Listen, OP, most of us here have made a mistake before and been properly flamed. Myself included.
The difference is that instead of constantly defending yourself by apologizing (but at the same time explaining why what you did wasn't really that wrong), you just let it go. Take the time to lurk as posters have suggested, and then be a part of this community. Take your licks, learn from it, and move on.
I just wanted to state, for the record, 99.1 is NOT a fever. That is a perfectly healthy, normal, average temperature for the afternoon. Anything over 99.6 could be considered a very mild fever.

Emergency Rooms don't even pull out the F word (fever) until 100.4.
OP, for what it's worth this post would not go over well on the First Tri or Birth Month Boards, either. I know you want to keep defending yourself right now, but a really good move is just to say, "look, I made a mistake, I'm sorry, I'll read the newbie threads and lurk more," and then jump in when you get the hang of the community. Good luck, OP.

Okay, butting in because no one said it. You mentioned that you aren't taking vitamins. If you think you might be pregnant, please start taking prenatals ASAP. Then, even if you're not, just keep taking them if you're going to TTC soon. It's really, really important for early development.
This group is fabulous if you put in some effort, and you should give it another go if you get a BFN. Read the Newbie post, lurk, and then start participating in the daily threads.
