Driving myself mad- pregnant??

Hi all,
I'm on holiday and packed for the expected impending period.....and nothing?! I have a 26day cycle normally- sometimes shorter and I'm now on day 29.....nothing!
We have been ttc for over a year and had 3 early mc. Thing is, apart from slight back ache (dodgy holiday beds) I feel very normal, if not a bit tired.The weirdest thing is that I don't have any normal af symptoms. No spots, no horrendous bloating, no sweet cravings. I'm driving myself mad. Has anyone's only 'symptom' been no af symptoms?!! Thanks in advance Smile

Ahh delighted for you! I'd never felt LESS pregnant than the month I finally got my BFP. After months of symptom spotting, it turns out that I just don't get early pregnancy symptoms!

Thank you @peachgreen I'm just praying this one sticks! I was so shocked as I felt so 'normal'! Fingers crossed! Xx

Thank you @FoxTeaParty. Praying it sticks, I've got period type pain this evening- it's worrying me like crazy!

How are you today @Jaronior? My motto has always been to worry about cramps + bleeding but not cramps by themselves. I've had quite a few bouts of period-style cramping during my pregnancy but I've made it to 20 weeks unscathed! :)

Hi @peachgreen , thank you for replying. Hearing reassurance and advice really helps me. The period cramps have stopped and there's no bleeding thank god! I'm super hungry today, almost like a hollow feeling. Did you have this? Spoke to EPU today and they're scanning me on the 19th which will put me at ease a bit hopefully x

The hollow feeling came for me just before my morning sickness started... sorry! Eat little and often would be my advice. So glad the bleeding's stopped and I hope your scan goes perfectly.

Come and join us on the pregnant after miscarriage thread for more reassurance and people who understand what you're going through. Flowers

@peachgreen where do I find that? Sounds like it's the thread I really need. I'm on a May 18 babies thread but everyone's really positive symptoms just make me feel paranoid that I've not got them! 🙈

It's on this pregnancy forum - we're on thread 5 I think. :)

peachgreen · 06/09/2017 23:33

Sorry, thread 18! My antenatal thread is on 5, I got confused!

Sorry to just jump on your thread .. i need some advice, I was due my period on 3rd of September it's now early hours in the morning of the 12th September and I've not had s typical period but for the past 3-4 days I've had light pink on the toilet paper when I'm eloping after going pee but the lines don't seem dark enough for me to complelty admit that there's a high possibility that I'm pregnant.. I've done 3 other cheap Tesco £3.50 test which have also came up with super faint lines.. could this be the Evap line or am I going to finally be a mommy after 4 miscarriages... xx

@Corts101 hi, I do see the faintest of lines. Could you maybe get a digital test and see what it says? I'm keeping everything crossed for you- I've also had recurrent mc and it's sooooo hard xx

Hopeful2102 · 13/09/2017 02:28

I would say you are pregnant however it's a bit worrying your line is so faint. I tested a week after my missed period and my line was dark.

How are you doing @Corts101 ?

Update for you ladies.. after testing positive again yesterday, I started bleeding this morning heavily like a proper period, went to the doctors and was told I've had a chemical pregnancy. Heartbroken to say the least

@Corts101 I am so so sorry. I completely understand your pain, I've had 3 losses. 'Chemical' or not, (I hate that term), it was yours and you should absolutely mourn your loss. Sending hugs xx

Corts101 · 13/09/2017 17:44

Thank you so much.. I'm devastated... but this is number 5 now maybe it just wasn't for me this time .. or will happen when the times right right ? Had to go back to work after coming home from the doctors so not really had chance for it to set in right now .... xx
