I had OC with my second pregnancy. Sorta the same thing, initial tests came back OK then I got a call back a day later saying another part of the test wasn't normal and that it was OC. That was at 37 or so weeks, maybe 36.

This time around I had nasty itching at 16 weeks and was convinced it was the same. I was miserable, but my tests were normal and after about 2 weeks the itching stopped completely.

Not sure how yours will turn out, but it can go either way lol
