11DPO positive - but concerned

208 replies

JDecember21 · 08/11/2024 09:00

Hi all just looking for some advice really feeling very anxious. Yesterday at only 10dpo I got 4 positive tests including one clear blue digital it said Pregnant 1-2 weeks.

then this morning I took a pregnancy test that was extremely cheap (pack of 3) with only a 20ml HCG sensitivity and the line was BARELY visable. This was with first morning urine! So I instantly thought I was having a chemical.

i went to the shop and got a more sensitive clear blue test. And it’s come back positive straight away - but in your opinion is the line colour ok for 11dpo?

As getting mixed signals on the cheap tests - not sure if I should be concerned. A doctor won’t see me will they?

thanks Jess

Good luck with all the scans tomorrow everyone ❤️ let us know how they go xxx

MyPinkFish · 06/12/2024 07:35

Hello ladies, I also have my 1st private scan on Friday 13th, 4.30pm and I should be 9 weeks, based on my last period ☺️ I've got my booking appointment today with the midwife xx

Runsandbuns · 06/12/2024 07:32

@Brownbottle ah you're about 3 days ahead of me - think we are all very very similar which is so nice! And yes feel you on the heavy gravy front- all I want is bread crisps and jacket potatoes 😂. Managed my first event last night which actually wasn't too bad just absolutely exhausted, so won't be as bad as I thought!

@JDecember21 ah so excited to see twin 2 next Friday and glad you're feeling better now. I've been taking b6 and magnesium from the start, so maybe that's why my nausea has been pretty mild!

@sellingupslowhow far along will you be next Friday?

Has anyone had any weird cravings? I am obsessed with virgin bloody Mary's atm, and I've never normally been a fan!

I've booked one more private scan for 20th so if all goes well, we are planning on telling just our families at Christmas 🤗

sellingupslow · 05/12/2024 20:53

Hi everyone!

Lovely to hear all the updates! Friday 13th is gonna be a lucky day!! ❤️❤️

I had a scan today measuring 8weeks exactly - we have a mini gender reveal on Saturday and I needed to make sure everything was ok before we celebrate 🥹❤️

Glad you're all doing as well as possible. I'm feeling completely fine now bar the tiredness (have felt fine since Monday) which is what prompted a scan. I'm also super emotional and cried at the sex scene in the holiday ?? 🤣🤣🤣

@Brownbottle another Friday 13th scan!!! At least there’s 3 of us in the same boat that day 😂 mine is at 8.15 am so I’ll let you guys know straight after an update on the potential twins!!

@Runsandbuns ah bless you I know what you mean!! Although by law they’re not allowed to do anything due to being pregnant through!! However I know what you mean!! Could you use the anti biotic lie? Tbh you can get 0% gin and stuff now too!!

guys I have also started taking Magnesium and B6 since yesterday and it’s REALLY taken the edge off my sickness and actually stopped me from needing to eat every 30 mins something to do with balancing blood sugar so deffo give it a go!!

im trying to stay more positive and just accept the fact that I haven’t got the energy to clean atm, workout or anything else other than work.

i have lots of social plans though over the next few weeks and supposed to be going to Paris in December for my bday and now I’m absolutely dreading it 😂 can’t wait for January to be honest xx

Thanks @Runsandbuns I’m 7 weeks 3 days today (going by last period) and would be 8 weeks 4 days on 13th, all being well.

Sorry you’re so shattered! At least the nausea is manageable ish! Yeah I get the anxiety, I’d just keep a glass in your hand and chuck a bit out when you can, or get drinks which look like alcohol but aren’t - lemonade that looks like G&T?

We have work Christmas dinner next week and heavy dinners with meat and gravy make me feel sick so I’m not sure how it will go! Hard to fake drink when ordering from table so not sure how I’ll do that!

Runsandbuns · 05/12/2024 12:04

@Brownbottle how exciting, you've booked it for next friday!! You should definitely see more than I did by then- how far along are you now?

I'm doing okay, just absolutely shattered. Nausea isn't too bad, get waves in the morning and evening but very manageable. I'm just very nervous for the next few weeks of Christmas parties and drinks, especially with work and client events as don't want them spotting it just yet- as we have some big moves in my company and don't want to get penalised for being pregnant, Need to master the art of fake drinking....

