This thread is very reassuring! I did a test yesterday which was positive - I'm in shock!! I m/c'd back in October and it was all quite dramatic with emergency surgery and blood transfusions following the discovery of a blighted ovum. I also m/c'd back in 2002 so this will be our third pg. DH saw the test first and when he showed me I burst into tears. We have been really careful as I wasn't ready to think about trying again for a while and I've taken on a new job which I love. In fact, we weren't sure if we wanted to try again at all! We've figured out we must have conceived on Boxing day when we were both very drunk!! (so I think I'm about 3 weeks?).
Anyway, we have decided not to tell a soul so you guys have to keep it a secret LOL! I'm surrounded by pg people which was really hard back in October - my DSIL, my cousin, my boss, my best friend... (you get the picture!). I've got my head around them having their babies and DSIL wants me there for her birth. Really looking forward to all of them having theirs. However, now, everything is topsy turvy. I'm trying not to think about it at all but I can't help it! I don't even feel pg this time - last time, I felt reassured by the symptoms but now I've got nothing to go on...
I can't decide if I want to see the GP and demand an early scan for reassurance or wait until at least 12 weeks then book in with the mw - I don't want to tempt anything! Both m/c's have been at 10 weeks. Keeping it a secret is going to be a task - I'm going to buy some folic acid tomorrow and pour them into an empty multivitamin pot so the kids don't suspect anything (DD is 8 and DS is 12). I feel guilty that I am panicking when I have two beautiful children already but this will hopefully be the first with my DH (been married nearly 5 years). He has been great btw.
Sorry to rant but I've got it all bottled up and it needs to come out somewhere!! I'm so tired which was what made me do the test.
Have really enjoyed reading all your posts of encouragement! Hope all is going well for you...
