I love how one choice about one month makes me "ignorant about a lot of things" and your total lack of knowledge of my medical history makes you know "infinitely more" about my own body than I do. Your experiences are not mine. You really ought to learn that everyone is different and stop projecting your own life onto someone else's.
Apologies if you feel degraded, must be my ignorance showing through.
I am still curious. When did you stop BC? Were you on BC?
I stopped hormonal BC in 2006 because it did wacky things to my system. Condoms are my go-to BC these days. DH and I stopped using those in May when DD turned 1.
I am truly sorry for any offense that I caused. I was, whether rightly or wrongly, not in a good place over the weekend and reacted from the gut when your words hurt me, instead of thinking about how my words might affect you.
You women drive me nuts. I just said I had no idea, because it LOOKED like it let me post. I don't honestly keep track of the time when I hit "post", so it's quite possible that I didn't actually post during that time. Not trying to prove anything, just mentioning that I didn't notice it went down.
Also, see that part up there where I got all chewed out for calling you ladies names just as bad as you called me names? Note how I've stopped calling names and apologized for it? Note how I'm still being called a "special snowflake" and an "idiot". Grow up and move on. I honestly thought that maybe my apology had stopped this stupid argument, because no one replied. Nice to know it only went quiet because you couldn't post.
I went to the doc's, you think that's dumb. We both used language maybe we shouldn't have. I apologized. Can we just be done already?
:whistles: this is the song that doesn't end....
We get it, you're a better person than us.

Nice to know that when a girl needs support, she can count on the Bump B*tches to bring her back down.
For the record, I needed peace of mind. I know everything you already said about waiting 60 days. I explained that to my doc when I called for the appt. They would not have seen me, or run any tests if they did not feel that I needed them. I am being given a blood test to check my levels to see if I WAS pregnant. That's right, they think maybe I'm having a miscarriage as about 2 hours after I posted this, I started spotting but don't have my period yet. Based on my particular set of symptoms, it's either that or a thyroid issue, which they are also testing for. Glad to know that all you ladies are doctors and can accurately tell when someone's not pregnant by what she says in a post.
So, thanks to the first person to respond for actually being supportive, and to the rest of, well, what I want to say will get blanked out so I'll just leave it to your imagination.
You can curse now. Just pointing that out. You are a bit behind. This post has been going for days. You know, Before the format change.
I think she was taking about this part.. "So, thanks to the first person to respond for actually being supportive, and to the rest of, well, what I want to say will get blanked out so I'll just leave it to your imagination. "

Could be. If she knew to mask bitches, then she'd know how to mask the rest though.
I won't be snarky... there is a special board for that.
I would have gone to the doctor too. It's better to know than to sit around thinking about it. And if being late is not the norm for you, then it's not an overreaction (in my opinion) to go see the doc.
Hoping your monday news is helpful in your journey one way or another.

This post is almost a week old. The Monday she is referring to already passed. Since she didn't update it's safe to say she wasn't pregnant.
She updated at some point before they updated the board. She wasn't pregnant and IIRC, started her period the day of or the day after she went to the doctor. It was pretty much exactly what we all told her. She was late and the negative tests meant that she wasn't pregnant. Her doctor started talking about M/C without any sort of indication that she was ever actually pregnant.
Lurkers of the world: Three free fertility lessons for you. 1) If you don't know the day you actually ovulated, you don't know if you're actually late. 2) The calendar doesn't work for predicting ovulation because even Siri isn't advanced enough to actually see inside your uterus. 3) The odds of not getting a positive pregnancy test when you are actually pregnant are so small that in all of the years I've been on The Bump/Nest/Knot, I can only think of ONE person that this applies to. If you're getting a BFN past 30 days, test again in a few days-a week. If there's a BFN then, test again in another few days-a week. Repeat as necessary until you get a BFP, CD1 or 60 days. At that point, 60 days would be a completely rational call to the doctor.

Please dont take this shit to the snarky board. That board isn't for dumb asses who can't figure out when they ovulate. It's for women who have true IF and have been around a long time.
NO REALLY!!!! I spent the day at the Ecotarium, took my 4 year old to see a movie last night and made brownies with them in the afternoon yesterday. We played with Mr. Potato head and read at least 10 books. I gave my kids a bath and enjoyed some time with my husband... I am not saying I am better than any of you all I am saying is their is more than sitting around on these boards and insulting people. You guys can take your 55,000 posts and shove them where the sun doesn't shine. Unlike all of you I have not insulted any of you except to tell you all to see outside your narrow one sided perspective. I see you have all had a long road with fertility and my heart truly goes out to ANY woman who has a hard to with conception and carrying a child (truly). But their was a day that you were new to this and excited and unsure of yourself and your body. I think it would do you all a bit of good to do a little self reflection. Flexing your internet muscles is not making you a bigger or better person.

I usually lurk here but I HAD to comment. In 2009 when I was TTC for baby#1 I had tons of symptoms too. I tested and it was a faint positive. I went in to the Dr. for a blood test and they called me the very next day to tell me my numbers were low but they indicated a positive. I started spotting light brown that same afternoon. By that night, I was full on bleeding HEAVY and passing medium size clots. The Dr. told me I had a chemical pregnancy and had I not been TTC I would have just thought I had a very heavy late period. IF you are pregnant, the pee test will be positive. I am not trying to be a b!tch to you, but talking about a m/c is serious business. A little spotting does not mean you are having a m/c...I don't think you were pregnant to start off with. I wish you the best of luck and hope you get pregnant soon. FWIW, these ladies on here are just trying to help you and they are not being intentionally "mean."
My kid is currently playing on his leappad, thanks for asking.

So you feel sorry for our husbands and kids? Good to know.
I didn't see my kid for almost 48 hours straight this week and last night I made her eat dinner alone in her room with a movie on a tablet and told her not to come downstairs until I went to get her. Then I rewarded her with chocolate.
@Adrienne1432, please explain exactly what was abusive about the above for you to flag me.
I'll just bump this here.
You get flagged for the most ridiculous reasons. I am lurking around I keep seeing you getting flagged...
Lurker coming out of the woods here. I don't understand why this is so difficult for you to understand, OP. if you have a " late" period, use an hpt. BFN means you need to test every week until you have a period. When you reach the 60 day mark then go the doctor. Thank God when this happened to me, my doctor didn't give me a blood test. She just changed my bc and next pill cycle my period came. To assume that you know nothing and the doctor is the only person in the world with all of the knowledge is basically admitting your own ignorance.
Dear God, please learn the difference between their, there, and they're. Please, please, please.
You got flagged? Where? It amuses me how the same three people went on a flagging spree.

So I don't technically go here but I have a baby and a brain and after reading this thread I feel like I want to start going here. Anyway... @ghostmonkey I literally lol'd at this for longer than I can admit.

#5. You have a great sig pic.
I think I love you. I want to love you, but the newbs that don't like us have said that none of us like newbs, so I don't think I'm allowed. Decisions, Decisions.....
