Early doors... doubting and nervous!

[DCorks]

Hiya folks.

not sure what I am after... reassurance... advice maybe???!!

5 weeks and 5 days ago I had to have a medical termination for medical reasons. At 14 weeks it was confirmed that the baby had a condition called Acrania and was not viable.

6 days ago I had a positive pregnancy test. Have since tested far too may times... all clear blue and all showing 1 - 2 weeks. Latest this morning. I saw the doctor on wednesday who says that as far as he is concerned I am indeed pregnant again. My concern is that hormones were still showing from the last pregnancy because it is so soon but he did not think this was the case and was 99% sure that I am pregnant. He sent me for bloods for my peace of mind.

I phoned for the bloods on friday and they have said that I have to have them repeated.

About a week and a half ago I had the metalic taste for 2 days solid and have had some cramping left and right but no symptoms for the last week. Although I am quite weepy but not sure whether this is just because I am driving myself mad!

Am having bloods taken again on Monday but am just so stressed out! I just want to know either way but cannot seem to get it out of my head that maybe.... I am not! I know most things are pointing towards me being pregnant but I just can't get these little niggles out of my head. I know I need to wait for the bloods but the thought of 3 more days like this is driving me mad!

If I am not then thats fine - after what we went through 6 weeks ago I have no concerns about a pregnancy scare but I just need to know

sorry about the war and peace and thanks in advance for your thoughts!

First, congratulations on the pregnancy. It sounds like the GP ordered the bloods to set your mind at rest not his; he's convinced your pregnant. But I am sorry you've had such a tough time recently - losing a baby is awful and everyone worries about am/aren't I pregnant still in early pregnancy. In my experience 'proper' pregnancy symptoms don't kick in until about 6/7 wks. In the meantime - easier said than done, I know - try not to worry, take care of yourself - put your feet up with a book or in front of the TV and take it easy for a couple of days. Take care.

Congrats, sorry about what you have been though and waiting for results is agonising (am waiting for some myself) Try to find something to keep busy I have planted millions of seeds and done loads of weeding which helps a bit. Only a few more sleeps and hopefully your mind will be at ease untill the normal pregnancy worries kick in. xx

Thanks Ladies,

I was fairly sympton free first time around but did have really sore boobs but can't remember when that kicked in.

I know I am driving myself mad and although I would have liked to have kept it quiet I have now confided in a couple of friends which has helped.

I know that i am probably worrying myself unecessarily but i can't seem to stop it at the minute.

I too have been planting seeds - although my germinated chillis are looking a little unhealthy! so have been keeping myself occupied!

Thanks for your lovely words of support. xx
