2nd pregnancy worries

[roro87]

Hi,

So a bit of background tried for 20m had my ds during covid. Then started trying again when he was 9m. Been trying for the last 2 years multiple fertility treatments and failed ivf. Then found out I was pregnant. The level of anxiety is huge partly because it took so long and we invested so much but also because I'm noticing it's v different to my last. I'm only 5 weeks have had dark tests where test line is practically as dark as control, but I am behind on the clearblue weeks tests. Also last time I'd no sore boobs and also was very constipated. This time it is the opposite really sore boobs, loads of discharge and no constipation. Guess just want a bit of reassurance as I'm really worried

I've noticed a lot of women take a lot longer to concieve their second for some reason. My first was a happy accident and my second has taken me 16 months with a 14 week loss in-between there. I'm now only 6 weeks so hoping this one actually sticks!

As for symptoms, every pregnancy is different, even for the same woman. So don't worry, as long as you aren't bleeding or having bad pain then try not to stress. With my son who is now 5 I had barely any symptoms, with my miscarriage pregnancy my symptoms were too much! And this pregnancy now I'd say so far is a happy medium, some nausea, sore breasts and fatigue but nothing crazy.

Hi @roro87
Congratulations on your pregnancy! xx
Don't worry about the weeks indicator on the Clearblue tests, i didn't take any notice and all was ok. Also, i had very sore boobs with my first pregnancy but not so much with this pregnancy. Honestly don't worry hun xx

It's all my doctors fault well not all but some of it. Here you've to go to confirm pregnancy and she kept going on how my line wasn't as dark as she'd hoped and all about miscarriage etc so now I'm convinced there is something wrong
