Before I rush out to buy pregnancy tests..

[Starjumpfifty]

I did all the craziness last month of testing and obsessing, and I don't want to put myself through that again if there's no need, so could I have some of your opinions first please.

Quick backstory:
6 weeks ago, I miscarried. 3 weeks later I started getting cramps and other mild symptoms, had faint positives, blood tests, and was told I had a small amount of rp that would pass naturally. HCG was down to 9 on my final blood test at start of May. Cramps stopped after that, and I had my period on 9th May.

Fast forward to 27th of May, and I've been experiencing mild cramps again. I don't track ovulation but I get a lot of cm so I'm pretty sure I ovulated on the 23rd, and the cramps started a few days later. One breast (same as last month) was sore for a couple of days and my nipple was absolutely on fire! That's died down now though but still experiencing the odd cramp and twinge.

I'm due my period Tuesday. Is it worth me going out now to get an early response test, or could these symptoms merely be my cycle still adjusting following everything that happened last month? I don't want to disappoint myself.

It’s so hard as my pregnancy symptoms are exactly the same as period symptoms. I don’t think anyone can really tell you other than you just doing a test and seeing x

Pre-miscarriage, I never had any period symptoms or sign it was coming, and never suffered with sore boobs.. so these don't feel like normal period symptoms for me, but I've come across a few threads where women have said they're more crampy through their cycles after having miscarriages. So it may be the same for me. I really don't know, I just went a bit crazy last month hoping it was a new pregnancy and it wasn't, so I don't want to do all that again. Trying to be patient and wait until my period comes but it's hard.

The earlier you test though, the less reliable the result. So why not just wait until Wednesday? Then if you're late, you can just use a standard test.
I know waiting is hard, but so is getting your hopes up, testing, then if it's negative, still wondering if maybe it was just too early, testing again...

@littlebox That's exactly why I don't want to start testing now, I'll only convince myself it's too early, not fmu etc. I've got a clear blue week's indicator here, but I know that'll be wasted if I use it now. I'm trying to my best to wait until at least Sunday but am getting tempted to give in to an early response. Was hoping someone here would just tell me I sound pregnant 😂😂

@Starjumpfifty I suggest you wait. I always had af symptoms but since my miscarriage I don’t get them anymore, even during my period I don’t get the cramps anymore.
