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

spacepiraterunner

Your seventh grade health teacher did not know a magic formula when she said you could get KU while on your period. You do not need to coerce DH to HIO on CD 1-5.

The only bus seat that is open is the seat reserved for seniors and people who are KU is not a sign that AF is actually just really heavy IB. It means you are commuting during rush hour. Get a grip.

jhems776

No, you are not pg because you are nauseous; your dumb butt took your vitamins and forgot to eat! 

spacepiraterunner

Gas with bloating does not mean you are photos, gas with bloating means you ate a big bowl of beans at lunch. You haven't even o'd yet!

You aren't KU at 9 DPO because you are nauseous. You're nauseous because you downed 10oz of frozen yogurt on your lunch break and are most likely PMSing...

Today, 4DPO, I had sharp cramps for a few seconds. Farted 3 minutes later. I actually jump into place for the whole 3 minutes, telling my boyfriend that IT WAS SOMETHING. 
Yeah, the fart was definitely something, I can say (TMI? Sorry)

All of these are killing me...I'm late to the party, but so glad there are others like me 

@ribonnette24 I just loled! Totally did the same thing this morning, I'm 6 or 7DPO and in the shower I thought "was that a flutter?!?"....30 minutes later, turns out I had a ton of gas

I swear every tww is like a constant roller coaster for me. I go from 'I must be preg...' to  'you're an idiot-you're not pregnant' faster than I can get the original thought out.
Omg I'm so crampy, I must have a fertilized egg or it must be implantation. No, ya idiot, you used to drink coffee daily and it kept you regular and now that you've cut back, you haven't gone to the br in over 2 days.
Omg my temp just dropped a whole degree then went back up-must have been implantation-ya dummy, you JUST started temping, have no history really to base this off of, and very little research supports the whole implantation dip theory.
I've peed so much today, must be the baby....what baby?! You've chugged more water than ever because they say that's good for you and you're trying to suddenly be a health freak in every way you can to try to get prego-your bladder is on overload, calm ya-self! 

And I have a 3 hour drive tomorrow that I'm sure will give my brain plenty of time to fight my heart 1000 times more....8dpo, 7 more to go before AF is expected. Glad to know I'm not alone in the craziness.

If so, you definitely belong in May 19. 

harrierwife

@meatball15 - I haven't seen her back, have you?
Don't mind me, I'm completely unable to pay attention to work today. I've been totally worthless. 

brookert615

HAHAHA! I love this thread. This was so me last cycle. I was so sure the pregnancy test was wrong so I bought more and different brands. Stared at where the pink line SHOULD'VE BEEN. Going to complain to the companies, totally defective lol.

*PSA I know it was just me being a psycho
 

prpl11butterfly

Jeez this thread, unlike all of us, hasn't had any action in months! 😂😂  

Anyway....
Notes to self. 1. You are only 6dpo ..... 2. The odds of getting preg on O day are like next to impossible..... 3. The saline from the HSG likely washed the potential egg away never to be reached by the sperm .....4. DH clearly acknowledged "it had been a while" so his sperm were likely all dead or on the verge of. 

You acid reflux is because you've been on tums daily and you forgot today. You are hungry because the holidays made you fat. Your boobs always hurt after O and your gassy not crampy. You are not a SS, you are not preg. 

b_1029

You felt super nauseous on 11 DPO because of the sugar binge you went on with all the free food someone left in the break room.

 Your boobs hurt because you worked out for the first time in a hot minute and your pecs were involved.

 -Not because you’re KU

brookert615

That twinge on your side isn't implantation - just a pulled muscle from getting up too fast. 

nomangos23

Seriously considering pulling out my box of art supplies for a pink marker and drawing a second line on my HPT b/c I'm so tired of seeing negatives. It's not cheating, it's called manifesting. 

daisy0322

I love this! I'm so glad I'm not the only one!!!!

i tend to convince myself that evap lines could totally be a faint positive 

kiki047

Just because the dog decided to sleep with his head on your belly instead of bunny kicking you with his back feet all night doesn’t mean you’re KU. He’s not a pregnancy detection dog. He can’t smell progesterone. He probably just sees you absent-mindedly rubbing your belly all the time and wants some head scratchies. 

inthewoods23

@kiki047 same with a cat!

