I posted in the pregnancy chat section so I thought I post here too

Hiya so I have had bad cramps yesterday and some cramps today too. I woke up and no more morning sickness and I actually feel great. My boobs are not as swollen so I did a digital week indicator test and it said 1-2 weeks! It was 2-3 weeks 2 days ago. I did it with FMU so I know it’s accurate. I am so upset right and have a bad feeling about this. Have you had this before? So cramps morning sickness disappearing and the test gone down. I know I am not overreacting as I have this instinct that something is wrong and there is nothing I could do about it. I have a repeat blood test tomorrow and than same day flying to go to Spain for 2 weeks which I am really not looking forward to it now which is a shame
 
I feel like everyone asks about vanishing symptoms at 4 weeks, so you're not alone here. You're so early on, your hormones are still sorting themselves out. You're not likely to have any constant symptoms yet as your HCG levels are still very low. They say loss of symptoms isn't something to worry about until you're past 7 weeks. You'll likely have super pregnant days and normal ones. My symptoms still come and go at 9 weeks and my baby is fine. I had a few days at 4 weeks where I felt totally norma and was a bit worried. It's fine.

Clearblue weeks indicators are 60% accurate, if that. They don't even sell them in the US because they're rubbish. Don't rely on them. They're easily affected by time of day/how dilute your urine is/how much dye is on the test/how long you dip it for. I wouldn't worry about that.
 
Hi winterwolf I really appreciate your reply as I am driving myself mad. I called clearblue and they said it’s 93percent accurate which than made me feel worse. It’s just that I want this baby sooo bad after trying for a year it seems too good to be true. My uterus is crampign and burning right now so I am thinking something wrong but I hope I am wrong. I hate those tests now. I am not drinking and holding my wee so I will do another one once it’s concentrated and I pray that I get 2-3 weeks. But call it instinct or not I fee something is wrong with this pregnancy:(
 
Ok after holding my wee for 2 hours and not drinking it’s gone back up to 2-3 weeks. I never ever do these tests again. I hate them to be honest. You were right about them winterwolf. I spent sooo much money on them :(
 
I said before, I had horrendous cramps until 5.5 weeks. Some people just feel the stretching more. It's scary but it's normal. You just need to search on this forum and you'll find hundreds of people who've been in the same situation! If something is actually wrong you'll have blood BEFORE you have the strong cramps. Strong cramps on their own mean nothing bad. Try to relax. :)

Yes clearblue claim 93% but I've read studies done on them and they're around 60% accurate, if that. They're crap. Any company that makes those horrendous clearblue plus tests is not trusty imo. The digitals cost a fortune and aren't worth it! FRERs are 1/3 of the cost, detect HCG earlier and give better line progressions if you're worried about a chemical.
 
My friend was telling me how she had missed miscarriage. She had no bleeding and she had no idea until she went to her 12week scan. So that keeps playing in my mind but whatever happens I can’t do anything about it
 
Also people love telling their stories to other people. I didn’t even ask for it to be honest. I think the scary stories should be banned!
 
I read that missed miscarriages only happen in 1% of pregnancies. It's a worry we all have to face in tri 1 but honestly it's not common. They seem more common on forums than in reality because many people who've had one will come online looking for support. Your friend is probably just tying to prepare you for any possible outcome. I like knowing what can go wrong though haha. Try not to focus too much on it, its not likely x

thanks winterwolf, I think same here too I like knowing so I am prepared for the worst. But actually I wish I didn't know about this as it's such a long time to wait till 12 weeks isn't it. Seriously I thought my worries would stop once I get my BFP but who am I kidding, I should know all about worry as I have a child and still get up at night to check on her so many times. I just think I am never going to stop worrying about my kids and just get used to it for the rest of my life...
 
I have heard countless stories of those dang weeks estimators going up and down and back up again and everything being fine. And I myself recently posted about symptoms coming and going!

Last night I met with a midwife at a birth center where I hope to have this baby, and through our talk I basically kept trying to get her to tell me everything was going to be ok and I wasn't going to miscarry again. I kept hoping in a superstitious way she'd just say "you won't miscarry! I can just tell everything will be fine!" Obviously she can't say that. But what she DID say was that babies can feel our energy, they can feel our words. She said "just talk to your baby. Welcome it. Tell it how much you love and want it." And so I guess that's all I can say to you, too; create the warmest, most welcoming, safe, and loving internal environment you possibly can for this new life. Tell it how much you love and welcome and want it, how wonderful it's family life will be when it gets here, how safe and adored it is. Use the power of your mind to focus on that.
