ive been checked out many times. over and over and over. considering i have periods that lasted for 56days. i most likely have endometriosis, (it runs in my family) but they have to cut you open for that to be diagnosed. i know i do have ovarian cysts, i even had one pop during sex a couple different times. it was horrifying and i cried a lot. i asked about this because i was dead asleep when it happened. and ive never popped one outside of sex.. fact of all of it is, i know my body, but i dont know what happens when you get pregnant. so i was looking to ask someone who has experienced it.
No... That's not how that works in order to be diagnosed with endometriosis. For medical management, yeah.
I second (and third) responses that you need to find a doctor to take this seriously.
And also that implantation bleeding is rare, don't symptom spot and take care of your body.
I 2nd that - my doctor had me do a regular AND trans vaginal ultrasound to look at how thick my lining was and was able to determine where to go from there

If it IS implantation bleeding, take a test in 1 week and it will be positive.If it's negative then it's just your irregular cycle. My periods are ridiculously irregular so i can sympathize with the symptom spotting because unlike alot of the ladies on here commenting and making fun, you kinda learn to listen to your body for ques more so than the woman with a regular cycle. Before i went on BC years ago, i would have dark blood, spotting and horrible cramps - the Dr. said it was because my endomitrial lining was getting too thick and it was just old blood.
Hiya! I'm on CD127. Does that mean I'm qualified to give advice? Because I still say no implantation bleeding and she should go see a doctor.
Well, according to what I wrote I basically said if it is implantation bleeding the test will be positive - which is true, and that for ME it turned out to be other issues and I saw a DR. i never encouraged her thinking that it was implantation.
You're not getting my point. You said you knew how the poster felt because, unlike the rest of us, you have irregular cycles too. If you have been lurking you would know that myself and others have irregular cycles and we still don't encourage symptom spotting. It also doesn't mean ladies who have regular cycles, but are well informed, shouldn't be allowed to give advice.

Actually I did lurk and saw alot of really nasty, unsupportive users. Most of them seem to have been banned, and since I love the site I'll stick around because some ladies offered amazing insight and advice. When you spend your entire adolescence being taught that just being in the same room with a boy will get you pregnant, and your youth trying NOT to get pregnant, when you actually do want a baby you're like "ok, how does this work?". And how exactly are those of us that are new to the board, or just started the journey to parenthood contribute, exactly? It seems like unless you had an IVF or IUI you're not taken seriously. Even though this our first month actively trying we have been "seeing what will happen" for over a year so yes, I can sympathize with the original poster's confusion.
To your first point, a lot of good regulars have been banned because people don't know how to use the "report" button and treat it like a "dislike" button. I have lost a lot of good friends here for this reason (rip @27alex). The thing is, we don't sugar coat the truth around here but that doesn't make us mean. Honesty =/= mean
To your second point, I came here after 4 months of TTC. I have been taken seriously. You know why? Because I have been a supportive and contributing member of this community.
I am sorry that you think otherwise but I think if you spend more time hanging around, your perception of the "meanies" is going to change.
Honesty is not mean, i've lurked here and other sites for a year and there's a big difference between being honest and making sarcastic remarks at the poster, who obviously doesnt know any better and hounding them for not sharing their chart AND calling them a liar. I've been charting on my phone for a year and I dont even know how the one on this site works let alone how to upload it. We're all on here because we want to be pregnant, and more than likely it's not happening right away for most of us. I'm used to the disappointment by now but I remember how hard it was to get my hopes up and "have all the symptoms" and the test be negative. It's hard enough to feel stupid about getting excited, it doesnt help when one of the best rated support boards are full of douches and trolls.
If she really had a chart, she could say, "my chart is on X website, can you tell me how to share it." and not just ignore the question.
You are not going to change the tone of this board. Many have tried. Many have failed. The better choice would be to find a board that fits your taste and try posting there. But thanks for calling us douches and trolls.
...and many have been banned because of said tone...I see that you have 2 babies already, for alot of us "newbs" it's a first baby, and because it's taking longer than the sex ed teachers and our moms told us it would, we're trying to figure this all out for the 1st time, so I ask you "experienced" contributors to have a little pity on us. We know not what we do.

