Worried that it's not real

cew810 · May 2015

I had two positive HPT on Thursday and now I'm freaking out that it's not real. I've had sore breasts , missed period , and exhaustion but symptoms come and go. I am paranoid that it's not real. I had my husband go buy another test to take tonight because im so paranoid. Any others like this ? My last period was sometime around March 25 but I don't remember the exact dates.

I told my husband that it doesn't seem real. It's like I need to have an immediate prego belly or an ultrasound before I will fully believe it. Lol so excited but so afraid that something will happen. I'm only 6 weeks

Just took this one

cew810 · May 2015

It will suffice for tonight but I'm sure next week I'll be back in the same boat

Silly as it sounds. Keep it on your night stand. Then you can look at the result when you go to bed/ wake up. I noticed my husband did that with our tests. He says it helps it feel more real.

Good idea !

I literally peed on 12 sticks, 5 different brands. Finally I realized it was true and stopped peeing ok sticks

I also have done about 4 more tests to just make sure!!! I am officially done testing now and first ultrasound is in a week. My symptoms are mild as well but as someone else has said to me everyone has it different so for now I am grateful

I have four sticks sitting on my bathroom counter that have been there since mid-late April. I think most feel the same way. It's normal

I'm feeling the exact same way. Had tender boobs, some nausea but that is it. 2 positive home tests and a positive urine at the doctors, and no period since mid March. But because I am military, the doctors don't do the first ultrasound until 12 weeks! I'm terrified, I'm going to go in and find out something bad

jjodom · May 2015

my insurance only covers one ultrasound... so i don't think i will have one until i find out what it is.

I've been thinking about taking a HPT while I'm out here traveling for work. just for reassurance.

For me, it's not real until I go to the doctor for the first time. Haha I kept thinking I was having a hysterical pregnancy! Haha! I needed a professional to confirm for me.

SamiBearrr · May 2015

My first ultrasound I actually asked the tech if there was really something in there, trust me it's not just you that feels that way ^#(^

kampbell · May 2015

I feel this way too. Did 5 tests and I still wonder sometimes. Having said that, I do have nausea, headaches, swollen breasts and mood swings but I need a bump or u/s to make it feel real! I'm only 5.5 weeks and will have to wait until 12 weeks to have ultrasound cos that's how it is in the UK. Sooo impatient!

Hah! I love this because this is EXACTLY me. I have 4 on my bathroom counter as well that I just like to peek at every morning. After 3 years of trying I never thought I'd see that second line, so I can't bring myself to throw it out!

Ken122014 · May 2015

Ha you guys are funny. I peed on one stick, got a BFP and then refused to pee on any more! Not because I thought it was for sure right though, but because I didn't want to tempt fate and see a negative on the next one! It said I'm pregnant so I'm pregnant! Lol

Seeing the ultrasound and the doc saying everything looked great absolutely made it more real though

raevanb · May 2015

My last period was March 19th and I've already taken three HPT (all positive) but I keep taking them every week until my first ultrasound, which is next Thursday (thank the lord). I feel like I keep wanting to make sure Baby B (that's what my DH & I call it) is still in there even though I definitely feel pregnant with the exhaustion, bloating and hormone headaches. I keep thinking its too good to be true!

leannecruz · May 2015

I felt the same way and had even convinced myself of a blighted ovum but after my first U/s I heard the heartbeat and morning sickness kicked in around 8 weeks and I'm now 10 weeks and puking morning and night. It's a lot more relief after your first appt.

asmith40 · May 2015

I feel so much better after reading these posts! I will be 8 weeks tomorrow. I had my first ultrasound last Tuesday. Everything looked great. We even got to hear the heartbeat! However a week has gone by and I'm paranoid something's happened. It's like I need confirmation every week that I'm still pregnant. Luckily I go again next Tuesday for another ultrasound, but I will be nervous until then. Since my AMH levels were so low we did IVF w/egg donor. That's why I had an early ultrasound.

kleshelle · May 2015

I never realized pregnancy comes with a boat load of worries, things I worry over I never imagined I'd think of. the first trimester is by far the scariest most worrying time. I'm so ready to be in the clear! 2-3 more weeks!

Praying41 · May 2015

I've had 2 u/s's and seen the HB and it still doesn't seem real. I always check the u/s picture for my name. Haha

amama3 · May 2015

Even after I got my pregnancy confirmed at the Pregnancy Resource Center I still feel like it's not real even tho I know it has to be. I'm getting super anxious for my first ultrasound next week(wed) and I'm praying that everything is going well. I think seeing my little bean and hearing the heartbeat will ease my mind and really make it real.

AllieDale322 · May 2015

Ditto to all of this!
I haven't had my period since March and had two positive home tests, and a positive blood test. Definitely feeling pregnant with super sore breasts, extreme exhaustion, mild cramping and peeing all the time! I am just so worried I will be the one with the bad news. All my friends have had healthy pregnancies and I have this weird superstition that then I might be the statistic and miscarry. I know its crazy and I'm also the biggest health nut I know, so I'm sure the little seedling is doing well.
I just keep telling myself to keep doing what I'm doing and things will be fine since no alarming symptoms or bleeding have happened. I hope everyone can find some peace of mind and we'll all make it to that first ultrasound!

jailocke · May 2015

I completely agree with all of you! When I first tested my guy tried to pick up the second test to get a better look, I smacked his hand. Lol. I thought if he moved the stick, the result would change. We laugh about that now. I way over reacted.

Bea321 · May 2015

I was the same way... I took three tests, all positive. I went to the doctor and took another urine test and she had the positive before I even got out of the bathroom. So I believed it. And my first ultrasound is a week from Monday so I'm definitely excited. I can't wait to see how far along I am. Your symptoms will come, believe me. Just wait a week or two. You won't even need a test to believe it.

kristen2b · May 2015

Well hate to get too honest but there were times that I was holding my newborn and still thinking, "Omg. Is this real? Am I really a mom? This baby is MINE??"

susiaustin · May 2015

I still in shock, I blame the doctors and the one in a million shot, seen baby 2 times, haven't had a period in 2 cycles, I'm 10w3d and yup still can't believe it. I keep telling my mom, I can't believe I'm pregnant how am I pregnant
