that is ridiculous hun! i cant believe how many stories ive read along these lines in the past couple of days. not to go against docs advice, but ignore it, you know your own body and what you went through; look after yourself and then you can go back smug next week!xxx

I am sorry Little J

I can't believe they are not letting you ste up an appointment. Can you see a different doctor? I wouldn't want rude people like that handling my pregnancy and birth!

if you tested out your HCG and you are sure it was negative, then rest assured that it is a real BFP. If you have not tested out your HCG, then it could be cause for concern. Even though you were only 5 weeks, the levels can take a bit to go back down. But if you are sure, then no worries, and enjoy your pregnancy!!

I am not so much worried about early loss, it is the later losses that I have issues with. I am ready for a sticky bean, and am ready to have a good pregnancy.

never got my HCG levels tested as my Dr.'s say they dont do that, they only do that when women are further along or if they have a red flag for someone needing it...

but like i said before.... with my MC i took so many HPT when i was bleeding AND days after and they were BFN.

So theres no reasoning as to why they would randomly become BFP which each day keeps getting darker for this pregnancy unless infact i am PG again. I have all the symptoms, i just wish they would be a little more positive (especially in such early pregnancy!)

I went through something similar last week with my Dr after I got my BFP. This is my 1st so it's all new to me too! I had spotting/bleeding so I was concerned and wanted to get a blood test to verify that I was pregnant. I called the Drs office and first spoke to the receptionist who said they don't do that and to schedule my 10 week visit. I called back and spoke to a nurse who told me they don't do office visits or blood test this early and to wait a week and test again. I wasn't satisfied w/ this so I called back and left a message for my dr. She called me back and said that I needed to have blood tests to monitor my hcg. I'm so glad I did - had my last blood test yesterday and she even asked me to come in for an early scan on Tuesday! Try to speak to your dr directly!

Hi ladies! Just got our BFP 2 days ago. Based on my last period I am 5+2 weeks along, but I did ovulate a week late (CD 22) so I don't know if that changes anything. My due date is either December 12th or December 16th.

Not having a whole lot of symptoms. I had HORRIBLE acne before BFP but it pretty much has disappeared. I'm having some light spotting today and some cramping but from what I've read I shouldn't be too worried about it. Other than that just sore boobies and slight waves of nausea every once in awhile.

I got my first blood draw done today and should have the results tomorrow so hopefully they will be good and I'll be around for awhile!

Then I am 100% sure you are pregnant!!!! I too got pregnant with #2 after my first m/c, and he is now 7 years old!!! I was a little worried, but once we got past the hump all was wonderful!! Hugs and prayers for you!!

I am going to have to try that....i dont have a OBGYN right now, i always had a physicians assistant do my paps/annuals just bc it was easier. but now I think ill call and ask to speak to the main OBGYN directly or leave a message. I want to go in for my HCG levels so i am reassured things are progressing normal....but then again im scared/nervous as well. I just want this pregnancy to turn out for me

I love being icky and crampy! I will take any pain etc to know my baby is still there inside me. But then i go nuts when they stop for a little while....im sucha nut case, i dont think ill ever be 100% relaxed until i see their little heart beating

That's an awesome way to look at it! I had bloods done this morning and have to wait until 4pm (another WHOLE hour!) to ring up for the hcg number so I'm stressed to the max but my back is aching like nobodies business so I'll take that as a positive!
