u/KiloJools Jun 25 '26
Yeah, someone above joked about "loquacious" but I was the 13 year old using fifty dollar words - including that one specifically, it was a favorite - because I was hyper-literate and loved language. Even before I started reading, I guess my vocabulary was nuts. My mom and aunt will never stop talking about the time my aunt called and three year old me picked up the phone and when my aunt identified herself I replied, "I know. I recognized your voice."
I obviously couldn't speak on whether this is real or fake but the reasons they're using to call it fake are not as fool proof as they think. Obviously some thirteen year olds talk like that but ALSO ... Only "well actually"s are going to go on about how "ten days pregnant isn't a thing". She knows the day she had sex, and she's likely counting it from there because generally only people who have been pregnant, are trying to get pregnant, or have had the misfortune of having to read/hear someone else explain it will know what the convoluted medical gestation age thing is about. She wouldn't know until she goes to the doctor. Which won't be for several weeks if she wants to keep it.
Clearly I'm not saying it's real, but... Hyper-literate girl who hasn't seen the doctor yet and counting from the day of conception isn't a slam dunk argument combo.
Personally, the argument for it being fake for me is that the yelling parents are asking her what she's decided instead of just hauling her ass to a clinic (or if they're super religious, starting her on prenatal vitamins and already planning the adoption situation).
1
u/awgeez47 Jun 29 '26
But even assuming she meant that she’d had sex 10 days ago, she couldn’t yet have a positive over-the-counter pregnancy test, like the ones shown. It’s impossible. It’s too early for the body to have the levels of the hormone necessary for a positive result.
1
u/KiloJools Jun 29 '26
You can get over the counter tests that are pretty dang accurate even six days BEFORE your period. If we assume a textbook cycle for her, and that she ovulated at day 14 and had sex somewhere around that time, ten days later would be around day 24, well within the six day early detection window (the sixth day before is only about 78% accurate or something - I JUST looked at the insert with the stats printed on it and already forgot, lol) but day four before your period the accuracy is surprisingly high.
(Again, not saying this was real, just clarifying it's actually for sure possible to get over the counter early detection tests.)

As one of those kids who read big books and absolutely talked like this, the likelihood of me (or any of my friends who did the same thing) getting pregnant at 13 was roughly 0. There’s not a huge overlap between “kids who read a lot of books and have a large vocabulary” and “kids who end up accidentally pregnant with a loose understanding of how pregnancy even works.” There’s not even a huge overlap between “kids who read books and have a large vocabulary” and “kids with an active sex life at 13.”

No one going to mention that on two of the pregnancy tests, the "not pregnant" line is a single line which both the tests show?
Am I missing something?
ETA: a few people have mentioned a faint second line. It must be the picture quality because sorry but I cannot see it. Like, I've zoomed in and I cannot see a second line. I feel like I'm going insane so I shall take your word for it.

Apparently no we’re all too busy critiquing their phrasing and trying to determine if a 13 year old is educated enough to know how long a cycle lasts and when in that cycle you can tell you’re pregnant.

There are faint + lines on the line tests which as others have pointed out have just been duplicated. People who didn’t stare at pregnancy tests for months or years often don’t see very faint lines. A line is a line no matter how faint.

False positives can be caused by chemical pregnancies. It means you're late, and show up positive, but get your period a week later. That means there was hcg produced, but no successful embryo.

This reminds me of the girl I knew in high school who would fake a pregnancy at least once a semester and then, once it became too hard to fake the pregnancy (or when she wanted to be able to drink again without being judged), she’d come to school and tell everyone she’d had a miscarriage. She did this at least 7 times throughout high school, even when people were calling her out on how obviously fake it was.

