My weird-ass MIL thinks this question is super disrespectful, whether it's asked before she arrives or during her stay. She used to visit a few times a year and she'd never buy her return ticket before coming. She'd always buy it during her stay, and only after we brought it up like 10 days in. She'd basically stay as long as she felt like it until we kindly asked this question, and even then she'd be visibly upset over it.

I was getting a bit fed up with this and thought it was our right to know how long she'd be staying beforehand, so that we could mentally prepare for it and also plan our days in accordance with her visit. I figured it was a pretty standard boundary to have.

So the last time she let us know she'd be coming, we asked this question through text and she instantly acted like we insulted her. We tried to explain that it wasn't personal (I ask this question to my own parents as well and they're not at all offended by it) but she just made a huge deal out of it and decided not to come at all, to which we said ok, lol.

That was 4 months ago and neither of us have heard from her since. She left my last text on read. She didn't even celebrate my husband's birthday. I was pissed on his behalf and he was upset too. This is extremely immature behavior so I'm not even sure I want her back in my life after this.

Hi everyone. I really need some guidance and support right now. It's been exactly 40 days since I had my last period (it's worth noting that although my periods can be irregular at times, I don't have PCOS or endo). So 2 days ago I got my first blood test and my beta hCG was 5,73 which I know is very low considering how long it's been, but there's a chance I ovulated late and am actually very early into the pregnancy. At least that's what I thought until my second blood test today, which showed barely any increase at all. Right now hCG is 6,15.

I'm getting stressed and frustrated since based on my last period I'm supposedly 4+ weeks but I still don't even know if I'm pregnant or not. The doctor is not saying anything clear. Nothing showed up in the ultrasound and she just told me to come for another blood test in 2 days.

Going off of the info online, even if this is a pregnancy, it's either chemical or ectopic. I don't have any cramping or bleeding though, so I don't know what to think. Do I brace myself for a miscarriage, do I try to stay hopeful, or am I just not fricking pregnant? Has anyone else been through something similar? Is there even the slightest chance that this develops into a healthy pregnancy?
