  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Please pray for my wife and I.

So I honestly think the moment is finally here. After nearly a decade of trying I think God is finally giving my wife and I the baby the we've been asking for. The problem? My wife doesn't think so. But, she's been having tons of food cravings lately. Everyday except for last night withing the past 6-7 days she's been sleeping at least 10-12 hours a day and oftentimes crashing between 4:30 and 5:30. She's been getting cramps that feel like pressure over the past 3-4 days I asked her on discord if shes still experiencing them today but she just got to work and is working and will answer me on her 15 minute break. But.. yeah... She's also been extremely hormonal and her breasts have been tender. Honestly there are a lot of signs that are beyond her usual.

The problem? She's tested twice now and both have come back negative so now she's convinced shes not pregnant and I don't want to put her through more negatives. She told me to wait until her period and I'm agreeing to that but she doesn't believe me that she ovulated on the 21st and that her period is actually due in tomorrow through the 6th. So the next day we're planning to test (the 7th) is actually a day after her expected period anyway. I mean... I kind of just want to get a blood test and find out once and for all but she doesn't want to pay $45 for one and definitively find out because she believes she isn't pregnant.


But I told her her cramps are likely implantation cramps and if she implanted yesterday or the day before today is likely going to be negative. And if she implanted today or is going to implant today it explains the negative and if she's going to implant tomorrow not even the best of tests are going to detect that. You can't detect a baby that doesn't exist yet. But, she also could be right and she's not pregnant and I'm wrong.

Either or? We need prayers. I've been praying nonstop for this baby for the last decade and the fact that I think that its here is just frustrating when my wife doesn't believe the same and I keep putting her through all of these negatives. It makes me want to stop trying so that I stop putting her through pain. I wish I could convince her into getting a blood test so that I can completely take the bandaid off without it hurting....

Chill, and be patient. Skip the blood test. Wait until she misses a period. I will be praying for both of you.


Actually we found a Christian pro life free testing center very close to us within less than a hours drive away. I texted them and they're going to give her a free medical grade urine test on the 13th in the afternoon and an ultrasound on the afternoon of the 20th that's scheduled for if she tests positive.

I'm done with making her take these cheap at home pregnancy texts that are super inaccurate and she likely implanted at the end of the day yesterday they said and we last tested yesterday morning so of course it was negative. A pregnancy test can't detect a baby who hasn't implanted yet no matter how "accurate" it is. And we did pretty much wait for her period. It's supposed to be due today and these first response generic tests are supposed to be virtually 99% accurate the day before your missed period. But the box doesn't take implantation into account...

So they said they'll just schedule the medical grade urine test for 20 days after the very last possible day conception could have happened that should tell us something. If it doesn't they said they'll give us another test a week or two later.
