. I hope you all enjoy your pregnancies; even though I was only certain for a single day, that feeling was honestly quite lovely... though it’s probably better for me to wait until things are a bit more settled and stable in my life.

Now that I know what you're all going through, I find myself feeling a little envious of you...

Now that I know what you guys are going through, I have to admit, I'm a little jealous.

It’ll happen when the time is right.🙂

sia_28 said:On the exact day I ovulated, I felt this dull ache in my lower abdomen, plus some weird brownish discharge on my underwear. We decided to go for it right after... But then I spent the entire night with that same pain in my lower belly, and it’s still happening... though only in the evenings. For the last three days, it hasn't been intense, just a really strange sensation. I was wondering if anyone else has dealt with something similar? Sorry if this is a bit much, but help...


I had those exact same pains, and it turned out I was pregnant. 😍

It might be something else, though. You should probably grab a test or check in with your doctor.

Maybe it isn't that for you, though... maybe just grab a test or see a doctor

I used to hope for something like that every single month—but I've kind of given up. If it happens, it happens, I guess... leaving it up to fate..................

I don't really hold my breath much anymore..........
I've just decided to let things happen as they will... besides, my period isn't due for another ten days or so, and honestly, the folks at CVS are probably going to start giving me weird looks if I keep buying so many tests.......

I might as well have something to look forward to for a little while longer...........

Actually, I think I'm mostly just comforting myself at this point.......

I've just decided to let fate take the wheel at this point. Besides, I've got my next paycheck coming in about ten days, and honestly, the folks over at CVS are going to start giving me some very suspicious looks given how many pregnancy tests I've been buying lately...

Let me have this one little thing to look forward to, okay? Even if it's just a tiny spark of hope...

Actually, let's call it what it is: I'm mostly just trying to comfort myself.

It’s funny—I thought I was finally starting to relax, but now my lower abdomen is acting up again, kind of like those pre-period cramps... except I don't have my period for another 30 days or so. I’m seriously considering ordering from CVS....... or maybe I won't, I guess I just don't know, but this whole thing is really getting on my nerves...😘

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.

Seriously, Benjamin Nelson8 says you shouldn't mess around with that kind of stuff.

I don't know, I just can't seem to find the time—but I guess I'll check in first thing tomorrow morning. I'll have to power through it until then... I'm really not a huge fan of these visits, but I'll make it happen, I suppose... hopefully it isn't too bad!

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...

Benjamin Nelson8 said:Nobody actually enjoys doctor visits, but you really can't mess around when it comes to your health.
I try to hit up my OBGYN twice a year—whenever I'm feeling somewhat normal, anyway—plus two dental cleanings, one blood and urine test, and all that.

It’s just better to get checked out so you know everything is fine... especially if you're actually in pain...

If I end up going, it'll definitely be because I'm totally freaking out—I'm just so on edge right now, almost like I've got early PMS or something, and I feel weird, just achy... kind of like I'm coming down with the flu... maybe that's it, but once I find out on Friday, I'll probably head in.......
Man, I am so exhausted I can barely type this. I'm gonna go crash.........😘 😘

So, I called up my local gin joint today to place an order, right? Everything was all set—until the clerk tells me they're totally booked up. But since I’ve got a bit of a family connection with the owner... well, I figure I’ll just head down there tomorrow and wait it out. I'm not leaving until they take me in—honestly, I've just had it with this whole situation lately...
I'll head over first thing tomorrow morning... and then we'll see how it goes...

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 😘

Oh man, I just did something so incredibly stupid... I guess my brain is just stuck on the idea that it might be "possible" that I'm pregnant, so I dug up an old test from two months ago and used it—even though it’s only been seven days since ovulation. I was just being impatient, and what do I see? Absolutely nothing. Total void. Now I'm sitting here trying to convince myself there's some tiny, barely visible line, but I think I'm just imagining things... I feel like I'm going to be sick. I know it's way too early to test, but I just had to know... and now I'm just feeling so silly and down about myself. It's just one more reason to go all out at the casino tomorrow—it doesn't even hurt today, but honestly, I'm losing my mind. I should probably just buy some new ones... maybe if I do, I'll have hope, but then again, I'm terrified of anything. Is it really too early? Please, someone, tell me everything is going to be okay... I promise I won't get my hopes up ever again.

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.

Every single muscle in my body feels disappointed—it’s just one thing after another. I guess the more I try to convince myself everything is fine, the more anxious I get... so I'm just going to leave all my options open for now and see where life takes me. Honestly, thank you so much for being there for me... it really does mean the world. I don't want to stress over anything else anymore... I'll just find out when the time is right.

Thanks again, seriously—it means so much to have your support... You know how everyone says, "Take it easy, you're young, you just got married," but for some reason, I just can't shake this restless feeling... who knows, maybe it'll all just work itself out naturally. Sending you a huge kiss!😘 😘 😘 😘 😘 😘 😘 😘
