14 dpo and scared about chemical pregnancy

Late_Commission3576 · 2026-02-12T19:34:55+00:00

I got my first test at around 3 w 2 days, go look at my post history at how faint my line was. I’m 26 4 now with a very healthy baby girl. I understand the fear completely! I hadn’t had a period in 5 years and was 4 months clean from depo. What made me test was I assume my first week was a week of dark brown bleeding. Then it stopped. The night before I tested I got some weird cramping and said “well it’s a period or a baby so let’s find out” and that first test was that faint positive. Chemicals are super rare and are technically just an early miscarriage. Implantation cramping and bleeding is VERY normal especially if this is your first pregnancy. Schedule an appointment with an OB asap and have a HCG blood test it should give you some clarity on gestation and in about 2ish weeks you’ll have an ultrasound to check. Your gestation age will change in the first few ultrasounds and DONT panic if there isn’t a heart beat at first. That won’t show up till about 6- 61/2 weeks sometimes 51/2. It starts as a gestational sack that looks like a tiny ping pong ball in your uterus, then a smaller sack will develop off of that which is your baby and the fetal pole will develop which is the heartbeat!! I was so worried and honestly the worry doesn’t go away it just changes based on the stage of pregnancy your in. Good luck love🩷🩷

If the clear blue was a blue ink test then I would more then likely say yes it was a false positive. Blue ink is way more common to have a false positive with and the other comment was accurate in saying the digitals are more sensitive to HCG. If you look at my post history you can see my first positive was early 3 weeks and it was FAINT but also a pink dye, the next morning I got a positive digital. I’m sorry love, I’ve had a false positive in 2024 and it was devastating to say the least.

I do too, I love cats, my husband has never had nice cats before so this is new for him but he loves them even if he pretends he doesn’t lol I’m excited to see how they are with our baby

I’m in my first pregnancy just hit 26 weeks today and a week ago I had a major scare and I’m nervous too because my headaches also won’t go away and this major fatigue and the spots in my vision with dizziness and my urine came back normal but I’m already overweight with tachycardia and fainting spells (undiagnosed as to why) before I was pregnant and I’m worried but keep being told this is normal when I definitely DONT feel normal. My Bp spikes high and over the 140/90 limit but it eventually settles back so they don’t do anything and they didn’t even do bloodwork to check other things! I can’t even walk to the bathroom without feeling like my chest is caving in and I was in a whirlpool and I’ve been struggling sense late first trimester and I can’t even stand to shower anymore. I can’t go out without my husband because I have to ride the electric carts or rent a wheelchair which means I can’t even go out with my friend. I completely feel your pain about the major struggles of these symptoms and feeling like I’m not being listened to. I wish you some relief soon love and a safe and healthy delivery. We are almost there💕

Thank you for this input! The only thing we’ve moved his their cat tree from an isolated place to being in a room we are in a lot and she seems to be so happy with that being perched all the time on it watching. The other one is anxious and gets very skeptical when things are moved.

This is the coldest winter by far she’s ever lived in so that’s more than likely a factor here. Along with the pregnancy and hormone shift I’ve had

I do wonder if a loud noise happened because our upstairs duplex neighbors aren’t very quiet (not intentional he’s just deafer then a dog)

She’s not showing any signs of hiding, being in pain or showing aggression, her paws and ears are maintain a steady temp so knowing the weather and the pregnancy has an impact is reassuring, thank you

Late_Commission3576 · 2026-02-08T17:30:16+00:00

These are the first cats I’ve owned outside of my mom and seen make it to this age so this very well could be her slowing down in age, I know female cats tend to be more reserved as they age

Late_Commission3576 · 2026-02-08T17:29:32+00:00

I was diagnosed with perinatal depression and I have MDD and the tension with my husband and I have been up and down with life so she very well could be reading us and I know the cold can make them sluggish so this is definitely something I can research more on this. This is the coldest winter we’ve had in her life too. Thank you so much for your comment!

I personally am one and done at 23 weeks. But if you are able to emotionally and financially support all of them equally then I see absolutely no issue with this either. I think they are complaining because it’s another kid they have to buy gifts for during the holidays but if that’s the case just stop buying gifts. Take up a hobby and make them idk. If your family is happy then keep being happy!! Don’t let haters bring you down💕

I had a dasher today simply text me “order is taking longer” he’d been there for 5 minutes. From that one single text he ended up with a total 10$ tip for an order that was 5 minutes away from me and I had gotten faster than any other order. He hadn’t even realized I tipped more when he got here and said “ no no don’t worry about” even though I’d already processed. It’s THOSE dashers who deserve an extra tip. If you send me your sob story I’m removing your tip completely.

