I felt like I was dealing with full-blown PMS—ovarian discomfort, bloating, tender breasts (actually a bit more intense than my usual cycle), and this heavy fatigue. I didn't think much of the exhaustion at first since I'd just been on vacation traveling quite a bit, so I figured it was just travel burnout... but looking back now, everything started hitting me about three days after conception. 😬

Yeah... that is the cold, hard truth.😬
You spend your whole life waiting, listening to your body, "enjoying" those sharp little twinges in your ovaries—and let's be real, you're basically living in suspense, praying that things finally 🤮 click 😬 just like that.
You end up throwing money down the drain on endless tests... doing them way too early, like two days after ovulation... and it just goes on and on.🙏

sia😘 I am standing right there with Tyler Thomas12.

Just to be crystal clear—I have officially decided that I do not want to be pregnant.😬 Let’s get that out of the way now.🤣

P. S.
Since my previous attempt at getting pregnant didn't exactly yield any results—leading me to the very logical conclusion that if I "flip" my decision, then MAYBE I'll actually see some progress.😎

Also, I just put down the deposit for my ski trip.🤣 🤣

I guess I'll just leave this here—hope you guys have a good one! kaže:
I guess I should probably start by saying hello—it’s nice to finally be here! Maybe we can all get to know each other a bit over time—I'm looking forward to it.😘 Just signing my travel docs—looks like I'm all set to go!

So, I've pretty much decided that I don't want to be pregnant—I guess that's just where I'm at right now.😬 Just wanted to let you guys know—just in case.🤣

P. S.
So, my plan to get pregnant just hasn't quite taken off yet—which led me to this little realization—so I figured I might just try "flipping" my mindset to see if that helps things along... maybe? Maybe—I guess? A little bit of progress—I guess!😎

I just finished paying for my ski trip—so that’s all set! 🤣 🤣

Well, I guess that might just be for the best—maybe. 😘 My husband and I decided the same way—we aren't actively trying or planning for a baby right now. If it happens, great! If not... well, I'm sure it'll happen eventually—it's probably just a matter of time. I guess it's better not to overthink it, since life usually throws you those unplanned curveballs anyway. So, just enjoy your ski trip and don't stress about babies or pregnancy or anything like that. Don't even let it cross your mind—just focus on having fun and enjoying intimacy as much as you want. It’s clearly not the right time yet... there will be plenty of time later.

We're still young... I guess that's what keeps me going—it really is.
🤣 🤣

Yeah, I bought a test, and it says negative... but the symptoms won't quit. It’s been nearly three months now, so if I were actually pregnant, wouldn't it have shown up by now? Even though the instructions said only to dip it to a certain line, and I basically dunked the whole thing in there... could that be why the results are garbage? In the meantime, my lower back and abdomen are killing me, I feel weak, I'm struggling to catch my breath, and my heart is racing. Help!!!

The instructions say you're only supposed to dip that little indicator at the top of the stick. If you soaked the whole thing, maybe that's why things look weird. I'd probably just head over to Planned Parenthood to be safe. Especially if it’s already been three months!😲
Either you're pregnant or your hormones are just acting up...

It’s been almost three months now, so I figured if I were pregnant, it would have definitely shown up by this point, right? Though, looking at the instructions, it says you’re only supposed to dip it up to a certain line, and I totally messed up and dunked the whole thing almost to the end! Is it possible that ruined the result? Anyway, regardless of the test, I am feeling absolutely terrible. My lower back and stomach are killing me, I feel super weak, I'm struggling to catch my breath, and my heart is racing like crazy. Help!!!

Three months! Can you believe it? Time is just flying by, seriously!😲
Oh my gosh, honey, what are you even waiting for?! Seriously, just forget all those tests and head straight to the gynecologist!🙂

And here we go again, quoting Alex 😁 "grab your gear and head straight to the gynecologist"

But seriously, regarding birth control—don't play games with your own body. You only get one shot at this, and there isn't a replacement part available when things go sideways. 🙂

Hey everyone!
My period was about 10 days late, so I decided to grab a pregnancy test. It came back positive, but honestly, I’m still convinced it might be a false alarm. I read somewhere that pregnancy tests can sometimes react to certain hormones that overlap with thyroid issues, and since I already deal with thyroid problems, I'm feeling pretty skeptical. What do you guys think? Is there a real chance this is just a mistake? I've already scheduled an appointment with my OB-GYN, but it’s not for another two weeks, and this waiting game is absolutely killing me.

My delivery was ten days late, so I grabbed a test and it came back positive. Honestly, though, I’m convinced it’s a mistake because I read somewhere that pregnancy tests can react to thyroid hormones, and mine are a bit off. What do you guys think? Is it worth seeing an OBGYN immediately? I managed to book an appointment, but it's not for another two weeks, and this uncertainty is driving me crazy.

Back to those "things" again. We've learned that calling them "things" usually means a period, and calling an OBGYN a "butcher" is a bit much.😬

When you booked that appointment with the "butcher," did you mention you might be pregnant? They’d likely try to squeeze you in sooner. Also, why the doubt—was there unprotected sex, or are you on the pill?

It is entirely possible you aren't pregnant. A positive result isn't strictly tied to thyroid issues; any kind of hormonal imbalance could throw things off.
Why wait so long for a doctor's visit? Get in there sooner.

By the way, why is this thread even here? Shouldn't this be in the pregnancy section?😲

Honestly, I think you guys are being pretty jerks, making fun of her like this. She actually asked for your input because let’s face it, this situation is heavy. If it were me, I’d be such a wreck I couldn't even function properly..

And look, if I were you, I'd probably head straight to an OB-GYN as soon as possible. Not trying to freak you out or anything, but being ten days late on your period with a positive pregnancy test? That's definitely not something you can just brush off..

And honestly, you should probably see an OB-GYN as soon as possible. I don't want to cause any alarm, but being ten days late with a positive pregnancy test isn't something to brush off.

Who’s actually joking? Besides, if she's looking for answers, she should have addressed the questions already asked. This feels like another one of those attention-seeking loops.
