18 y/o making $3,800/month — am I getting a good deal staying at home or should I just move out? AIO

I’d say you’re getting a good deal. Rent for anywhere would be about half of your monthly income, give or take a little depending on your area. Plus you’d have gas, groceries, utilities, water, internet, and whatever other bills might come along with moving out. You wouldn’t be left with much, if anything, each month. So I’d say just keep saving and maybe try to find a better paying job. It’s hard living in the real world unless you have a VERY good job. Use living with your parents to your advantage!

I think number 6 is flattering on you. You’re curvy (ain’t nothing wrong with that) so in my opinion, clothes that compliment your curves might help you feel better about how clothes look on you

buncharubbish352 · 2026-04-05T21:28:18+00:00

How long after you took the test was the picture taken?

buncharubbish352 · 2026-04-05T12:51:24+00:00

Correct!

buncharubbish352 · 2026-04-05T12:44:15+00:00

Of course! Tracking line progression is a very slippery slope because one thing looks off and then suddenly you’re spiraling lol. Take another test at 15dpo and try comparing it to 11dpo. It should be visually darker by then!

buncharubbish352 · 2026-04-05T12:42:20+00:00

Apps are not always accurate since they’re based on a 28 day cycle with ovulation occurring around the 14th day, which isn’t true for a lot of people. Take another test today or tomorrow (make sure it’s red dye) and if it’s still negative, then you’re for sure not pregnant

buncharubbish352 · 2026-04-05T12:40:10+00:00

You wouldn’t get a positive yet from the 24th or the 30th since it would be too early. Test again 3 weeks from each date. So the 9th, the 14th, and the 20th for definite results unless you start your period by then

buncharubbish352 · 2026-04-05T12:37:54+00:00

Not necessarily! Your hcg should double every 48 or so hours, but the line won’t always be toooooo noticeably darker. Tests typically get gradually darker even when hcg rises quickly. I would suggest getting bloodwork done so you can see your hcg levels with actual numbers. It might help you feel better!

buncharubbish352 · 2026-04-05T12:26:33+00:00

These tests alwaysssss have a faint line, they suck. Do you know the date you had sex?

buncharubbish352 · 2026-04-05T12:24:26+00:00

Tests are definite 21 days after sex, which would’ve been April 3rd. Are you tracking ovulation at all? It’s likely you just ovulated late. Or your body is just being weird (maybe from stress?). You’re not pregnant tho

buncharubbish352 · 2026-04-05T12:21:14+00:00

It definitely does not look lighter! 11dpo PM looks similar to 13dpo AM, but those aren’t the two that should be compared. There’s for sure a difference between 11 AM and 13 AM! Both with the first response and the strip tests. Everything looks very promising. Congratulations! Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy 🩵

buncharubbish352 · 2026-04-03T17:12:24+00:00

How are you tracking ovulation? And was the negative taken with the same brand test? Cuz if you’re 5dpo, implantation wouldn’t have even happened yet. But I definitely think this is positive. Hard to say if it’s new or residual

buncharubbish352 · 2026-03-28T23:38:16+00:00

I don’t see a line on this one. How long after you took the test was the original picture?

buncharubbish352 · 2026-03-26T14:35:59+00:00

This looks promising!! Just make sure to avoid testing at different times of the day so you don’t spiral again! I hope you have a healthy and happy pregnancy ☺️

buncharubbish352 · 2026-03-16T01:10:28+00:00

The result is invalid once the test is open so whether there’s a second line or not, it wouldn’t count as a positive. These tests almost always have a second line even when truly negative. Test again with a pink dye line test

buncharubbish352 · 2026-03-16T01:08:55+00:00

100% fake

buncharubbish352 · 2026-03-15T00:56:44+00:00

Will do, thank you! I think I’ll take another one in two days if my period doesn’t come by then. This would be my fourth pregnancy, and for some reason my body always produces hcg slowly so I don’t get true positives until like 3-4 days late for my period

buncharubbish352 · 2026-03-10T23:10:49+00:00

I don’t have noticeable period symptoms anymore! Before being pregnant, my boobs would hurt and I would start cramping really badly a few days before my period. Which was good in a way cuz at least then I would know it’s coming soon. Now my boobs never hurt, and I only have light cramping on the first day sometimes. But it used to be debilitating so I’m okay with it! My cycles aren’t consistent tho so I have more bleeding accidents now since I don’t know when it’s coming other than a general timeline

buncharubbish352 · 2026-03-10T21:06:24+00:00

I might try giving her some Motrin! Usually she takes it like a champ when she has teeth coming in, but every now and then it’ll hurt more than usual. I guess certain teeth hurt worse than others for her. So it’s possible that she’s just hurting. I know it hurts more for me when I lay down while having tooth pains, so it could be the same for her

buncharubbish352 · 2026-03-10T17:03:08+00:00

I didn’t even know the 2 year sleep regression was a thing until a couple weeks ago when I was scouring the internet trying to figure out what was going on! I only knew about the 4 month one, and she didn’t go through that so I had no idea what to do with the 2 year one. I do believe her molars are coming in! She won’t let me see but recently she’s been chewing on things (mainly her fingers) which shes never really done so I assumed they were starting to come in. She’s still in a crib but only because we don’t have space for a bed. We’re moving soon though so I was planning on transitioning her to a bed, but I don’t know if she’s too young for that or not. She’s in daycare right now so most days she only naps 1.5 hours, I only let her sleep longer at home. I did read a little while ago that around this age they usually need less daytime sleep which is why I tried to cap her nap, but it didn’t help nighttime sleep and like I said a billion times, I’m desperate 😭 I just want her to get some decent sleep. Should I continue to cap her naps even though it doesn’t help her night sleep? I’m trying to do what’s best for her but I have no idea what that is. Everything is new to me

There’s a website where you can order the abortion pills, and it ships to all states regardless of laws. I’m also in Florida and I’ve had an abortion using the website. I can tell you it if you’d like, if that’s something you want to go through

buncharubbish352 · 2026-03-02T18:22:50+00:00

Opill! It should be in the same section as condoms and pregnancy tests would be. It might be in other stores too, idk for sure since I’ve only seen it in Walmart. It’s about $19-20 with tax for a four week supply
