BFN, unsure & getting back on BC
wickedrodent
member
Hey there guys! I'm sorta in a strange place right now.
I'd been on the pill for years, but I had a two and a half - 3 month lapse where I went off it, unwillingly. It started with some missed pills and having to wait for everything to catch up and balance out. Then, when it did - I tried to refill and had problems with the pharmacy (them needing a doctor's write off, updated insurance card, etc). Well, I'm finally back to the point where I have my pills.
Here's the dilemma. I'm supposed to start my first my pack today, but I worry I may be pregnant. I can't remember when my last period was - I know that's awful. We've been having unprotected sex. I took a pregnancy test Friday, at night, and it was BFN.
So, should I wait a while and then re-test before going on the pill? Or should I trust the negative and start back on my pill pack? If I don't start today I'd have to wait until next Sunday. AF doesn't seem to be anywhere in sight, and some of the things I've been feeling (frequent urination, "full" bladder feeling, food aversion) seem to indicate possible pregnancy. However, if I was - shouldn't it show up on the test?

Re: BFN, unsure & getting back on BC
Wow, was the rudeness really necessary? I'm pretty new here, and from what I've seen on the forums (since I've been browsing), I doubt I'll stay here long.
If it's a repeated question and you don't feel like answering - don't. That's fine and dandy. Why go out of your way to be mean, though? Makes no sense to me.
Back on the subject, however, I've seen nothing regarding BFN & BC, since most of the ladies are TTC. My question was whether to wait & retest or go straight back on BC starting today.

That wasn't rude. It's the truth. And your post really has nothing to do with birth control aside from the fact that you apparently don't know how to use it and don't want a child and are still having unprotected sex.
If you think you might be pregnant, take a test once a week until AF shows, at which point you can start your BC. If you are at all in doubt about the status of your uterus, obviously don't start taking pills again.
You know your answer.
Honestly if you're not ready to have kids, you shouldn't be having unprotected sex---period. I don't care if condoms are uncomfortable or if you forgot to buy some...it's called "You know what honey? We shouldn't do this, we don't have protection". From the sounds of it, I'm laying odds that you secretly hoping for an oooopsie.

First - yes, you guys are incredibly rude. I'm not sure if there's just a lack of moderators or what, but MAN, I really feel sorry for anyone who needs legitimate help and comes here looking for it.
Second - I'm a married, employed, responsible woman. As I already stated, there were multiple factors involved in me not taking me BC. My husband and I were both aware of this. Are we actively TTC? No. Would we be happy/ready if we ended up pregnant? Yes. The fact that you guys feel the need to stoop and make comments to the contrary are despicable.
Third - If you don't want people asking questions, you guys shouldn't even exist as a forum. That's what forums are FOR. Asking questions. Discussing things.
I've already gone and found a much better, much more helpful site. Since there are multiple instances of this sort of rudeness here (which I've only just recently found from the browsing that I was doing, BTW), I doubt anything will be done in terms of reprimanding your rude behavior. I hope this forum gets under control or gets shut down.
Babygaga for the win.

No where in your post did you say anything about being ready for a baby. You repeatedly talked about how you wanted to be back on your BCP, but for various reasons at repeated times, you could not get back on. You stated "I worry I may be pregnant"....I'm sorry that we were unable to read in between all of the obvious clues that this would be an exciting time for you and, as a result, have hurt your e-feelings.

LMAO. Her last post explains so much about this one.

I think it's easy for you to forget over the screen that this is a reallife person who was looking for an answer. She didn't come on here trying to start anything, just an answer to her question. If you didn't have a sensible answer then why did you respond? Didn't your mothers teach you if you don't have anything nice to say font say anything at all?
So we all get busy in our lives, so we all make mistakes. I can guarantee none of you are perfect just based on the incredibly rude responses you've given. I hope to God none of you are mothers because if your children end up as rude and unhelpful as you then the world is doomed.
Maybe she just wanted to discuss her situation with someone who doesn't know her so can't judge her. Maybe none of the others posts answered her question exactly and she wanted to double check. She has therefore shown herself to be a responsible adult, by asking and trying to do what's best for her potential baby. Do you think at this point in her life she needs this kind of bull from you lot? No. She needs helpful advice and someone to talk to. Obviously this is not the place to get it.
This is my "Shown the light face", fyi. You with your new screen name, coming in to tell me how wrong I am and how sorry you feel for me and for my family....you telling me what an awful mother I must be...you have shown me the light! How could I ever thank you?!?!
And for good measure....

It would have been extremely immature to stick up for herself!!! LOL!!
I hope after this "scare" she gets smart and starts taking her BC as directed because it seems like the world would be DOOMED if she got KTFU at this point!
My Ovulation Chart
Me too!!!!! Should someone call CPS and take them away?
I am not the OP check the IP addresses if you're that sad.
I am guessing from details given in her original post that the OP is in the States. I am not.
Not everyone is as pathetic as you.
And I quite clearly know how to use the word ignorant, you are ignorant of others' feelings.
Bahahaha!! This is too funny!! I have little "faith in humanity" due to the fact that the OP has many "scares" yet has not figured out how to properly use her BC and she is on a forum talking about TTC when she is trying to get back on BC ASAP!!! If we are ignorant, then what does that make her?!

Doesn't it get a little boring?
Does having multiple pregnancy scares get a little boring?
My Ovulation Chart
Nope.
So that's an assumption...
ETA:
Another assumption right there. I have not had any scares.
Have fun with your abuse, I'm sure this forum is the only 'good' thing in your lives.
Actually the multiple scares is fact, as evidenced by her other post that is linked here. Go back and check the first page. Always fact check before telling someone they are wrong.
So saying "with every scare we get more sure" is not multiple. Please tell me that last time you heard someone say "I want to have every baby" implying that they only would like one.
