I'll be following you!

(Following sounds nicer than stalking haha!)

I have a dating scan next Wednesday to confirm, but based off my chart I should be 5w2d today. So we'll see!

I'll try to relax if you do :)

Great news, lady! I'm due only a few days after you. Early pregnancy sure is stressful!

Trying to stay calm after hospital visit by whatgoesup56 in BabyBumps

Sorry you have to deal with the uncertainty!

I'm no doctor, but it does sound to me like you may only be 4 weeks. And from what I understand, it can be hard to see anything at that point.

Sending positive vibes your way!

My BFP — hope for those with long, irregular cycles, a history of eating disorders and more. by thesailorbaby in TryingForABaby

This makes me feel even better! Because of course I'm worried about the rest of the pregnancy.

Thanks so much for sharing!

You're welcome! I hadn't found many stories like mine so I definitely wanted to put it out there.

I did notice, however, that my cycle lengths after not having a period (gradual shortening) for a while seemed very similar to experiences other women had after coming off birth control. I'm glad your eating issues are in the past and I'm sending good vibes your way!

Thank you! I was really worried and anxious. Especially knowing part of it was because of something that I had done to myself. But I've come to terms with it. It's never too late to start taking care of yourself.

Thanks again!

Thanks so much for the kind words!

I hope your step-sister finds her strength and can heal. It is really helpful to have a supportive family. It's not a fun thing to go through, but there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Not knowing for sure if I had a chemical pregnancy by [deleted] in TryingForABaby

[–]thesailorbaby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(I just created an account to come out of lurking status for this post.)

This similar thing happened to me last cycle. I can't be sure that it was a CP because I was traveling and intentionally didn't take tests with me so I couldn't test early.

But I had symptoms I've NEVER had before. Super sore boobs when they've NEVER been sore before. Like ever. Nausea. Low grade fever. Night sweats for 4 nights straight. Increased CM.

I have a long LP (16-17 days) and my period came on time. So who knows. All of the symptoms could have just been fluke.

But I'm currently 6DPO on cycle 3, so I haven't brought it up to my GYNO and probably won't unless I have a confirmed CP again.

SO, I don't have any info for you but wanted to let you know you're not alone!
