So last week I decided to do a test as I was 5 days late. I’d just put it down to how stressful my job gets around Christmas, but I had that little voice in the back of my mind telling me to take a test so I did & it was positive. In disbelief, I took 6 which all came back positive.

I told my husband when he got home from work & again he needed to see for himself so we took another 4! All positive! If you go off my last period I’d be 5-6 weeks at the time, but according to the clear blue digital tests I was 2-3.

The following day I rang my GP like instructed & they just said I don’t need to contact them anymore, I just refer myself to the hospital? Which has sent my anxiety through the roof! I did, I referred myself. Today (1 week & 1 day since those tests) we had our “first stage’s appointment”. I just felt like such an imposter.

My mind is running wild as I’ve not had it properly confirmed other than home tests. I know I’m probably just being stupid & it’s too early really for obvious signs or even symptoms. In fact my husband is showing more symptoms than I am!

My husband also wants to tell our parents asap for support etc, but I can’t help but think “what if my body is just playing tricks on me because my job stresses me out?” I don’t want to get anyone’s hopes up.

Has anyone else felt this way?

I know people say it doesn’t sink in until you see that scan & I get that… but surely they would have had it confirmed by a doctor before the first scan?
