Paranoid there won’t be a fetal pole or anything developing

I’ve seen so many posts about this and just after reassurance. I have a complete lack of symptoms really asides from some evening bloating and getting tired earlier. I’m nearly 6 weeks but read a lot about people going for early scans for nothing to have developed (an anembryonic pregnancy aka. No embryo). Paranoid so much now! How common is this? 😣

25% chance. Have you booked an early scan? I've been through it and it's awful but none of my siblings who have 8 children between them and most of my friends haven't, only 2 have had MCs. So it's more likely everything will be fine but if you're worried, book an early scan for peace of mind xx

Just to add, I had a reassurance scan at 6 weeks 4 days and saw the heartbeat this time, finally ❤️ I'm on progesterone pessaries.

aww best of luck to you!! 💕 So glad you’re getting sorted and everything is progressing nicely for you! I have a scan booked in 2 weeks 🤞🏻🙏. Can I ask, did you have any symptoms (or lack of) when you went through it? Sorry to pester or bring up these memories. I just never have the luck and it’s taken so long to get to this point so far 😣 x

So for the first one it was a missed miscarriage, so I went for an early scan at 8 weeks and 3 days but they said I was 5 1/2 or 6 weeks which I knew was impossible. I still felt exhausted but the sore nipples had gone and I wasn't nauseous or getting bloated.

It can vary as my symptoms fluctuate now but everything thankfully went well on my scan on Thursday, although I want another one already! X

I have everything crossed for you!! 💕🤞🏻 It all sounds very promising for this one for you anyway 🥰

I just still get paranoid that at almost 6 weeks I barely have anything symptom wise! Is it bad I’m wishing for morning sickness to make it feel real? 😅 x

Thank you ❤️ and to you 🤞

Haha, I completely get it, when I have it I wish it away, when I don't have it I wish for it 😂🤷🏼‍♀️ suppose we should just count ourselves lucky. Hope all goes well on your scan in two weeks. I'll probably go for another by then 😂😂

I had one just today. Thought I was 6 weeks and 5 days but it turns out im 7 weeks and 1 day. I could see a heartbeat. I was soo worried because I had symptoms on and off.

When it is so early they do an internal scan. Try not to worry although I know it is easier said than done because I am a worrier 😅 fingers crossed for you 🤞

Is it normal to test positive still? (Wouldn't usually do one)

Not the best pic and clearer in person. Is this normal? I've not had any sex since having my LO but I've had strong cravings, sense of smell is strong and my hair still hasnt started to fall out. Im 7 weeks pp so 🤷‍♀️ I wouldnt normally bother testing but with those symptoms that I never really have its like whats going on. Cravings for something very specific too and can only get from KFC now 😩 so its annoying

Anyone have this happen before?

We were not trying to conceive, used protection and had sex on week 2 of my cycle (accidentally on my peak ovulation day). Week 3 we had Flu A. Week 4 my period did not come (it’s very regular). I tested and it was negative (2 different brands).
What should have been week 2 of my next cycle (now 6 weeks post last period), I had light red/ pink spotting for one day when I wiped. The following week, I tested again, still negative, but this time almost all the dye was in the negative space, which I’ve never seen happen before. The area where it shows one horizontal line for negative and a plus sign for positive, the horizontal line was super faded at the 3 minute mark, and the negative vertical line in the next window was VERY dark. Now I’m on week 8 of all this, period did not show up yesterday. Nothing in my life has changed (no additional stress, no other illness, no changes in diet or exercise, etc).

Has anyone gone through this and NOT been pregnant? I’m super nervous as we thought we were done having kids.

PS. I know I should go get a blood test, does anyone know if urgent care will do that? I’m past being convinced by a pee test.

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??

Can baby mamas be friends?

My son has an older brother from his biodad. Biodad has never had contact with my son. One thing lead to another though and the other child's mother and I got in contact and are planning a meeting for the boys. Biodad has no idea any of this has happened. Biodad also hasnt had contact with the other child in about 2 years. Just thoughts, opinions, anyone been through something similar?
Edit-Thank you all! Have definitely been feeling somewhat weird about it because we never met before but now know it can be a good thing definitely helps. I can't wait for them to meet. My son has been asking for a brother and I can now happily tell him he has one. That just happens to be 13. Im sorry for yall that fight/have issues with the other baby mamas. Sadly some women rather be stuck on the men, when the kid is the one who really matters. They're the ones that end up getting hurt and missing out.

Ovulation test

Please please someone clarify if this test is positive. Im pretty sure it is but Im in disbelief at the minute I haven’t ovulated in 8 months. I feel like crying lol. When is the best time to have sex?

Ovulation test

I know this group is for pregnancy test but just want to double check this ovulation test is positive. I haven’t had a positive ovulation test in months and months I think Im gonna cry. When is best to have sex after a positive ovulation test and how likely is it to get pregnant?
