This group is for general pregnancy discussion. For more specific forums, please see our sister app, Baby Bump.
Group Activity
Alt12, the makers of Pink Pad, have another app all about Pregnancy called Baby Bump. Baby Bump's forums are detailed and have sub-groups for all sorts of questions and situations.
Baby Bump as an application also has free and pro versions, just like Pink Pad, and the community feature is built into both versions of the app. Your login id will be the same for both applications.
For those TTC or who have recently graduated from the TTC forum, you will be happy to note that the TTC Group on Pink Pad is shared with Baby Bump. You can access that specific community from either application.

If you are reading this post, you may be wondering if you are pregnant. There is no way for this group to answer that question for you.
The only ways for you to have that question answered accurately are to take either a home pregnancy test or a test at your doctor's office, or to wait 9 months and see if you give birth.
If you have not yet taken a pregnancy test, that should be your first step before posting to this forum. Home pregnancy tests can be purchased at discount stores, grocery stores, dollar stores, pharmacies, etc. You do not need a prescription or parent permission to buy them. They are usually not kept locked up, so you will not need to ask a stock person for help, although this policy can differ from town to town and store to store. They can usually be found in the feminine products area of the store.
Home pregnancy tests rely on the same chemical test to produce results. The difference in price comes from the marketing, packaging, and amount of complicated technology to display the results. A low-cost test will produce the same accurate result of a high-cost test.
If you are posting to this forum with pregnancy symptom questions because of fantasy or wishful thinking, please be aware that you are trivializing the women who are members of this forum who are currently pregnant and going through a very serious stage of their lives.
If you would like to know more about your pregnancy, you might like our sister app, BabyBump. BabyBump is available in both free and pro versions and contains information for pregnancy updates and tracking, as well as extensive Community component similar to Pink Pad's.
In the Community feature of BabyBump, there is a forum set aside specifically for Creative Writing called Teen Poetry that can be a great outlet for exploring alternate realities and fantasies.
Once again - no one can tell over a forum community if you are pregnant or not. If you have this question, please take real world steps to find out the answer before joining this group.
Thank you for reading this very long message :)
Best wishes,

Update:
Some long-time members of this forum have asked if they can flag "Am I Pregnant" posts. The answer is no, as posting this question is within the Terms of Use.
It may see silly to you that someone is asking this question on a forum, but that doesn't mean that the question is out-of-line or unacceptable. I am sure we have all had moments in our past where we didn't know what was happening or going to happen, and talking or thinking over the possibilities was the first step we took before learning what path the future was going to take.
Pink Pad is designed to be a supportive place for women to talk with each other about some of the most important aspects of their lives.
If you see a post you don't like but does not break one of the clauses of the Terms of Use, you can choose to either helpfully answer the question, ignore the post, or make use of the Ignore User feature.
Ridiculing or mocking another member of these forums is not an option, nor is flagging to "make a post go away."
Thank you for doing your part to make this forum a great place to be.

And what time is it??