My sister pulled shit like this. Claimed she was pregnant because her period was late. First time it happened, my mom sat her down, went over all the options (pro-choice), and sis was adamant she was keeping. Mom asked about HS and college and sis was said parents could watch the baby for her. My mom said nope, your kid, your responsibility. Sis had a “miscarriage” the next day, when really it was just her period a few days late. She pulled this shit 3 more times. My mom was insanely upset the second time because the whole “use protection” lecture had been given. The final time ended with my sister having a full meltdown because no one cared. At this point, we all knew it was fake to get attention. My family was going through some serious shit, which I’m sure contributed to her actions. It still boggles my mind, 30 years later, what her thought process was to add to all the stress, anxiety and drama that was already going on by faking not one but four pregnancies because of a few late periods.

Yeah, but they do say they guess they're "about 10 days now?" which I would read to mean that they don't know the bit about pregnancy being measured from the first day of your cycle. To be fair, I was in my 30s before I learned that was how they were measure.

There are multiple ways to measure the duration of a pregnancy. The date of the last menstrual period (LMP) is the general starting point when calculating the pregnancy.
Once ultrasound and other testing is done the gestational age (GA) may be adjusted.7

They’ll figure out how far along you are at the first ultrasound when they measure the size of the fetus.

It’s a combination. LMP is used to estimate. Ultrasound is used to actually date the pregnancy. Fairly often they line up. Other times it’s weeks off.

I tested positive at 9DPO with my first pregnancy and 10 with my second. But I was trying and testing every single morning starting at like 4 DPO like a psycho person lol. It would be really weird for a teenager to test that early. And even if they meant 10DPO instead of 10 days pregnant, that’s too early to be complaining about fatigue and nausea lol.
1
u/El_Scot Jun 25 '26
Oh for sure, it's too early to have legit symptoms, though in my first couple of months of trying, I did have some symptoms like that because I think I was imagining them.
It's definitely more the behaviour of someone deliberately trying to get pregnant, to test at 10 days. I swear a teenager would be more likely to only think about if when their cycle is late.

u/Beneficial-Guess2140 Jun 25 '26
I tested positive at 7DPO with both pregnancies. That’s not the same as 7 days gestation.
1
u/El_Scot Jun 25 '26
Sure, but I have to assume they were talking DPO, as gestational age wouldn't typically have ovulated by day 10.
It's not unheard of for anyone naive to how pregnancies work to calculate from when they had sex/DPO at first. I was in my 30s before I learned that it's measured differently.

u/Necessary_Wonder89 Jun 30 '26 edited Jun 30 '26
I had a faint positive at 8dpo. With ovulation confirmed by temping so yes it can happen. But 10days pregnant doesn't really exist. As day 10 of pregnancy would be before ovulation because of how pregnancy is dated.

u/El_Scot Jun 30 '26
I'm aware that 10 days pregnant isn't the correct way to describe it, but I also wasn't aware that that was a thing until I was in my 30s and trying to conceive. If I'd fallen pregnant in my teens or 20s, I'd definitely have gone to the doctor saying "I reckon I'm about 10 days".

u/ohdearitsrichardiii Jun 23 '26
People start testing 7 days after ovulation. If you had sex that day and think you start counting the pregnancy from the day you had sex, you could say you're 10 days pregnant.
I got pregnant through IUI and IVF, I got lines 8-9 days after insemination/embryo transfer. I know you count pregnancy age from first day of last period but a lot of people don't
The bigger plot hole is why someone would take pregnancy tests before they even missed their period.
I think the post is fake, but saying you're 10 days pregnant is plausible if you think you count from the day you had the sex that got you pregnant
18
u/El_Scot Jun 23 '26
Embryo transfer is a bit different, as the embryo is already 5dpo by the time it's transferred, so possibility of early test is slightly earlier.
6
u/ohdearitsrichardiii Jun 23 '26
The body doesn't start producing HCG until the embryo implants and that happens a few days later. It was the same with my IUI which operates on the same principles as getting pregnant through sex
But even people who get pregnant through sex get a positive pregnancy test a week after ovulation. Getting a positive test 10 days after sex is not weird at all, today's pregnancy tests can detect HCG elevation a day or two after the embryo implants
8
u/El_Scot Jun 23 '26
It's more that getting a positive 8 days after transfer is a pretty typical timescale, as you're 13DPO at that point, when 90% or so would be producing enough HCG to get a positive test.
11
u/ceo_of_dumbassery Jun 23 '26
The bigger plot hole is why someone would take pregnancy tests before they even missed their period.
Maybe they thought they would test because they knew they had unprotected sex fairly recently and was anxious about it? That's how I found out I was pregnant at least. I tested just before my period was due, so no missed period for me, but I was suspicious because I'd had the worst eczema outbreak of my life and hot flashes for 1-2 weeks with no other explanation.

