Hi everyone! My partner and I have been trying for a baby and we recently got our BFP! Over the moon however...
First day of my last period was 9th August for 5 days, and my cycle can be irregular ranging from 28-35 days. I have 0 self control so started testing maybe 2 weeks or so after ovulation (I think we may have conceived around August 26th, but also potentially at 10th-11th September)
I had been using those premom hcg strips to test but was getting negatives with every test despite getting to around day 42 in my cycle with no period! Eventually on Tuesday 20th September, i got a clearblue which showed a positive +! I decided to take it as we were moving house and I noticed waves of nausea when I was lugging the boxes around
I got another clearblue with weeks indicator on the 21st which also showed as pregnant, 1-2 weeks.
It's my first baby so I could be very impatient/dramatic but I have been anxious as other than my missed period and some mild cramping on and off, the nausea has gone and I have no other symptoms. No sickness, no real fatigue, maybe a bit more emotional but nothing obviously different, no peeing more often, no sore boobs etc. Does this sound normal? I think i am anxious as i'm unsure how far along (by the period it suggests 7+ weeks at the moment however test obviously shows a little differently from conception date). I'm going on holiday on Friday so hoping i get my booking appointment through in the meantime.
Does no symptoms sound normal? I retested again on Saturday 24th just gone, and got a strong positive again but I just don't understand where the symptoms are! I have had a termination a number of years back where I would have been around 4-6 weeks in the December, and had sore boobs, nausea, fatigue badly but nothing this time around
Sorry for war and peace! Is everything okay?
