Newly preggers need advice..

Nikki_K · Jan 20th, 2013, 09:33 AM

Hi Ladies,

This may sound stupid but I am a worry and need to ask some questions..
Last Tuesday eve me and DH got our first ever BFP after ttc for 3 and half years. On weds morning still a very very faint positive so rang doc who did a urine test and said it was negative. Anyways, I am still getting BFP's every day and did several digi's which all say PREGNANT 1-2. I am now 5 days late for AF.

I have absolutely no pregnancy symptoms what so ever. No sore boobs, No implantation bleeding no sickness, nothing. Based on my last period I am pregnant 4+2. Also, my second line isn't getting darker, its visible but not as dark as the second line.

I'm just concerned whether all of this is all normal or could something be wrong!? Also, should I go back to my GP for a second test?

Thank you soo much for your time ladies..
Lots of love xxx

Hmmmm I would ask your doc to do some blood tests, beta hcg to check if the levels are rising properly... Could just be a slow start though! Every second day your line should daren which indicates hcg levels rising and pregnancy progressing.

uk doctors don't usually do urine tests, if you have a positive. If you are worried i would ask for a blood test but a positive is positive depending on brand of test some never get darker and digis are very accurate in pregnant not pregnant altho conception indicator isn't as accurate.

It's still early days for symptoms it can take up to 6 weeks to start getting sickness and even then if you don't get it just think your self lucky.

My advice would be try not to worry and ask for a blood test they do 2 a few days apart to check numbers are doubling

I didn't get a bfp until 4+3 and it was soooo faint! It was even lighter the next day, then they gradually got darker. Docs usually use a low sensitivity test so I would go back in a couple of days

I would def ask for your Hcg level checked via bloodwork.

Sometimes MS, sore boobs, etc doesn't happen until 6-8weeks, and for some people not at all!

I wouldn't worry (easier said than done I know)

Good luck, sending positive vibes your way