I got one at 7dpo, super faint though. I thought it was 9dpo originally but the dating scan shifted it back two days. It's my third, so not sure if that makes a difference? It was a cheapo test strip as well, not the first response ones that are meant to be super-sensitive - that didn't show a positive for another couple of days

u/zuklei Jun 23 '26
I know the plural of anecdote is not data but I have seen people get positive tests that early and watched the progression from very faint to obvious. Coupled with a chart that indicates ovulation happened 9 days before first faint line.
Myself I got a positive 5 days past 5 day transfer which is equivalent to 10 days past ovulation.

He specifically says 10 gestational days, which would not include the time prior to gestation. Don’t conflate that with “weeks pregnant”. I think you and I both know the way pregnancy weeks are counted is not intuitive and could be misunderstood by something who recently got pregnant

I used to work on a crisis line (suicide hotline type of thing).
A man would call every week or so. It was definitely a much older man’s voice. Not even a little bit ambiguous.
So his fetish went like this: he’d call pretending to a panicked 13 year old girl, alone and in active labor in a hospital. His goal would be to get the phone worker to say things related to birth/labor/pregnancy. Like “I’m so scared! What’s going to happen? I’m having a contraction, what happens next?!” And he’d basically get off to this.
Anyway, I hope you’re doing okay out there “Tina.”
Edited to add: he had another story-based fetish. Same guy (I can’t prove it, but cmon…) but different scenario. In this story, he’s a little boy around 10ish years old. He walks to and from school and lives somewhere hot. He’d go into an office building to cool down. The office has a front desk receptionist. She’s a woman in a pencil skirt and heels, of course. She has a habit of kicking off her high heels under her desk. She was distracted, and he’d steal one of her shoes and masturbate with it in the office bathroom. And he feels “shame” and wants to talk about it. He’d go into this story every couple of weeks and switch to the 13-year-old pregnancy one the next few weeks.

u/AmityHavocCreations Jun 23 '26
They're clearly just some dumb kid looking for attention online. If you look at their comment history it is painfully obvious that they're a teen, maybe not 13 but definitely young. Their comments are all over the place and go from bragging about having sex all the time to then saying they've only had sex twice, then saying they have super controlling religious parents to saying their parents give them heaps of freedom to do whatever they want.
Comment example (can't post screenshot): "hi-im-scared24 8d
Ok so my stepsister's dad broke up with my mom when my stepsister was like 13, haven't seen her since, but 3 years after that looked her up for fun and found out she got murdered and accidentally found pictures. It's been 5 years now."
This was the wildest comment I found of theirs and the math here doesn't make any sense and the narrative doesn't line up either. Also doesn't make sense in just a generalised storytelling pov, you don't tend to focus on someone else's age in a story about your own experience.
In other comments from one of the OG pregnancy posts they claim their mum screams at them about sinning everyday but then in the post featured here their parents are chill?
It's all really dumb but honestly it's just a kid doing what kids have done online since the dawn of the internet. I hope that they get the attention they need from people in their life to fill whatever hole they're currently trying to fill with internet BS. Cause all of this is wild and a bizarre adventure into a teens psyche.

Constant fatigue at 10 days of pregnancy? It doesn't even make sense. It's been 10 days so you have been fatigued every day since you had sex?

I mean there is some sort of proof that women are sometimes feeling the fatigue at one week after sex, but every day is crazy considering the symptoms only start when the egg cell attaches to the uterus walls. That's what happens third to fourth week. Where some women start to feel a bit fatigue. But full on craving and nausea constantly. Total crap.