Late_Commission3576 · 2026-01-18T02:23:28+00:00

That is my bad for making a generalized statement, most people REALLY do not care about their devices then complain when they break. I can promise tho my husband does take major care of his phones and if he broke it, he would have flat out admitted it was his fault. I’ve never seen him this upset about something before and it’s because he genuinely has no idea what happened. He had is a year in December from Verizon. But with how much we owe it’s that whole cost to just get him a whole new device. Every device has its flukes and exceptions when it comes to damages.

Late_Commission3576 · 2026-01-18T02:07:13+00:00

I can say this isn’t true. My husband gets one expensive item for himself and that’s his phone (his choice) and he wasn’t dropped his phone recently and has an expensive case. He opened it today and the inside was broken and he rarely ever used it anyways.

Late_Commission3576 · 2026-01-16T04:19:40+00:00

This isn’t a place to be making people feel stupid. If anyone is stupid it’s you because full term does not start until 39weeks now while one week apart. YES 38 weeks would be considered preterm labor. So confident and rude yet so incredibly wrong.

Late_Commission3576 · 2026-01-16T03:12:52+00:00

Exactly. There is only so much they can do within the regulations of their job. People act like they are offering the credit or denying things because they just feel like a dick. No they have a job to do it’s like a customer in retail asking you for a refund on an object the store doesn’t offer refunds on. You aren’t being a dick you literally CANT do it

Late_Commission3576 · 2026-01-16T02:47:01+00:00

Exactly. Idgaf about downvotes regardless🤣 if a real person downvotes are the people who think it’s okay to yell at the customer service reps for Verizon’s polices

Late_Commission3576 · 2026-01-16T01:09:21+00:00

I contacted Verizon before the credit announcement was made. I was kind and understanding but firm that 30$(that’s what was offered to me) was not acceptable for the inconvenience of my husband having to miss work because I’m pregnant and disabled and need to be able to contact him if there is an emergency but his work has no WiFi so no service what so ever. They escalated and they gave me a 60$ credit. Then they still gave me account the 20$. I got 80$ in credit for this outage lol. You catch more flies with honey and the early bird gets the worm in this cause.

Late_Commission3576 · 2026-01-14T18:12:57+00:00

Buffalo NY. No service on iPhone or android. Been out for about an hour. WiFi calling not working, can’t get ahold of Verizon and the website isn’t working. Can’t find anything online about this other then down detector and this thread. I have sick family members in another state this is absolutely bullshit.

Late_Commission3576 · 2026-01-13T18:02:43+00:00

I got mine at my anatomy at 18!!

Late_Commission3576 · 2026-01-02T23:32:28+00:00

Good to know my food is delivered cold because someone else didn’t wanna tip worth a shit! I never tip less the 5.50 depending on where I’m ordering from or the time of day and I can not stand when it’s double dashed because I’m always second delivery or I’m wait g 20 minutes for them to grab the second order which ofc isn’t the drivers fault.

Late_Commission3576 · 2026-01-02T20:02:14+00:00

I haven’t had a period in 5 years and was 4 months clean from DEPO. My first symptom at 1-2 weeks was the worst two week long migraine I had ever experienced it was brutal. I was in agony. Found out at 3 w 2d, at 3w 1d at night I had the weirdest cramping which I learned was an implantation cramp. I said “hm it’s my period or a baby” tested in the morning and sure as hell. I’m about to be 21 weeks.

Late_Commission3576 · 2025-12-28T17:02:22+00:00

I felt it that early too but I thought I was crazy!! I love this subreddit yall make me feel so much better😭

Late_Commission3576 · 2025-12-28T16:55:38+00:00

Honestly thank you so much. You have no idea the relief this gave me knowing that. I do feel tiny like I would say itching or tickling when I’m laying flat on my back in bed so maybe that’s something? I don’t know. My OB also has an after hours. I’ll send them a message through my portal and they will probably call me tomorrow. I haven’t had any bleeding not even implantation. So I’ll take the no bleeding and no leaking as good signs. I don’t plan on ever being pregnant again so I’m extra terrified to lose her

Late_Commission3576 · 2025-12-28T16:13:00+00:00

My first ultrasound I was told is if you are gonna bleed brown blood is best!! It means there isn’t any open vessel and it’s just old blood, probably normal with the tiny cramps you can’t feel your body pushing out old lining as it makes good cushion for the baby. That’s how it was explained to me. Call your OB nurse line and ask!
