lurking on other TTC site.....

I know my first day on TB, I was a total n00b but today I was lurking on some other TTC forums/sites and the stupidity of some people baffles me. SO many "BFP" pictures that say things like "there wasn't a line at first but after 2 hours one showed up! IM PREGNANT. Don't give up hope if the line doesn't show up right away!". Read the instructions! They are right there!
Jeez, I know I was a little "phantom symptom" crazy last week and I felt so stupid afterward, but holy crap at least I wasn't that ridiculous!

I apologize for my stupidity when I first got here. I realize now how f-ing annoying it was. Please forgive me. :P lol

I remember when I first joined and saw my first "am I pregnant" post. I didn't get why everyone wanted to smack the poster up. Fast forward to seeing 5756885933 of those posts and I absolutely understand it!

Oh God, I know and its only been a few days for me. At least no one here is giving women false hope that their false positive is real, though.

this seems super sad to me.

so all these women think they had "chemical pregnancies" when they get AF?

that seems cruel.

Probably Neopets.




TTC since October 2011.
DX with Non-IR PCOS in October 2012.
Missing RIGHT tube due to a prior surgery to remove cyst-zilla (40 lbs!) at age 12.
HSG showed tube was blocked - cleared by dye. DON'T DO CLOMID WITHOUT AN HSG!
Cycle #8 with 50mg Clomid & TI = BFN
Cycle #9 with 50mg Clomid & TI = No response.
Cycle #10 with Clomid 100mg + Ovidrel shot = BFN
Cycle #11 is a break cycle. Cycle #12 is a break cycle. (The break so nice, she did it twice!)

I was googling stats on what % of women actually get positive tests at 10 dop (not just with frers but in general) and obviously came across a lot of test sharing and forums. I know I went on countdowntopregnancy and babycenter and like 4 others.
I'm not saying that all the women on the sites I saw are like this, I assume they just get more stupidity on their forums because they come up when you google TTC things.

Sounds like 2weekwait.com . They constantly post these negative pregnancy tests and swear to each other that they see lines.

yeah that's stupid. When I test I throw it out after a few minutes and no line. I figure even if the line COULD still appear in the next 7 or so minutes before the test is invalid, it probably won't if it's not there in 2-3 minutes. I'll just test again later in a few days.

Not that this has ever happened to me, but if I did see a line appear a few hours later, I would test again the next day to make sure the line is there within a few minutes. It should get darker each day (assuming similar concentration of urine) so if there is any uncertainty, just test later.