Just because it kneads your belly more often than usual doesn't mean it detects you're KU!

I am guilty of this thought myself with my own cat.

brookert615

I keep having dreams or the elusive double line on HPTs. Must be KU and not even in the TWW 😂.

marbellie

The three brands of pregnancy tests you've taken with FMU at 13 DPO are not all wrong...wake up please and stop wasting money! 

kopp5988

That blood tinged creamy cm you had this morning (that hasn’t ever happened before AF so I must be KU) wasn’t IB at 14 DPO. You had a big temp drop this am and have been having cramps all day, it’s AF slowly making her way.  🤦🏼‍♀️

kiki047

@kopp5988 ugh saaaaaaaaame. 

inthewoods23

I'm sure this has been said already but this is me this morning...

You've had to pee twice in the first 3 hours of the morning since getting to work but only because you've had a lot to drink for a change.

b_1029

You're dizzy because you've had a large coffee this morning and minimal water. You're not KU.

sorarose

You have some back pain, but it's really that you walked more than usual and your body isn't used to it. 

mczzi7788

Hi All, 
So this thread totally speaks to me. I had a hard TWW. I ended up testing on 6dpo, 14dpo and 15dpo (I ended up testing 2 twice on 14dpo). All BFN and my AF just started. This was the first month TTC but I swear I had some pregnancy symptoms. I guess all in my head. 

silverbell7

I needed this site.  I had been on babycenter.com and I feel the people there feed into lots of stuff that was making me feel crazy.  I'm about 11 or 12 days dpo ish and I took a test and was like its a negative and was bummed. (I've been slightly off with my cycles since my mc in December.  I was feeling all crazy.  Came back to this site  and got a reality orientation and am feeling much better.  I was like I haven't even missed my period yet.  Do better!!!

knottie3e24bc2e19c6075d So happy you feel that way about this board! If you haven't already can you change your username so we can get to know you better? You have to log out and log back in for it to update . Also please introduce yourself on the most recent newbie thread and jump in on our daily WTO/TWW when you feel comfortable to do so! 

silverbell7

Thanks so much.  I just noticed my name and changed it.  I'll go hit the intro board.  

kiki047

Dear Kiki: You're bloated because you ate half a can of pringles and 6 carrot cake oreos while hiding in the pantry from YF last night, not because you're 2dpo and already symptomatic. 

brookert615

@kiki047 😂😂😂

kopp5988

@kiki047 now i want Pringles so I must also be KU at 1 DPO

craftywitch

Dear self,

For the last 5 years, pulling out has been 100% effective. Suddenly wanting a baby does not mean you're going to get "accidentally" pregnant all of a sudden. It's certainly no reason to test every month the day AF is due... Also your boobs don't hurt, you're imagining it. Feeling nauseated didn't happen until 6 weeks pregnant the last time so sit your barfy ass down- you just have nasty post nasal drip because toddlers.

Sincerely,

I will wait my turn

I will wait my turn

I will wait my turn

This is hilarious that this is the first post I read because I’m cd 2 and I literally just got a faint positive this morning. I had a negative the day before my period started.

inthewoods23

@Knottie22289698 if you had LURKED and read the PINNED POSTS properly, you would know that this is absolutely not an appropriate thing to post here. Your comment here has nothing to do with this thread.

b_1029

Wow, how “hilarious” knottie 🙄

QFP. 

Also, I want to ask why you would POAS on CD2 but I don’t actually want to know the answer. Anonymous knottie, please move on to the 1st tri Board or your BMB. And read the damn rules there too.
