Should I prepare for the worse?

[JNicko]

Hi ladies. I'm currently 13DPO. AF is due on Wednesday. I got a vv faint positive at 9/10DPO. Iv had 3 consecutive miscarriages so my anxiety is through the roof. Going to call EPAU this morning as I can self refer. These are my latest test (the digi was taken yesterday at 12DPO) just looking for a bit of support, re assurance or for some honesty.

You need to stop testing now, you'll make yourself absolutely demented. You are pregnant according to all the tests. Wait for the proper 6 week scan and try to relax a tiny bit

I agree with @LapinR0se . You've tested positive, that's great, now give it a rest.
Seriously, distract yourself, do something different.

Congratulations, looks like good progress from last night!

Just to let you know, my tests were ALWAYS darker in the late afternoon/evenings than they were with FMU despite being much more hydrated. Wishing you all the best x

Hi @JNicko your tests look fine to me.
I do understand how you're feeling. I had a lot of miscarriages myself.
You'll drive yourself mad, testing over and over. It won't change the outcome.

I truly hope this one will be a successful pregnancy for you.

Thank you so much all of you. This forum has been a godsend for me and helped me in so many ways.

I'm still getting cramping is that normal?

It is normal to get cramping at this stage, as the pregnancy embeds in the uterus. It's a good sign.

Ok thank you. It's not mega painful or anything just like dull AF cramps

Yes, it's perfectly normal to get cramps. It does feel a bit like period cramps and not necessarily an indicator that anything is wrong.
I remember taking paracetamol for the pain - the pregnancy was text book successful. Good luck.

Thank you lovely

@JNicko that has definitely darkened!!!!

You think so? When you do that many it's hard to see sometimes x

I know what you mean, but it definitely has. Roll on your scan x

I know I can't wait. I just really hope I make it to that point as that would be a big milestone for me. How are you getting on?

@JNicko We will get our Christmas babies. Tests are progressing, slowly. A lot lighter than my last pregnancy at this stage but trying not to fret!

Congratulations OP, you're pregnant.
As others have said, and difficult though it is, please step away from the testing now. The stress of it will do you no good, and there's no reason this won't be a successful, healthy pregnancy. Good luck.

Thank you for your kind words x

🥰🤞🏼I'm sure everything will work out for us x

Hi ladies, hope your all ok. Well AF was due today so I did a clear blue 25 sensitivity. I just can't help myself testing for re assurance

I can understand your temptation to keep testing! You've got a positive result, so I hope you feel reassured. How are you feeling today?

No more cramps today. I'm feeling a little more hopeful today but trying not to get too excited at the same time. I really wish I could get excited but I know what it will do to me if it turns out bad. X

It's fine to be guarded. You won't believe it until you hold your baby. Just try to eat well and relax.

I will try my best 😊

@JNicko 🥳🥳🥳

I think the cheap test is darker today too.

@LW678

how are you doing lovely? Another test today and I think it's gotten darker. How about yours? X
