4 weeks 4 days

Hi all! I'm 42 and just found out I'm pg yesterday. My period was due on Saturday (Oct 18th) and I started spotting on the 19th. I have been spotting everyday since. I have had symptoms of being extremely exhausted, starving, and nauseous if I don't eat. Also nauseous if I eat too much too fast because I was starving. :-) oh and my boobs are tender but not sore like they are before my period. I Have been too scared to test because I have had two other miscarriages in the last 18 months. But after yesterday's bout of nausea I went to the Dollar Tree and bought some tests. A visible line showed up even though it was halfway through the day. I have also been experiencing some very mild cramping the last few days. All of these things seem to be normal when I look them up on the Internet. People say it could be implantation. However this morning I did another pregnancy test with my FMU and the line was seemingly fainter than yesterday. all week long I have felt like my period is just going to start tomorrow. Always pushing tomorrow to the next day. Has anyone else experienced this? It's just so hard to feel secure in a pregnancy with past miscarriage history.

Good news! I finally stopped spotting, at least so far today. Every day this week I found brown blood when I wiped and nothing today. Also, my symptoms seem stronger... breast pain/tenderness increasing, starving, and exhaustion. I'm just going to ignore the cheap Dollar store test and keep on being pregnant and happy until I have a reason not to! :)

Of you really don't want to see a Dr for some reason I would use a frer instead of a dollar tree test. Spotting can be normal this early however you need to be aware of an ectopic also. The only true way to know what's going on either way is to have hcg testing done. Hope it works out for you...
