No idea what I'm doing!

Hello everyone

I found out on Monday 20th March that I am pregnant. To say it was a shock is an understatement... I took 8 tests before I could believe what I was seeing (bankrupt now!)

Due to my boyfriend being away a lot during my last cycle I know the exact day we conceived because we only slept together once. 5th of March was d-day!

I took another CB digital test yesterday (because apparently I'm addicted to peeing on sticks!!) and am a bit concerned that it still says 1-2 weeks. Does that sound right at this stage? Shouldn't it be reading 2-3 by now?

I've also had some very mild cramping and sort of pinching feelings in my lower abdomen. The only other symptoms I've had are really sore boobs and feeling exhausted. Is that all normal?

Thanks so much xxxx

All seem normal symptoms. Cant help with digital ques...i just did one this morning im 5+2 and it said to 2-3 when i thought it would be 3+ but ive heard a few people say its taken a bit longer to get the 3+.....

The CB tests go from date of conception whereas due date goes on first day of last lmp so there's roughly a 2 weeks discrepancy

You might have had sex on 5th but you might not have ovulated till 10th or something as sperm can live for up to 7 days so that would account for a lesser timescale
