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

placidfox52 said:Hey ladies
Not sure where else to drop this, so I'll just throw it out here. 🙂
My period is late, so if it doesn't show up soon, I'm grabbing a test; but I’ve got a question (mostly because I'd rather win the Powerball than deal with this right now 😁)... how many of you ended up pregnant while using the "pull out" method? Lately, my guy and I have been doing that—usually pulling out right before putting on a condom... I'm curious about the actual math behind it (since theoretical probability is a thing) and whether I'm actually in trouble. I feel like I read somewhere that the odds of getting pregnant this way are pretty slim.
Anyway. If there's a better thread for this kind of stuff, let me know. 🙂

If you actually did end up pregnant, trust me, it isn't like hitting the jackpot—I truly believe plenty of women have found themselves in this exact spot, myself included (even when he told me it wasn't even my fertile window, he still opted for the pull-out method anyway), and well... here we are, waiting for our little sunshine to arrive 😍... I don't know about everyone else here, but I'm certain there are others out there... Just give it a few more days, and if your period doesn't arrive, go ahead and take the test.

Hmm... so you're saying he didn't even finish inside, yet you still ended up pregnant??
Wow...
Mine is running late too... about five days, though my cycles have always been irregular, so it might be nothing. That said, I've been feeling nauseous all day today, which has me wondering if I might actually be pregnant. Still, it sounds almost too easy to conceive like that...
Hmmm...

I'll take one. I'm running a little late.
But I was wondering how common this actually is. I haven't really heard stories about women getting pregnant that way, even if I know it happens.
So, you actually got pregnant like that? Guess it's possible after all 😁
Maybe for me too

Joseph Murphy6 said:Nothing... 😢

and honestly, I’m kicking myself for testing right on the day my period was due...

I totally let myself get swept up in the idea of us having a baby. Even though I knew deep down it was way too early and could go south any second—plus, it was basically our first shot at it...
And I've never really been into the whole pregnancy thing. You could even say I wasn't interested at all. But man, this hurts. It's hard to believe. 🤷

Just feeling pretty down.

But whatever...

Next time, I'm waiting until I'm at least 10 days late before I even look at a test. We'll just get serious about it and hopefully, we'll see that plus sign soon enough.

Sorry for the vent...

I'm so sorry, Joseph Murphy6. I know that disappointment all too well, unfortunately.
did your period end up starting?🤷

Joseph Murphy6, I honestly don't get it either—how can you have two positive tests and still not be pregnant?!

Look...
I’m not gonna overthink it. Why, how, whatever... life happens.
That week was just pure chaos. A massive amount of stress hit me all at once.
But I'm done letting that happen to me.

There'll be another round...

Until then, I'm rooting for all you guys seeing those plus signs. 😍

Time to get back to work so I can join the club ASAP! 😉

Yeah, I guess so. But it was pretty weak—definitely due to stress, I'd say. No silver linings here.

Yeah, Doc says everything’s fine, so let's just get back to work... 😉

Joseph Murphy6, well, good luck to you then! I'm totally positive you'll be back here in a month posting about those double lines, and without any of the drama😉
just take it easy, cut down on the stress, and really focus on your health🙂
sending so much luck your way!👍

So, I was hooking up with my guy... at first we used a condom... then after maybe half an hour we went without one... he didn't actually finish inside though
I was supposed to get my period yesterday, but nothing happened. So today I finally took a test and it showed this incredibly faint line—like, barely even there, seriously
I showed it to a friend of mine who works at a CVS and she told me it’s negative... plus I’ve got those weird cramps like my period is coming, but honestly, my cycle is always late anyway.
But man, I am stressing out so much about this😢😢

Listen, if you can see a second line, then the test is positive, period. It does not matter how faint or "barely visible" it is.
Did you use your very first urine sample from the morning? You need to take another test immediately.

oh nooooooooooooooo...no no no no no no no no no no no no no no noooooooooooooo...aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh😢😢😢😢
and the lady at CVS just told me it was negative????
omgg nooo
😢😢😢😢😢

It wasn't even my first shift this morning... I mean, what's the big deal?
I didn't even start until around 2 PM.

My period still hasn't shown up, but I read this: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_are_t...atory_fluid%27 and figured out that pre-cum doesn't have sperm in it unless there was already some on the penis (like using a condom first, then going bareback). In my case, that wasn't what happened, so I don't think there's any chance I'm pregnant.
There. Maybe that link helps someone else. 🙂
later

Look, you really should use your very first urine of the day; that's when the hCG concentration is at its absolute peak.
If the result isn't what you're looking for, run another test and let us know how it turns out.
I am rooting for you to get exactly what you're hoping for.👍

Sooo... I finally got my results this morning 😁😁... and yeah, I even did a follow-up test first thing in the morning just to be absolutely sure 😁... it came back negative 😁
Ugh, well, I guess that’s a relief 😁
Thanks a ton 🙂

Well, that’s great news. Honestly, if my memory serves me right, I kind of saw this coming anyway. 😁...

At least you can finally get some decent sleep tonight.

Hey ladies, I posted here about a week ago because my period was a week late, but the test I took at Chronos came back negative. The issue now is that my period still hasn't arrived, and today marks 15 days since I was due. I don't have any typical symptoms, though I did run a fever for a few days and dealt with intense headaches—but honestly, I figured that was just a summer flu passing through. The only really weird thing I've noticed lately is some serious bloating 😛 that I've never experienced quite like this before. So, my question is: is it actually possible for a test to be wrong after being a full week late?
I had my regular OB-GYN checkup just a few months ago and everything checked out fine, so I'm completely lost as to what's going on here. 🙂🙂

yeahhh... ugh😁...I am just over the moon😁

granitesailor15 said:yeahhh... ugh😁...I am just over the moon😁

Honestly, I'm just thrilled the test came back positive

And look, even if you are pregnant, you have no idea how many women would give anything to be in your shoes right now 😉
