Im paranoid and i cant help it.

I just found out on Friday that I am pregnant.
From LMP I have myself at 5 weeks and 3 days.

I have a 5 year old daughter who took 15 months and clomid tablets to come along and she was my miracle.
We have always wanted another baby. I became pregnant in 2011 and miscarried at 6 weeks.

I have had a second blood test this morning to check if levels are rising but I have this horrible feeling something is going to go wrong.
I have had a bit of cramping but no brown discharge/bleeding.

My anxiety levels are through the roof thinking something will be wrong.

The gp has referred me for a scan and I rang them yesterday to book but they said im better off waiting till the 6 to 7 week mark as anything before that is really to early to see anything.
What do people think about that?

I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis from which I feel great but I feel like Im going to stress myself out waiting to get to the safe weeks...

Congratulations on your BFP!

it is better to wait until around the 7 week mark as before then you may not see your baby or a heartbeat which could cause more stress.

Sending heaps of sticky vibes your way.

congratulations and i hope you have a fantastic pregnancy

its completely normal to feel the way you do after a loss....i was so anxious up until 20 weeks with DD2 ...and even though i have had a healthy pregnancy after my loss i was still so scared with DD3....

If it were me i would probably wait...because if you go early and they dont see anything it will upset you and make you even more anxious and everything could be completely ok...you should be able to see the heart beat etc at 7 weeks

Well I went back to the gp today for repeat bloods and the pregnancy test was negative... They didn't do any levels on Friday or today so it was just a positive and negative result.
Its odd because I have had no bleeding or discharge. He said wait 2 weeks for your period and if it doesn't show up go for a scan and we will repeat the bloods. So devastated atm....

Is it normal to get a positive and 72 hours later get a negative. I have had no bleeding and have all the symptoms of 5-6 weeks pregnant.

If you're saying a positive blood test followed by a negative blood test, then unfortunately that sounds like you've had an early loss. Given the speed with which levels increase in the early weeks, blood tests three days apart should show a significantly stronger result on the second one, whether or not they give you numbers

I've always found it to be that I will get the negative test and then it can be up to a few days before the bleeding starts. Its always seemed extra cruel to me - leaves you hanging and hoping emotionally when you know logically that there is no hope.

Gentle hugs. Take care of yourself.
