Hi,
ttc1
after almost 10 weeks with no period i finally had a bfp (multiple bfn including blood test before then. Had a scan which measured me a 6w2. The lady said she could see the heartbeat, i'll have to trust her ! wasn't clear to me. Anyway on friday, (7+4), no heartbeat, and it looked as if the fetal pole had shrank. Scanner-man said it was inclusive as it was so early (but my dates are a complete mess). Anyway, another scan this friday to know for sure.
As you can imagine, i have had a bit of a rollercoaster, and want to focus on practicalities of preparing for the worst.
yesterday I have noticed that my bra size has reduced and my boobs are much less tender. I am assuming this is a sign my hormones are reducing. I have zero cramping or spotting. I am pretty much symptomless.
now for the questions:
- I have decided to cancel a work trip to europe this week, as I do not want to risk a miscarriage abroad. Am I overreacting? tbh, this is a meeting i can get out of easily. The problem is a meeting in europe (mon-fri) next week..... but i can wait till the next scan to worry about that.
- how much warning(if any) do you get?
- what supplies should i carry with me at all times? I can not barricade myself at home! At present i have a wad of thick sanitary towels and clean knickers in bag in handbag. Any other discreet items i should arm myself with? Am prepared to hide more stuff in a "gym bag" (change of trousers?). I work 20-40minutes from home by car.
