Bowl change in early pregnancy?!

Hi, this is a bit of a strange question sorry if it’s TMI .. 🫣 but I am a bit worried .. I am 5w+6 today after FET, and for the last two weeks I have been slightly constipated. Which I have read is pretty normal in early pregnancy so I actully quite welcomed this symptom thinking things must be on track as it’s a common symptom (had 6 miscarriage so any ‘ normal’ pregnancy symptom is welcomed, but this morning I woke with the urge to run to to toilet and my poo was really a lot softer, it wasn’t diarrhoea as such but just a lot softer than it has been for weeks. Am I being completely OTT and thinking the worst that this sudden change in my bowl moments could mean something had gone wrong with the pregnancy ? I know the heart should start around week 5 and I am now near the end of that and I am thinking what if something has gone wrong to cause this change and the pregnancy isn’t developing as it should ? Had anyone had sudden change in bowls at this early stage ? Is this normal ? 1st scan isn’t for a few weeks still when I am nearer 8 weeks so I am just worrying. Not ate anything particularly different either that would soften my stool ?! Thanks

Don’t worry I think it’s normal - I have the same :) think it’s all the drugs / our crazy hormones. Try not to worry xox
