Hi Ladies!
First post here. I am freaking out a little and just need some anecdotes.
I got 3 BFPs (3 different brands of HPT) on Wednesday! Today (Saturday) I think I had a little spotting. Is that normal? It was just two wipes on the TP, none on the panties. This is my first ever pregnancy (I'm 34) and I have no Mommy friends to turn to. I don't see the doc until 8 weeks. Should I just keep taking a HPT every week to make sure everything is still hanging in there?
Thanks for the input!
totally normal. unless you have bright red bleeding you should be fine. Even if it does turn bright red it could be due to other things so you would just want to get it checked out.
I agree with above - only worry if it's bright red and even then, everything may still be fine. I had spotting once with DD1's pregnancy and twice with this pregnancy and they're both fine!
Keep taking HPTs if it makes you feel better (most of us do at the start, lol) but keep in mind that you will actually hit a point where the hormones in your urine peaks and start to decrease... so if you start to see the line fade, don't freak out either. I tried not to take HPTs past like 5-6 weeks pregnant for that very reason.
It's hard in the beginning but you need to just relax as much as you can. You'll feel better once you hit the 12 week mark :)
they always told me don't worry unless your filling pads
Yeah, totally normal! Congrats on your pregnancy!
Thanks Ladies! I feel much better now.
It is hard without knowing what to expect or having a Mommy friend to discuss things with.
I suppose I will be around here for a while!
:welcome:
Congrats!!!!!
Thanks Ladies! BTW... Took another test yesterday and one this morning... Still BFP (only the lines were MUCH darker this time)!
I don't see the doc till my 8th week... it will be a looooooooooong wait.
It always is!! :) That's why this board is so awesome!Quote:
