You Aren't Pregnant. Calm Down. (the help thread)

nimmle

Just because you magically haven't been having symptoms this month doesn't mean you're going to be KU. It just means you're busy at work and finally aren't obsessively focusing on SS and TTC this month. Also, you don't even know if you O'ed yet so calm TF down. 

canucklehead123

OMG, you can stop googling "fertilization symptoms" at any time now..... jkjkjk I can't stop!!!

nitnat007

No you are not KTFU because you are insanely hungry. Someone just made cinnamon raisin toast and that is the only thing you have been able to smell for the last 30 minutes. You are just jealous!! 

snowc123

No, you aren't pregnant just because you had heartburn after eating. You just ovulated like 8 days ago. Calm the f down. 

canucklehead123

Hey, those weird feelings you're having in your abdomen? That's the McDonald's you had for lunch reacting with your IBS! You are not KU (andplusalso you're only 2DPO so get a grip). 

spottedginger

You are nauseous because you ate an entire bag of buffalo pretzel pieces, not bc of pregnancy. (Plus you are 4dpo so yeah....) you should probably waste a perfectly good test anyways. Sigh. 

canucklehead123

Omg @spottedginger I am 4DPO and also feel nauseous after eating too many pretzels... lol!!!  That's gotta be a sign

spottedginger

@canucklehead123 yes! A sign of poor impulse control and digestive distress...

lurvleybunchococonuts

Dear Coconuts: 16dpo with multiple bfns does NOT mean you're magically KU and just not turning a test, it means you are an idiot. Stop being a headcase. Idiot idiot idiot. Your temps look like they're on crack and stop living in your imagined fantasy world in your head. You aren't attempting to maintain hope, you are delusional.

offtoneverland

@lurvleybunchococonuts You're not an idiot for being delusional! We're all delusional at times...blame it on TTC, not yourself.  

lurvleybunchococonuts

@offtoneverland thanks, I'm just super frustrated with myself... I've been a total headcase the past few days lmao

SmashJam

@lurvleybunchococonuts give yourself some grace! Like @offtoneverland said, we are all delusional sometimes!

jrm_14

@lurvleybunchococonuts. Here’s a picture of a cat that is sending mucho love to you. (In spoiler bc I don’t know how big it is [insert “that’s what she said])

AFM, those awful Ute pains you think may be implantations cramps are the dairy you ate last night. Read:  You just have the farts. Oh, p.s.  that last period was real and you haven’t O’d yet. Again, you just have gas.  Stop. Eating. Dairy. 

lurvleybunchococonuts

@jrm_14 lmao DED at your fart cramps. You're my hero

mrs_drc_rn

I’m still here trying to convince myself that my lack of symptoms are just because I’m really healthy and my body is handling being KU really well. 

ndz2018

@lurvleybunchococonuts I’m with you! Completely delusional... I’m 21DPO, AF is 8 days late with 3 BFN and yet still think there a chance, right?!?.. couldn’t be the stress of thinking and not thinking I’m KU’d .. the struggle is real! 

elothair

No, you are not pregnant just because baby would be due on our Anniversary if we got KU this month.  It does not mean it's a sign from the universe that it will absolutely happen.

sapphiredays

@ndz2018 it’s almost impossible to be 21dpo and not be pregnant or have something medically wrong. If you are sure about your ovulation prediction, I’d give your doctor a call. Or at least post your chart somewhere for the ladies to give a second opinion about when ov occurred. Stress can delay ovulation. Stress doesn’t cause your period to be late after ov already occurred. 

ndz2018

@sapphiredays  I’m going to by CBE opk, so either my body was lying(which is a HUGE possibility) or those I O’d way Later than I thought but I plan on calling my nurse today to see if they did a progesterone test on 10/27 when we went to our 1st RE app. Thanks! Also stopped obsessing about my chart this month Bc we were going to the RE , of course I’m regretting that now!

spottedginger

@ndz2018 it is possible for your body to ramp up LH and not ovulate. Unless you can confirm O with sustained BBT shift, is sounds likely that you didn’t O on the date you are thinking. I’ve seen ladies’ charts that have 2-3 LH surges before ovulation.  

ndz2018

@spottedginger YUP, that’s exactly why I’m gonna call my nurse this morning. Crazy how our reproductive system can be so unreliable!

sapphiredays

I agree with @spottedginger. You likely didn’t ovulate when the opk was positive and it was a false surge. There’s just no way to be 21dpo with being pregnant or having something wrong. Good luck with the nurse! 

ndz2018

@sapphiredays THANKS!! Called this morning they told me to come in Thur if I haven’t gotten it by then!

nimmle

You're nauseous because you ate an extra empanada and a cookie during lunch. You're not KU

jsnakehole

@nimmle I read that as 'cookie empanada' and I think I've stumbled upon a million dollar idea. 

nimmle

@jsnakehole I'd eat it. Even if I wasn't totes KU

kobrien827

All of these responses are pure genius.. and so relatable!! I spent one week last cycle constantly feeling my boobs to see if they were sore. I'm sure my coworkers think im crazy. My boobs were then sore, not because i was KU, but that theyve been manhandled all day 

canucklehead123

You are not KU, you are feeling cold because it is cold AF outside.
Actual footage of me getting ready for work this morning:
 

jsnakehole

You're not going to be a special snowflake and find out you're totes KTFU at your gyno appointment tomorrow. You're going because you're on CD 58 and your body is stupid. Not pregnant. Just stupid. 

suzycupcake

My Dad is out of it again. I got him some medical marijuana to help him get quality of life and I think I gave him a bit too much first round. He keep saying telling me there’s a baby in my stomach. That doesn’t mean it’s true. Calm down. You just had a period after IUI. Just because it was spotty, that doesn’t matter. You aren’t pregnant. Your dreams of telling him he will be a grandpa before he dies isn’t gonna happen. Itsok to feel sad about it.

@suzycupcake. Hugs sweet friend. 

canucklehead123

@suzycupcake so sorry for what you're going through - sending thoughts and hugs.

snowc123

TW***@suzycupcake I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. I lost my dad when I was about 4 months pregnant. I had a really hard time with it. Not how I imagined everything would turn out when I first found out I was expecting. Sending thoughts and prayers.  

jrm_14

@suzycupcake Oh so many internet stranger hugs. 

SmashJam

@suzycupcake super big internet stranger hugs. 

lurvleybunchococonuts

@suzycupcake *hugs* 

suzycupcake

I started reading all of these sweet replies and tears kept pouring. Then I looked at @jrm_14’s avatar and started busting up laughing! 

Thanks ladies

mrsinterweb

Hugs and sympathy @suzycupcake. I lost my dad to cancer 3 years ago and I'm so sorry you are going through this. I hope the medical marijuana can help give him some comfort and you and your family have the support you need during this time.

suzycupcake

Hugs @mrsinterweb I’m so sorry to you too. It’s the worst isn’t it? 

mrs_drc_rn

Just because O was predicted to be the same day as your birthday does NOT mean you will be KU!