@juliehollz13 Girrrrlllll. I have no children, and am actually not yet even actively TTC. I never had an IUI, IF, or anything like that. I was accepted by this board very easily and have gotten SO much great info from them. This happened because I didn't stomp on in demanding they respond to me in a specific way and disregarding rules.
Regarding implantation bleeding. When I was pregnant I actually did get implantation bleeding. I had no idea that's what it was at the time and there is NO WAY you could possibly know. You only know AFTER you take the pregnancy test. This is not rocket science. Calling people names was wrong. Several of us helped you out on an earlier thread you posted, and now here you are calling us names. That's not cool.

Hi, lurker here and a very recent bump member. This is my first cycle and unfortunately didn't start temping/charting till CD22. So I have no idea when and if I O'd so I am relying a little bit on my symptoms and the info I am charting because its the only thing I can really go off of- at least for just this cycle.
That being said- I joined this board for the snarky, honest, no-bs, pro science advice. I came from another board that was overrun with 16 year olds TTCing and asking if their tingly boobs mean they are pregnant. When I gave advice, I was called "uppity", "cold" and "elitist" because I pushed for financial responsibility and I never told them what they WANTED to hear. Oh wait- I forgot, I was also called a "hater" too. Anyway, I left the boards because obviously it wasn't the right fit. There's a board out there for everyone. The bump may not be yours and that's perfectly okay!

__________________________
Did you also happen to notice that it took me more than 2 years to get pregnant with my first baby. I know that getting pregnant is a struggle for many, which is why I spend some time trying to educate people on the amazing things I found out while I was struggling with infertility. I don't "pity" people. I give them useful information. I don't tell everyone they are pregnant. I tell them they have to take a test. I don't tell them that a little bit of spotting must mean they are pregnant. I tell them that they can pinpoint the day of ovulation through temping and charting. When they have questions about temping and charting, I do my best to answer them. I point them to resources that will help them.
I know new posters don't know how this all works. That is why I TELL them how it works.
yes, many have been banned and yet I still remain. The bannings are not a new thing. They happen often and yet the tone of the board remains the same. It's based on science and not rainbows. That is the way it is going to stay.

You are not going to change the tone of this board. Many have tried. Many have failed. The better choice would be to find a board that fits your taste and try posting there. But thanks for calling us douches and trolls.
...and many have been banned because of said tone...I see that you have 2 babies already, for alot of us "newbs" it's a first baby, and because it's taking longer than the sex ed teachers and our moms told us it would, we're trying to figure this all out for the 1st time, so I ask you "experienced" contributors to have a little pity on us. We know not what we do.
@juliehollz13 Girrrrlllll. I have no children, and am actually not yet even actively TTC. I never had an IUI, IF, or anything like that. I was accepted by this board very easily and have gotten SO much great info from them. This happened because I didn't stomp on in demanding they respond to me in a specific way and disregarding rules.
Regarding implantation bleeding. When I was pregnant I actually did get implantation bleeding. I had no idea that's what it was at the time and there is NO WAY you could possibly know. You only know AFTER you take the pregnancy test. This is not rocket science. Calling people names was wrong. Several of us helped you out on an earlier thread you posted, and now here you are calling us names. That's not cool.
Again, there was another commenter actually CUSSING at the original poster and thats ok?!! I didnt call anyone personally a name, but this site does have alot of trolls on it. And before saying that's "name calling", look up the meaning of "internet troll", its someone who offers sarcastic remarks and harrasses a person - how is that helpful?
Lurker--maybe I'm blind, but I can't find what you're talking about in here. Where is the cussing/name calling toward the OP?
It's been removed - the poster was the user with the "utereses before dudereses" sticker and was outright cussing at the poster.

@Juliehollz13 - I have no way of knowing whether or not someone did or did not remove a post that was name calling/cussing at the OP, but in the future I would suggest that if you're going to respond in kind, you should quote the person you're going to later accuse of being the first wrongdoer.
Also, sarcasm =/= trolling. Trolling is attempting to derail conversations/start fights with internet strangers by posting "inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages." You might not appreciate the sarcasm you find on TB, but most of our sarcastic users are also great contributors and have the most information on the topics you appear to be interested in. You don't have to like the way people communicate here, but you're not going to be able to change it, either. That's why people are suggesting you look for a forum with a personality more to your liking.

