Cryptic pregnancy?

At this point, could I be considered a cryptic pregnancy? At 3 weeks 6 days, I found out i was pregnant at the doctors because I was having severe back pain and hip pain. I had 0 clue I was pregnant and it was a shock as we all just found out we had covid within the same hour. I had to go to the ER because they were worried it was ectopic where I spent the next 6 hours bawling my eyes out in a waiting room having tons of tests done. They found out I had a pretty big complex cyst on my right ovary causing the hip pain. The next week was honestly a horrible blur of trying to get over covid, my husband wanting me to get an abortion, worrying the pregnancy could still be ectopic, tons of doctors visits, etc. I didn't stop crying for a week. My husband came around to the idea of another baby but it still didn't make it easier on me because I didn't have an easy time after my second. I spent a long time in denial I was even pregnant. Despite seeing blood tests, pee tests, and ultrasounds of baby. I was in denial until probably 10 weeks. I didn't have any pregnancy symptoms this whole time. I'm 14 weeks now and I don't have a bump in the slightest. I was showing so much earlier with my second and was expecting to show even earlier where this is my 3rd, but there's nothing but a little bloat at night. If it weren't for no periods, I would have no idea i was even pregnant. Maybe part of me is still in denial but also recognize there is a baby there. I've seen baby move, I use a doppler to hear baby's heartbeat, I know the baby is there but it literally doesn't feel like it physically. Could this be described as a cryptic pregnancy? Could the stress of losing someone close to me, getting covid, and all the stress of finding out I'm pregnant cause all this?

Cryptic pregnancy by definition means that you don't know at all that you're pregnant So no, this wouldn't be a cryptic pregnancy.

@Leslie that's what i was wondering, if just the fact that I know makes it not fit that criteria.

Tbh cryptic pregnancy is totally different to what ur describing as @Leslie stated! You are just in denial about ur pregnancy. There nothing cryptic about it 🙃

@Sabzx i didn't know if there was a name for it or if being in denial could create cryptic pregnancy symptoms y'know??
