BFPs but feeling too nervous to get excited! Is this normal?

Hi everyone!!

My husband and I decided last month that we are ready to start ttc. I am due af tomorrow but have done 8 (possibly more - whoops) hpt and all have been positive! I have just done one and it was clear as day - 2 pink lines!

I really dont know how to feel because I dont 'feel' anything outside of my normal af symptoms (achy boobs and cramps). I am too terrified to get excited, is it too good to be true? Am I already being "too much" by thinking all these thoughts or is this normal?
If this bfp is true, we would be over the moon. It could not have happened at a better time in our lives.

I thrive off of others opinions and experiences, so please do share as being an overthinker in general, it would just help me rationalize 🖤

Hi @babyHP I have literally about 2hours ago got my BFP on a frer and AF is not due until
Saturday.
I'm in shock, excited and enjoying the moment but it won't sink in until I've missed AF on Saturday!
I'm also having cramps and backache but it's more of a pulling sensation!
I just hope the little bean sticks!! Fingers crossed to us both! xx

Ahhhh how exciting @MrsC87 - congrats!!
I got my 1st bfp on frer 3 days ago - so very similar to you. Its only getting darker and darker!!

Really holding thumbs for us both. Keep me posted on your journey 😊

This is mine, I'm hoping it's a good line for 11dpo. Going to test again in the morning with fmu! How many dpo were you when you got your BFP?
Congrats to you!! 😘

It’s totally normal to be anxious rather than excited in the first few weeks!

With both my pregnancies I have booked private scans for around 8 weeks. Once you’ve seen your little bean flickering away on the screen it feels much more real!

Amazing! Thanks for the responses everyone.

I used my cbd this morning and it was big fat PREGNANT with 2-3 weeks 😁
Ive booked in to the GPs to see the Midwife and will be surprising the hubby tomorrow on his birthday.

@MonkeyToucher Thanks for that - I worry that my worrying will cause the things I worry about to actually come true!! So I am working really hard to just relax and let nature work her magic!
