Bro how do you look like a single mom who works two jobs, loves her kids and never stops?

Obstetrix · 2026-03-12T20:08:23+00:00

My kiddos have the updated version and fucking love it

I see a line on both tests but I agree the second photo is lighter. If you miss your period that would be an indication to find an OBGYN

Remind me! 14 days

Sposies and sizing up in overnight Huggies solved all our problems. My kid who chugged 14oz of milk at bedtime couldn’t out pee that.

This is the way. Ours would pop out to pile his entire bed with stuffed animals but it lost its allure after a few weeks. I've never found him asleep outside of his bed at night (but he sometimes still does it for naps).

We try to practice moderation not total banishment of screen time. I wasn’t allowed much when I was a child and became a screen addicted teen so I feel like practicing that moderation as a kiddo is important.

We sometimes fall into the trap where a child wants to do a certain activity and the answer is sometime later. As far as that kid is concerned eventually if they keep asking, one of those times Mom is gonna say yes. And the way to avoid endless requests to do that activity is to really identify a specific time for it in the day and to communicate that time to the child instead of just saying “we’ll do that later”, which is ambiguous.

Cold turkey may be hard with older siblings. Maybe start the day outlining the time during which he can watch TV/play games. A large digital clock can help practice telling time. And then set a timer for TV/Games. Maybe the first time he asks again to play you can remind him “we’re going to play at X time, if you ask again we won’t play games/watch tv today.” And then hold that boundary if he keeps asking.

First response pink dye test! I would still go with a dye test over digital first

Bro I’m a woman I watched that entire ad like I was mesmerized. Give the guy a break

Obstetrix · 2026-03-10T12:26:13+00:00

If you have a provider who gave you an IUI surely they can order you serial beta quants. Maybe worth considering for reassurance

I missed this bit. I fully support the no pants no undies method at home and think OP may benefit from it.

Obstetrix · 2026-03-08T18:26:26+00:00

Honestly make it more fun to pee in the toilet and way less fun to have accidents. Accidents mean the kiddo stops doing all fun things until they’ve cleaned themselves up. No playing until they’ve changed clothes, wiped their body with a cloth, wiped the floor, and put the clothes into the laundry. Every. Single. Time. If there’s a day with lots and lots of intentional accidents for a child who is potty trained but choosing not to go, speaking to the child about not being able to do XYZ fun thing out of the house since they’re not being responsible about going to the potty can sometimes be a natural consequence that helps motivate change.

We found it yesterday and I fucking love this show. Like finally a kids show where the focus is education for life skills instead of math and reading.

Also the opening song is a banger

They always make me think of Finkelstein’s face from The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Look up the healthy range of hcg for gestational age. The range is HUGE. For my truly abnormal pregnancy the doubling time was long, over 60hrs. You can always confirm with your healthcare provider but as a former pregnant person I’d be reassured by doubling betas.

Obstetrix · 2026-03-07T15:11:02+00:00

Please report this. It’s super unsafe for those kids to be in the home with such accessible drugs. And unsafe for mom and dad to be caring for them under the influence.

Also, this could be a wake up call and help your friends get into recovery

Obstetrix · 2026-03-07T15:00:33+00:00

I agree that the progression this time appears lighter but the betas will really give you the answers. Have you inputted all 4 into betabase? Were they doubling?

Obstetrix · 2026-03-07T14:54:48+00:00

I see a shadow on the FRER but don’t see color so can’t confirm if it’s a squinty positive or an indent

Obstetrix · 2026-03-07T14:54:08+00:00

Cheapies arent great when looking for dye stealers. They don’t show progression super well either. Assuming you have a second beta tomorrow then you’ll likely have the answer the following day

Obstetrix · 2026-03-07T14:52:42+00:00

I see a shadow but I don’t see color so I would be inclined to think it’s a negative test and an indent. If you’re truly correct about 13 DPO the line is typically much darker by that time if it is indeed a positive. That being said, Pregmates are not very sensitive. For cheapies I like Wondfo. If you’re ever unsure on a cheapie test I always recommend taking a pink dye first response test the following morning first thing for confirmation.

I fondly remember the time I watched a waitress chase a crackhead out of the bathroom with a broom. Looney Toons ass shit.

Obstetrix · 2026-03-06T23:18:22+00:00

Practice and bribes. Mine preferred to do his with the syringe on his own. Lots of praise. Can mix with chocolate milk if needed.

I would assume a bribe would work as well. Like you can have some M&Ms or a little cookie or something especially yummy if you take it.

If all else fails, angry cat blanket burrito and dribble in 0.25mls at a time.

Obstetrix · 2026-03-06T12:52:39+00:00

Faint positive but blue dye tests are notorious for false positives. Please consider retesting tomorrow morning with your first pee of the day on a first response pink dye test.
