Is this really happening??

[Mugcake]

Hi ladies,
I've been feeling super tired and run down for a week or so and decided to take a pregnancy test. It's come back positive (line came up immediately)
We had an awful draw out miscarriage at the start of the year and I actually can't believe this is happening! I'm terrified though as I've been having period like cramping for a couple of weeks. My AF is a bit all over the place (last one 26th august) so one tracking app says it's 3 days late and the other it should start Monday. . .i guess I was just wondering what everyone else thought?
Really really hoping this is for real and this little one sticks!

That looks positive to me. Test again in a couple of days maybe, to be sure? Congrats! X

That’s definitely positive- congratulations! Also although cramps can be a bad sign they’re also pretty standard at this stage of pregnancy too so please don’t let it worry you!

@Mugcake I am so terribly sorry for your loss earlier this year. I cannot even imagine how awful that must have been for you .

That positive is definitely for real! Congrats! It's completely normal to feel terrified - especially after what you've experienced. I think you can take comfort in the fact that it's such a clear second line. Your hcg must already be quite high. From what I know, cramping is also perfectly normal during early pregnancy, so try not to stress too much about that. Perhaps you could book an early scan to put your mind a bit at ease?

I'm holding thumbs for you that this will be a happy and healthy pregnancy!

Thank you everyone for replying, I really appreciate it! It's so hard not to drive yourself crazy isn't it? I'll just have to keep everything crossed that this time it will be ok, it is a MUCH stronger positive than lastly time so hoping that's a good sign!

@babyfeet92 thank you, an early scan is definitely something to consider!
