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

@galactickates Have you ever googled baking soda finger?

jrm_14

@galactickates @lulu1180 @dragonette505 If toothpaste is not available to assess the amount of foam, you could also pee on a dandelion leaf & observe it for blisters. 

lulu1180

haha yes @dragonette505!  And I was just thinking that it might be fun to try some of them and see what they say considering I'm on CD3 right now.

@jrm_14 Yep, I saw that one too 

galactickates

@lulu1180 - lol no I'm not sure how I would ever come up with that search term on my own lol. Now I need to Google baking soda finger. <-- Words I never thought I'd say.

I have a plethora of hpts so I am not interested in doing any of these but it sounds fun to read.  the anolgy comparing to grocery shopping hungry killed me

lulu1180

lol @galactickates I wasn't sure if you'd heard about it before.  Yeah, you definitely have some weird google searches while TTC.  I hope my employer doesn't monitor our internet usage too closely because they'd probably think I'm crazy!

dragonette505

jrm_14  someone came on here talking about dandelions last year, I think! Actually it might be funny to try some of the harmless ones!
lulu1180  never heard of it! Googling in 3...2..1

Dear mrschapel17, take a deep breath and come back to earth. You're dizzy because you forgot to take your meds last night. Now go make some lemon bars and get your mind off stuff.

Just bc you had a dream that you had great rising betas does not mean your KU...you’re on the bench still and didn’t have sex during your FW...go back to bed! 

meggyme

No meg, the cramping you and 11% of pregnant women feel at 4dpo does not mean you are pregnant. It's probably still swimming around your fallopian tubes. Relax. 

Seriously, the symptom spotter on FF is not helping!

lulu1180

@meggyme That's why I didn't renew my FF VIP membership; it makes it way too easy to feed the BSC!

@suzycupcake Thanks for bumping this awesome thread  

Reality check: Your boobs may or may not be bigger. Stop taking pictures of your boobs from different angles to "check." Bigger boobs do not mean you are KTFU. Stop touching your tits.

@professional_ruminator I second @suzycupcake. That gave me a good laugh

catlady2015

Your BFN is really a BFN. Digging in the trash to see what it looks like hours later makes you a bag lady. Just stop it!

nmbrcrnchr1

This is my favorite thread, I get all giggly when there are new posts! The stop touching your tits comment put me over the top! 

professional_ruminator

Just because you forgot what side of your car your gas tank was on does not mean you have "baby brain". You haven't even POAS yet. Get it together! 

mdmommymegs

I need someone at home to follow me around and slap pregnancy tests out of my hands. Stop wasting them! It was CLEARLY negative yesterday. I blame AF for screwing around with me.

JLaVO888

Sitting here WTO already dreaming up all the symptoms I’m going to have this TWW cuz this is for sure my cycle since I finally spent money on a thermometer and OPKs. Talking my cheep ass self into paying 15 whole bucks will of course be the factor that tips the scales in my favor. The universe just wants me to have 63827383 unused opks so I fo sho will get KTFU! *raising my glass of green tea to chase down my prenatals that I obviously NEED*

@JLaVO888 this totally goes through my head whenever I hold short of buying something for TTC. “I have just enough opk’s for 1 more cycle. I’ll wait until cd1 to buy more because I obviously won’t need them if I buy them sooner.”

JLaVO888

@meggyme that is literally the exact reason it took me 6 months to buy my first set of OPKs!! Every tww I’m like... maybe I’m not going to need them don’t want to waist the money. Every WTO... by the time they will be delivered it will be TwW and I probably won’t need them.... 

meggyme

@jlavo888 thank goodness for 2 day shipping!

@laoster I was gonna gif but the’re all too mean and I feel like you just didn’t read anything so I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt. 1) please read the rules and newbie guidelines at the top of the board. That should answer a lot of your questions and also prepare you for the fact that we don’t mention loving children outside the Trying for a sibling thread. 2) if you are breastfeeding your periods will be VERY unpredictable. 3) if you are not tracking your ovulation with OPK’s and/or bbt then you have no indication that you are late or have ovulated this cycle at all and so you don’t know if you are testing negative because you didn’t successfully meet egg/sperm or if you even ovulated at all.

PLEASE lurk the boards, introduce yourself when you’re ready, follow the rules, and go from there...

ETA: also it’s against the rules to as us if you’re pregnant. We can’t tell you any more than an hpt can so pee on one of those.

thegirlwhowaited_

@meggyme that's deff why I waited till last week to order more OPKs.

nmbrcrnchr1

I’m totes KU right....it’s a temp rise!!!

Sorry, insomnia has got the best of me this week 

Raeraezilla93

That was definitely not a migraine that made you nauseous with a “little” headache the other night. That cramping has got to be a sign and can’t possibly be mittelschmirtz even though you should be o today and couldn’t actually be preg yet anyways. 

suzycupcake

bumping this up for the newbies and anyone else who feels like it. 

antera23

This is THE BEST. 

suzycupcake

Your period was light and quick because you had an an-o cycle, not because you really are ku and a cd40 test could've been dead wrong. Pipe it down lady. 

emmasemm

You are 8 days past you’re IVF retrieval. They got the eggs. They fertilized them. And froze the embryos. In liquid nitrogen. You have taken no progesterone. There is no way beyond immaculate conception (or maybe a cryptic pregnancy  ) that you could be KU so stop second guessing the symptoms you’re having. 
Huge big painful breasts are obviously possible without any progesterone or HCG. You are living proof. It’s just your body being an evil witch and playing with you.
Don’t even dare break open the HPTs on Sunday!!! DH will have the men in white coats come take you away!

whiteswanblackswan

Your pants are too tight because you had too much dessert this week, not because you're bloated from a baby in there. Chill TF out.

Knottie1471974190

I really needed this post. 
You're nauseous/ dizzy/ lightheaded because you need to eat, not pg
Your nipples are sore because you keep checking them
heartburn from buffalo chicken, not pg
I could keep going.
Had to hide the tests so I don't waste all of them in one day.

vl_16

I will always love the comment that your boobs hurt bc you keep grabbing them to see if they hurt. 100% me on cycle 1. 

mturnwall10

Your dog isn’t cuddling with you because you’re pregnant. He’s a Labrador retriever. 

He bonds with stuffed animals on a spiritual level.

lcking82

Your boobs feel "full" because you finally found a bra that lifts and nicely supports.  Thank you Soma.  Now quit feeling  yourself up.

spacepiraterunner

Your pants are tight, your boobs feel larger, and you are frequently experiencing heartburn not because you are stress eating ALL of the things and have put on weight, but definitely because you are KU by 3 DPO.

Pregnant enough for symptoms = pregnant enough for test....and repeat ×100