If it IS implantation bleeding, take a test in 1 week and it will be positive.If it's negative then it's just your irregular cycle. My periods are ridiculously irregular so i can sympathize with the symptom spotting because unlike alot of the ladies on here commenting and making fun, you kinda learn to listen to your body for ques more so than the woman with a regular cycle. Before i went on BC years ago, i would have dark blood, spotting and horrible cramps - the Dr. said it was because my endomitrial lining was getting too thick and it was just old blood.
Most of the ladies on here know exactly when they ovulate (even if they have irregular cycles) because they know about charting temperatures and cervical mucus, instead of "listening to ques"
Also, most of the ladies on here try not to symptom spot because (1) symptoms are impossible before implantation (2) if your symptoms are caused by pregnancy then a pregnancy test would be positive, so there is no reason to rely on symptoms and (3) symptoms just fuck with your head and make you believe you are pregnant when you are really not pregnant and cause a double heartbreak when you find out you are not.
I'm not sure what it means that it took me so long to figure out what this was trying to say.
Actually I did lurk and saw alot of really nasty, unsupportive users. Most of them seem to have been banned, and since I love the site I'll stick around because some ladies offered amazing insight and advice. When you spend your entire adolescence being taught that just being in the same room with a boy will get you pregnant, and your youth trying NOT to get pregnant, when you actually do want a baby you're like "ok, how does this work?". And how exactly are those of us that are new to the board, or just started the journey to parenthood contribute, exactly? It seems like unless you had an IVF or IUI you're not taken seriously. Even though this our first month actively trying we have been "seeing what will happen" for over a year so yes, I can sympathize with the original poster's confusion.
I didn't have IVF or IUI. Hell, I'm not even TTC. Most of the ladies here who know me still like me and take my advice seriously. Or at least they pretend to.

I am guessing you will be disappointed. What I've found from my lurking on this board for about a month is that newbies come here and ask "I'm a pregnant?!" or "Is this a positive pee stick?!" The regulars chime in to tell them that those are inappropriate questions. Newbies get pissed & use the "report" button as a dislike button. A regular gets kicked because enough newbies have "reported" them after being told that, "No one can tell you if you're pregnant. Go POAS." The newbie disappears into the wind never to be heard from again (unless they come back to say, "OH MY GAWD GUYS I WAS REALLY PREGNANT!!"), and the tone of the board stays the same. Because you're dealing with an established community of women who enjoy sarcasm, science, & helpful information, not just one. And then the same thing happens tomorrow.
I saw you posted on a different thread that you've been lurking here for something like a year. I'm surprised you haven't picked up on this trend yet.

Lurking.
again, I lately noticed a lot of the old contributors have been banned which is why i was brave enough to officially join the board. There's a lot of very nice, helpful ladies on here but I still dont think its right to be vicious to a newbie. And yes, I think the fact that I have not posted an "am I pregnant" question, and the only question i have posted was AFTER reading through threads on here AND on other boards as well as doing some good old fashioned google research, shows that i DID pay attention.

@juliehollz13 : please explain how I am supposed to support you calling my friends (and me, I guess?) "douches & trolls"? I don't think that is a fair or accurate (or respectful) way to try to build a community. Do you?

How do you propose we resolve this? I'm not inclined to look upon your "contributions" in a very positive way because you've not been very a) helpful b) respectful.
I'm really unsure about how you think we can move forward?

Not sure what you mean by "moving forward", i dont "contribute" aside from personal experience, and again, as many before me mentioned my personal experience is not so much a contribution because what i experience doesnt mean you will.

So when was it deleted? Because I literally looked right after you posted you reported someone and all I saw was that someone said "damn" which I haven't considered a cuss word since I was in elementary... Also, that comment is still there.

I think you should look back at what this board was like a month ago. Tons of daily threads, lots of support. It is a ghost town now compared to then. You think the board is improved now? The only reason that good information is still being circulated is because the regs still pop in to answer questions.

