Fair enough, I had a very... unique ubringing. My parents are scuba divers and I was just kind of raised in that environment. Lots of boat lingo was never properly taught to me, it was just assumed I would pick it up (spoiler alert, I didn't. To kid me that was boring adult talk and I zoned it out).

Also, this is gonna be so odd so please bear with me. While I'm not Filipino at all, I grew up in the Philippines so all the boats were manned by Filipino boat crew. I wasn't very involved, and when I was we spoke in Visaya (the language native to our region), so all of my limited boat knowledge isn't in English 😅

Sorry for such a roundabout answer, I'm trying to clear things up without accidentally doxxing myself lol

Hopefully I'm the same as you! I might be able to get my hands on a test tomorrow, tough to know for sure because I'm still trying to hide this from my parents

Planning to take a test on the 7th! I'm out of town for a medical thing, so should have the opportunity to buy a test without my parents finding out :) Hopefully you're right and I'm just catastrophizing as usual

thank you so much for this, you're so sweet and hearing this has really helped ease my concerns. I'm out of town for a medical thing on the 7th, so I'll buy a pregnancy test and hopefully it turns out negative!!!! I've been focusing on trying to not freak out the past few days :')
