Has it really sunk in yet? - Page 2

[Mama2Tristan]

Hi everyone again,

So, I imagine that I am about 5 weeks along now, not really sure exactly until I go make an appt with the midwife, but still have days where I don't even feel pregnant....So, yes, sometimes it hasn't sunken in yet...Plus, I get the blues everytime I hear that someone has m/c...how sad....today, I'm a little mopey...and I don't have hunger pains, and don't really have signs...Hope it's not a bad thing. I did wake in the middle of the night when ds was nursing, and my nipples were a little sore, and I was either hungry or nauseous...but I ignored it since I was sleeping. Can anyone else comment on how they were feeling at about 5weeks?

It completely hasn't sunk in for me. Normally, I have sore boobs before my period, and this time, just a *tiny* bit of soreness. I have no other symptoms. The only way I know I didn't imagine the line is because I still have the test, and look at it every time I go into the bathroom! I'm going to take another one in 3 days, just to be sure. I feel completely normal. It's so weird. But good. Oh, and if I *really* am pg, then I'm 4 weeks along.

Make sure to read through these threads...some of us tested 7 or more times before "accepting" that they were preggers!

or, uh, 19 :

BUT! Only because I was doing an experiment comparing OPKs, internet cheapy HPTs, and a real HPT.... yeah, it was all in the name of science... :LOL

Well I just found out today - so I'm only 3 weeks 3 days I think (4 weeks 1 day if you go by LMP - which I don't!). But since I haven't technically missed a period yet I'm still in doubt. I had 2 very positive tests and I'm feeling really queasy. But there's still so much that can happen! Good thing I've got a dozen more tests laying around the house. That'll occupy me for a few days!

Congrats Kelly! I was reading in one of my pregnancy books today about how when you find out you're pg, it's like an explosion going off, and everyone else is walking around like nothing's happened. I feel that way, like, "I'm PREGNANT! This is a big deal!" And no one else cares, lol.

I'm taking another test tomorrow to confirm. I'm so afraid that it's going to come back negative, and I'm going to have to come back and say, 'Just kidding guys, not really pregnant after all." And I'll be really sad if I'm not. But I keep looking at that first test, and well, HCG isn't in someone who isn't pregnant, so I MUST be, right?

Persephone,
Which each pg every time I would go for my 1st check-up I would have this fear that they would come back out and say "you're not pregnant". I know how you feel. I think I am 6-7 wks and really don't have any symptoms so it doesn't feel too real to me yet either. We are waiting to tell our other kids until after my first check-up (23, May). 'Cause she could tell me I"m not really pg I have taken several tests and refuse to buy more to support my paranoia!!!

Well, I took it, and I'm definitely pg. No way I could miss that second one. Now the freaking out begins. Lol!

I too have the fear of my first preg appointment....I feel like they are going to tell me that I am no longer preggers. I don't really know if I am 5 weeks or 6 weeks along because I have the tendency to ovulate late in my cycle, and since we were not charting or doing any of that stuff, I don't know. My symptoms are really light now, so they can just be confused with just bad gas and light indigestion, nothing more. I don't even think it's worth doing the multiple preg tests because even if you are going to m/c, you still have hcg in you for a long while ( i know this from experience)....sorry, don't mean to freak everyone out.
