Recently positive but worried

Thrilled to be positive and I'm 4.5 weeks pregnant according to Flo and taking a million tests!

Boobs sore, feeling tired and bloated but today that seems to have gone away, I wonder if that means something if those symptoms seemed to have died down? (Again, that's just today...)

I don't want to jump the gun either way, but if I'm having a chemical miscarriage will I be bleeding? Any way to tell if baby is still ok?

My first pregnancy so any advice appreciated!

Not been to GP's yet as still closed for Christmas ...

Congratulations! I wouldn't worry this early about symptoms coming and going. It's really really normal for that to happen especially in the beginning. Mine faded towards the end of week 4 then came back with a vengeance by week 5!

It is normal for symptoms to come and go. You say you've take a million tests, if the lines get significantly lighter that can indicate a chemical, don't panic at slightly lighter lines as all sorts of things can affect that, it's when it's very obviously a lot lighter. But also don't overtest as that can end up worrying you more.

Thank you so much - I took another test today and was BFP very strong lines and sore boobs seem to have come back, so less worried now!

Hi I’m also feeling worried. These have been my tests so far but my symptoms do seem to be getting less. With my previous chemical, I tested positive and then started bleeding 3 days later. Really worried about the same thing happening again. Going to be a nervous wreck for the next couple of weeks.

Congratulations!

It's normal for symptoms to come and go.

Also, fyi, symptoms going is not a sign of a loss and having symptoms isn't a sign of a successful, healthy pregnancy either
