Hi all,

I feel somewhat nervous and ambivalent about posting, but I've had very clear symptoms (same as early symptoms in previous pregnancies) for the past 5 days...have tested twice today and have very clear BFPs within the specified time. I'm 13 DPO. I'm excited, but to be completely honest, the pessimist in me is not allowing me to get my hopes up. I've made an appointment to see my GP - can't get in until Friday; so I'll be asking for blood test as I want to know if my hormone levels are lower than they should be and therefore whether I should be "preparing" myself. I have another session of acupuncture tomorrow, so hopefully that will help make this one stick. Doesn't it absolutely suck that we can't enjoy the simple pleasure of getting a BFP without having in the back of our minds the thoughts that it might not stick? Even my DH is saying he doesn't want to get his hopes up until we at least see the little one on a scan. Don't get me wrong, I'm extremely excited that I've got this far again...I'm 4 wks & 1 day! But I'm just so scared....
