BFP, but shall I carry on testing?

[Mrsbee]

So yesterday was the day AF was due but I got my BFP instead I did two tests on a first response only after a half hour hold and they were good lines. But shall I do a clearblue one that specifically says "pregnant"? And in a few weeks shall I do another to check things are still going well? It is there no need? Thing is I'm now terrified to do any more because I don't want them to say negative though obviously they won't say that. I don't know I'm so happy, but my best friend and I are very close and she went through awful miscarriages and I'm so scared it will happen to me :/ does everyone else worry? But then I'm even worrying about worrying haha oh god!! Xx

I wouldn't worry clear blue aren't all they're cracked up to be and speaking from experience they can cause more worry. Congratulations on your bfp x

 

[Mrsbee]

Thanks sweetie. I just woke up in a total panic! Haha xxx

 

[Shepherdess]

Please don't keep testing! You've got your bfp so enjoy it. Congratulations! To carry on testing just causes more worry and paranoia. It isn't helpful. Just keep positive

 

[Mrsbee]

Thanks Hun I know I need to just relax haha xxxx

 

[Summergurl]

I feel your exact worry!!
I did 4 first response tests in the first week of finding out & haven't done any since. It is a constant worry and I too like you don't want to take any more for fear of them being negative, but I've had no bleeding etc and all symptoms so far that I've read are normal so I'm assuming everything is fine. I'm now in a phase where my preg hormone could be that high a test would show negative anyways so for now I'm just going to enjoy this phase (enjoy as much as I can with this tiredness!!). I know it's easier said than done but try not to worry, I'm certain our gut instinct will kick in if anything was to happen & certain we would know.

How far do you think you are?
I've heard also that clear blue aren't all that anyways! Xx

 

[Mrsbee]

Oh sweetie it's rubbish isn't it? I feel guilty because I should be so excited my hubby is soooooo excited but I'm just a nervous wreck! But like you said you have all the symptoms you've had your positive tests and no bleeding so it's all fine! We need to stop worrying don't we? Haha

I'm only 4 weeks and 2 days xxx

 

[MichaelE]

I'm the same, I'm really excited but quietly nervous after a CP last month, but based on dates my wife is 4 weeks pregnant today xxx

 

[Summergurl]

Yep, we are our own worst enemies at times. We know we need to relax & enjoy it but still can't! Xx

 

[Jojo84]

As long as you actually got a positive within the response time I would leave or and stop testing, if you didn't get your result till 30 minutes them do another test

 

[Mrsbee]

No they were both practically instant xxx

 

[Charliebump3]

Congratulations on your BFP xxx I wouldn't bother testing again as other ladies have said it causes too much worry

 

[Mrsbee]

Pahaha well against all your advice I went out and got a clearblue and I'm definitely pregnant haha! I know I shouldn't have but I was sat there and the more I thought about it the more I was worried and now I feel happy that I can just calm down. Sorry I didn't listen to you ladies haha xxx

 

[Summergurl]

Haha we forgive you mrsbee xx

We've done 3x FRER at varying times over the last 2 days all show positive almost instantly once the urine goes across the window, but yet you never fully trust the result when you've been trying for a while. I'm buying a CB digi test tonight to test - I dunno what it is but seeing "pregnant 2-3 weeks" or whatever is always better

I can't stop doing tests.

I amassed quite a collection over my 14 months ttc and have steadily done them all.

I've only got cheapies left now and two more digis to do.

Mind you, test progression is no indication that all is going well- my tests got lovely and dark with my last pregnancy and my digis went up etc but I'd had a mmc. I'm saying all this but still testing every few days to see the lines darken- I just can't help myself!!

[millielaura]

Lol I've taken loads this time too!! Xx

 

[Mrsbee]

Thanks summer hahaha! Congratutions to you guys Michael!! I know I'm such a worrier and this morning I'd convinced myself that the tests were a bad batch haha but seeing it in writing is amazing xxx

 

[fairyprincess]

I did a digi just cos I wanted to see it in writing! I tested again this morn 4 days after my BFP and there was a good line which made me relax again x

 

[Mrsbee]

Hahha ladies what are we like? We know we should just relax but it's so hard isn't it? Just want everything to go fine and dandy now xxxx
