Hi guys.
So I got a BFP on a FRER yesterday - its only early days Im only 4+4 (but im still technically only 10dpo) as I ovulated late.

Im terrified. Im trying so hard not to cry. I cant get excited as im convinced its going to be a chemical pregnancy. I dont know whether to tell work yet (im a chemotherapy nurse so I need to stop handling chemo if im definitely pregnant). I dont want to go to the GP yet as its still early days and BFP isnt picking up on a cheapie test yet
Im just sat here waiting for AF to come and confirm its a chemical and im driving myself mad Sad
Ive got a fair few symptoms but ive had on and off cramps for a good few days now so thats scaring me.
I should be excited and yet im so scared.

Did anyone else feel this way when they 1st found out? At what point did you accept that all is going okay?

Hi I didn’t want to read and run. I felt the same way as you do and I still go to a certain level. I also found out really early, I have short cycles so was actually only 4 weeks when I found out. I’m currently 7+1 and had a scan today and saw baby Smile. This is my first and I also worried and still do a bit, it’s natural. Is there someone you can talk to at work about your possibly being pregnant? Or it sounds like you are if you’ve had a bfp

Aww thanks for replying! Its nice to see this feeling is normal. Congratulations! I hope that seeing baby will reassure you a bit more!
Ive come into work tonight and seen we have a load of chemos and patients needing covid screening and I just cried -im the only chemo nurse on so its all down to me, I told a colleague who is happy putting it up under my supervision luckily and im off for a week after tonight so im going to keep it quiet and see what happens in the next week before I tell my manager anything
