Last weekend I made my boyfriend go to the store and get me a new test because I just did NOT feel pregnant. Like, all of my symptoms just stopped for several days. He got me a FRER and it came back a blazing positive.

This is baby #4 for me. Never had a miscarriage or any complications with any of my pregnancies but I’m still worrying like crazy with this one. First appointment is Friday and I’m praying they give me an ultrasound just to easy my mind.

Aw, it's so hard to not worry and stress. ❤ But I wouldn't rely on hpt to help show if your HCG is increasing. When do you go in for your first doctor's appointment? Do they do the blood draws to check for doubling? That would help you not stress. Either way, you're pregnant! Yay! Lol. Don't let doubt or worry take away your joy. ❤

My husband said I need to stop testing! Lol it’s hard when there is so much unknown. Having positive tests helps ease my anxiety a little. But when I get a lighter line I start to freak again. Lol I’m really trying my best to not stress too much.

Congrats on your pregnancy! I can relate - I’ve been testing like a mad woman and trying to compare tests side by side to make sure they’re getting darker. I’ve told myself to STOP - I’m pregnant and need to just relax. I do know the tests can vary so much and also your urine so I’m sure you’re fine. I’m glad you retested and it was dark again. Hoping I have the will power stay away from the tests until I see my midwife! Good luck to you!!

Congratulations ?

I went ahead and took a first response test because my anxiety got the best of me. Luckily, it was super positive so I’m feeling a little better. Just wanted to give a little update. Thank you all for the words of encouragement.

Of course! You are so welcome! I've been there so I know exactly what you're feeling.

We lost our baby at 9 weeks back in May. In the 5 weeks I knew I was pregnant with that baby I was overjoyed, hopeful, positive, and excited. I will never regret being like that. Those were some of the happiest weeks of my life.

Hang in there and try to remain positive and hopeful. ?

Thank you so much for your response! I needed to hear that ❤️

A positive is a positive. If you're getting positives and you're not bleeding, you're pregnant. Lines can vary based on brand of test, dye in the specific test, time of day, and your hydration. Try not to stress out because it's out of your control anyway. Plus, stress is not good for baby. So do your best to enjoy every moment of pregnancy! It's really all you can do. Congrats and good luck!

Ugh it’s hard. The unknown is killing me. I’m just trying to take it one day at a time.

I'm on my third pregnancy too, I'm a ball of nerves and I keep begging my husband to go get tests and I keep checking when I pee. It's crazy how we've been through it before and still get this feeling

Thank you for your comment! It definitely helped ease my mind a little. This is my third pregnancy, you would think I’d be more calm and know what to expect lol. Every little thing freaks me out! I do appreciate your feedback!

My first morning void tests have been lighter than my afternoon tests. I think a positive is a positive. Congratulations
