TWW 3DPO!

@JC084 oh I'm so sorry to hear that. It's so horrible. Be kind to yourself and take it easy if you can. xx

@Pandabumbles I've started bleeding this evening so it's not looking like good news.
Gutted to say the least after the highs of the last week. Hope you're doing ok

@Pandabumbles so sorry to hear about that. Sending you love and strength and hope next cycle it works out for you xx

Thanks @AFireAtASeaParks @Mrsttcno1 @JC084 thanks ❤

@JC084 is that with FMU? What brand are they? Some internet cheapy ones can stay faint I think. Could you try with another brand to see if you get a darker line?

After my positive digital last week I've been continuing to test to see the line progression. However, it's still very faint and I don't see much progression.
Does anyone have any good news stories of similar situations, or is it not looking good?

@Pandabumbles I'm so sorry to read. Sending you lots of love

I’m so sorry @Pandabumbles , sending you so much love ❤️ Wishing you all the best on your next ttc cycle xx

So so sorry to hear that @Pandabumbles and fingers crossed for you in your ttc journey! ❤️

Hi girls, some sad news from me, I started bleeding 10 days after my BFP and have had a late chemical/early MC this week. Have been feeling quite sad about it but trying to move forward. We're planning to get straight back to TTC this cycle, so hoping ovulation isn't too delayed and it's true what they say about being more fertile after a loss. Hoping it's just bad luck and we'll have more success next time. Wishing you ladies with BFPs safe and healthy pregnancies xx

@GB91 @Pandabumbles Im exactly the same in terms of ‘getting into’ the pregnancy, I daren’t get myself too excited so between the tiredness, rock hard boobs and stomach cramps I’m trying not to think about it - it’s so difficult not to, though!
Like you say @Pandabumbles its taking it a day at a time!

@Pandabumbles completely understandable! I get what you mean about struggling to 'get in' to it just yet, I am yoyo-ing so much between excitement and nerves! Good idea to get the early scan, I am definitely gonna look more into it as it would feel like a reassurance..12 weeks feels so long away!!x

@GB91 I did get an early scan with DS at 8 weeks, we decided to as I'd had a MMC at 9 weeks before DS and I was so anxious and needed to know if anything was wrong. So we decided to have one again this time as it was reassuring. I found with DS, and same this time, I can't "get in" to the pregnancy this early and feel quite anxious...just have to ride the wave of it and wait for each day to pass!

@AFireAtASeaParks it's hard to know what to do with work, if I keep feeling this tired and brain-dead I'm gonna tell them just before my midwife apt, they should then just be able to give some consideration to any pregnancy related issues so I think I'll feel less pressure if I'm not on top form!

@Pandabumblesnice to have the early scan booked, did you do that with your other pregnancy? Id love to book one but my other half thinks it will be fine to wait till the 12 week one 🤷 I might look into it a bit more!

My midwife appointment not until 9.5 weeks! 22nd Sept. Glad I've got early scan booked in between! :)

@Mrsttcno1 all ok thanks! I've not really had any symptoms (which I'm trying not to over think!) apart from metallic taste, which i don't think I had last time. Every pregnancy is different I guess!
@AFireAtASeaParks lovely to see progression! I'm going to try and avoid testing... will see if it works!

Just got my appointment sorted for 7 September 😁
Will need to leave work early and debating whether I should tell them the real reason! 🤔

The exhaustion is another level! @Mrsttcno1 I wish I was in that pattern, as it's so hard to work, my brain doesn't really function, then from 2-8 I have energy, then sleepy again! I feel like I will have to tell work sooner than I wanted just because I feel so spaced out of it, like my brain isn't functioning at times!

It's annoying that the processes are different in each area, as I called GP and they put me through to the midwifery dept and it was booked then, I am grateful though, my apt is booked for sept 14th and I fly to Italy on the 15th for a holiday, not ideal timing! Hope you both get your appointments sorted soon!

Oooh @AFireAtASeaParks I'm not sure how it works but I think adding 2 weeks to the clearblue is right, if you ring the gp maybe they would be able to help you,maybe a blood test would bring up more accurate results?

@GB91 @Mrsttcno1 I'm so glad it's not just me who is exhausted! I struggle to stay awake past about 5pm, but am waking up super early which is frustrating! We also have lots of work to do in the house, painting and so on, so that's taking up lots of my time... but today is a day off to go shopping... and maybe put my head inside mamas and papas, just for a look!
Happy everyone else is doing well and either appointments booked or it's in motion😁Been trying to figure out as well, if it says 2-3 weeks the midwife would say I was 4-5 weeks, is that right, as they usually count two weeks back? (Even though my last period was 13 June due to an irregular cycle?)

Exciting @AFireAtASeaParks hope your scan goes great! X

@GB91 eek first midwife appointment booked! I rang my GP a few days ago and they said someone would get in touch with me to get my first app booked in so I’m just waiting for that! I totally feel you with the exhaustion although I’m the other way around, I wake up at 6am no problem and full of energy until about 2pm, then need a nap! The last 3 days I’ve finished work at 3pm and slept until 5pm, woke up and walked the dog, made tea and then went back to sleep at 8:30pm until 6am again! Xx

@AFireAtASeaParks lovely to see that 💖

Its starting to sink in a bit more now, but I am feeling soooo exhausted, like I'm struggling to function before 2pm most days, and getting headaches and hot flushes randomly. All new to me so hopefully it's all normal and settles down soon, maybe wishful thinking? Have my first midwife apt booked for next month at 8 weeks, feels like ages away!!

Hopefully everyone is doing okay!?x

Hi! Been at work this week for A Level results day (and all the prep beforehand!) but this morning did a digital test finally and this popped up! Booking a Drs appointment today for next week and have an early reassurance scan booked for 23 September 😁 After that we’re telling parents and siblings, but keeping it quiet for everyone else til the 12 week scan which should be around 13 October 😊 How is everyone else doing?

@Pandabumbles @AFireAtASeaParks @GB91 how is everyone doing? Xx

@Pandabumbles it's good you called them though! I have a GP appointment booked for next Tuesday (for another reason but now this takes over) and I am wondering if I need to let them know beforehand what the appointment is about?
I'd love to book a private scan too, going to see how things go and consider it! It is hard not to worry and especially if you have been through a MMS before, but hopefully all will be okay this time around x

I called about making a booking appointment with midwife this morning, they were like "fill in the online form and will send you a letter"! Don't know why but that felt like an anti climax! Ha
We've booked a reassurance scan when I'll be 7 weeks 4 days... we had a MMC before we had DS so just want to know if everything is OK or not at earliest chance. I'm feeling quite anxious but need to remember it's a day at a time!
I'm in two minds about telling anyone else, one of my good friends is pregnant with twins i might share with her to share the load!

@Mrsttcno1 Oh god me too! 😬 I’m going to wait until Friday to do the digital how many weeks test to make sure AF is definitely not coming!
I might make an appointment next week as we go away next Thursday for a long weekend so want it confirmed before then!
@GB91 Thank you so much! I know I feel so excited and like I want to share but at the same time I need to let it sink in before I start telling people! Luckily I don’t drink but I have two friends of the same age (28) who are currently expecting so it might be nice to chat to them about what to expect!
