Eeeesh. Can we try to be a little less scary on posts like this? I get they are annoying but not ling ago i was new. The newbie thread is long. I skimmed it. It's ok you asked this. Just know most of us have not been pregnant making this question difficult to answer. Bodies do not work like clock work all the time (some are better than others at it). And no two bodies are the same. But i agree. Please consider reading the newbie thread...and please stay! Join. Great group of ladies who are supportive if you play the rules. Also forgiving. I made a mistake when i joined too no one held it against me.
Actually, it is NOT okay to ask this. It is against the TOU of this site to ask if you are pregnant, even if you are asking indirectly.

The responses to this thread were not "scary". They were informative and/or factual.
Threads will take a darker tone if OP indicates that long term and more than helpful posters will not make good parents.
THIS. I have (unfortunately) been around TTGP for a long time. I try to give OPs the benefit of the doubt and answer the question while advising them that the post they have created is against the TOU, because sometimes it is just an honest mistake. More often than not the poster comes back and completely losses it. Telling women, many of them that are struggling to get or stay pregnant, that they will be horrible mothers is one of the most disgusting things I've seen posters say, and I honestly can't believe someone is defending a poster that made comments like that.
Thank you to those who left kind responses. The rest of you need to calm down. Really. To answer some of the more decent questions, I know my period is late because I am 35, and in my 23 years of having periods, I've never been more than a day late. That's a pretty good track record. Also, I have been using OPKs and temping, so I'm pulling this out of a hat. And, yes, of course you are correct that I can't be sure it was IB. I just wanted to emphasize that I am highly suspicious because it is so unusual to me. I have no previous experiences with spotting at all. Again, thank you to all you kind folks who will be wonderful mothers, and apologies to everyone else for not reading the almighty rules.
Wow. Totally uncalled for. If you actually participated in this community and give/receive support, you would realize this is an amazing group of women whose thoughts regarding TTC are strongly grounded in SCIENCE, not feelings. And they will be some fucking amazing mothers.
Dropping by to essentially ask if you are pregnant (with a negative HPT) and expecting support is not how it works around here.

Seriously?
Seriously. What's wrong with what said? I made mistakes too when i started. Read the rules and I'm good now. I just think there was a nicer way to say it. I get these are annoying but i think after 1 or 2 corrections that's enough.
You also forget that everyone is typing at the same time and hitting post at the same time. It's not like we are calling in air strike after air strike.
Yes. True. But coming from a fairly new newbie...it might he common sense to read the rules thread but i honestly didnt think it was that big of of a deal i didnt and just skimmed it. I don't want to start a heated "debate" about this..not in the mood. I just want everyone to feel welcome (but yes play by the rules)
