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

😘 I feel you... I know exactly what that waiting game feels like (thankfully we haven't been at it for long, just three months) when you want something this badly.... I wanted to be pregnant the very second we decided to start trying, but life doesn't work that way.....

I'm crossing my fingers that my period doesn't show up and the test comes back positive.....😘

Rachel Walker52 said:Oh my goodness, everyone, I just did something incredibly stupid... It’s like my subconscious is just constantly whispering that it’s “possible” I might be “pregnant,” so I went digging through the cabinet and found a test I bought two months ago—and yeah, I actually used it, even though it’s only been 7 days since ovulation. I was just being impatient, you know? And what do I see? A massive nothing. Just a big blank space. Now I’m sitting here trying to convince myself there’s some faint, barely visible line, but I think I’m probably just imagining things... I feel physically ill about it... Even though I know deep down it is way too early for a test, I just had to check... and now I’m just sitting here feeling sad and foolish... honestly, it's just one more reason to go absolutely ballistic tomorrow—well, it doesn't hurt today, but still—I'm just losing my mind... I should probably just buy more tests, I guess, just to have hope, but then again, I'm terrified of the disappointment... Is it too early? Please, someone, give me some comfort... I promise I won't get my hopes up again...

Hey Rachel Walker52!😘
I went through this exact same madness last month—bought about five different tests only to end up with a huge disappointment, even though I genuinely felt like conception might have actually happened, but maybe the embryo just didn't implant properly.😬
Keep your chin up.😘 The baby will come when you finally relax and stop obsessing over it. We all get impatient when we want something this badly, but everything takes time, I suppose.
I’ve decided to try not to dwell on it quite so intensely; whatever happens, happens.😍
I AM NOT BUYING ANY MORE TESTS FOR NOTHING.🤣
I'm crossing my fingers that you actually are pregnant.🙂
And hello to all the expectant moms out there; even though I'm not there yet, I read all your posts hoping to join the club soon.
Rachel Walker52, it’s going to be okay!!!!🙂

Can I offer some advice? 😘 Every single time you feel that urge to go out and grab another test, just stop—breathe—and put that cash into a jar instead. By the end of it, you'll actually have enough to buy something cute for the baby. 😉

Hey, that sounds like a solid plan to me! 👍

Sia, please let us know how today went! And seriously, take a deep breath... 😘

It was exactly the same for me! 😬
I even started getting a little bit worried that maybe something wasn't quite right... 😵 🙈just those nerves, I guess!

Linda Hernandez15 said:Can I get some advice? 😘Every single time you decide to buy a test and end up feeling overwhelmed, just take that money, put it in a little savings jar, and at the end of the day, use it to buy something special for the baby.😉

Magic—that’s actually a pretty solid idea.🙏
Well, since I've been waiting for five months now, I suppose I could have saved up quite a decent amount by this point—though, I guess, it's never too late to start.😬
Thanks, Magic.😘
And honestly, I've already been spiraling a bit—you know, those intrusive thoughts about "what if I can't have children?" and things like that.🤣
But then I try to shake off those ridiculous thoughts and just throw myself back into my work.🤣

So, what’s the word from the wife?

Jeremy Nelson3 said:then I just shake off those stupid thoughts and get back to work🤣

Sure, you can—if you’re feeling impatient about waiting for that test money to roll in, you could always blow it on some scented candles, a nice glass of wine, and massage oil while you wait for your bank account to grow. In the meantime, you could always just lie face down and let your significant other give you a massage instead.👍

😬 I am already doing 😍 all of that, honey—I light the candles once he finishes cooking dinner, and I have a glass of red wine almost every night (blackberry wine... supposedly good for my iron levels 😬) and there is some massage butter lying around that I use here and there. 🤣
Though, I suppose that money could also be used to somehow motivate him to actually get back to work more often. 🤣

Maybe try cheering him up once in a while with that "extra cushion" of yours 😉

Linda Hernandez15 said:well, maybe try cheering him up once in a while with that "clumsiness" of yours😉

The weight plates have already been bought 🤣

😂
Well, then you clearly have everything you could ever need—you might as well just start spoon-feeding yourself at this point 😁

