Please someone reassure me

[ZebraZeebra]

I had an early miscarriage last month. AF is due tomorrow, if cycle is back to normal. Sunday, for reasons unbeknownst even to myself, I POAS and got a BFP. Like a crazy mad woman, I've been POAS repeatedly since. Last month I got a coupe of BFPs and a few BFNs until finally a bleed.

I've had 11 BFPs so far. I should be elated but I'm so frightened. I think they're getting stronger, but I've also been having cramps all week. I'm so anxious and it's driving me nuts. Is cramps one of those could-period-could-be-implantation symptoms?? How can it be? I usually get cramps right up to my period and I'm convinced the BFPs are meaningless, or meaning it's not sticking :(

Oh Zebra, I know nothing I can say will make you feel better but cramping really is a normal symptom in the first few weeks. I had it with both my pregnancies (DD and the one I lost), it's just your uterus expanding and stretching to accommodate the baby. So unless you have any bleeding with it or the pain gets excruciating please don't panic!

I'd also advise you to step away from the hpts. Or at least restrict yourself to only poas once a week. Otherwise you will drive yourself mad comparing lines and trying to figure out whether they're darker or lighter. Fx for you that this one sticks. x

Oh Zebra I really feel for you.

I had a mc 6 weeks ago so I really do feel your pain, we are trying again and AF due mid July. I know I will absolutely be terrified about the same thing.

However cramping is v common in pregnancy and all you can do is take each day as it comes. I'm praying this little bean sticks. But I agree with metal please stop torturing yourself with the tests.

Today, you are pregnant. Praying it stics

Big hugs x
