Hello! I'm new to Mumsnet, never been pregnant before so could really do with some advice on whether or not this is normal or if anyone has been in a similar position before?
I last had my proper period around 20th March (seems like forever ago I know), it was as regular as it always is. I think I ovulated around April 9th (I always get cramping mid-cycle so assuming this is ovulation pains), and had unprotected sex a few days before this.
Since then, I've had cramps nearly every day, had a 'heavy feeling' in my abdomen, been feeling so exhausted some days I can't even get out of bed, a few days of feeling really nauseous, my nipples have been more sensitive and the area around them has kind of grown and gone weird I don't even know what is going on with them.
Around 16th-18th April, I had a 'period' which was nothing like a period I've ever had before. It was really light, only had to use a pad, red blood, not clots (usually I have heavy clots) and only lasted a few days. Could this have been implantation bleeding?? Since then I've not had another 'normal period' as I would expect if I wasn't pregnant.
I have probably done so many tests since I started to get symptoms, and have been getting really really faint lines, I can see them but they are hard to see and only in a certain light, so I wouldn't really count it as a BFP in my opinion. I've just had a HCG blood test and will get the results end of next week
I'm really scared because if I am pregnant, I am on a difficult situation with the potential Dad (we have very recently split up and were drunk when we slept together). None of my friends have babies so I can't ask anyone and I'm terrified and really scared to reach out to anyone because I feel like I am just overthinking these symptoms. If I am pregnant it would put me at around 7 weeks.
Does anyone have any similar experiences or if you can offer any advice or words of wisdom, I would really appreciate it. I'm feeling very emotional and alone in this situation right now