😘 Hey everyone—it’s so sweet how you're all eagerly waiting for me and my little results... though my doctor hasn't said a word yet. I actually thought about getting all dressed up and heading over to her office this morning, but I totally overslept through her entire shift—so much for being productive! I didn't even get around to making lunch for my husband... but luckily my mom was here to step in, so he didn't go hungry. I guess I just woke up to find my phone dead—I left it plugged in overnight and forgot to set my alarm, so I missed her entirely. I suppose I'll just have to wait until Monday morning... I can manage a little longer, right? To make matters worse, my car broke down, which is my only way to get around, so there was really no way for me to make it. Oh well... hopefully Monday rolls around fast. It doesn't hurt right now, so I'm not dwelling on it too much... though I do have to pee constantly... and I'm just so sleepy. I think I'll head back to bed for a bit... kisses to everyone!😘

Uh... you’re definitely seeing pregnancy symptoms (unless you’ve always been a massive sleeper). In the beginning, I could pass out whenever I hit the sheets... just the slightest feeling of touching my bed would send me right into a nap. And the fatigue is still hitting me hard; I just woke up a bit ago (around 5:00 AM) 😬 snuggled up in Meta's arms, and he didn't even move until I woke up :muscle_twitch:

Fingers crossed for Monday night's sleepover 😘

That guy of yours sounds lovely—really sweet! I’ve always been a bit of a sleepyhead, I guess, but maybe not quite this much... I don't know... and my temperature has been up every single night too. It's been 99.1°F the last couple of evenings, when 96.8°F used to be my max... maybe just a little cold, or maybe it's what I'm hoping for... who knows, right? I won't find out until Monday, though—until then, I'll just keep hoping... regardless of how things actually turn out... kisses!😘 😘

Oh wow, you’ve actually put together quite the impressive little checklist of symptoms here! 😍
Fingers crossed.

How stunning! I really hope she has more coming out soon (fingers crossed)! Honestly, I’m pulling for her!

Hey everyone... I feel like I'm constantly dealing with these weird symptoms, though it might just be way too early—I guess... and by the way, my test came back negative, so maybe I just tested too soon? But whatever... I really shouldn't dwell on all the "what ifs," it's just exhausting... plus, I still have five days until my period starts, and Monday is coming up fast... so I'll find out then how things are going. Right now, I'm just nesting in my bed—you wouldn't believe it, I just woke up and my husband has been gone all day... he went out with his buddies to work on some farm stuff and they're grabbing lunch there. It’s actually kind of crazy having the whole day to myself, just eating my Corn Flakes and feeling surprisingly happy today... I think I'll set up a little romantic dinner for him tonight, and then it's straight back to bed... I honestly just want to sleep, especially since my head is pounding this morning—probably from sleeping too much, I guess. I've got so many symptoms going on—sore breasts, bloating, a bit of a fever every single night, and lower abdominal pains... also, I've been getting diarrhea quite a bit lately—sorry if that's a little TMI, but it's definitely more frequent than usual. The cramps are awful, too—they make me break out in a sweat the second they hit, it's just the worst... I have some white discharge, but only a tiny bit, and I've been burping a lot, especially in the mornings and evenings... none of this has ever happened to me before... my back hurts, I'm not sleeping well, and I'm just tossing and turning... I don't know, it's just a bunch of strange symptoms and I can barely get through making the bed without needing a three-minute break... it's a total disaster... etc... there's a whole list of little things, but maybe it's just intense PMS... who knows, right? Anyway, I'm heading back for another nap—sending you all huge kisses!😘 😘

👋 looks like we’ve got a new pregnant lady joining the ranks—or at least a whole new category of "maybe" pregnant 😁

Maybe just some magic blue—I guess? It’s kind of pretty—anyway! kaže:
👋 Looks like we have a new mom joining the group—or maybe just a whole new category of "almost pregnant" folks—I guess! 😁

And my little bit of magic—it just seems to give people hope, even if it’s maybe a little "fake" hope... I guess.

I don't want to bore everyone here with my symptoms—I've been dealing with this for almost three months now—but honestly, it’s never felt quite this intense... even right now, there's just this dull ache. I can't even stay in bed anymore; I feel totally wiped out, though I guess I keep obsessing over these little symptoms because they're kind of the only thing comforting me right now... I decided against buying more tests and followed your advice, so I'm just going to wait this time... it feels like my only option, but I'm not giving up—if nothing happens this time, well, a new month is coming anyway... I don't even know what to think anymore, I just really hope I'm not imagining all of this and that there's actually a chance... ha... it seems way too early for all these signs since it's only been nine days since ovulation and my period isn't due for another five or six days... so, who knows? I'm basically living on this forum lately... I won't even let my husband touch his laptop... I'm constantly hovering around him, searching for any tiny sign or some silly clue that tells me "this is it," but I think Monday will probably be the real answer to my doubts... oh well, we'll see what happens.
