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

Hey everyone,
I took a test this morning and it was just a single line 😢
My last resort was back on November 5th, and we were together on the 15th—which was actually the only time, unfortunately, since things just didn't work out for us to be together again—so I’ve been wondering if it’s even possible to conceive. Some of the math suggests that the 15th might have been my first or second fertile day, though ovulation usually hits around the 22nd... I can't tell if I just tested too early, even though I tried to wait as long as possible before taking it. I'm starting to feel those classic PMS symptoms, mostly just some mild cramping in my lower abdomen for now. My cycles haven't really been consistent lately either; over the last few months they've been all over the place, like 28, 26, 33, then 35 days...
I'm honestly not sure if there's any chance at all. In my case, I guess my guy's swimmers would've needed to be pretty high-energy to hang around and wait for my egg to show up ;-) I'd love to hear what you all think about this.
Best, Anne

Anne, since it's clear you're eager to conceive, you might want to head over to the "Wannabe Group." There are plenty of us there who can answer your questions and join you in waiting for that positive result. 😍

I have to admit, it’s actually a really lovely feeling and I’m just totally happy about it. As for my boyfriend, he doesn't want a kid. Well, he doesn't have to if he doesn't want to, I guess, I'm just sad about it. Sending love to everyone here who's standing by me.

👋
Congrats on making such a brave decision!

I personally got absolutely roasted in here—to the point where even the moderator had to step in and explain the whole abortion debate thing to me...
Anyway, from the bottom of my heart, I hope you truly enjoy every little bit of this, and I honestly admire your courage, because that isn't a small decision at all. I'm sorry about the situation with your guy, but it's not the worst thing that could've happened, I suppose.
My own pregnancy made me feel genuinely happy, almost like I was finally complete, so I totally get why you're feeling so happy and content.
If you need anything at all, just shoot me a DM. The girls in the "wanna-be moms" group and the actual moms are all wonderful, so if you're feeling bored or just need some advice—come hang out with us!
😘

micek, nobody was roasting you, it was just a well-intentioned comment (from my side too). Take it easy, okay? Love ya.

Does anyone have anything they can share with me? It would really mean a lot if someone could weigh in on this...

Thanks, Markov's mom 😉

While you didn't explicitly mention abortion, weren't you presenting all those arguments against the pregnancy—mentioning your boyfriend, your parents, and how young you are?
Hang in there, because you have truly made a brave decision!👍

are those really arguments against having the baby?🤷
I mean, I’d say more like just... anxiety caused by an unplanned pregnancy. I had no idea people categorized all that stuff as "arguments against" the pregnancy itself!
as far as I'm concerned, parents should probably be the last ones trying to argue their own kid into getting an abortion...
total nonsense, if you ask me.

Hang in there.🙂

Don't let it get to you. Don't give them the satisfaction. 🙂

My thanks to everyone. Cheers.

My thanks to everyone. Cheers.

Well, I guess it’s my turn to chime in... I’m pregnant and honestly, I am just completely lost 😢
I’m only four weeks along and I'm already weighing the idea of an abortion. I don't want to go through this whole mess alone, but I also don't have the strength to deal with it by myself. brisbadger11, seriously, major props to you 👍

Here's the deal: I have a boyfriend who is absolutely over the moon about adding a new member to the family, but there's a massive catch—I'm not even sure the baby is his. God, I feel sick just thinking about it. I cheated on him, and now everything is just falling apart 😢
I am totally spiraling and I have no clue what to do next 😕

This is a messy situation... but let's be real, nobody can help you except yourself.
Are you actually prepared to raise a child on your own? Are you even in a position to do that?

Can you sit your boyfriend down and have a brutally honest conversation about this? Though, knowing how he might react, that’s a massive question mark—which is a perfectly reasonable expectation.

And are you ready for the fallout of a potential paternity test? Like, would they even want that to happen?

At the end of the day, no one here is going to dictate your life. This choice is entirely yours.
Good luck, and keep us posted on how things unfold...

Yes, Kyle James5, I forgot to ask—could you actually live peacefully with the fact that your current boyfriend believes he's the father of that child, while you sit there knowing he might not be?

How many weeks ago did she cheat on you?
Get yourself to a doctor immediately. Once you have the actual facts, send me a DM.
Hang in there. This can happen to anyone.

Look, kids aren't born out of love or marriage—they're born from sex. We just all realize that a little too late.

I’m feeling nauseous basically all day—morning, afternoon, evenings... though nighttime is definitely the worst part

I haven't actually thrown up once, but the feeling is just awful—it's constant, like I'm always on the verge of it

Some people are telling me I might be pregnant, but I still got my period... and this nausea has been hanging around for about two months now

What do you guys think—is there a chance I'm pregnant or not?

You probably wouldn't know the answer if it hit you in the face—but hey, maybe go ask that crystal ball expert over there, she’ll give you 🤣

p.s. either take the damn test or just head to the doctor if you're dealing with your period and feeling like garbage 🙄

or as unknown put it:
just type out the keyboard layout and we'll read the results off your screen 😁

look,
there’s an entire thread on the Parenting forums dedicated to "Buy a test," so I'm just going to move this over there.
we can't keep playing these smart-aleck games with each other
at the end of the day, the decision is yours anyway—and even if you grab the cheapest test available, if it comes back positive, it isn't a fluke 😉

My period started last Saturday, but it was gone by Monday morning... which is wild because mine usually lasts a whole week...
Is there any chance I'm pregnant? I don't really have any other symptoms...🤷 😕

It’s definitely possible, especially if your flow was unusually light this time.

But honestly, just take a test so you aren't left guessing.😉 ....

If it's positive—congratulations! If it's negative, go see a doctor to make sure everything is okay (that's what I would do).

Keep us posted.

Took a test, and it came back negative... I’m feeling a little bummed out, I guess... Maybe I'll go see my doctor on Monday.
