Can you still test with spotting please help I haven't had a baby in 18 yrs

kwaldy · April 2015

Yes. If you're two weeks late, just pee on the stick. If you're pregnant, it'll show.

No I trust in my Lord Jesus Christ ! No menopause! I will I declare! And decree!

MamaRoni · April 2015

Why are you begging for help? Pee on the stick. Either you are pregnant or you arent. It's simple.
if it's negative. ... call your doc. If it's positive. ... call your doc. End.of.story

Liberty1025 · April 2015

Darlin, if a test is neg on day 44, I'm not sure what kind of help you're looking for from Internet strangers. Pretty sure Jesus can't stop menopause, either.

I waited until the month was over.
Ex: my last period was Feb 16. I didn't start in april. As soon as March 16 passed and no period I questioned. But i used to have a past of irregular periods so I waited until close to the end of the month to test. U might wait a few more weeks or call your Dr

Do you mean March? Today is April 5.

It may be possible, but I've never known anyone who couldn't turn a test at 6 wks or more that wound up being pregnant.

Also, I think she just doesn't like the answers given,,b/c it seems others gave her same advice to test a few days ago. https://forums.thebump.com/discussion/12554512/no-cycle#latest

In a post you replied to a couple of days ago you said that you were 5w5d so what is it are you pregnant or not?

Here is my thing I was 6w when I was late I tested 5,4,3,2,1 days of my missed period with a varity of different brand test from different stores. All negative. But I read online if you mix bleach with your urine it is more sensitive that the stick tests. So I did. Be sure to do this out doors due to any fumes that may appear because they most definitely will if you are. So here is what I did: after a get together with friends and family grilling out my husbands beer made me sick I couldn't be around him it was almost as it were seeping through his pores. So, I read that online and I mixed my 4 ounces of urine, with 4 ounces of regular bleach. I peed in one cup then poured bleach in another. Then I took them both outside and poured the urine into the cup of bleach. The result? It sizzles and foams like crazy like when you mix baking soda and vinegar. It takes it a minute or two but if it picks up the hcg it will over flow. So then I was curious and I took the urine I had left over and I put my stick down into the urine that wasn't used and there you go I got a very faded test but it was definitely + so then 4 days later I took another one and instantly there was a positive. I watched the results from inside my home out the window to make sure there were no fumes that would bother or harm me. But it definitely worked for me!!! Hope it helps! Plus it's like chemistry class

I would also like to say that I understand we are all hormonal pregnant or not, However, that does not give you the right to be rude. Have some respect ladies. She is obviously concerned and I strongly believe that if she has two children already then she is well experienced and has the knowledge to consult with her doctor. I am not sure if some of you are aware or not, therefore, I will inform you that my OB/GYN won't even see me or any other patient unless I am referred by my family physician with a confirmed positive result. Also and whoever mentioned menopause, well I am here to tell you age has nothing to do with that because every woman is different my aunt (45) got pregnant by my uncle (53) and had a perfect and healthy baby two years ago, so miracles do happen. You need to read what's at the top of all the discussion boards before you end up getting kicked out. Place nicely ladies no one likes to be disrespected. I think most of you owe an apology. And if you are not woman enough to do it then you should definitely talk to your Higher Power because in the end they will be the one to judge because you do not have that authority!

I am sorry for their rudeness Ma'am some people are arrogant, disrespectful, and senseless. Just ignore them, you were asking for a helpful opinion and they were not mature enough to communicate like human beings. I know I don't owe the apology, but I feel they will not do it so I will on their behalf's. Which is ridiculous coming from a 23 year old and I am sure some of these women are older than me.

I'm half certain she's MUD.
No one is being rude. She came to a board for already pregnant women. She also violated the rules by asking if she should test. She would be eaten alive on the TTGP board, which is where she belongs until she gets a positive test.

The stupid is strong coming from someone who is misunderstanding the board rules. Which are from copy to paste:
But please don't ask if we think you’re pregnant or post your pee stick -- these are other members just like you, not doctors. Each woman’s pregnancy is unique and while Bumpies have great info and emotional support, only your medical professionals can confirm a pregnancy or diagnose issues.

She did not "ask if she were pregnant nor did she post her pee stick" therefore, she didn't violate any rules. I believe the topic question is "When to test".

