Just that really. If you've had sex, there's a chance you may be pregnantHmm

Nobody on the internet can tell you if you're pregnant or not, so AIBU to tell these people to just fuck off and take a pregnancy test?

Well I felt really dizzy today, nearly puked, ears blocked and weak. My boobs were really sore too. Not pregnant,just banged my elbow really bad.Grin

The sore boobs were obviously unrelated, but for about 5 minutes I could've made an am I pregnant post.Grin

MidnightMystery · 27/07/2019 22:23

Is there a chance I could be pregnant ?!

I had sex , I haven't come on?

HelloGabriel · 27/07/2019 22:26

It's the whole 'I won't be able to get to Boots and buy a test until Friday at the earliest' (stated on a Tuesday).

--So I'll just basque in the ambience of your sad, undivided attention all week

YANBU AT ALL

Yes if you have had sex you could be pregnant...

Are you... do a test and find out...
As for not getting to buy one for three days... they either live literally on a hill in the middle of nowhere or are being ridiculous... Asda, Tesco, Boots, Co-op even my local petrol station sells tests...

It says negative but your sure you are... test again in a few days because we on the internet do not know if you are or not FFS 🤣

User3468793 · 27/07/2019 22:34

YANBU! A close runner up are “Nub Theory Boy or Girl???” threads. Just WAIT a few weeks and find out from a medical professional instead of asking strangers on the internet to squint at a blurry ultrasound pic taken from your phone. [facepalm intensifies]

*HJWT
COULD I BE PREGNANT 🤰?

Symptoms
Feel sick, dizziness, something kicking me and moving in my belly 🤣*

Come on now, I’ve had curries that have had that effect. Usually subsides within 6 months though, good point.

A close runner up are “Nub Theory Boy or Girl???” threads.

Apparently "it's a puppy " is not an appropriate response. Who knew?Blush

Marriedwithchildren5 · 27/07/2019 22:42

I remember wanting to be pregnant I pretty much googled every early symptom I could find and compare. Perhaps these people are desperate and looking for someone to give them hope. I dont often read the am i pregnant posts. Maybe you should avoid it to? Then it wont annoy you.

Marshmallow91 · 27/07/2019 22:44

But am I pregnant?

Grin
Yabbers · 27/07/2019 22:44

May I add, when you have taken the test and it is negative, don’t post pictures of a clearly negative test and ask the Internet if they can see the invisible second line.

Yabbers · 27/07/2019 22:45

@Marshmallow91

Yes! Congratulations.

LuckyLou7 · 27/07/2019 22:47

I don't like the obviously negative pregnancy test results photos, with heaps of people claiming 'I can see a line, congratulations OP!'
It's cruel.

TheHandsOfNeilBuchanan · 27/07/2019 22:50

I like to just say, yes definitely. It's twins.

SamBeckett · 27/07/2019 22:52

An accident is dropping a mig whilst washing up.

They are notoriously hard aeroplanes to wash

Jumbos are much easier to wash , ( cos they are elephants )

FreddiesMammy · 27/07/2019 22:53

YANBU these infuriate me

Freddolin · 27/07/2019 22:54

YANBU.

I think we need a permanent link to a flowchart:

Are you the Virgin Mary? If yes, you might be pregnant.

Have you had sex? If yes, you might be pregnant.

LolaSmiles · 27/07/2019 22:57

Well said OP!!

The ones I don't understand are:
OP: So guys, I had unprotected sex a few times but now I think I might be pregnant, but if I am then it couldn't come at a worse time, we hardly know each other / we need to make it official / we need to move in etx.
Lists symptoms here that starred 48 hours after the first round of unprotected sex before anything would have happened. Am I pregnant?

Replies: If you were having unprotected sex then you clearly weren't that bothered by having a baby. You'll have to wait and do a test.

OP: preparing to flounce - I should have known mumsnet was a nest vipers. I don't need a lesson in contraception. I'm someone who is worried they might be pregnant and all you're doing is telling me to do a pregnancy test and stop having unprotected sex. You're all mean, nasty people.

gamerchick · 27/07/2019 23:00

Agree, I find these threads completely pointless. I can't understand why anyone would squint at a line rather than just buy the one with the words 'pregnant/ not pregnant'

Because they're not that sensitive, people get obsessed with the week thing and they're expensive.

So someone who's tested the day after sex, thinks they can see a line and always always someone comes on and says get a digital test. They're bloody crap. They're supposed to be a bit of fun to bleed money from people. Thassal.

That's right at the top for irritating about am I pregnant threads for me Grin

I think people just want to talk about the thoughts churning around their heads in the first place. If you think you're pregnant, it's hard to think about anything else really.

kitk · 27/07/2019 23:03

Def YANBU. Particularly upsetting for those of us struggling to conceive. Keep it for conception boards

Lindormilk · 27/07/2019 23:18

YANBU. just piss on a stick FFS.

Cryalot2 · 27/07/2019 23:42

Totally agree with you. Yanu .

Justme1234567 · 27/07/2019 23:43

Amen sister! I can’t stand it!

NoSauce · 27/07/2019 23:52

Yanbu but I’m sceptical about how genuine some of these threads are anyway tbh.

I think there’s a propensity for them to be not what they seem.

Binforky · 27/07/2019 23:53

Yanbu

Is there a chance I could be pregnant? I've not had a period for 3 months, have sore boobs and feel sick. I haven't had sex in 3 years and I'm sterilized but I had a dream about and angel so is there a chance??

SpaceDinosaur · 27/07/2019 23:56

People who ask their phone of they're pregnant....

Pee on your phone, that'll tell you.
