I need support. Scared of a chemical pregnancy even with a positive blood test at 11dpo.
I received 5 positive first response tests on days 10/11dpo. I had blood work done at 11dpo and it was positive. I'm cramping (Have been all week). A lot of pressure as well. I'm scared I did this all too early and In spite of a positive blood test will get a chemical pregnancy. I am supposed to start my period in two days..... praying these cramps aren't AF related at all ???? I'm 12dpo today.

There is a lot going on in there in very early pregnancy. Although I tested positve the day af was due, I was still scared to death. I kept thinking everytime I went to the bathroom I would see red. Cramping and spotting are very normal in early pregnancy and in no way indicates you'll have a chemical. Think of it as a good sign. Your body is changing, things are moving, and that is going to cause some discomfort and cramping sometimes!

I know how you feel. It is very intense to get an early positive if you have had a previous miscarriage. The fear is real and understandable. However, this stress you are putting yourself under can actually do a lot of harm to a newly implanted bean and make your fear a self-fulfilling prophecy. First, you are pregnant; allow yourself to appreciate your amazing ability to get pregnant. There is nothing wrong with you, and you can be really happy about that. Miscarriages happen sometimes but that is not the norm. The odds that it will happen again are low. Take the next few days to relax and do things that you enjoy. No matter what happens, women are emotionally and physically strong for this very reason. We are made to deal with the ups and downs of ttc and pregnancy. Be strong and stay positive.
