Should I be concerned?
I have several positive HPTs...no doubt. They have steadily grown darker and darker until they match the control line. (over the past 5 days). This would be my first pregnancy and I am worried. I had a stomach virus the past two days and lost my breast tenderness and have been having dull aches in my uterus today. Could I be losing this pregnancy?

It's not uncommon for symptoms to slack off after a bfp, mostly because those symptoms are caused by hormones that change once implantation occurs. The cramping is likely from implantation and/or round ligament stretching in the uterus. I was crampy for pretty much my whole first trimester with my first. Congrats!

Firstly congratulations! Wanted to let you know I'm experiencing similar on this pregnancy ( I lost my first as a chemical back in July, AND I had no cramping or signs, so don't assume the worst) I know it is hard. I had nausea today. Could it be something you ate or just morning sickness? I had initial super sensitive breasts/ sore nipples too then it disappeared but has gradually returned but no where near as intense. I got a BFP on day 11dpo. I'm 15dpo today and tonight started cramps and twinges in my left side. Obviously if cramps are severe then seek medical advice, mine is just uncomfortable but doesn't need paracetamol. A hot water bottle helped and I started googling - hense how I stumbled upon your post. The good news is our symptoms are apparently normal as everything is stretching, increased blood flow, implantation bedding, hormone surges etc. I wish you GL and a healthy pregnancy. X
