Dear future moms

I really wanted to share my story with you all because I can hardly believe it myself.
I’m already a mom to 3 kids, though with the same partner. Now we wanted a 4th child, so I stopped taking the pill. So I stopped in June and normally always had a cycle of around 30 to 32 days. What I’ve always had when I stopped the pill was some brown discharge or light pink spotting around ovulation.
But here’s where it gets interesting. On July 9th, I got my period on schedule,
Around July 21st I had some brown discharge, so I thought that was my ovulation, so I did my best on July 23rd. Then I had some more brown discharge. Normally I only get this once, so I thought okay, you can always have some before, around, or after, so no panic.
On August 2nd, there was some light pink blood on my panty liner. I thought okay, this cycle is the one, this is implantation, even though I’ve never had implantation bleeding with my other 3 pregnancies.
On August 5th, I had a blood test done by my GP because I was also going to the toilet every 5 minutes and occasionally felt like I had a bladder infection. She told me that’s very normal in early pregnancy. That evening I was allowed to call for the results, but they were negative. She also told me I should come back later in the week for another blood test because it might have been too early.
Meanwhile, during that week, I really felt pregnant.
Frequent urination, swollen breasts, more little bumps around the nipples,
I also craved fries that week, and an hour later I was so nauseous, with stomach pain and diarrhea. Sorry for the wording, lol. Then I really thought okay, I’m pregnant, it can’t be anything else. Even my intuition told me this.
So on Friday, August 9th, I went back for a blood test and it was negative again. I thought okay, my body played tricks on me. Is this due to popping pimples, or do I want it so badly that I’m imagining all this.
Well, negative is negative, so definitely not pregnant because I had asked how high my hCG was, and it was less than 1, so definitely not pregnant.
I accepted it and on August 11th, my period arrived. I thought, see, your body played tricks on you. So Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday I had my period. On Friday, it was completely gone. But during that time, my belly had already grown a bit, especially after eating, it looked exactly like I was pregnant. I even told my husband to take a look, it really looked like I was pregnant. I said I’ll do something about this belly after my vacation. Anyway, I already had an appointment with the gynecologist for an annual check-up, so on Monday, August 26th, I went to the gynae. Then he saw a black spot and thought, this can’t be right. He immediately asked when I last had my period. I said August 11th. And he said, well, either it’s an early pregnancy or it’s a blood clot. So I went back home with all sorts of thoughts in my head. On Wednesday, August 28th, I told myself that if he already sees something in my uterus and it should be a pregnancy, the test should already be positive. So I took a pregnancy test and indeed, in less than a second, the test was clearly positive. So I immediately called the GP and could go straight in for a blood test. That evening I was allowed to call to see if everything was okay. He said he didn’t understand it either, I have a 32-day cycle and now on day 18 already a positive test. Not that it was a faint line, no, it was already as dark