AnnamariauDoris · April 2015

As someone pointed out the when should I test question goes to ttgp board not to the nov mommies to be! That is all that people say. And on the + side she is not being very coherent in her post. Or that is what i've got from all of this.

Do you really want to get into over a MUD post?! Really? No need to name call.

eswkgk123 · April 2015

And what does a "WK" mean exactly? Again, there are no rules to say which topic goes best under which forum or discussion. It says: But please don’t complain about reposts or crossposts. Other members may not have had the same opportunity to read it. And, naturally some conversations simply fit into two different forums. A link to the previously answered question might be more productive than a complaint about it. So my point being that she may be a new user and hasn't had the time to look through all the discussions and forums and regardless this is a Birth Club and she is a Mother! No one is calling names I did not call you stupid. I said "the stupid is strong coming from someone who is misunderstanding the board rules" Context clues reveal that you think it's strongly stupid cause you are misunderstanding the board rules.

There is a link. BuT no thank you or something she kept asking for help after a few good answers.

Yes I read that, however, the bullying started in on right after all that. She may have not received that comment because everyone was disrespectful and she was standing her ground. If you go back and notice I stand corrected that she didn't repost anything about testing she was busy defending her self. Never did I mention anything about her not being helped, I just stated that she was seeking helpful advise and in return she was bullied and being disrespected. Should the post be in a different forum yes, but there are no rules stating that it can not be. Just as there is nothing wrong with this post she asked when to test and was not expecting a medical opinion, but by experienced women whom were already pregnant. Someone tried to bring those topics up and was proven wrong and got defensive because they were in the wrong to begin with. I am just saying it's not fair to insult her by profusely stating she is in menopause and can not get pregnant. She is a mother of 2 18&23 and it's been a very long time since her last pregnancy and probably forgot when the best time to test was. Even then, like I said every woman and every pregnant is different. From my own recent experience I tested on days 6,5,4,3,2,1 and still had a negative result. They were bullying her by saying if she didn't get a positive result by now then she wasn't pregnant completely destroying all hopes and excitement for her, How is that right or fair? It's definitely not. That was my initial concern and they needed to apologize. You would not be scolding the women on TTC saying they were not pregnant at 6w cause they didn't get a positive result or at least I would hope not.

AnnamariauDoris · April 2015

Someone said menopause more as a question not as a rude statement. Those can actually be menopause symptoms! My grandmother enterd meno at 34-35 y ...so It is a posibillity. People were just telling her, that due to her age this could be a thing to consider. And going to a doctor would be the best bet she could get. But she just started mumbling about no meno, she trust Jesus and so on. That was no deffence. I'm not religeous but my son is baptised i also intend to do it with my second. and I respect peoples belives. But refusing to see what is going on with your body hideing begind Jesus...it's just a step to far in my opinon.

Have you been on that board? Yes. She would. Because no one knows if it's time for her to test or not. If she ovulated late then being on CD 44 means nothing.
There's no reason to get all upset.
She got good advice.

eswkgk123 · April 2015

Yes I see that, and the way she put it was neutral. However the way others put it saying they are half certain she is in menopause and she isn't pregnant, what gives them the knowledge of that? They don't know her or her symptoms. I also understand that those are signs of menopause, but don't discourage someone. Many said she needed to go to the doctor as I am aware of her needing to also, but has anyone asked why she hasn't been or if she has? No therefore, she is not "refusing" she may just haven't made it to her appointment yet being most clinics won't see you until your at least 8w late. Like I stated my ob/GYN won't see me except for a yearly or for birth control unless I have a referral. Yes I am quite a bit younger than her, but I also understand that some clinics have the same policy if there are no major issues they try to concentrate on the pregnant women and those who are high risk or have complications. Did anyone asked her when her last yearly was to confirm or deny menopause? No. They assumed. A few of them discouraged her. To the women who advised her to see her doctor I have no issues with. That's what she should do. And that's all I am saying. It wasn't fair to completely discourage her of all hopes and excitements for being pregnant. Like i stated miracles happen. My mom got pregnant with her tubes tied after me, she lost the baby, but there is always that one percent. Just like my aunt getting pregnant at 45 with my 53 year old uncle. If it happens it happens regardless. And I have to say I appreciate you respecting others beliefs.

ADVICE was given by some and then again it was not given it was assumed that she was not pregnant because of menopause. That is not knowledge because knowledge is KNOWING!!
