Hello! It’s against terms of use (TOU) to ask other participants if you are pregnant (even in a around about way). We do not believe in giving people false hope. You will not be getting responses like “OMG! You are totes preggo!” or “That happened to me. You must be KU!” We cannot tell you if are pregnant. We are but strangers on the internet. Many of us have not been pregnant before. The best advice is to wait and test again or call your doctor.
The Bump (TB) does things differently than other pregnancy forums. The only place you are allowed to post a picture of a pregnancy test is here:
You do not need to come back and update us on your status. We lurk on the various boards and will see your happy news on your BMB or the first tri board.
If it turns out that you are not pregnant and choose to stick around, this board is a fantastic resource. It is full of knowledgeable women! We like order and appreciate it when people follow the rules. It makes interacting easier.
These should answer some questions and help with the terminology and abbreviations that are used on TB. It will also help you understand the daily Waiting to Ovulate (WTO) & Two Week Wait (TWW) threads.
2. Lurk: Click on threads. See what these recurring posts are all about. Find your niche.
3. Use the search bar at the bottom of the screen. Many women have sought answers to the same questions.
4. Introduce yourself: go to Newbie Intro W/O (Current week)- If the current week does not happen to be up yet, please post on the previous week’s post. We no longer do individual posts to introduce ourselves.
5. Start contributing on the appropriate threads.
Doing one off posts/individual discussions are not encouraged here. There are lots of opportunities to ask trying to get pregnant (TTGP) questions in various threads. That being said, we do not appreciate it when someone attempts to use us as their own personal google. We are community that believes you must give support in order to receive it.
What to do about this post? You can’t delete it. You can ask @ BumpAdmin to close the discussion. It will eventually drop down to the bottom. Please don’t delete your original post or discussion title (referred to as a dirty delete or DD on this board). If you did post a picture of OPK/HTP, please remove that. The hope is that new members who lurk before they post will see this and learn from this post as well. This is why you may see someone quoting your original post with the abbreviation QFP (Quote for Posterity). The best thing to do now is to simply apologize and move on.
Whatever your outcome may be, have a wonderful day!
This post is 100% not allowed on this board. Reading the rules in the post that tells you in its title to read the rules before you post here would have been helpful. Go to First Tri where posts like this are... less not allowed. There's a "What a Positive Pregnancy Test" thread there that will get more helpful replies bc it was designed for a post like this--here, you're about to get a bunch of righteously angry replies, as this, again, breaks the rules of the board meant to protect the members of this community. Emphasis on community.
