I've never felt so pregnant...

Hi everyone... this is my first post. Still getting used to the acronyms :-)

Sooo... We haven't been purposefully TTC, but are both very happy (due to be married soon) and both want children.

I am about 11dpo and a couple of days ago i started feeling odd. Had a migraine (very unusual for me) and a taste of blood in my mouth on Saturday. Since Friday night I've been waking up in the night feeling very peculiar and thirsty, and when I get up for water I feel dizzy. Been ravenous on and off and sensitive to smells. Overall I feel euphoric, so content - but also scared that I'm not actually pregnant at all, only mad. I didn't expect to feel like this, usually scared TO be pregnant :-).

The weirdest thing is that yesterday (10dpo) I had a pinky-brown discharge, plus funny cramps, but the spotting has now finished. My boobs also swelled up overnight. I was so anxious to find out whether I was pg or not that I walked 14 miles (there and back) to my nearest town to buy a test!!! very odd behaviour, and I am now regrettably exhausted!

I have done three tests since yesterday. The first had the feintest of lines (Clearblue), and the second was bfn. I did another today - First Response, that was also bfn. I'm going to wait until after the weekend before I test again, as it is upsetting me and is very distracting.

I'm so scared that this is all in my head. It has made me realise how much I want to be a mum!

Has anyone else had a similar experience where they hadn't planned to WANT a pregnancy but were scared that they weren't going to have one when it came down to having symptoms?

A line is a line, but if you're getting BFNs repeatedly now it could have been a chemical pregnancy, only time will tell - good luck :)

Thank you... I feel less "symptomy" today, just very tired and blue. I'm supposed to be doing all sorts of things but I can't concentrate - plus have no one to talk to in the real world to keep me sane. Might speak with my man tonight... I know I shouldn't freak him out in case it's nothing, but I hate not sharing my feelings with him and he will know something is wrong.

I was pressured into having an abortion about 8 years ago by a previous partner and I feel like my life has just been a waiting game since then... waiting for my family to start. So happy to have found the perfect partner, just know he'd rather wait til I'm past my prime lol.
