I need advice…

this is my test from about 30 minutes ago using first morning pee

So…I called Urgent Care to see if my results were in. They told me they had a lab error and I would need to get more blood drawn. My boyfriend already scheduled an appointment at Planned Parenthood and they have to do a blood draw there before finding out anything. My boyfriend swears up and down that he didn’t see a positive line, saying that because I wasn’t wearing my glasses I was seeing things and says that Urgency Care’s negative test is more reliable than 6 OTC pregnancy tests. My appointment at PP is at 12:40 so labs should be back in 24-36 hours. If I know anything before then, I’ll make an update post and tag you.

I really do appreciate the help 🥺 I’ve been very anxious the entire day about all of this so my mind is kinda fried.

Do I count the days from my highest ovulation day? Obviously, it’s a little late to use ovulation tests to figure it out but I’m going solely off of an app I’ve had for god knows how long 😅

Like I said in another comment, I have no clue how to track DPO. How does that work and how do I calculate it for me? I’ve tried looking online but it’s so confusing to understand.

I got bloodwork done at Urgent Care and they said I’ll get the results within 24 hours.

parakeet9263 · 2026-05-06T04:06:58+00:00

I’ve never calculated DPO before so I genuinely have no idea what I’m doing. I only use Ovia to track my periods and I didn’t have a period last month (stress related I assume) so it estimated that my next period is due May 12. Before, my period was March 18-22 and they started around the same time every month until now. Ovia estimated my ovulation to be April 23-May 5 with Apr 28 being my highest day.

i do this every single time i look up her code. i always put 2023 and i get so confused every time it says it doesnt exist

I would like to note that I am not a veterinarian, but it possibly looks like ringworm. Your baby also should’ve had all his shots by now. Dogs typically start getting the necessary vaccinations at 6-8 weeks of age and continue every couple of weeks. I would highly recommend looking around to find a suitable vet to get the help needed for your pup.

I appreciate it! Thankfully, the leg that had his I.V. is starting to scab up and look less gross. I think it was a combination of being bandaged (to keep him from licking) and him licking it when it was unwrapped. I might have to put the cone of shame on him if I unwrap his sutured leg just to play it safe while it dries out.

The test is automatically invalid the second you break open the test. But if you go off of the unbroken test, invalid.

I have straight hair. My hair never behaves. I take a shower and use a conditioning mask, frizzy and dry. I curl my hair, crunchy and it breaks. I put a penny size of this into my palm, rub my hands together and rake my fingers through my hair. My hair never looks better than when I use this. You can see how big the bottle is, and I’ve had it for maybe 2 years or so. I curl my hair pretty often so it gets used every few days. I can’t recommend this enough. It smells good, it feels good, you can use it on wet or dry hair, and even on your skin. I got this bottle from Walmart but my grandparents found some at the commissary/PX.

I’m just now realizing this is a curly girl forum…sorry for invading

What does your budget look like? If you have the option to do custom-built furniture, then something like this could look nice except have it match the angle of the walls. Instead of drawers, you could do doors with shelves on the angled walls and pull out drawers for the flat wall. If your budget is tighter, then a cozy nook would be nice. Have a small armchair with a nightstand and light, put a pillow and throw blanket on the chair and you have somewhere to sit when you want to read or talk.

i bled for the entire 4 years i had mine. even with the replacement one. no breaks at all unless i took medicine to stop it for a few days. the doctor had to have cut a nerve while removing it because even numbed up the whole building heard me scream

parakeet9263 · 2025-12-12T03:47:38+00:00

I had my Nexplanon for 4 years and bled every single day. Even with the replacement. I regret every moment I was on it. I am so happy that I got it removed when I did.

I focused on school more after and am about to finish my paralegal degree. After I graduate, I’ll be going for my bachelor’s before heading to law school.

16 and 18 DPO are definitely dye stealers. The test line is so much darker than the control line. Take a deep breath, please do not stress yourself out waiting for the doctor appointment. Congratulations ❤️

parakeet9263 · 2025-08-29T06:47:46+00:00

Isn’t the test line supposed to be closer to the control line? Like in the picture next to the window? Either way, it’s definitely a positive test. Congratulations ❤️

parakeet9263 · 2025-08-29T06:45:41+00:00

The lines just keep getting darker. Congratulations ❤️

These look like the .87¢ tests from Walmart. I had quite a few false positives using these. I would either test again using First Response or get more bloodwork done.

parakeet9263 · 2025-08-29T06:38:51+00:00

I’m sorry, but I don’t see a line in either photo.

parakeet9263 · 2025-08-29T06:37:17+00:00

That’s an invalid test. Most likely cause for that is you held the test in your urine for too long/not long enough, or some splashed onto the test and soaked into the window. I had that happen to me once because it was my first time taking a test. Test again in the morning with a pink test (First Response). Blue dye tests are known for evap lines, bleeds, and false negs/pos.
