I had a chemical last November at 4 days late but had been getting faint positives before AF and had all the symptoms.

Then a couple of days before AF in January got a faint positive but AF arrived 2 days late.

March rolls around and I am feeling sick as hell, giant veiny boobs, the works but refused to test until I was actually late and unfortunately had a complete miscarriage just before 6 weeks.

We were giving ourselves time to grieve though we DTD a few times but not really thinking about TTC. Anyway, a couple of weeks ago I start feeling tired, nauseous, sore boobs, tummy twinges etc, and I said to DH that I think I could be pregnant. A couple of days later, smell from downstairs flat of bacon cooking wafts up (BTW I love bacon) and I couldn't run to the sink fast enough to puke and at that point I knew I was. Symptoms have been getting stronger and I've had to stop feeding my dog because the smell makes me wretch. I'm usually very regular but because I had the MC, I'm a bit unsure when I'm due but I've been testing the last week and a few days ago started getting squinter positives however today I believe AF has arrived.

I'm at the point where I just don't let myself get excited now, and I say well I know my body is trying to grow a baby and I have the symptoms but then have not been able to get to the 6 week mark. I know that chemicals are very common but I'm getting a bit sick of this now, physically as well as mentally. I mean it's one thing to be nauseated, exhausted, pure aching boobs and a constant tummy twinge when you're going to have a baby, but I've now had these symptoms for a cumulative of 10 weeks in the last 6 months!

Is anyone else in the same boat? When did you go to the doctors about it?

I think ordinarily the docs don't start running tests until a year ttc. However, you can clearly get pregnant, but as you say, it appears to be that 6 week mark that your body hasn't yet got to. If I were you, I would contact the gp as soon as you feel ready to get the ball rolling.

I'm sorry for your losses, op Flowers

Thanks @elephantonascooter sorry I missed this reply! I've actually just asked a new thread because after 3 days of heavy bleeding, I've got a stronger BFP than I'd had in the week prior so I'm very confused! Speaking to a doc tomo
