What is it with all the "am I pregnant" threads?

In this day and age, when a test costs £1 from the £1 shop and you can know the results in less than an hour (even allowing for the time it takes to go and buy the damn stick to piss on) do grown woman still post on the internet asking "am I pregnant"?

Because they want to know if they are pregnant 5 minutes after having shagged, and tests don't work that early.

I prefer the advice 'Tie a frog to your stomach, after 8 months take off the string. If the frog stays on your stomach on its own, you are pregnant.'

i do agree. Had i thought i was pregnant id just take a test. Some people just like the drama and attention, is she? isnt she? stuff

JodiesMummy · 26/10/2010 12:29

Ha TS!!!

They are 89p in home and bargain.

DeadBodyofKaraStarbuckThrace · 26/10/2010 12:32

Oh they could just do this test

And it really works - it said I was pregnant(correct have used the POAS method!), and apparently I'm having a girl!!

YANBU. But with dc1 & 2, I didn't get a bfp at all. If I knew about mn then, I would have been on starting an "am I pg" thread of my own!

GoreRenewed · 26/10/2010 12:35

Quite right.

"Am I pregnant?"

"I don't know"

DanceOnTheDarkSide · 26/10/2010 12:36

Its a great test that online one except that i am not pregnant unless i have been cursed blessed to carry the next child of a saviour.Which of course could possible....

A1980 · 26/10/2010 12:37

I don't get them either. It's ridiculous. Just buy the test...!

bosch · 26/10/2010 12:37

DeadBody - that's great!

Unfortunately, so am I! You'd be amazed if I told you who the father was!

Seriously though, isn't it just a completely reasonable bluff for wanting to talk about something that you can't do in rl?

I told another mum on school run the other day that my af is extremely late because I needed to say it out loud. However, I am 43 and have done pg test and got -ve and I think there is another explanation for late af Sad

nancy, was going to ask you where my keys are Wink

harassedinherWITCHYpants · 26/10/2010 12:40

Ooh love the online test!! I'm ttc so going to save me a fortune.

I am pregnant!! Pah to 2ww. Only problem is they've identified the father as Arnold Schwarzenegger.......I knew there was something I had to tell dh!! Grin

Op - YANBU, it's very annoying.

That online pregnancy test is brilliant! Call the Tabloids! I'm pregnant despite having had an oophorectomy 7 years ago!

I'll be rich soon! :o

TrillianSlasher · 26/10/2010 12:45

My imaginary baby is going to weigh 13lbs 16oz - so 14lbs then? best book in for the c-section.

JodiesMummy · 26/10/2010 12:46

Im pregnant by Arnold Schwarzenegger!!!! How am I going to explain this to DP???

MrsSOAK · 26/10/2010 12:46

DeadBodyofKaraStarbuckThrace - hmm I am (apparently) also pg with a girl, thanks to the pope and she will be 12lb 10 oz! [hgrin]

megapixels · 26/10/2010 12:46

YANBU. I don't understand it either. When I thought I was pregnant, I simply did a test. Thought that was the only logical option.

JodiesMummy · 26/10/2010 12:47

Mine is a girl too, Arnolita.

GoreRenewed · 26/10/2010 12:47

Oh FFS! Bill Clinton?

I must have been ver ver drunk Grin

JodiesMummy · 26/10/2010 12:48

That was a blowjob gone wrong GR...he is renowned for it.

Firawla · 26/10/2010 12:48

maybe they are wondering about it before the time to do a test? like personally i am wondering so i thought ill buy the first response one but went to boots it was 30 quid!! so i thought no thanks might aswel wait... not that i would make a thread though to ask random people on the net but its not that you can always take a test as soon as you wonder.
i went on ebay though and got some 'early tests' for well cheap, but waiting for them to come dont kno if they are any good - could not beleive the price!! if they do work ill not be buying from boots again you get 5 or 10 for a couple of quid!
