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

Yeah, I’ve always tried to keep my stomach tucked in a little bit, but lately, I just CANNOT! It feels like it wants to pop out on its own all the time 😁he's got a mind of his own.

I'm sending you a huge thumbs up! 😘

sweetie, good luck, good luck, good luck!!! 😁 I’ll be sending some good vibes and positive thoughts your way too, I guess... maybe they'll work!

I took a test on Sunday afternoon after drinking a ton of water, and it looked positive, but if it was, it was basically the most faint line in existence. 🙂
I don't even trust these tests at all, whether they show a positive or not. 🤷

That is what we call a faint positive, which means you are pregnant!!! Congratulations, mama-to-be!!!

it's just me, you see, our spark is really starting to catch fireeeeeeeeeeeeeee 😁

Look, I honestly can't tell if there was actually a line there or if my eyes just hallucinated one after staring at it for five minutes straight—so it might not even count 😢, but whatever, I ordered some Clearblue tests to arrive later this week, so I'll see what's really going on, and maybe they'll even show up early 🤷 either way, I'll know 😘

thanks for all the massive amounts of good vibes everyone is sending 🙂

really hoping I am actually gonna be a mom 😍

👍 For sure 😍

hey hey hey, let me know! 😁 good luck!

By the way, ladies, for all the future moms out there, I was wondering what age group you all fall into? 🙂

I happen to be 79 years old.

24, just finished those 😉

Ladies, stop cluttering up this thread with all this chatter; head over to the Wannabe meetup instead, where you can talk my ear off as much as you want.

And just to give you a little glimmer of hope, one of my symptoms was that I suddenly couldn't even pull my stomach in, even though I used to be able to 😉

let's gooo..

Lindsey, if you ever find yourself heading this way, shoot me a DM 😉

Douglas Taylor2 said:I should be getting my period in about ten days, but I honestly don't feel like waiting around. I guess I'm not quite sure how realistic it is to expect to gain a couple of pounds and have that little bloat by March 30th, which was when my last one showed up. Also, what’s the deal with the ovulation spotting? When I did a test about a year ago, I used a urine cup, and most of them seem pretty much the same to me...

Same here, fellow mom-to-be. I spent the entire morning wrestling with my own thoughts, basically doing homework for a first-grade class. 🤣

Looking at everything you wrote... it’s way too early for a test. You’re better off waiting until around April 28th or 30th. If you’re wondering if you might already be pregnant from last month, well, there are women out there who still get their periods for three months straight while being pregnant, even if those cycles seem regular.

If you’re suspicious, either take a test now or just hold out until the end of the month.

As far as this month goes, there is absolutely no way you could feel a pregnancy bloat or a bump right now. Not a chance. With a first pregnancy, most people don't start showing until after the second month. In my case, I didn't see anything until I was about four months along.

With subsequent pregnancies, it happens sooner, but still, you aren't seeing anything before that second month hits.

Lindy Hop😁 and we're still just sitting here crossing our fingers... I'll let you guys know how things turn out in the morning, though it's not like I have anything better to do at work anyway.😁

🤔 I have seriously never even heard of those kinds of tests before?????😕

Anything can happen. During my very early pregnancy, I gained weight incredibly fast. I actually have a photo from a birthday party where I was only about two weeks along, and you could already see a tiny bump starting to show 😍(I had already put on about 4 pounds). At the time, I was having a wedding dress custom-made for an after-party, and with every fitting—which happened roughly every three days 🤣—the dress just kept getting tighter. My seamstress was completely baffled 😲. By the fifth week, I was up 11 pounds 😁. It eventually leveled off, and I dropped most of it quite quickly after giving birth. The point is, anything is possible 😉...

Hey ladies, I’ve been sitting here waiting since 5:00 PM, just counting down the minutes until my appointment with Dr. Miller...
I’m already over three days late, and honestly, I don't even know what's happening to my body anymore because I'm dealing with this weird heartburn, pelvic pressure, and total exhaustion—it’s like I can’t even tell what’s going on! To make matters even more confusing, I actually took a pregnancy test yesterday afternoon and it came back negative... So, what on earth am I supposed to make of this?

And hey, from what I've been seeing in various examples, I guess those tests can actually be wrong quite frequently... :/

Did Douglas Taylor2 take the test yet?
