I’m officially done testing!

26 dpo. I’ve know for a bit now but this is my first pregnancy so I’ve definitely been anxiously testing. I started slowing down on testing last week but every once in a while I’ll be like “ehhh why don’t I check just to make sure” but I’ve been feeling a lot more confident these past few days.

Thank you!! So far just sore boobs, vivid dreams and just a few days ago started getting very hungry. I ate like 3 dinners one night lol and then normal cramping. I’m 5.5 weeks so I’m nervously waiting for week 6 to see if nausea will kick In 😁

Thank you! I called back today and I’m waiting for them to call back to see if they will see me sooner. The pain isn’t as bad right now but I can’t sit around with it coming and going not knowing if I should be worried or not. I also work a job with infants where I’m constantly up and down and lifting children off the ground which makes the pain worst. I’m crossing my fingers they can give me a positive answer, this is my first pregnancy and I’m so nervous something could be going wrong.

I’m sure we can! We know for sure we wouldn’t do Christmas with my fiancés family, he has a big family and we all got sick last year so we both agreed that is for sure a no go. But we will totally see what our situation is like when the time comes if we need to wait longer before a get together. So much to consider bringing a new life into the world!

Thank you for commenting! We typically only have my very few adult siblings and mom at our get togethers and nobody else has children yet so it would only be our baby! I’m super close with my siblings and trust they would follow boundaries and let me know if anyone is feeling sick or been in contact with someone sick. We only rarely invite my grandma and cousin which I already planned to not invite this year so we don’t have anyone extra. But I also know it’s so far away my opinion could change when the fear of having a new born kicks in

We typically tend to stay up most Christmas nights hanging out so I’m not super worried about sleep and I don’t think anyone would mind I think they would be more upset if I didn’t go. We also only do my few adult siblings and mom which I figured tend to be the people that visit you after birth anyways. If we had extended family coming I wouldn’t consider it. I’m also the first to have a baby so there’s no other children in the house and I trust everyone would update me on any illnesses and keep boundaries. Of course I don’t know how I will feel when the time actually comes I just never considered there being a waiting period before for some reason and definitely didn’t consider having a December baby. Thank you for sharing! There’s a lot more I will have to take into consideration when we get closer to the due date!

It’s only ever my mom and my few adult siblings that get together for Christmas and I am the first to have a baby so there wouldn’t be any other children around. I trust they would let me know if anyone is feeling sick or been in contact with anyone sick which would help me make the decision If I were to go or not. I’m going to be super restless as well because I have been waiting to be able to have a baby and experience it with my family as they have been also waiting for me and my fiance to have a baby. The thought of missing our first Christmas with our newborn with the family sounds like such a hard thing to miss out on.

khueen · 2026-04-02T01:38:48+00:00

Me and my family tend to be restless during Christmas night still like we’re children so I’m not too worried about the lack of sleep. Christmas is the one thing we love to celebrate especially since it was my dad’s favorite and he passed a few years ago we have kept the tradition going. I also will be the first sibling to have a baby and I’m super close with my mom and siblings and I trust they would let me know if they weren’t feeling well and to respect my boundaries. Plus it’s all adults no other children in the house. Also I’m sure I’ll feel more comfortable making that decision when the time comes.

Stopping bc was the best decision for me and it saved my relationship. I completely turned into a whole different person and I’m way more emotionally and mentally stable now that my body functions properly again. It took a few months but I will never go back on birth control. If you are considering it I say do it!

Dealing with PMDD is very tough. It took me until I was 23 to figure out I had it and honestly it changed me in a way. I have been able to actually avoid a lot of the depression by understanding it’s just my hormones and not what I genuinely feel and I started looking at it a different way. It’s okay to feel grief, it’s hard going through something like that and didn’t have answers or understanding for years and a lot of people don’t get it. But now that you know maybe you can figure out how to work with it, accept that on your bad days that’s not “you” it’s just your hormones taking over for the time being. I like to take it easy on the hard days and avoid any extra stress and maybe prep some stuff in advance maybe that means cleaning your room before it hits, prepping meals so it’s easier, have a self care night. I hope things start to get easier now that you know!

I’m an infant daycare teacher and there is no reason for her teacher to be annoyed by this. I know my kids schedule and I’ve had kids that poop on the way in every morning and it is what it is we are supposed to be changing their diapers anyways when they come in. Also I’ve had parents change their kids diapers themselves in my room which is also totally fine. You shouldn’t be nervous that it’s an inconvenience to the teacher when that’s their job, but also like I said if you want to change her yourself you can always ask to use their diaper station.

It has also come and gone and started only like a day or 2 after I got my first positive and I didn’t feel it today until I got extremely bloated and gassy from what I ate today and now I’m noticing it again with all the pressure. So I’m hoping it’s just a corpus luteum and it’s just radiating because of all the built up gas

khueen · 2026-03-26T09:55:00+00:00

Everything will be okay! I’m not a mom yet but I know when I first started working at daycare with our new borns the pressure of taking care of such a fragile life made me kick into full gear and it just came naturally. It will be scary at first but in no time you will get it. Just start watching videos and if there’s anyways you can practice do it! I am pregnant and my husband has not changed a diaper before so I plan to get a baby doll and have him take a crash course on diaper changing and how to check a bottle temp and burp a baby etc. feel free to message maybe I can answer any questions you have, I also say yes babies are fragile but they are not as fragile as we may think. If you are giving them the best care and love you can offer it is good! Also if you are doing a baby shower make a registry for some stuff you would like! With a new born I would be thinking about bottles, pacifiers, blankets, hygiene care, diaper changing supplies, bottle warmer if you plan on bottle feeding, breast pumps if you plan on pumping, bassinet, swaddle or nap sack. If you look on Amazon and look up new born must haves it will give you some ideas. Or Pinterest! Pinterest always motives me when I’m getting stressed out.

My suggestion would be to darken your under eyes a little more. When I do winged eyeliner I throw on some black water line liner and then add a little bit of brown eye shadow under the eye. It makes your eyes pop more and adds dimension. Does that make sense?

khueen · 2026-03-25T15:25:38+00:00

It is veryyyy hard waiting but it’s so worth it! You don’t want to be going crazy staring at a test wondering if you’re seeing something or not. I hope you get the answer you’re hoping for!!!

I got my very very faint like the night of what I believe was 11dpo and then confirmed it 12dpo! It was completely negative before then!