Brownbottle · 04/12/2024 18:36

How’s everyone doing? I have now finally booked my private scan for Friday 13th! Hoping everything is ok and can see baby.

Feeling tired and groggy today, quite a lot of food aversions & think my dinner will either be some chips or a jacket potato…very healthy! How’s everyone’s eating been?

@Brownbottle i have to say I was feeling the EXACT same about the whole not being real thing. Apparently it’s a common thing, but the fact that you’re having symptoms is obviously a good sign. As hard as it is try to ignore that annoying voice in your head! I also have my follow up scan on Friday 13th!

@sellingupslow yes it turns out I do have 2 sets of twins in my family!!!

@Runsandbuns i know!!! I’m now so worried for the 2nd one!! Praying it’s ok and it’s just hidden from view 🩷 trying not to think the worst but now so worried about the other one even though all I ever wanted was one of course! Xxx

at least it explains why I have been feeling so awful recently and struggling so much xxx

Oh my goodness @JDecember21 TWINS!! That's a real turn - keeping everything crossed the 2nd little bean is sticking out too! How exciting!
That would really be an extra special Christmas present 🤞🏻

And thank you all- feeling very happy now I've seen the little thing flicker, feels way more real! Remind me @Brownbottle have you ha da scan yet or will your first be on the 13th?

Nope no scans, first private scan (which I need to book!!) I’d like to have on Friday 13th which I’m hoping will be lucky for me not unlucky! I’ll be 8 weeks and 4 days. I’m praying that by doing it a bit later if all is progressing well then they’ll be able to see heartbeat etc. But I’m terrified the tests are somehow not real and I’ve imagined the whole thing!

I am feeling super nauseous this afternoon so although rubbish I’m hoping it’s good that symptoms are increasing..

sellingupslow · 02/12/2024 14:43

@Brownbottle @Runsandbuns @JDecember21

Omg so much positively on the chat today, what a lovely thing to read this afternoon!!

@JDecember21 omg I bet you're feeling shocked!! Do you have twins in the family? Sorry you couldn't get a proper confirmation but at least they saw a flickering heartbeat and it means you get to go in for another scan soon!

@Runsandbuns what a beautiful scan 🥹 I'm 7+3 today so we're sooo close! Nothing beats the feeling of seeing everything looking ok and being able to breathe a big sigh of relief ❤️

@Runsandbuns so pleased for you, lovely scan image and great you can see heartbeat!

@JDecember21 What a rollercoaster! Must be frustrating that poor visibility is meaning it’s hard to know exactly what’s going on but good to see the little heartbeat! What a surprise on the twin - will cross everything for you and hope it is viable Flowers

@Runsandbuns omg so happy for you that’s amazing!!!! Really relieved for you :) 🩷🩷 you must feel so much better!!

@Brownbottle @sellingupslow

just to give you all an update.

just as I thought visibility was really poor once again due to the shape of my uterus and in the end we managed to see what we thought was a little flickering heart beat and obvs everything else.

However, there is now a 2nd gestational sack in there so there is a twin, but the visibility was so poor that we couldn’t really see what was in there…. So I need to go back in 10 days to see if the 2nd baby is viable or not!

but was nice to see the little flickering heart beat but again it wasn’t very clear which is a shame so we can’t say with certainty that everything is ok but we saw the outline of everything I think it’s just my shape is very hard to see.

head is a little bit all over the place but staying strong !! Pray for twin number 2!! Xx

Morning all- little update- a healthy looking baby (if you can call it that at this stage) with a strong heart rate - measuring at 6 weeks 5 days 🤗 soo happy.

Hope yours goes well today @JDecember21- keep me updated ♥️

Runsandbuns · 01/12/2024 20:35

Hi all, happy Sunday!

@Brownbottle @sellingupslow my symptoms are really mild too, apart from feeling pretty shattered, I've had a few mild waves of nausea that subsides as soon as I eat, so really wouldn't worry- think everyone is different, I'm trying to frame that I'm lucky I am still able to continue with life normally atm(and there's still time for it to hit us...)

