So, I'm not necessarily trying to get pregnant, but I'm very much not avoiding it. I felt a little rough last month, had a period 4 days late, it was "mostly" normal. I'm usually a tapering on and off full week, and this time it was bookended with spotting and only 4 days of true bleeding. I still was pretty sure I wasn't pregnant. I never got my normal feel-good-energy weeks after my period, (which I'm very on-top and aware of). Lots of headaches and abnormally irritable and sensitive to the way people have treated me. I'm pretty thick skinned, cool, and collected. Shoot, I almost killed my SO when he laughed about me taking a "Hogwarts House" quiz and getting Gryffindor when he then proceeded to repeatedly tell me I was a Hufflepuff. I almost murdered him. Irrational? Yes.
Anyway, just to shake that weird lingering feeling, I took a cheap stupid blue dye test today with super diluted urine. I haven't done the deed since last month anyway, so I knew it would only reflect if I had gotten pregnant last month. Pretty sure this is a no, in my gut I feel it's a no. But quickly, and within 5 minutes I saw a faint line. A very faint line, but I saw it.
I'm posting the picture just to get a little bit of reality thrown on me. You wouldn't consider yourself pregnant with this result would you? I'm probably just in a funk ya?
Also, I know 3 ladies who've had ectopics, so it's something I've got a bit of heightened paranoia for.

I didnt even even read your post, but I don't have to. It's against TOU to ask if you are pregnant and to post pics of pee stick (except on first tri - what does a positive look like?).

We refuse to answer people who do not follow the rules. If you had read them as you stated, you would have known what you are doing is against them. Please read them more closely next time.

Why are you bawling? Nobody was particularly mean and if you would actually participate in the community you wouldn't consider anyone here "mean" but actually find a supportive group of women's. You don't just come on a board and post something against the TOU, that's what you did wrong.
Whatever, I'll just delete it. I have a hunch no ones going to talk to me like a human being.
Would you rather we talked to you like you were a dog or something? I can speak fish. Bubble bubble. Bubble. Bubbububububble. Womp.
Also, FWIW - blue dye tests suck and bleed and aren't to be trusted, and it sounds like you're really stressed and need to take a chill pill. You apparently had your period and then haven't had sex since then - why would you think you're pregnant? Unless it's gonna be a butt baby...
@PhotogAsh the people here are not being mean. It is against the terms of use to ask this community if your are pregnant and to post a picture of your pregnancy test. There are many women on this board to have been trying to get pregnant for many months or years and they come here for friendship and support. Can you imagine being in that situation and then logging on to see a stranger asking if they are pregnant?
This post would go in the 1st Trimester board under the What Does A Positive Pregnancy Test Look Like discussion.
In general, its not a good idea to go on to any board or forum on the internet and do a drive by post. That is what is considered trolling.

OP let me break it down for you. Firstly, every forum has rules and on this one we expect you to actually read and follow them. It is against the rules (that you agreed to) to post pee sticks in certain forums or ask if you are pregnant.
Secondly it is also in bad taste. Do you think I want to hear about your maybe oopsie pregnancy when I'm spending thousands of dollars on IVF that has a poor chance of even working? I got some bad news today and this is the last thing I want to see right now. You wouldn't walk into Starbucks and wave your test around and say 'Hey I think I'm KU, what do you guys think?'. Right? That's because you don't know those people or what they are going through. Same applies here.
Whatever, I'll just delete it. I have a hunch no ones going to talk to me like a human being.
Internet strangers cannot tell you if you are pregnant or not. Take a new test in the morning for more "funsies" to see if you're pregnant. And if you think anyone treated you unfair, imagine being out to eat with a group of friends you have known for awhile. Then picture a random person sitting down at your table and yelling over everyone else "look at me! Look at this photo on my phone no one asked to see!" Kind of obnoxious right? That's kind of what you did here. And with a pic of something you peed on. Read the rules again, lurk, learn the flow of the community, then participate. That's a true statement for any forum.
@izza2 fun fact: if FF is right about my predicted O date, and I get KTFU this cycle, my due date would be Angelina's birthdate. THAT HAS TO BE A SIGN RIGHT?!?!?!?!?!

Omg! The infamous butt baby! Haha...I just came here to see what she did that needed an apology, stayed for the Potter references, but the butt baby post being brought from the dead....DED!
I just spit water out reading that forum. And the user asking her if she pooped on the stick.. omg.
Also, OP, as someone who a few months ago came in here without reading the rules of the board, I ended up hurting all of these wonderful ladies because I didn't take the time to read. And I am sorry for hurting those, it was never my intention.
This board has rules and regulations for a reason.
But to delete your original post and just put SORRY as the title, they definitely deserve more than that. And for the love of all that is good, READ first.
I feel like we should have a "the best of" thread that we can pin to the board and add posts like butt baby and noodle tests to when they come around. That would be awesome.
