Think I might take a break from pf

[Sarah13]

Thinking I might take a break from here for a while as I'm on here too much and I'm now starting to feel stressed and paranoid about my own pregnancy which I no is not healthy. I'm on here a lot as nobody knows yet other than my hubby and he's away just now so it's been nice to chat to other people with similar worries. There seems to be nothing but bleeding and miscarriages this last week or so, I've been so worried today I did another pregnancy test and the line came up much lighter than before so even more worried now! I did it for reassurance but now I'm wondering if my hgc levels must have dropped, silly cos I still feel sick, have had no bleeding and normal cramps, so urine was probably just weaker. Anyway I think it's best I have a break from here, at least till I feel better and I'll catch up with you all soon x

I was exactly the same as you until my scan, I kept having dreams about miscarrying and worried all the time, even my husband said I was worrying more about this one than my previous two and he didn't understand why (he doesn't know I come on here). I thnk it was PF as unfortunately there have been a lot of MCs on here. I took a huge step back leading up to my scan, and I feel absolutely fine now I have had it. I have even started sleeping better.
Oh and I did another test that wasn't as dark but it was because my urine was weaker. I am sure you'll be fine but just wanted to say you're not the only one who feels/felt like this and I empathise conmpletely. x

I have been considering doing the same hun as I'm finding myself getting really really worried. I think I might just take a break until I (hopefully) reach my second trimester.

Hope to see you over there in a few months! x

I peed on another stick too and it was very faint and I have hardly any symptoms at all but its early days. Im worried sick but despite bleeding and mc on here there are also a long list of ladies with BFPs who are still with their beans and as I have only been allowed to tell my OH and best friend this place and its people are keeping me afloat. If I wasnt able to come on here, Id be stuck in a world on my own in my own head, worrying and then Id google things that are not good.

I hope you will stay around and take comfort in the ladies who are all supporting each other no matter what their circumstances.

if yo uthink its best maybe to put your mind at ease then it might be for the best?? i always found with this site is that if i did have worries i could seek advice from other people going through it/having already gone through it.......hope you're ok......don't forget if you are really worried go to your doctor.....its what they get paid thousands of pounds for or go t o a&e..... i had to go at about 9 weeks pregnant, and you get rushed through as its a baby etc.......just dont be afraid of using the services out there if you really are worried!!!!! hope all is well....

Just remember that lots of people's pregnancies go really really well (otherwise we wouldn't have a world overpopulation problem lol). Just because there's been a few miscarriages/bleeding on the forum does not mean that something will happen to you so don't worry yourself. Tests can also start giving odd results once you're past a certain number of weeks because the very high levels of the hormone that they detect by that time can actually affect the reactions involved and make the test appear weaker or even negative (lots of tests mention this in the instructions). So a weaker test now that you're 8 weeks doesn't really mean anything. .

So relax and enjoy being pregnant now. If it is meant to be then that bean will stick to you as if it was using superglue and if not then you can try again and will have a beautiful healthy baby later.

I've been thinking about taking a break too. I've been more worried with this one than my last, I see everyone else's problems and think what if that happens to me. It was worse when ttc as I didn't really feel that I got alot of support on that forum, unsure if its as I have a child already and there's people who haven't even experienced one. Just felt like my threads asking for advice ect were not as much replied to as other people who had been ttc for longer, or had no kids already.

I have close friends who have experienced horrible misscarriages and still births, to come on and read about people bleeding at 5/6 weeks, even tho it must be so hard for them, i cant help think of my poor friends ect who must have been totally devastated to pass a child at 12/13 wk or give birth still born. But its almost as if passing some blood and a couple of clots at first cpl weeks is as bad as full term...its very hard for me to relate. Sorry if that sounds insensitive...just a bit off putting for me.

Thanks girls. I'm feeling a bit happier tonight, these hormones do strange things to you. Funny cos I didn't worry at all with my daughter, maybe cos I was so much younger and didn't know anyone who had misscarryed or lost a child whereas I've lots of friends and family who have been through it now. Plus my daughter was a 'happy accident' and this baby has been wanted and planned for quite a while, you start to think it's not really happening and worry about every little thing! But your right you have to focus on all the healthy pregnancies and in reality I know a lot more people who have had them with healthy babies at the end of it.

I also read up more on pregnancy tests and a line is a line, the colour doesnt matter and can vary between tests and urine so you shouldn't use it to check hgc levels, that settled my mind a lot too!

You can always avoid Tri 1 and join in the banter in the Lounge, Members Sanctuary and the girly room!

It's horrible worrying. I'm still obsessing over SIDS since my son was born. My husband has started checking my history on the phone and computer to make sure I'm not going on sites that are upsetting and worry me more! I remember being the same as you when I was in the early weeks. But you'll find especially from Tri 3 and onwards that this place is the best sanctuary ever!
