Q Am I pregnant ?
A are you a female who ovulates?, have you had sex ?, have you missed a period?.
Buy a bloody test, ideally a digital one that says 'pregnant' or 'not pregnant '. That way you won't have to post again asking if anyone can see a line.

Ah I read it wrong. Anyway this should be the answer to the am I pregnant posts.

I think some posters don't realise this thread is about what your answer would be to a thread title or post, not what MN posters typically say.

Or maybe I've got it wrong, in which case, ignore my posts.
