Hello 👋🏼

I got a faint BFP yesterday at 10dpo and another one today. I'm going to keep testing over the next few days but fingers crossed it's right 🤞🏼

I've not yet told me partner as I want to be 100% certain so I'm looking for some friends to keep me sane 🤣

I'm not sure if any others will have positives for late July/August yet but I can't wait to meet you all 🥰

@Hollyc07 thanks so much for your message. My dog can be a real pain sometimes when he's unsure and is so sensitive, I'm just trying to not worry until there is something to worry about. Easier said than done though!

Got everything crossed for you, when are you testing?

@rosieb060 so glad it's stopped 👍🏻

Yeah that makes total sense. Will you be able to carry on with your job if you can't have it? I'm so so lucky I've been working from home since March

Morning ladies,

My period is due today so i’ve woken up feeling super nervous, i’ve still had on/off cramps but don’t seem to have any of my other usual period symptoms just yet but we’ll see

@jennaxc i understand your stress about your dog! When i was pregnant with my son i lived with my mum for a few months and her dog started to lay/guard bump! He still goes absolutely crazy when my son arrives, he used to sit next to whoever was holding him! I wouldn’t worry too much as dogs are so adaptable

rosieb060 · 20/11/2020 23:57

@jennaxc it has, which is great 😊

Yeah, it's cos it's not tested for pregnancy. I'm just not comfy with being pregnant and taking it when there's so much not known yet. This might make work very awkward though!

@rosieb060 has the bleeding stopped now?

Ah I've not look much into the vaccine yet. Is it because it's not been tested on pregnant women?

OP posts:
rosieb060 · 20/11/2020 23:39

@jennaxc Exhausted, dizzy often, and out of breath doing normal things! But it will pass and I will be fine.

Also a bit freaked by all of this coronavirus vaccine talk in the U.K. today and so lhaving to tell my manager earlier than I'd want to that I'm pregnant, to avoid having the vaccine

Thank you @rosieb060 ❤️

I will try to think of things in that way. This was totally planned I guess I'm just a little overwhelmed.

How are you doing?

OP posts:
rosieb060 · 20/11/2020 23:20

@jennaxc sorry to hear. Sounds a really tough time!

Can you try to just think one day (or even one hour!) at a time? It's what I'm trying to do and it was reassuring and helpful yesterday when I was bleeding.

Xx

How is everyone today?

I'm having a mini panic about everything. I'm being totally irrational worrying about the changes that are coming, money, even how will the dog react..... 🙈

I let it all out to my partner before and he did his best to reassure me. I guess it's normal to worry but I hope I manage to chill out a bit soon.

@Littleheart5 I hope you're ok and get seen to quickly ❤️

Thanks so much guys, I really really appreciate that. Rang my midwife helpline and they’ve recommended an early scan because I’ve shooting pains in my side so off for that shortly.

whitershadeofpale · 20/11/2020 17:53

@Littleheart5I had a bit of red blood yesterday morning and then brown on and off since then. Only present when I wipe.

I am trying to be positive and take it easy. I think your DH’s response is unfortunately quite common, I think it just hits people sometimes especially at the moment with COVID uncertainty. I’m sure he’ll come round in time.

I hope everything turns out well for you x

Hollyc07 · 20/11/2020 17:52

@Littleheart5 i had this with my first baby, i rang the epu at my local hospital and got an appointment the next day. It can be really stressful but i felt so much better after going and getting reassurance. Have my fingers crossed for you x

Littleheart5 · 20/11/2020 17:09

When I say ‘concerned about it all’ I mean he has said ‘are we able for it?’. A very planned pregnancy, so has thrown me into a total tizzy

Littleheart5 · 20/11/2020 17:09

For any of you spotting, can I ask how frequent it is? I’ve been spotting brown for the last two days, has gradually increased, with a small bit of red in it this evening. Is anyone experiencing the same? Half of what I look at online says it’s fine and has says it’s threatened miscarriage. As DH and I have had a stressful few days where he has said he is concerned about it all, I’m wondering if the stress is making me lost it. I’m trying to lie down and stay calm

Geegee20 · 20/11/2020 10:01

@jennaxc thank you x

Geegee20 · 20/11/2020 10:00

🤞🤞 @whitershadeofpale hopefully that's it! It's scary isn't it.

But also- there's nothing you can do, and worrying will make it worse i think.

Have you got anything nice planned for the weekend?

whitershadeofpale · 20/11/2020 07:44

So I’ve continued to have the smallest amount of brown spotting when wiping but nothing too heavy.

I did a pg test this morning and it’s positive still but no darker than yesterday even though it’s was with FMU and yesterday’s wasn’t. I also did a digital for the first time which said pregnant 1-2 weeks.

My dates from my last period episodes out me further along but I already knew that I must have ov late as we didn’t DTD until a week later, I’m now just hoping I’m not as far along as I’d thought and it’s just been implantation bleeding.

popcorndiva · 19/11/2020 22:10

My main sympton was I was soo hot couldn't even manage a jumper. Now my appetite has gone AWOL and I am exhausted