Um, i personally havent violated any guidelines, apparently it's only ok for "seasoned" contributors to be rude. I read the guidelines - which BTW arent "rules" they're "etiquette guidelines" and havent posted a single "am i pregnant" question AND the only question i posted was after reading several boards, including this one, as well as whatever info you can find online. And the select few of you dont "own" the board, there are plenty of nice and helpful contributors who dont engage in drama or bashing. for each 1 of the rude contributors theres 100 helpful and nice ones. I'm not worried.

@juliehollz13 : yes, but your blanket statement about the quality of character here on the board is quite offensive. If you are looking to help us build community, as opposed to just complaining about what you don't like, then please stop trying to change the board to fit your needs.
We play, we poke fun (even at ourselves!) & we educate. It's not that serious, man.
I'm honestly curious, what do you hope to accomplish? :-??

I just dont see the need to embarass or make fun of someone for posting a stupid question when you can just ignore them? Just my 2 cents.
@juliehollz13 : yes, but your blanket statement about the quality of character here on the board is quite offensive. If you are looking to help us build community, as opposed to just complaining about what you don't like, then please stop trying to change the board to fit your needs.
We play, we poke fun (even at ourselves!) & we educate. It's not that serious, man.
I'm honestly curious, what do you hope to accomplish? :-??
Idk, maybe having 1 less hostile environment on the internet? Guess that's a lost cause

@juliehollz13 I just caught up on this long ass thread that would be 3 pages shorter if you hadn't instigated an online altercation.
You're not making friends here. This isn't going to end well.
I'm not here to make friends, i'm here to make a baby.
@juliehollz13 : please explain how I am supposed to support you calling my friends (and me, I guess?) "douches & trolls"? I don't think that is a fair or accurate (or respectful) way to try to build a community. Do you?
True story, how would you feel if someone said this to you?
How do you propose we resolve this? I'm not inclined to look upon your "contributions" in a very positive way because you've not been very a) helpful b) respectful.
I'm really unsure about how you think we can move forward?
Again, I didnt personally insult anyone i was making a general statement, and obviously i wasn't the only one that thought so because alot of the old contributors have been banned. Not sure what you mean by "moving forward", i dont "contribute" aside from personal experience, and again, as many before me mentioned my personal experience is not so much a contribution because what i experience doesnt mean you will. There's not one contributor on here that "owns" the board, yes, maybe a few can gang up and report a person until their banned but that's it. I just dont see the need to embarass or make fun of someone for posting a stupid question when you can just ignore them? Just my 2 cents.
No, you didn't personally insult anyone, you just said this board is full of "douches and trolls."
edited over and over and over again because I CANNOT GIF.
I just feel like it's important to point out: I finally got my GIF to work. So, whatever. I win the internet today.
@juliehollz13 - people have been banned because newbies like you come in here and think they can change the tone of an entire community if they just report that one person who they felt slighted by, never mind that the newbies are the ones who are actually violating the TOU. Good luck getting answers to your questions on this site from this point on.
Um, i personally havent violated any guidelines, apparently it's only ok for "seasoned" contributors to be rude. I read the guidelines - which BTW arent "rules" they're "etiquette guidelines" and havent posted a single "am i pregnant" question AND the only question i posted was after reading several boards, including this one, as well as whatever info you can find online. And the select few of you dont "own" the board, there are plenty of nice and helpful contributors who dont engage in drama or bashing. for each 1 of the rude contributors theres 100 helpful and nice ones. I'm not worried.
I mean, if you want to get all technical about it, please see The Bump Guidelines section re: "What are grounds for automatic banning." Notice the "Personal attack" example that states, "The members of the __________ board are a bunch of crazies." Kinda sounds like calling a whole board "douches and trolls" might be violating some rules.
@juliehollz13 I just caught up on this long ass thread that would be 3 pages shorter if you hadn't instigated an online altercation.
You're not making friends here. This isn't going to end well.
I'm not here to make friends, i'm here to make a baby.
You can make a baby without a community then. You clearly don't want to be part of this one.
Sorry, you guys cant bully me into leaving. Like a cochroach, you may not like me but i'm here to stay.

You're not getting my point. You said you knew how the poster felt because, unlike the rest of us, you have irregular cycles too. If you have been lurking you would know that myself and others have irregular cycles and we still don't encourage symptom spotting. It also doesn't mean ladies who have regular cycles, but are well informed, shouldn't be allowed to give advice.
