I took ones test last night that came out positive and then took the second one that was in the box just now and it said I was not pregnant.... which would you believe?!

I hope you are just ignorant about how the boards work and aren't really giving us a drive-by bfp. I am in a good mood today so I will answer your question....

Take a First Response Test ( pink dye test) with your first urine in the morning. If there is a line you are pregnant. If there is no line you are not.

If you are not- stick around and learn from our board and give a proper introduction and get to know the wonderful ladies on here.

If you are pregnant please move on to the first tri board.

She isn't new she is around other boards…..so i did not respond. I felt like this was a little drive byish and mean spirited possibly because she IS on other boards and probably knows better but Im not 100% sure.

Wow. Sorry I asked here. Yes I used to go on the bump with my previous pregnancies. Thought this might be a good new board to voice my anticipation/anxiety over this test. I have never had conflicting tests before.... and you know being that I am TTC after 35 and the board is called TTC after 35.

Sorry if you thought I was being mean spirited. I'll find a different place to go.

You are welcome to post here. This board is actually in the process of posting some "posting guidelines" so that those like you who might "lurk" or are less active can intro and ask your questions.

Please don't feel like this board is not for you. It's a wonderful board with actually some very wonderful women who are supportive.

Can you post an intro about yourself? How long you have been TTC, where you're from, how many children you have, and another fact you'd like to share?

PS: Never use blue-dye tests. They're frequently wrong. Stick with Answer, First Response, or digitals.

We are not telling you to go away. This is actually one of the more tolerant boards….but it has happened lately…drive by BFPs and there are many women here experiencing losses and difficulties.

I myself am not one with known issues or multiple losses, but i feel protective over and grown fond of women around here who are experiencing them.

I also said I wasn't sure. Its hard to tell sometimes. The internet is full of mean spirited people.

I think this is a perfect example of why some guidelines are a good idea.

We hope you do stick around and get to know us.... this is a very welcoming board. but a drive by bfp is never the way to start off on any board. Take your time to lurk and get to know the board, post an introduction. This group is very forgiving, encouraging and knowledgeable.

She IS new to THIS board, you can't assume people know you from other boards, I'm on several other boards on TB and don't recognize her. Each board is its own entity, I just don't understand posting this here if she has a different 'home' board she could post on. Proper etiquette for any board is to introduce yourself and give support to get it, she should know this if she's already on other Bump boards.

Yup…..thats why i put the words in that I just bolded. I was not sure, and it was possible. I also posted again to show I wasn't trying to be mean.

When i think its possible someone is poking at the ladies here i will occasionally take a peek at where they have been. I don't look to hard but just enough to see if they get around because this is after all one of the more easy going boards. I myself am only familiar with TTGP other than this one.

Honestly not much gets to me very often. Yesterday was a little rough for me. So maybe i was a little straight forward but i wasn't mean.

Today is another rough day for. My rough days are very rare but its gone so far as to get into my dreams. Not getting away from it apparently, so maybe its a good day to be off TB.

OP welcome and this is a board of very cool ladies. If unfortunately you are not PG Im sure we will be seeing you. Im not the mean girl Ive come off to be. Or maybe I am.

Anyway Im out. Have a good day girls.

@KirstenAlecia,

Im not the mean girl Ive come off to be. Or maybe I am.

Um, no. You are definitely not a mean girl!

I'm sorry you're having such a tough week. Take care of yourself!

@my4pups, welcome and good luck.

If ur pg congrats. Sorry ladies I've never introduced myself to this board. I just kinda jumped in, but I did use common sense to not blurt out things, some people on this board have never been pg, or have multiple MC. Either way FTTA to all
