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

Oh, please... I'm sure every woman trying to conceive is drinking this stuff 🙂 I know the drill, but he just doesn't buy it! Anyway, I've got an appointment with my OB-GYN this Friday because—believe me—my head is spinning... everything is such a mess right now. I can't even tell when my next period is coming, since my ovulation days are all over the place... it's a nightmare. I'm just hoping they can help me make sense of it all 🙂

I went through the exact same thing once—my period was seventeen days late. I was a complete nervous wreck, honestly, just pacing the floor... but my breasts didn't even hurt enough to give me an excuse to complain. Then, it turns out I had cysts. One was huge, maybe 6x8cm, and there was a smaller one too. And get this, green fluid was actually leaking from my breast. My doctor told me it was likely just because of those cysts...

So, look, if you don't have any cysts... then you really ought to go get some checkups done...(assuming you haven't already)...

Last time I went in for a checkup, the doctor mentioned a small cyst—though he did suggest they often pop up during ovulation, which was exactly where I was at the time. He figured it would just clear up after my period, and that’s what happened. But maybe he missed something, because I think it just ruptured, and now a friend is telling me it's supposed to be incredibly painful—which, honestly, is a nightmare.
I guess... I don't really know... I'll probably just head to the OBGYN and see what they say. 🙂

Hi ladies, I could really use some advice...
My last period started on August 12th, and my cycles usually run anywhere from 34 to 37 days.
I took a test yesterday (on day 35), but it came back negative.
My breasts are incredibly sore, I’m feeling occasional pains in my lower right abdomen, and my mood has been really low lately.
Is there any chance I just tested too early?
My husband and I are trying so hard to start a family...
Thanks so much for your help.

It doesn't have to be painful. Honestly, they just vanished for me during every pregnancy I had, and I didn't feel a thing. They just change up the rules whenever they feel like it, don't they? Like those parasites are just cleaning you out or something. Though, then again, I did hear that if one actually ruptures, that’s when the pain kicks in.

Why don't you just head over to the ultrasound yourself? Just go check if it’s actually there or not. I mean, what else can you do? One time, I had an ultrasound done at a clinic near Chicago, and the technician was working with some old-school equipment—real clunky stuff—but they managed to get a clear reading right after my results came back from the lab. It’s all about that timing, isn't it?

It’s not too early to worry, I guess... but look, the baby will show up when it's ready for you. There's no sense in spiraling into a depression over it. It won't help, and yeah, I know this whole waiting game sucks. It really does. But everything happens on its own timeline, doesn't it? Just hang in there for a few more days. If you haven't heard anything by the weekend, maybe run another test. Honestly though? I have a feeling you'll know before then.

Hey everyone... I need some help here... My last period was August 22nd and I'm expecting it in a few days, but my cycles are always all over the place so I never know exactly when it'll hit. Anyway, about four days ago, my nipples started getting red at the tips and they feel sore and kind of bumpy...
I'm 18 and I've been having regular sex with my partner. About six days ago, he finished on my lower stomach—I washed up immediately, though. I really don't want to be pregnant right now and this whole thing is stressing me out big time. I'm losing my mind wondering if this is even normal. Can anyone help? Is this just stuff that happens before a period starts?

Look, I don't mean to be rude, but I'm thinking this is just from the sex... you're growing up... and maybe your guy was just a little heavy-handed with his hands on your chest, that's all. Nothing out of the ordinary...

Everything's gonna be fine...👍

A bloated lower abdomen won't lead to a pregnancy, though if he spilled any seed on your stomach before finishing... that might actually do it. Also, tender nipples can definitely be a sign of pregnancy. I'm really hoping that isn't the case for you...

Just wanted to let you guys know I went in to get my blood work done today... specifically that beta test...
The number came out to 0.133...
That's sounding pretty negative, isn't it...

Hey everyone, I was looking at the timeline, and if I'm reading this right, the encounter happened about six days ago. Since symptoms started popping up just two days after the fact, I honestly feel like that timing doesn't quite add up, if you know what I mean.

Yeah... and
look, from what I understand about your situation—if you haven't had a period in two months but that hCG test is negative... there is NO WAY you're pregnant. 😁

Hey ladies, I need some input. Honestly, I’m freaking out right now and could really use someone to talk me off the ledge. My boyfriend and I always use protection, except for this one time about two weeks ago when he finished on my lower stomach—I washed up immediately, obviously. But then, a few days later, my nipples got super sensitive and the tips turned red. I’m spiraling because this has never happened before. My last period was August 22nd, so I should be due any second, but nothing yet. My cycles are always all over the place anyway; sometimes it’s a 20-day gap, sometimes it's 34. It’s mostly the nipple thing that’s killing me—they were red for a week, though the redness is fading a bit now. Can anyone tell me if I'm losing it?
I am absolutely not looking to get pregnant right now :S

Look, you aren't pregnant. Stop stressing your brain out over it because you can't catch a baby through your skin... unless you're some kind of medical miracle, I guess...

I think we all know exactly which hole needs to be filled for a pregnancy to actually happen... if you didn't learn it from experience, you definitely learned it in middle school biology class...

Don't sweat it, babe, it'll come to you... probably right when you finally stop freaking out about it...

He didn't even go inside, just went on my stomach. So that doesn't count for anything, right?

If there wasn't any penetration, you aren't pregnant.
However, it might be a good idea to visit a gynecologist regarding those fluctuating and irregular cycles. You might have something like PCOS, and they could potentially prescribe birth control, which would solve both the cycle issue and the worry over unwanted pregnancy at the same time.

Well, here I am again. It’s been a little while since you last heard from me. I’ve been lurking and reading everything, but just haven't quite found the right moment to actually type anything out. So, anyway, just popping in to share some news...

I finally, finally laid eyes on my very first plus !!!!
It honestly hasn't quite sunk in yet—like, is this actually happening to me? Real life?
I am just over the moon!
Good luck to everyone out there!!!!!