@JDecember21 yes my scan is tomorrow morning, I am sooo nervous too- just hoping for it to all go smoothly and can start to feel real. Let me know how yours goes too and hopefully this time tomorrow we will both be feeling pretty chilled... 💕💕

@sellingupslow hey!! Honestly I wouldn’t worry too much about the nausea my symptoms come and go, yesterday I was fine all day not sick at all then today it’s hit me with a vengeance!!

@Runsandbuns your scan is tomorrow too isn’t it? So is mine, don’t know about you but I’m feeling so nervous about it today. Let me know how it goes! Hope you managed to have a nice weekend!

@Brownbottle ahhh yes I did haha it was quite overwhelming but somehow my nausea subsided for the day I think it did me good to get out the house!! Really strange.

I think once I have the 6w 5 day scan tomorrow it may help to make me feel better hopefully!! If I can see for sure that there’s definitely something in there it might help with all these horrible symptoms xxx

Hope you’re feeling calmer now @JDecember21 Did you end up going to Winter Wonderland? I can’t even cope with it there not pregnant

@sellingupslow Glad your scan went well, great there was a strong heartbeat! My symptoms definitely vary a lot day to day and it’s very common to have one day without nausea or a few days and then for it to come back later in week! I’ve read lots of people say this. I’m sorry you’re panicking though, how are you now?

@Runsandbuns when is your first scan? Sorry if I’ve missed, I really struggle to keep track of everyone on these threads!

I’ve had some nausea most days but it’s only at certain points, definitely worse when I haven’t eaten in a while but it’s not that bad at all, kind of like being mildly hungover! Apart from that my boobs have got a bit bigger and they’re a bit sore in morning and evening, I feel a bit more tired but not wiped out really. So I worry I haven’t got enough symptoms and that therefore something’s wrong!

I’m planning to book a private scan Friday 13th (hope not unlucky!!) when I’ll be 8 weeks 4 days, as long as I don’t get any bleeding or cramping until then.

sellingupslow · 30/11/2024 18:09

How's everyone feeling/doing today?

I'm so shattered and emotional but my nausea has completely disappeared and have had nothing since last night so now I'm back to panicking 😭 @JDecember21 @Runsandbuns

Awww @sellingupslow huge congratulations!!! That's such a special feeling and so exciting!
You must be so happy! 🥹🥹

So glad you're feeling better @JDecember21 - a fresh blow dry is always the best kind of tlc! Hopefully you're feeling up to tomorrow eve and will be a good distraction to be around friends.
My OH and I have quite a busy weekend which I'm hoping will tick the time away before our first scan and praying and hoping I get to hear that heartbeat! 💓

Aww @sellingupslow that is amazing news lovely so happy for you!!! Ahh that’s very thoughtful of you 🥺🥺 thank you xx

i am in a much better place though to be honest. The bleeding was literally only happening for about 2 hours and it was extremely light spotting so I’m feeling a lot more optimistic as it’s not continued, and I’m thinking surely if it was something bad the bleeding wouldn’t just stop for like 24 hours surely.

sending lots of love and honestly so pleased for you. I bet it’s feeling a lot more real now??

I can’t wait for that moment, in my head at the moment the baby isn’t actually real until I see it on the scan if that makes sense? Struggling to bond with the baby until I have proof that it’s real 🥺😂

im going to have a warm bath tonight and then treating myself to a hair cut and blow dry tomorrow. Supposed to be going to Winter Wonderland on Saturday with friends but going to see how I feel on the day. Tbh, I have been feeling better actually seeing friends, I always feel worse when I’m in bed?! Xx

I wanted to check you were ok before I shared a pic as I know how hard it can be to see someone else having good news when you're struggling ❤️

sellingupslow · 28/11/2024 19:37

Ah @JDecember21 im so so pleased to hear your update, I've been thinking about you loads today!

I ended up having my scan today with the NHS as they had to reschedule so it was either today or in a week!

Measuring 6+6 which is exactly what I was anticipating and a strong little heartbeat 🥹
