Chemical pregnancy symptoms?

Hello everyone,

Im writing because i feel quite down at the moment. I did a pregnancy test yesterday after my FET as advised by my clinic and it was a positive, the line was quite dark and clear so I got really excited.. the thing is I've been having a constant mild pain on the left side of my lower tummy and at times it goes through my back and leg and it does not go away, i do get a bit of ease if I pass wind or if I open my bowels, however it doesn't go completely.

I'm concerned because i had a chemical pregnancy in March and i had a similar feeling however I dont know if has something to do with it or not..

I've been having this discomfort for a while tbh...

Anyone having similar symptoms or Have gone through something similar??

I did a pregnancy test this morning as I was a bit paranoid and it was still positive... waiting until Sunday to do my 2nd official test.

Thank you everyone, is nice to be able to express myself without being judge xxx

If you're still getting strong positives then I'd try not to worry too much. I know people say not to test but I tested every morning. If the lines get darker then you know all's OK. I think if you're anxious anyway there's no harm in doing this. I'm currently 8 weeks pregnant, also have had multiple miscarriages in the past, so every twinge or pain is alarming... However, some can be comforting. I get a little pully stretchy feeling a few times a day, and mild period type pains. I think only if the pain is quite strong should you worry. Try not to worry too much x

It’s so funny even when I’m feeling tiredness or lightheaded, I’m telling myself you are imagining these symptoms!! You know how it feels, I don’t want to have my heartbroken again.... look after yourself, take all your medications on the clock and hopefully after we scan we can relax abit 😘❤️

Hi Nat, please get in touch with EPU, I had pain in my leg when I had an ectopic pregnancy. It's relatively rare (about 2%) but it can be dangerous.I wish you all the best, and that these are just symptoms of a healthy, viable pregnancy! ❤️
