How did everyone else feel?


Ok I done 3 tests last Wednesday and all 3 were positive the last much fainter than the other two but till like they say a lines a line.

I went to the doctors on the Thursday then blood tests Monday although apparently none of these blood tests were to confirm the pregnancy.

For some reason I keep thinking that maybe the tests were wrong and I'm not really pregnant and my stomach cramps and sore boobs are just in my head......

I'm really paranoid about losing it too or it being ectopic. Until I started reading on forums and bits I didn't realise miscarry and ectopic pregnancys were so common. Theres so much going round in my head and I just don't know what to think or feel. I'm only about 6 wks ish so waiting for a scan is weeks away and I think I'm going to go mad by then. It's payday tomorrow and I'm tempted to go and get one of those digital tests and do that but I keep thinkin the worst.

I need to have my mind put to rest.

Sxxx

Yeah I went through that until I had my scan. Even now I forget sometimes. I think because its such a huge thing you probably cant take it in and it takes a while before it sinks.

I know how you feel....I did 4 test before I believed I could possibly be pregnant. The first three I did were with lines and I told myself that as the lines were not particularly strong that I might not be. I then did clearblue digital and felt better when I saw the word "Pregnant". The Docīs laughed when I said I did 4 tests and said they didnīt need to test again, as four tests wouldnīt be wrong - but I felt like shouting at them, no please do another one just to put my mind at rest!!

They did blood tests and in the end I found out the next day through the results that I was def pregnant. Even so, the scan they did last week, did not show much, which the doc was not too concerned about, so have to have one next thurs - when I see something on the screen I think thats when Iīll finally believe it. I am very tired all the time and am having a good 10 hours kip everynight, but because Iīm not feeling sick at all, I keep wondering if I am really pregnant - daft but true!!! My boobs are REALLY sore though, so I keep touching them all the time to make sure they still are!!!!

I know how you feel too. I have done 3 tests in the past week, all say the same, seen Dr- even took a test I had done with me, she said its positive, but I am only just starting to believe it. Don't want to get excited but can't help it but I still get that voice in my head that says "don't be ridiculous!"

What you are feeling is totally normal! Despite 3 tests, I didn't really believe it was true until I went to the doc yesterday and they told me it was positive (I was half worried they'd tell me I wasn't really preg). I've come to the conclusion that since there's nothing you can do to prevent miscarry or ectopic at this point, you just need to move forward as if everything is OK. You'll drive yourself mad with worry if you about things that are out of your control.

While M/C and ectopic are perhaps more common than you thought, it is still MUCH more common to go ahead and have a normal pregnancy and healthy baby :-) So focus on that. I know you won't be able to get the worry out of your head, but don't let it drive you crazy!!

(of course, you should take everything I say with a grain of salt, since I still breathe a sigh of relieve every time I wipe and see no sign of blood).

I know exactly what you mean. I do this all the time, but for some reason, I usually remember to check the soreness of my boobs whenever I'm in a public place, and so am feeling myself up all the time, trying not to be seen by others!

LOL

DH asked if I had gotten yet, and when I hadn't, he asked if we ought to test. I told him I would and ran to the loo. Took the test and obviously it had a very positive result (I used AIM sticks - same as a lot of US clinics use to confirm pregnancy). I walked out and showed him the test.

"what's it say?"

"says we're pregnant."

"is it right?"

"I would imagine so."

"how do you know?"

"this line is the control line. It tells us the test is working properly. This other line would not be there if I did not have pregnancy hormones in my body."

"you're sure?"

"yes love, I'm sure."
