This is going to sound weird and stupid but i just wanted to know if anyones felt the same.
We got our bfp 11 days before AF, supposed to be due tomorrow. I keep testing, because im addicted shh. Line is getting darker. I mean i am coming up to 5 weeks so super duper early but i have literally no symptoms like i see people putting on here. This morning i woke up and i just didnt feel pregnant. As odd as that sounds. I am convinced somethings going to go wrong, or we get to 12 week scan and there's either nothing there or weve lost it.
I remember feeling the same with my first, i had no symptoms until 16 weeks and i remember worrying like mad them first few weeks that i was going crazy and i werent actually pregnant.
Am looking into an early scan, but has anyone else felt like this? I feel like i am being stupid, but i keep reading about missed miscarriage and chemical pregnancys and its making me so paranoid especially seeing as weve been ttc for so long

Our baby was IVF so we had loads of scans and until I could basically see him kicking, before every scan I got this irrational fear of there being nothing there! I think it’s just your mind playing ‘worst case scenario bingo’ with you. Congratulations and good luck!

First of all, congrats OP Smile
I was exactly the same as you and like PP had some early scans due to being under the care of recurrent miscarriage clinic. I can't tell you how worried I was before each and every scan, they really helped (as much as possible) put my mind at rest and kept me sane leading up to that 12 week scan.

If you think it will help to go for private scan do it, IMO you can't put a price on peace of mind!

All the best X

Thanks guys will definitely book in for early scan for peace of mind (even though i will probably still be a worrying mess before and after it lol) its been 4 years of trying, with not even a single hint of a positive test in that time. We had tests etc but everything said we were fine just wasnt happening. So both of us are so nervous about this pregnancy but also trying to enjoy it too!

Congratulations! I think from my experience, when conceiving’s been tricky the worry (and the weird fear that maybe you’ve made it up because you’ve wanted to be pregnant so much for so long) is heightened.

I'm also just gone 5 weeks and feel exactly the same, no symptoms, only the test telling me I'm pregnant.
I think maybe reading online makes it seem like mmc and chemical pregs are more common than they are.
Good luck if you go for early scan and congrats Flowers

Congratulations on your pregnancy! If you go for an early scan, remember you may not see a heartbeat until 7 weeks so it might not reassure you. I think the recommendation is 8 weeks, as after that point if you've seen a hearbeat risk of miscarriage is very low.

The worry that there is nothing there is very common - as you say yourself you had it last time - my recommendation would be to save your money, but it is your decision. Good luck xx
