Only 6DPO and I feel like I’m going crazy! Anyone else with me?

Oh @willow2021 I am so sorry to hear that. On the other hand I just saw my dr today (cause my hubby has a stupid allergy) and told her I am pregnant and she asked if i am bleeding and I said no but told her I have cramps and she said light cramps and light spotting is normal but if the cramps are bad to go to the hospital. I don't think this is a MC

@willow2021 I think if your line is getting darker it is really a positive sign :) wishing you luck x

Im not taking anything as I havnt had any previous losses.. should I?

No previous losses this was our first time trying and first time pregnant and really not going to how I imagined it would be. Its really a tough one. I keep being realistic in that its gone on for a few mornings now but then I feel guilty about giving up hope if there is something still hanging on. This is so much worse than the 2ww I think they wait till I cant get a scan and see a heartbeat. Its not so much red.. more pink light bleeds nowhere near my periods and it comes out when I push (bowl movement) then might have tiny bit spotting for an hour after then the cycle repeats in the morning. So emotional draining

@willow2021 strong positives on a test is a good sign. Is it red blood? It may be due to something else. Are you able to get your hcg checked with a blood test at all? I’m sorry but I can’t remember if you’ve had previous losses? I’m so sorry you’re going through this but please don’t lose hope yet. Are you taking anything like aspirin or progesterone any other drugs to help with the pregnancy?

I know it’s so hard with not knowing what’s going on in there xxx

@Cafeaulait27 i think I am 5 weeks today. Its really annoying as the spotting/light bleed happens in the mornings and then nothing all day or night. They advised scans to be only done minimum 6 weeks other than that there will just be an empty sac which isn't any reassurance to me other than its not an ectopic which to be honest I don't think it is, as I have no pain. And my pregnancy sticks line are still getting darker and pretty much take over the control line now. This has been the longest few days of my life. If this little poppy seed stays strong and stays put ill be sure to let them know all the worry they put their parents through...

Hey @willow2021 sorry to hear you had another bleed. How far along are you? Any chance you could have a scan? Xx

@Horehound I’m so sorry to hear that, but glad you’re getting a scan tomorrow. Let us know how it goes xx

@oannic I'd say lighter last two days. Also Alot if the times it wouldn't actually be on a pad but more when I wiped there was like a blob of blood on the tissue.

But yeh I fully expect it to be a chemical pregnancy anyway but weird the test isn't any lighter than the others I don't think. But also not darker...

Early pregnancy called me back and said I can go in tomorrow where they will do a scan and take my blood then likely take more blood two days after that.

I had another light bleed this morning after 2 days of nothing. Im really starting to get fed up and wish if it was a MC that it would just come on faster or with pain at least so I know for sure what it is. My tests are still getting darker and have such bad nausea today

@Horehound, the bleeding didn't stop at all these days? is it like a period? According to an article on healthline, the test can remain positive up a few weeks after mc :(

I'm still bleeding. I've taken tow more tests both still show faint lines but my hope of them getting stronger hasn't come to pass. Silly really as I know there's no hope.
I had called the early pregnancy care team who had told me to do another test but I am surprised HCG llis still high enough to show on a test because I originally tested at like 7dpo to get the positive and then 9dp started bleeding and that was like five days ago or something so I'd have thought it would have come down quickly hmmm

Thank you, girls! I feel already better.

I also hate this wait! Especially now with the lockdown.. is not like we can do anything to take our mind off a bit.

@Stardust89 that doesn't really sound like an ectopic. I wouldn't worry.

I also feel tired-ish.. yesterday evening I was really destroyed. Today, considering the weather I guess I am normal. I am happy that tomorrow I go again to see how high is my hcg level, if it doubled then I can relax.

Try not to worry (I know easier said than done and I am too lol) I haven't had any boob pain or tenderness this time, just much bigger boobs 🤷🏼‍♀️

I peed on an OPK lastnight just for something to do 😂 didn't want to waste any more good tests. Going to buy the digital CB tests though and do one this week and one end of next week as feel like it's so long before I get to see the Midwife or have a scan!!

@oannic mine have mostly gone away too and that was my strongest symptom, I’m 5+4 today. From what I’ve read symptoms come and go so don’t worry. Sometimes I feel so tired it’s like I’ve been drugged but other times I feel fine. It’s such a long road to 12 weeks!!! 😫

Morning,

Called the doctors they can't get me in until I'll be almost 10 weeks! This is going to be a long wait and on top of that My partner can't come I have to go alone 😥.

@oannic mine aren't as sore today either. I do keep getting a pain like below my ribs, above my belly button, not sure if that's normal, and now I'm worrying about ectopic, but thinking it's too high up for even that. It's probably the way I've lay or something. Think I might make sure I meditate otherwise I'm going to be obsessed, lockdown makes the waiting and symptom spotting worse.

Morning girls, how are you all doing?

I am a bit scared now cause my main symptom, the breasts tenderness went away today. They still are bigger than usual but don't hurt. I read that it's normal for symptoms to come and go and I try to relax but still I worry a bit.

How are your symptoms going?

@Stardust89 🤞🤞😘

I downloaded that app a few days ago and it's really good! One of my close friends has used it her whole pregnancy and is due any day now.. not that she knows about me yet 🤭

@Tamz000 sounds positive!

I've started using pregnancy + app it shows you what the baby could look like! Saw a YouTuber recommend it so thought I'd check it out.

Need to stealth call the gp tomorrow without the stepson hearing, I couldn't see a self referral form.

I've barely been sleeping, woke at 1am and just kept thinking and thinking I couldn't relax.

I'm now watching one born every minute. Might regret it in a few minutes haha x

Right? I like it also.. and yes!.. so many things happening!

@oannic Awww really enjoyed that video, thank you for sharing! Crazy how much happens in such a short time isn't it (but will feel like forever waiting for a scan or telling my mum!)

@oannic No usually tender boobs day or 2 before and mild cramping also day before but that's it really. It was just the mini electric shock like pain I got yesterday that made me go OHH! Just something I've never experienced. Will find out soon one way or the other :) xx

I don't know if we are allowed to post links here.. but this is a cute video showing what happens in the 1st trimester, so @1boo1 the tiredness so early is normal.

@1boo1 I haven't tested again but Tuesday I am going to have blood test again to see if the hcg has increased. I also feel exhausted although last night I slept better (I am up since 6 am). I do feel a bit off.. Maybe is also the lockdown combined with the hormones that make me sad :(

@Tamz000 the breast tenderness is a good sign! xx Do you have lots of symptoms when you are pmsing?