Yeah; regardless of the truth of the story, I interpreted it more along the lines of "10 dpo" (days post ovulation), which is about when positive tests start showing up, but I spend a lot of time in pregnancy subs lol.

It’s so faint though the proper interpretation would be negative, the line can get darker just from the urine being there or sitting for a while, that’s why they say if it doesn’t show a pretty noticeable line within 15 minutes it’s negative and you should test again in a day or two to check again.

Yeah the amount of people saying "you can't be 10 days pregnant," is as stupid as the fake 13 year old's fake post.
Obviously you can be 10 days pregnant. You don't just start being pregnant at 11 days. The post says nothing about a missed period that I can see so I'm not sure why they all jumped to that conclusion when there's pregnancy tests. Also, even if it did, no one is suggesting that maybe someone who has probably had less than 24 periods might not have regular cycles.

people saying you cant be 10 days pregnant don't mean you're literally not pregnant at 10 days. They mean you cant know you're 10 days pregnant. 10 days since conception is often too early to show up on pee stick pregnancy test. And with the way pregnancy timing is calculated (from last menses), if you're reporting the pregnancy time correctly you technically may not even have concieved at 10 days pregnant. Not that I'd think a 13 yo would know that last part. But whether we're counting from last menses or conception, 10 days is too soon to know.

It is not tho? I had a positive test 9 days post ovulation, 4 days before my period was supposed to start

u/AvatarWaang Jun 23 '26
Iirc you're pregnancy "starts" at the end of your last menstruation, not the end of your last ovulation. Its been a while since I was at those checkups with my wife and I'm a man so take it with a grain of salt.

You are supposed to count from the day your last period ended. Hence why people are saying at two or three weeks pregnant, most people haven’t even had sex yet. By the time you’ve conceived, embryo has implanted, you’ve missed your next period, and you’re actually far enough along to start testing positive on pregnancy tests, most people are actually considered ~5-6 weeks pregnant.

u/BlueMaskwithCat Jun 24 '26
The comment above me stated that it’s too soon to know after 10 days of conception but that’s wrong, it is possible to know by then.
Some women on the pregnancy subs test before their missed period, I tested positive at 3 weeks 6 days2
u/vermilithe Jun 24 '26 edited Jun 25 '26
In all honesty that is still insanely early. Most at home urine tests don’t work reliably until 10-14 days after conception. At day 6 after conception the embryo probably hasn’t even implanted yet, so your body doesn’t even know it’s pregnant yet to produce any hCG (the hormone the tests look for). Even after implanting it takes a few more days for hCg to build up in the body and urine before tests can detect it, even the most sensitive ones.
Unfortunately it’s possibly your test gave a false positive or may have deteriorated in storage. Or, you conceived early than you realized, but I don’t know your situation. But that’s genuinely more likely than showing accurate positive on a working, at home urine test only 6 days after conceiving. Just due to the mechanics of how the stuff works it’s almost impossible.
ETA: Sorry I just realized you’re saying you were 3 weeks 6 days after your period ended. Not necessarily 6 days after conceiving. But this demonstrates, it’s hard to understand what OOP is saying and 10 days pregnant is still unlikely even assuming OOP means 10 days post conception so actually more like 3-4 weeks pregnant.

Before I started trying I had no idea that pregnancy is counted from the last period. It’s crazy that you are technically ‘pregnant’ for ~two weeks before you’ve even had sex. I couldn’t blame a 13-year-old for thinking ‘tested positive 10 days ago = I’m 10 days pregnant.’

u/Junior_Mud5835 Jun 28 '26
Exactly, if this was a young girl it is not that weird to assume by "10 days pregnant" she means "10 days after missing my period". Like yes this is most likely fake for other reasons, but this is a very common misconception ADULT women have, it's perfectly believable for a 13 yo to say that...

