    @bserena Looks good in general! One small point is that you generally do not capitalize "medical school" unless it is part of a specific name (i.e. UAB Medical School)

    @mvt2003 to be fair I'm that way with my cat. I look at her face and gush wondering why she's so damn adorable.

    @ttcbabyodo true, and you can't blow up the profile pics on mobile, only from the desktop. I can't tell you how many times I wondered what exactly someone's profile pic was until I saw a larger version of it on the desktop.

    Happy weekend! The app wouldn’t let me read any threads for the past week pretty much so that’s been annoying. Hope everyone has had a good week and I’ll try to catch up on stuff tonight and tomorrow :)

    Happy weekend ladies! Glitchy app over here too. My mom left yesterday and we had to drive to the airport an hour away so it's been busy. Now we're just relaxing, eating nachos and watching a movie. No Superbowl for us but I'm rooting for the Niners as one of my best friends is a fan.

    Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend! @bserena the bio is really well written.

    Still don't understand why people think about tearing tests apart...for real these are just trolls that lurk and know what pisses people off so they can make a post about it... because I refuse to believe that they are so dumb.

    @morethanamama like I said in the post, what the heck are they hoping to find by breaking it apart?? Makes no sense.

    Now if I had to guess, that "second line" is where the dye sits in the test and then some of that gets distributed by the urine once the test is taken.

    Is this a good example of play stupid games, win stupid prizes? Lol

    @inthewoods23 that's what I thought about that second line too. I guess I just cannot relate...once I got BFNs, that was it for me. I surely have thought of retesting, or using a different test, but never of taking the rest apart!
