Good morning everyone. I need a lot of help because I am having an anxiety attack as we speak. My temp dipped yesterday so I thought af today maybe tomorrow. well it popped back up this morning. So I took a hpt Now I am only like 12 dpo but I got a faint bfp which is exactly what happened last time it was faint not quick and bold but slow & faint. Now when I was pg w/ my other 2 it chaged so fast and got so dark & bold.. On top of which I have cramps now w/ 2 healthy girls didn't have any cramps etc but last time w/ b/o cramps. So I am beyond freaked. Maybe I am not pg but mostly I worry that I am and it is another bo.
Help has anyone had cramping that felt like af and went on to have healthy baby?

Hi Kallie, Just wanted to let you know I will be hoping and praying for you to have a true BFP. I know many of my friends have ahd cramping and then a healthy baby, so do not give up your hope! You should call your doctor and get a blood pregnancy test today. Good Luck! Lauren

I called my dr and she is triple booked today and only working until noon. The nurse is going to see if I can go in and have my hcg & progesterone tested. I have an appt to see my dr tomorrow at 11:00. So now I wait to see if I can go in and have the blood drawn.
I am trying to calm myself down and look at things in a positive light but it is so hard. I looked online and did see that there are a LOT of people that have cramping and have healthy babies. It is just hard because I never had that until the bo.
Thanks

Kallie,
I'm one of those who had cramps with both pgs! I can't remember if I had them with my b/o because it came first and I wasn't jaded or paranoid. My friend Staci also had them (I think my experience made her paranoid) and I remember her clearly asking me about that and she also had her baby and no loss. I was told they might be inplantation cramps but I had them off and on through the first 8 or 9 weeks both times (by that I mean with both of my healthy pregnancies). They were actually pretty sharp part of the time, if I remember correctly. I totally understand being scared and worried...every single time I had a cramp I ran to the bathroom to check for blood. All that worry, and it ended up being for nothing. My son is 3 and my daughter is 1.
I hope this one is your happy ending, I'll be praying for you--let us know as soon as you see the dr. Also, with my first one (first child, second pg) I had a very faint line for the first few weeks if I am remembering right. I was really upset about it, and I must have bought 6 or 7 tests until finally some time passed and I got the strong line I wanted.
Do you have a Planned Parenthood nearby? When my line was faint at first I went there to have them test me since theirs are stronger and they told me it looked good.

i just got back from my dr's clinic. They drew a large tube of blood. They are checking HCG & Progesterone. I had low progesterone when they checked me 7 dpo. I feel a little calmer right now but I feel tired. I also think for now my cramps are gone. Plus I don't feel to nauseous right now. I just wish that I could turn my brain off. That is one thing I haven't learned to do. My dh said he refuses to get upset or his hopes up because he said until the clinic says yes you are pg and it is viable he will act like I am not pg.
That does irritate me but I know that is his defense mechanism. I know no matter what he will be there right by my side.
I will let you know how my dr appt goes tomorrow.

Lin I posted it in the pg after bo area. My hcg was 69 and progesterone was 22.5 or 27.5 something like that but they say anything over 20 is good. I go back on Monday to get more blood drawn and for my 1st prenatal visit.
Thanks

I am feeling a little better but I think it is a day by day thing. I think after my hcg keeps doubling and I see a heart beat and feel movement... You get the idea a step at a time will make me feel better.
Thanks everyone for the posts. This is going to be a long journey so I may be having a day or two along the way where I may lose it, but I know I am lucky because I have you caring people to help get through me.
Thanks

I am due 11/25/04 day after Thanksgiving, but I will most likely be having a planned csection so be even closer to your edd. I was wondering where you were!!!!
Thanks Panch. I am actually smiling. And I was thinking of you today when I looked up normal hcg's and it said multiple birth qty too. LOL I thought OMG I will be watching my hcg amts because if there are multiples it is all your fault.
Take care
