Do you see a faint positive? 2nd Line?

stowelan

I am only 9 DPO. I’m cautiously optimistic and will test again on Sunday. Thoughts?

QFP minus pee stick images...

kbrown2385

Please remove the picture of your pee sticks. No one wants to see your positive pregnancy tests thrown in their face since we are all, you know, TRYING to get pregnant. Congrats, please post this on the 1st trimester board and move along to your bmb.

Wow. This legit makes me want to barf. I just uploaded this app today in hopes of finding a supportive community of women who are trying to conceive, just like me. I truly meant no offense, just wanted a second opinion before I tell my family. I’m sorry I even downloaded this app again. What has it become? Idk what any of these acronyms mean, but I’ve removed the photos and unfortunately don’t know how to delete the post. Thanks for turning an exciting morning into a shitty day. Much appreciated. God bless.

stowelan

For everyone else who is reading this, please be kind. I appreciate your understanding. Thanks!

stowelan

Thank you! I was unaware. Just downloaded this app this morning and I’m learning the ropes. I appreciate your patience and the kind way you directed me in the correct direction.

You were very nice. I thanked you, but it didn’t show up under your post. 

dpchickens

stowelan Yeah, they all show up at the bottom, regardless of who you hit 'reply' to.  So we usually copy the screen names or put @ and start typing the screen names to refer to each other...

stowelan

Thanks! @dpchickens
I’ll get the hang of it eventually.

Here's my suggestion. Go to your OB's office and walk into the waiting room and show them all your pee stick. That is the equivalent of what you did here.  There is a reason for the waiting period before being able to post it is so you can learn how the boards operate.

stowelan

@dpchickens Do you know how to delete a post? Or read a message? Someone just messaged me and I don’t know how to open it. 🤦🏼‍♀️

dpchickens

stowelan  Posts can't be deleted.  For messages, if you're on a computer (not mobile) you click on the envelope on the upper right.  If you're on mobile, you have to get to the INBOX part of the app...

Happy Friday!

Some of this information has already been mentioned, but here are some links to help you get where you need to go.

Hello! It’s against terms of use (TOU) to ask other participants if you are pregnant (even in a around about way). Many of us have not been pregnant before. The best advice is to wait and test again or call your doctor.

The Bump (TB) does things differently than other pregnancy forums. The only place you are allowed to post a picture of a pregnancy test is here:

https://forums.thebump.com/discussion/12219554/what-does-a-positive-pregnancy-test-really-look-like#latest

If you are indeed pregnant then I wish you a happy & healthy nine months. Please move on and join either your Birth Month Club/Birth Month Board (BMB)

https://forums.thebump.com/categories/the-bump-month-clubs

And/or start posting questions on the first trimester board

https://forums.thebump.com/categories/1st-trimester

You do not need to come back and update us on your status. We lurk on the various boards and will see your happy news on your BMB or the first tri board.

If it turns out that you are not pregnant, this board is a fantastic resource. It is full of knowledgeable women! We like order and appreciate it when people follow the rules. It makes interacting easier.

1.Read these:

https://forums.thebump.com/discussion/12588178/the-bump-guidelines#latest

https://forums.thebump.com/discussion/12586072/welcome-new-members#latest

These should answer some questions and help with the terminology and abbreviations that are used on TB. It will also help you understand the daily Waiting to Ovulate (WTO) & Two Week Wait (TWW) threads.

2. Lurk: Click on threads. See what these recurring posts are all about. Find your niche.

3. Use the search bar at the bottom of the screen. Many women have sought answers to the same questions.

4. Introduce yourself: go to Newbie Intro W/O (Current week)- If the current week does not happen to be up yet, please post on the previous week’s post. We no longer do individual posts to introduce ourselves.

5. Start contributing on the appropriate threads.

Doing one off posts/individual discussions are not encouraged here. There are lots of opportunities to ask trying to get pregnant (TTGP) questions in various threads. We are community that believes you must give support in order to receive it.

What to do about this post? You can’t delete it. You can ask @ BumpAdmin to close the discussion. It will eventually drop down to the bottom.  Please don’t delete your original post or discussion title (referred to as a dirty delete or DD on this board). Thank you for removing the picture of your hpt. The hope is that new members who lurk before they post will see this and learn from this post as well. This is why you may see someone quoting your original post with the abbreviation QFP (Quote for Posterity). 

Whatever your outcome may be, have a wonderful day!

Edit: I did not see the hpt so I added a part.

"Thanks for turning an exciting morning into a shitty day."

I'm sure the ladies here who have had chemical pregnancies and miscarriages have something to say about that.

Rule of thumb always is to test again a day or 2 later if you're not sure about the results of a test.

kbrown2385

@inthewoods23 how on earth did I miss that part?? 

shamrocandroll

@inthewoods23 I do have lots to say about that, but I'm keeping quiet because Bambi taught me "If you can't say somethin' nice, don't say nothin' at all."

emeraldduchess

@inthewoods23 thank you, that's exactly what I was thinking. 

stowelan

Deleting the app now. No one deserves to be shamed like this, it’s disgusting. Thank you to the kind people like @dpchickens and @spacemountaineer who provided me with feedback in a positive, thoughtful way. It’s much appreciated.

dpchickens

kbrown2385  I also missed that part... but I'm with shamrocandroll and trying to be calm and nice today.... 

inthewoods23

@kbrown2385 caught it reading the QFPs that @stassischroeder posted. I think the first time I missed it because of the barf comment at the top.

Please bring on the barfs for all of us because that means good things have happened!

@shamrocandroll I hear you! And I don't even fall into those categories.

b_1029

did something happen between kbrown's post and her "thanks for the shitty day" post...I think I'm missing something? that wasn't bad????? 

madcouplewithabox

*grabs chest* oh what will we ever do without your pregnant  presence in our TTC lives! *faints from hopelessness* 

Im on CD1. No niceness in me this morning.

inthewoods23

@b_1029 nope, you missed nothing. She felt attacked at what kbrown said even though she attacked us with her pee stick first.

dpchickens

*sigh*  I thought my last GIF said "I need to know HOW we can all remain calm"  *sigh*  My bad!

emeraldduchess

@b_1029 I don't think so. I think she's mad because people called her out on breaking the rules.

b_1029

she must be KU if one small comment made her want to barf. 

we're having a good week ladies, so far we've been called toxic, disgusting, and made someone have a shitty day over nothing. and it's not even 10 am yet!

madcouplewithabox

kbrown2385

@b_1029 apparently I was rude because I asked her to remove her pee stick picture? Idk. I said please and congrats. Last I checked, that is relatively nice 🤷🏻‍♀️.

shamrocandroll

@kbrown2385

dpchickens

But I was thanked for being kind!

MUST be a full moon! 

inthewoods23

I ❤️ this thread so much today and @dpchickens that gif is awesome!

Just throwing my thoughts via gif

Hahaha @dpchickens I was like "Wow, dp is in a really good mood today!"

A Schitts Creek gif makes everything better. Damn I love that show!
