Well, I am pregnant, it's already been verified, but he can't give me an official diagnosis cause he's retired. Also: anyone with eyes and a brain can see it in the ultrasounds. The only thing getting in the way is the sheeplike tendency of most humans to need someone else in authority to say something is true before…

Nope, because it is verifiably true, see literally every scientific publication that I linked to and consult the FDA, that the Hook Effect exists. Every doctor calling me not pregnant called me not pregnant BEFORE SEEING ANY ULTRASOUND BASED EXCLUSIVELY on their totally, disprovably wrong assertion that negative tests…

Good fucking Lord. That article also takes the same totally benign and explainable scientific phenomenon of cryptic pregnancy that is ACTUALLY occurring here and conflates it with something else that is totally separate, a psychological disorder.

Yes, and it has joints. You don't seem to be looking closely at all. That is not all one undifferentiated piece.

No, they have told me "I don't see anything." I say "Then what is that?" "They say "That's the gallbladder." That ain't a gallbladder. This is a gallbladder.

Nope. They don't agree on that. I can give you the names of at least 15 doctors who do not agree on that, who didn't spend enough time reading their medical textbooks apparently and are kinda dumb.

Those medical errors ARE NOT recorrected upon retest in the case of the Hook Effect or sickle-cel—like-blood type or…

Yep, it's what a decaying fetus with anencephaly looks like. You could see joints if it were more detailed, but this is not a detailed view. It is certainly what a foot looks like in a distal view. It is totally correct, in fact every single person who has seen that ultrasound in person and correctly identified it as…

Yes, it does use irrefutable facts and scholarly articles. The Hook Effect is not a disputed phenomenon within the scientific community, which no does not include Dr. Keith Lazyman of so-and-so hospital who just hasn't kept abreast of new knowledge in his own field to recognize what is verified fact among researchers,…

How in the name of all that is sane are you concluding that I don't even want to try to be a mother? Do most people, instead of consulting verified sources for facts, just open a dictionary and start randomly picking out words to string together and imagine someone said? That's what it seems like...

I actually have a much bigger problem with the people who were or ARE STILL silent on racial issues, who will post til the cows come home about their kids' craft night and LGBT rights and global warming and couldn't or somehow still can't muster a single like even on the topic of racism. THEY ACT LIKE IT DOESN'T…

I'm not narcissistic. It is verifiably true that I have a higher IQ than most people, and I would never dream of outright stating it if people weren't using their ignorance of facts that anybody can verify are true, to bully me. It's necessary to state that I am smarter, better-informed, and have more knowledge than…

You're disgusting, and have no knowledge of what's actually going on. To wit: these guys, one dead and one alive, are hanging out in my abdomen. It's really not my fault that I have a higher IQ than most people and am able to understand the (FDA-RECOGNIZED) imperfections of hCG testing and radiological error in a way…

That is not accurate. Only a minority of anencephalic babies, SOME OF those with a smaller hole for a defect, have skin covering their anencephaly. This is what most anencephalic babies look like. Some degree of this, with or without the brain already lost. It's an open, uncovered opening to the brain cavity in most…

I bought a few and tried to get a brand that doctors would not dismiss if I brought it in which was 15 dollars apiece and I got up to dilutions of 1/100 while skipping quite a few in between, then I read you should do it to 1/1000. It may or may not be the hook effect. In cases where there's not much morning sickness…

I've already told you, or somebody, that MY FRIEND JUST REVEALED TO ME THAT THEY MISSED HER BABY ON ULTRASOUND FOR 8 MONTHS. She was also getting negative blood and urine tests. She is trying to put me in contact with the doctor who finally had more than one neuron firing and called it what it was. It's very possible…

No, they aren't actually looking for it, because they tell me they don't believe it's possible. That ain't looking. If you think there is a zero percent possibility of something's existence, your mind will come up with every rationalization under the sun rather than accept that your preconceived bias is in fact not…

I just saw this. Yeah this is a case of misogynistic (both male and female, but it's the males that have consistently been the ones to call me delusional) doctors. I am trying to figure out how to approach this now, now that Anna wrote this totally false story that even my sister at this point came to me saying she…

Honestly I thought Jezebel was supposed to be a feminist site, at least until a few days ago. Why then are you posting about somebody being OFFERED a role in a porno? With a lot of commenters talking about how they don't want to see that as if she said she was going to do that? Literally any disgusting creep can come…

Oh and they don't care if my abdomen is swelling. They are chalking it up to "pseudocyesis". Which, if these fuckers had two brain cells to rub together, they would investigate on its own sake even if they erroneously believed I had that, because as other commenters have said there is no way for the abdomen to swell…

Well no, because there was a fetus swimming in a sac in my last ultrasound. It could be the same anencephalic fetus since they do move, but I am not about to kill a fetus prematurely, I can't do that, and it was alive on last ultrasound. I am actually at a computer now that reads DICOM and seeing if I can get some…

No, because my ultrasounds clearly show a fetus. There is statistically speaking a less than one percent chance of me having the eye color I have given my ancestry but I still have it. Rarity is not at all the same thing as nonexistence - the people with rare conditions are still very much real people. Rare conditions…
