@inthewoods23 from my understanding it's like a first time slap on the wrist hey don't do that again... well....

inthewoods23

Wow that thread got shut down FAST

bluetickgal

@inthewoods23 it did! I normally miss them, but just happened to be here at the right (or wrong, because I really didn’t want to see that) time and was composing a pseudo friendly message pointing her to the right place. I got kicked out of the message because it was shut down! I had a candy gif and everything..so I’ll just put it here! Haha. 

inthewoods23

@bluetickgal I was trying to hit send on my message and then it was just gone!

I will agree, something didn't look right with the position on that line. I'm calling it an eval lol

ashaislurking

The position on that line is odd and I'm grossed out that you can still see pee drops on the test... No one wants to see that

jenotontx

@ashaislurking Someone posted a test on this other app I lurk on asking if it was positive and there was what appeared to be a pubic hair laying next to it. 🤢 Idk how people don’t see these things. 

ashaislurking

@jenotontx bathroom trash cans, extremely dirty sinks or bathtubs, and the obviously still sitting on the toilet feet in the picture are a few more common offenders I see. It's just... why?

mvt2003

I agree with @inthewoods23 it looks like an invalid test to me. The line is in the wrong place, and for a FRER that's not a good thing. I've had wonky strip placement on Wondfos but those are just cheap strips, if you're paying for a FRER then the placement matters. 

Also, I wish the photos would get deleted normally, but when they're obviously a negative or an invalid test I am amused enough by them so...

chindimples04

Definitely looks invalid. That line is way to far to the left. She also hasn’t gone over to the other thread for opinions, so she must know already. 🤷🏻‍♀️

inthewoods23

@chindimples04 stay here long enough and you'll notice that 99% of those that post their pee sticks here never go to 1st Tri. And those that do, they'll end up creating their own post there instead of the obvious "what does a positive pregnancy test look like" thread. It's maddening how bad people are at following instruction.

mvt2003

I feel like that thread in 1st tri is polluted by bots these days anyway, so the Peggys would fit right in.  

inthewoods23

@mvt2003 I am so glad that finally stopped. Bots pop up once in a blue moon now.

Didn't we have one the other week in the OPK thread or something? It was weird.

mvt2003

@inthewoods23 I'm pretty sure they hit the first thread on a page, so I'm not surprised. This is what happens when a mandatory waiting period gets removed...  

chindimples04

I’m pretty sure we had a random “omg check out this sale” comment or thread the other day. I don’t remember which, I just remember rolling my eyes and closing it. 🤣

inthewoods23

@chindimples04 oh yeah! wasn't it like a 20% off thing at target?

ashaislurking

@mvt2003 there is a waiting period again but it's not specific. It's "you'll be able to comment in a few hours".

krash_

I joined the Proov support group on FB and there was a post the other day and her counter was COVERED in hair. Like piles of trimmed hair. How do you post that to social media with zero concern? I had second hand embarrassment. 

chindimples04

@inthewoods23 something like that. I didn’t pay much attention. 

@ashaislurking yea, I could comment after 24 hours but couldn’t post pictures or spoilers or anything “fancy” for 72 hours. I was annoyed because I’ve been here before but lost access to that account. 🤣 But that’s different. Lol.

asf0613

@krash_ i saw that on there!!!! and honestly i had to turn off the posts from that on my feed because if i saw one more test photo i was gonna lose it

asf0613

posting here for some quick guidance base don my annual visit today.  i've had concerns about a short LP and talked to my OBGYN today.  we are going to proceed with CD3 testing first and then will check progesterone later in cycle if needed.  since i know a lot of you ladies have gone through this, is there anything i should ask for beyond what she has ordered tested?:

• TSH + free T4, serum

• glycohemoglobin, total, blood

• prolactin, serum

• anti-mullerian hormone (amh), serum

• estradiol, serum

• FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone), serum

thanks 

emeraldduchess

@asf0613 the only thing I would ask about is your blood type, if you don't already know it. *TW* I didn't know mine until my first loss and it turns out I am RH negative, which means I needed a shot AL and will need them during pregnancy.*End TW*

asf0613

thanks @emeraldduchess TW/ they checked that during my previous pregnancy that resulted in loss (not because of RH) /End TW and all good there, but thanks so much for that insight!!

legallykate

@asf0613 I've recently been seeing a lot of women having their testosterone/DHEA tested as well but I do not know much about it, but maybe something to look into/ask about?
