Oh good lord!

Im sorry Krissy. I didn't want you to think that I either didn't see your post or that I was ignoring you. I didn't mean to be rude with my response.
Blog
And in answer to you question. Yes. I tested. Thank you again for asking.
Blog
Ah, gosh, you're killing me. You aren't going to tell us what the result was?
Wouldnt you be a little uncomfortable giving out information when there is some fruit loop that feels the need to creat an AE (or 3) and the only time they posted was to attack you?
Blog
Nope that doesn't bother me. You do.

Sorry Lena, but I've been following the drama and have kept my mouth shut so far, but I have to agree with Cole and Krissy here. You came on seeking advice, kinda dangled it, left everyone hanging, and then now are all tight lipped. It just makes it seem that the test was positive and now you're worried about what others are going to think. If it were negative, what's the big deal in saying "yeah I tested, it's negative," and move on? AE out there or not, I don't see how that is giving out too much info...
I said I was gagging while brushing my teeth...... Everyone else told me to take a test. That was it. I didn't ask advice about this. Laura told me that the cramps I was having could be an early pg sign. I appreciate the advice on here and I consider you guys my friends.
Has it crossed anyone's mind that maybe my husband and I would like to keep this to ourselves for a little while? I didn't mean to "dangle" anything in front of anyone. I simply said I couldnt brush my teeth.
This has gotten so out of hand and I'm actually surprised. Everyone on here posts a PB post to "come out" yet im being asked to give this information out to the world right now. Yes, I've asked for advice on very personal and detailed information in the past without going to the private board but seeing as how I didn't come on the next day and tell everyone weather I tested or not should have warranted a little more privacy.
I like coming here and I like you girls and I have NEVER pressured or ridiculed any of you over anything.
Yvonne - this isn't aimed at you personally. You're jus who I quoted.

Well I hope your husband can give up his Starbucks addiction so you're able to afford diapers for your baby.
I guess I deserved that comment for giving out too much information and asking for advice.
Lesson learned. Thanks.

Lena, don't feel judged here... I don't know how the other girls feel exactly, but your finances and when you choose to do things are your business...
There have been the person or two in the past who I (each of us, I'm sure) didnt agree with the way they made life choices, but it's not any of our business and I've seen that sentiment echoed around here many times. I think everyone is just kinda interested to see if we're gonna have another July baby! Pregnancies are exciting!
Of course, the AE's would make me uncomfortable too, and that's what the private board is there for.
ETA: not that I meant I disagree with your life choices
I just meant it in the context of our dear AEs and that you shouldn't feel judged by everyone here.
Thank you. I really appreciate it.

I'm just gonna throw my two cents in..take it of leave it.
Personally, I think that you came here and asked our opinions and said you wanted to test but didn't want to get a negative. Then just never came back to tell us whether you got a positive or not. (Myself-I think you answered the question already by saying you and your husband want to keep it to yourselves.) Am I curious? Yes-but like I said, I think you already answered it. However, it's up to you when you tell people.come here
My only thought on the whole thing is that now you're pulling the "keeping it between you and your husband" card which is cool, but you told the board all of these things about your finances and how you thought you were pregnant and this and that and now you're wanting to be all hush-hush. Come on girl, you have to know people are a) going to have opinions (which is very obvious! hahaha) and b) going to be curious how the testing fares out.
I think to not tell people is your own business like I said, but you also shouldn't be all that surprised at how people are handling it. Granted, I get what you're saying about the AEs but once again, you put everything out there regarding personal information without thinking about it..now people are hiding with anonymity and you don't want to post? Who cares? When you posted about the finances part of it it was a public board just as it is now...AEs or not every one could read it.
That is a long winded way of me saying that of course I'm curious but it's up to you when you tell people. And I, for one, am not all that shocked that people are handling things the way they are reacting to it.
Just my opinion....no AE needed here.
But you didn't think saying you were not so careful during your possible fertile time, and then coming here saying you're gagging when brushing your teeth and having other possible symptoms is going to lead people to tell you to test and then wonder about the outcome after you said you were going to? Come on, you've been around here long enough. I'm not saying you were fishing for people to tell you you may be pregnant, but I'm sure you could have put two and two together.
Not everyone posts their news on the private board, only those wanting to keep things private. There are many that have publicly said they're TTC and have announced their pregnancies here on the public board. Others that have wanted to keep it on the DL have just announced on the private board to keep things private. The whole thing is, you didn't keep it private, you publicly talked about your personal life and now you're getting flack for it, which I don't know if it's warranted or not, but nonetheless this is a public forum.
I have to agree with Kari, I think its pretty clear you've already answered with the way you're handling things. More power to you.
Just my own opinion, and no AE needed...
I've been avoiding posts because I don't really want to buy into the drama. I think it is easy to blame the AEs for perpetuating drama, but really this whole thing, Lena, has been nothing more than you being a giant AW. I'm going to attribute it to hormones and shock and give you a pass on this one. When you have some time to reflect, maybe you'll understand how we all feel about this whole song and dance number you've pulled.

Im an attention whore? Lol I'm sorry I didn't realize I've been one, at least not more than anyone else is on here. I'm not blaming (or didn mean to) anyone. I dont appreciate the AE but that's obviously not the only reason I didn't respond. The only reason I responded to Krissy at all was to not be rude I had no idea it would back fire on me and make people think I was looking for attention.
I still don't see how I'm a "giant AW" though. And your going to "give me a pass on this one?" ok? Thanks?
Kari and Yvonne - thank you for your responses. Note taken. Like I said already, it was my fault for putting information out there. Ill know to be more careful now. I know ppl are curious. I'm not holding that against anyone.
Sarah - um. Well I don't really know what to say right now. I'm sorry.
Im done for the day. Or rather all together. This is getting frustrating. I'm sorry I upset everyone so much. Defiantly not my intention, im the nerd that prefers rainbows and puppy dogs and *NOT* issues and arguments. But it seems I've brought it upon myself and again I'm sorry for any drama.

Well, before you GBCN, let me take this chance to say congratulations and I wish you the best.
We are/were in no place financially to have a baby by many people's terms and we've made it work. Best wishes.
