My first 2WW - anyone else?

@kittynoire glad tou got gp sorted. Oh no. I'd be freaking out I have to say if I was bleeding. Try and stay positive though. Easier said than done! I'd say that's a good sign. Are you getting any naps or anything or going to bed earlier? My sleeping pattern is non existent and cannot sleep through the night. I am constantly exhausted. I just get so uncomfortable and irritated at night and can't settle. Ended up on the couch the other night because the sound of my OH breathing was frying my brain. Seem to be always getting cramps at night too due to wind. It's just a nightmare. And now my boobs are aching so I'm even more uncomfortable. This better all settle down as it's really early to be this annoyed and uncomfortable!!

Oh god. Yeah sounds like you had to tell your work! Yeah I think I'm going to after my scan next week. I'm very excited and I think it will feel real then!

Stay positive and keep safe!

@Ducky96 I'm 9 weeks and got GP all sorted thanks Had to call the midwife yesterday as I'd had red bleed for three days and her advice is just to wait and see what happens - because of Covid they won't have me in at the hospital for early scan unless it's heavy bleeding with severe cramping. I'm getting twinges and some very mild period type pains which hopefully is a sign that the pregnancy is developing but on the flip side my nausea has disappeared so I'm constantly bouncing between being positive and expecting the worst...

The only other thing is that I am routinely waking up at the crack of dawn now - this is very out of character for me, I am not a morning person at all and sleeping is quite literally my favourite thing haha! Fingers crossed it's a good sign.

I would tell your work soon too - I told mine 3 weeks ago because they were making all sorts of plans for me and I had to make sure they didn't follow through with them haha. Never imagined I'd tell my boss before telling my parents but here we are!

Good luck with the early scan, let us know how you get on!! How exciting you get to see your little one soon!!

@kittynoire how far along are you again? Hope you are getting on well and got your gp sorted out!

2 weeks today till my early scan. Feels like forever. Then 3rd November for my 12 week dating scan. Very tired and working nights doesn't help. Slept all day yesterday after my shift, up for a couple hours in the evening then sleeping again for 8 and got a 12 hour sleep through the night. Finally managing to sleep through the night now though as spent a good few days waking up and not being able to get back to sleep. Not had any sickness just feel a bit queasy when I get hungry bit goes away after I eat. Bloated and my boobs are starting to hurt. Doing well apart from that. Bit concerned about work as I have a lot of heavy lifting but midwife said not to worry too much as long as I'm doing it properly but thinking about telling work after my early scan as I'll be nearly 9 weeks.

@Paigey92 Congratulations!!! This thread is on a roll for the BFPs! How you feeling?

@Ducky96 @icouldwriteabook how you both getting on?

My update is that I had my booking appt over the phone yesterday - managed to finally speak to someone about the bleeds and she said unless they come with abdominal cramps then they don't tend to worry now so that's put my mind at rest a little bit at least. Now the wait for the 12 week scan begins... I didn't realise how agonising all the waiting would be or how nerve wracking it is, constantly thinking "is everything okay in there".

@kittynoire thank you! It really is a miracle and I'm so lucky.

Just started feeling slightly sick today but just had a few twinges and I'm belly, can't sleep just keep waking up and can't get comfy or settle just feel so agitated. Very hungry, can't stop eating. And extremely bloated, I look about 5 months pregnant. Me and my partner are convinced its twins! We've got an early scan at 8 weeks so looking forward to that.

@Ducky96 Congratulations!!! This is amazing!! How are you feeling - had any other symptoms pop up? (Sorry for delay in response, been really busy this week)

I'm in complete shock! Can't quite believe my eyes here!!

@kittynoire I will by first response on Wednesday to test for thing on Thursday morning. I'm working nightshift the next couple days so that will keep me occupied till then and I'll do it with fmu. I've done a couple of these tests previously and they have all been completely blank so I was shocked to see the little line pop up and it came quite quickly. I am only 1 day late so hopefully it's just early. Fingers crossed!!

@Ducky96 I would say that's the same level of faint positive I got on my first test. It was much bolder the next day and the day after that I got a positive digital. I'd buy the FR or clear blue early response ones now and see how they turn out but I think it's looking promising for you!

@icouldwriteabook omg the broken toe was a twist I definitely didn't see coming! What an eventful time you've had haha! Hope it's not giving you too much trouble.

Yeah I think you just contact your gp surgery and then they say what you have to do. At my first surgery they just gave me a form to fill in and said the midwife would be in touch at some point in the future (helpful). Now I'm registering with a new one I'm not sure if I have to be seen by a dr first anyway.... I've just dropped my forms off and after explaining the situation they were very helpful and said they would speed up the registration process for me. My first experience of a dr's receptionist being polite and friendly - looks like it's a blessing in disguise that the other one gave me the boot.

Wow I didn't even know you could have a scan that early!!! Let us know how it goes! I'm considering getting more tests in so I can just make sure it's still happening as I feel no different at all.

Sorry I haven’t posted for a while - we’ve been in turkey and got back last night.

What a shambles of a holiday my son (20 months) was hard work to say the least, I look about 5 months pregnant?! Not joking, the bloating is ridiculous and I’ve convinced myself it’s twins (the do run in our families but I’m trying not to think of that haha) plus I broke my toe , it was eventful to say the least.

Anyway, hope you’re all okay, have we got any more BFP, testing or AF’s?

