Hey there. I posted this on the TTC board and was suggested to join up here. So I guess I am very reservedly saying hello. Any comments would be great. I hope I stay here! : )
Hello. I have taken 3 home pregnancy tests in the last 2 days, all of which showed positive, that I am pregnant. I'm totally thrilled but scared shitless at the same time. Could I ask a few questions for some feedback? Thanks so much in advance! This is my 1st pregnancy (if its not obvious!).
August 9th---first day if last period
Had sex on days 12, 13 & 15.
This past week my boobs have been very tender and swollen, especially the nipples.
On day 26 I noticed some light brown discharge when I went to the toilet. Immediately I thought, I'm pregnant, this is implantation bleeding.
On day 27 I took my first pregnancy test in the afternoon, showed positive!
I took another one a few hours later, it was positive.
Today (day 28) I took one in the AM, it was positive.
My cycle usually lasts 28-29 days long. I've been off birth control for 2 years (using CycleBeads as BC) so I know how long my cycle is on average by heart.
******
My feelings are all over the place. Now I am fearful that by taking the pregnancy test so early, I risk suffering through a chemical pregnancy since I tested about 2 days before my period was due.
I'm so anxious that at any moment my period will start and I will be heartbroken.
If I did experience a little implantation spotting does that mean implantation was a for sure success?
And today I noticed some light brown discharge again. Is this normal? How many days would I expect to see implantation bleeding remnants?
Can anyone share their experiences/reassurances?
Thanks so much!
**Are mild twingy (not quite crampy) feelings in the abdomen normal at this stage?
PS. I am not sure when exactly I ovulated because I don't chart, but based on CM, I think right on day 14 or 15. I am super regular.

The more stress you feel though the harder it will be on your little sea monkey so try your best to relax. Even as I type this, I know that it's so hard to beanything BUT stressed, particularly with your first.