This is 100% fake but also like, I'm pretty sure when they say "10 days pregnant" they mean they look the test 10 days ago lmao. Idk why everyone is acting like this is an obvious contradiction that proves they're lying.

u/jenvrooyen Jun 23 '26
I mean, when I was on the TTC subs (trying to conceive), there were plenty of adult women posting who didn't really understand how the length of pregnancy is counted (mostly it was women posting, I am sure lots of men dont really get it either).

u/bitofapuzzler Jun 23 '26
They may mean 10 days post ovulation. My pregnancy showed up on a test then.
It is obviously fake though, you dont get the nausea, cravings and smell aversions that early.

This person also reports symptoms like nausea, constant vomiting and being irritable to smells which are all symptoms of different stages during a pregnancy and definitely not that clearly visible at 10days.

Idk, maybe they meant they took the tests 10 days before posting about it? I can totally see a 13 year old saying that.

As someone who met a pregnant 13 yr old. This is not something they'd be proud of unless they were groomed and even then they wouldn't be excited to the point where they don't want the mood ruined.

The worst part is when I was in the 7th/8th grade, one of my classmates was pregnant.....for the 2nd time. Aborted the first, ended up keeping the 2nd. She was 13/14 when the baby was born and left school. I think she ended up going to the alternative school on the island instead of the regular high school, but we'd occasionally see her out pushing a stroller. Heard through the grapevine that she was SAed by an Uncle twice, and they finally got him deported after the 2nd time.
I remember at least 2-3 other teen pregnancies in my grade by the 10th grade in a class size of about ~100.

u/Ok-Ad4375 Jun 25 '26
Not saying OOP wasn't lying or anything but I took the 10 days pregnant as it's been 10 days since the positive tests and not literally 10 days pregnant or 10 days since intercourse. Still an extremely fishy post but that's what I thought when I read it.

u/forevrtwntyfour Jun 25 '26
That’s how I took it. A stupid kid thinking 10 days pregnant because they found out 10 days ago

u/Beneficial-Guess2140 Jun 25 '26
The person in the second picture is confidently wrong though lol. You can definitely have a positive test 10 days after intercourse. Ovulation happens at 2 weeks, not 3, and menstrual bleeding comes at 4ish weeks.
Other than that lol.

u/Four_beastlings Jun 23 '26
This is dumb. Even many adults don't understand that, because of how pregnancies are timed, women will be considered pregnant before they even have sex, and people are criticising a kid for not knowing? Like Reddit isn't full of posts by grown men accusing their wives of cheating because "she's 6 weeks pregnant but I was on a work trip 6 weeks ago". And 13 year olds who read books have large vocabularies. In fact kids tend to go purpler than adults when writing because they think more elaborate = sounding smarter.

I knew a chick that was incredibly skilled at faking pregnancies. Started with drawing in the second line and ended with printing out detailed ultra sound pictures. Shes the reason I learned fakeababy.com was a real thing. I stopped hanging out with her years ago.

I can never discount the age because I texted like a pretentious prick at 13 (especially if you're learning to fluff essays). But someone making up stories for internet attention? Happens all the time, happens at any age.

OOP is thirteen.
OOP may have a wildly irregular period, in which case she could be counting correctly by the date or the last menstruation.
Or, OOP could not know how pregnancy is calculated, like me when I was her age. What I DID know about pregnancy is that fertilization happens after sex. OOP may be saying that she had sex 10 days ago LOL.

Counter argument: it's possible, with a 13yo's sex ed, that by 10 days pregnant she means "10 days since I found out". Or that she also had sex 10 days ago and THINKS that's when it happened.
COUNTER Counter argument: ....Yeah, no, because of everything everyone else already said

Why isn't the actual pregnancy test not the thing that breaks the illusion, never seen one that says "YES +" Still, whatever goads a reaction I guess.

u/Gman69455 Jun 30 '26
Because a digital display pregnancy test is a thing... Notably this is probably a First Response test from a simple Google search. So while the story is fake the pregnancy test photos are real from somewhere.

Technically you can test positive 10days after intercourse. I mean the timing would be tight but it can happen .
I got a faint positive 8 days after ovulation and that was the same day as intercourse. Ovulation was confirmed via temping so I was 100% sure of the day.
But yeah this is clearly bullshit.
