Question by ShrinkyDink: How many pregnancy tests did you take before your 1st appointment?
33f, not quite 5 weeks pregnant and have this overwhelming fear of miscarriage, even though this is my first pregnancy. My first appointment is not for another month. I have an urge to constantly take pregnancy tests to make sure the baby is still there. Does everyone feel this way, or do I seriously have issues?
Please don’t say anything mean to stress me out. I really want this baby.

Just try not to stress this will make it worse. Everything will go well. Most people normally have a appointment around 8weeks. As long as your taking your folic acid and only eating food you are allowed you should be fine. Just take care of yourself, and then your body will take care of baby.
I only took one test a day after missed period., i was only faint positve but definithly positive
You can test positive for a good week after you lose the baby and before you know anything is wrong. You can test positive even after you start bleeding with a miscarriage.Why bother?
Stop stressing yourself out, there’s no rational reason your body should fail your child, or that the baby should not be viable. Stress is the number one cause of early miscarriage.
Get on with your life and stop freaking out, you’re only making things worse.
Every woman wonders, but you have a choice of either driving yourself nuts and causing problems, or making the purposeful effort to stay busy and keep your mind on other things.
i took 5 over 2 days then went to the doctor for a blood test the following day
good luck and congrats
I only took one test and that was my positive one. Everyone else, from what I read, on here takes like 5 lol. If you aren’t having any red bleeding and no sever abdominal pain everything should be fine.
I took about 5. And no you aren’t crazy.We all feel this way when we find out were pregnant:)
I was the same exact way. I had a miscarriage last Feb and then found out I was pregnant in August so I was worried I was going to lose this one and kept taking pregnancy tests! I think I took about 10 before my 1st appointment. At my 1st 8 wk appt after they confirmed I was pregnant I was like ” well I guess I can stop taking tests now” and the doctor just kind of laughed. It’s totally normal to be nervous but just try and relax, start taking a pre-natal vitamin and Im sure everything will be fine!
only took one for me
