    Good morning, Clautjuh!!
    I just noticed some pink discharge and I’m so scared something’s wrong.
    Luckily, no stomach pain or anything like that yet. I’m lying down right now. I should be 5 weeks pregnant today.

    Just noticed a bit of pink discharge. I’m really scared of the worst!! I need to stay positive, no cramps or anything yet, so hopefully everything’s okay

    Oh wow, that's so exciting, Saartje! Hopefully, it doesn't last long and there's a little baby growing in your tummy!

    Yeah, I don't know how dark these tests will get. They do seem a bit light for 5 weeks, but there are other women who had that too and ended up having a healthy pregnancy. I think it really could go either way. I can understand why this makes you feel unsure. I hope you don't start bleeding.

    Maybe I'm not as far along as I think. I've always had an irregular cycle! So keep your fingers crossed. Luckily, it's just white discharge again. Stay hopeful..

    Fortunately, it hasn't persisted so far; now it's just normal white discharge again. I read online that it could be a small blood vessel. Hopefully, the pregnancy test will be better on Friday

    Saartje, stop with the testing, girl!! It really doesn't have to mean anything. For us, the Kruidvat tests were also super light every time! Had a nice ultrasound today with a beating little heart. Just wait for your ultrasound and enjoy

    So sweet of you! Faith, it really reassures me that I wasn't the only one! I really wanted to hear from someone who had the same experience and where things are going well now. I need to stay positive, but I think I can only really start enjoying myself if I get good news on Monday!! Waiting feels so long, doesn't it?
    It's so nice that your echo looks so beautiful. Any complaints at all? Like sore breasts and stuff or nausea

  9. Faith1990 #29

    I hear you, I get your insecurity, but yeah, we have to stay positive
    I've only just started feeling really nauseous this week. My breasts were already sore at 4 weeks when I found out. I'm almost 4 weeks further along now, and I've already lifted two cup sizes worth of lead-heavy stuff haha. Other than that, not many complaints, so I shouldn't complain, just super tired and oh yeah, really severe constipation, but I was already prone to digestive issues anyway, so that's bound to get worse unfortunately. How are you feeling, girl?

    Oh, that's really quite a list, wow. Is this your first pregnancy? I hope so for your girl, but you definitely already have a very clear Blue test. Can't get clearer than that My CB test also showed 1-2 weeks back when I first found out, and the Kruidvat test was so faint.

  11. Saartje2014! started this #31

    Yes, really a list!! It's my first pregnancy indeed. So exciting, right?
    And yours, girl? First time too?
    Yes, that's a beautiful clear blue, right? I'm really happy with that. I think maybe I'm less far along than I think and maybe today I'm not even 5 weeks but maybe 1 week behind.
    My ovulation was also only on day 19, so very late. So it could be that I'm not so far along yet.
    Glad you're helping me. If you can cheer me on, that would be great

  12. Moedertjuh #32

    Your due date is 14 days after your ovulation. So, approximately what date was your ovulation?

  13. Saartje2014! started this #33

    Clautjuh, my ovulation was on Wednesday, May 9th, so shouldn't I be at 5 weeks by now?! It depends a bit, of course, on when implantation happened.
    That's why I'm really wondering if the tests are working properly. It seems like I'm not producing enough hCG.

  14. Moedertjuh #34

    Yes, then you'd indeed be around 5 weeks now. Implantation is generally 7 to 9 days after ovulation. Exceptions aside. But you'll probably get some clarity on Monday. Just a little more patience!

  15. Orchidea #35

    Sometimes your own calculation might not be completely accurate, so you'll just have to wait until Monday to see what the doctor says. But you've had such beautiful tests that I can only think that everything is absolutely fine! Let those nerves go and enjoy yourself!!

  16. Saartje2014! started this #36

    I'm trying so hard!! But because of those shitty tests, I keep thinking in my head that it's not good enough. I'm testing again on Friday, and as long as the tests don't show negative and I don't get my period, I'm a happy person.
    Also keep in mind that there are women who can never have this, so I should consider myself lucky
    Thanks, girls, for your help.
    I check probably every hour because your messages really help me out

  17. Moedertjuh #37

    Well, the fact that you're not bleeding is a good sign. And if you'd like to keep testing, just go ahead. You should do what your gut tells you. I wouldn't be able to hold back either, honestly.

  18. Faith1990 #38

    Dear Saartje, I completely understand, girl! It's also nice to have other women here who get it! And it's totally normal to be nervous about your first pregnancy. I feel the same way—every little cramp makes me think, "Oh no, is this okay?" But we just have to try to enjoy it

  19. Saartje2014! started this #39

    Testing again tomorrow!! So exciting, huh? This morning there was some pink discharge, luckily no red blood. Keep hoping xx

  20. Saartje2014! started this #40

    It'll be okay, faith1990! You really need to keep your spirits up...
    I'm so curious about Monday, I just wanted to fast-forward the time
    Having patience is hard right now, but what you said about getting help from you all is good.