@kittynoire doctors (receptionists mainly) can be very rude, they did the same with me when I moved and I’d been with them since birth! One (or 2 now!) less to pay for in their eyes, ridiculous. Hope you find a nicer doctors! I’ve forgotten everything, do I need to go through my gp to be assigned a midwife? I haven’t done that yet. I’m 5*1 I think. I’ve booked a really early scan for 6 weeks on the dot (Sunday) because I’m so anxious! Plus I need to tell work ASAP and I may need to work from home so I need to know everything’s okay!

I done a cheap test this morning that I had in the house. Not been to by first response tests yet. Faint positive. Thoughts? This was second morning urine.

So af was due yesterday. No sign of it. None of my usual cramps or sore boobs. Not testing yet. Been feeling just constantly hungry the last couple days but mega bloated. Tmi but got quite a lot of white creamy cm. Again never noticed if I normally have this. Still not holding out much hope but can only pray! Hope you are all well.

Also I've occasionally had a twitch on my left side that feels like a stitch. Just comes and goes, not sore it's just there but for no reason.

@kittynoire I'm sorry but that's their job and I see no difference it should make to them!! Terrible service by the sound of it. I would be making a fuss to if it was me!

Yeah that's why I'm trying not to stress over it. And would rather wait a few days than be disappointed if its negative. Plus this will be my second period since having my implant out so I'm actually still trying to track what a regular cycle will be for me. So I'm not holding much hope of getting a positive this quickly anyway but you never know. Fingers crossed though!! I wouldn't say I feel different but I definitely don't have the feeling that my period is on it's way. Just keeping everything crossed!

@Ducky96 I know, I've actually been there since birth and I'm 29 now...It's turning into a whole saga because I keep arguing it with them. I know I won't win this battle because I've made a nuisance of myself now but i can't help it - they keep saying I'm further away yet I've proven both addresses are the exact same distance and both a 5 minute drive. Apparently going 5 minutes in one direction is fine but if you go 5 minutes in another I'm suddenly "putting pressure on resources". It just sounds like they don't want another pregnant woman to deal with.

That's what I struggled with too - not knowing if what I was feeling was just normal experiences as I've never tracked my actual cycle symptoms before only my period start dates. I admire your patience with regards to testing!! Hopefully you get that BFP at the end of next week!!

@kittynoire how petty is that! Especially if you've been with them for a while. No need to change it!! Hope you find something soon!

Been feeling a bit queasy the last couple days. But no boob pain, no spotting. A few twinges in low belly and lower back which I very unusual. I get back pain through my job but its higher up and I've been off for a week so its definitely not that. I'm noting it all down so that I know if this is normal and it's just things I don't normally notice but not been stressing myself too much about it all. Due tomorrow so probably test midweek or Friday if it's still not here.

Aww that's exciting though!! It will fly by till your 12 week scan hopefully!

@Ducky96 Out of catchment area by a distance that's so minuscule it's absurd. They could make an exemption if they wanted to but won't and now I've made a nuisance of myself they definitely won't so I'll have to get the ball rolling with registering elsewhere on Monday.

Fingers crossed for you! It sounds promising if your not getting the usual signs that she's about to arrive. Keep us updated! I'm six weeks on Monday - doesn't feel real yet but I think that's partly because I keep telling myself not to get excited as it's still early days. I really need to discuss my on/off bleeds with someone to put my mind at rest.

@kittynoire wow that's strange!! And what was there reason for that?! Yeah I'd say you're definitely pregnant then haha. Congratulations again! How many weeks will you be now?

Yeah I'm not bad. Af is due tomorrow but not got any my usual pains to say it will show up. I will a few days past sunday to test though.

@icouldwriteabook Ohhh I feel for you with the wisdom teeth! This happened to me years ago and ended up getting them all taken out. Fingers crossed you feel better now?!

@Ducky96 How are you doing?

I ended up taking four tests in total and they all said pregnant so I think it's pretty conclusive haha!

Been trying to register with the midwife at my GP today and it took a turn I wasn't expecting as I updated my address at the same time and they surprised me by saying actually their taking me off the list instead and told me to find somewhere else.... Not what I needed right now!

@MrsBmaybeBaby @icouldwriteabook

Congratulations girls!! That's fab!

Sorry for the delay in response. I had a while I needed to get away from the chats, was getting too obsessed and wasn't good.

Still waiting for auntie Flo to be due (1 day) but still feel strange. Weird cold tingly nipples, and the cramps aren't like normal pmt but not getting excited. Super constipated and felt nausea this morning. But could be nothing. Feel like I could be pregnant one minute and not the next. Keep getting super ragey too.

How is everyone feeling?

@Ducky96 I feel horrendous! One of my wisdom teeth has suddenly started trying to come through again (it’s sideways) and the last time it did this I was pregnant with my son! Probably a coincidence but due to being pregnant (weird saying that!) they can’t give me strong pain killers or certain antibiotics, so I’ve just got to have whatever they can give me, and I go on holiday tomorrow! Not to mention I’m knackered.

Apart from the moaning I feel very lucky and it hasn’t really sank in properly yet.

@kittynoire that’s 100% positive! Mine were extremely faint until yesterday, you’ll just be early on! Keep doing them first thing in the morning and they’ll get bolder!

Hope you’re all okay!

@kittynoire I see it. It is faint bit fingers crossed! Give it a couple days and yest again?

@@icouldwriteabook thank you. Seems like a pretty lucky thread anyway!

How is everyone feeling today?

Sorry not sure why that posted twice!!
