June 2014 (earliest of early days yet!)

[wispaxmas]

I decided to take a peek into the antenatal club threads, but there's no June thread yet, although for good reason.

I may be jinxing myself here, but after a couple very very faint positives on ICs for the last couple days I got a positive on an FRER this morning, so thought it would be safe to start one up.

Of course, still early days, but if it sticks my due date will be 3-5 June, depending on several websites.... What can I say, I tested early!

I hope someone comes to join me soon. There have to be some more recent BFPs....

Thanks Gilly I'm too scared to do the digital test as it should come up with 3+ and I'll know that I'll freak out if came up with anything less!

I've bought some super drug pregnancy tests so I'll be doing that tomorrow with FMU.

Does anyone know how long the HCG hormone remain in your body if you are miscarrying?

So sorry, I should've posted that question in the other thread!

Sorry, Daisy and Lucy, hope to see you on a future ante-natal thread!

Was working all day, forgot to eat enough, now I feel blah but too knackered to cook. Oh well, ten minutes feet up then we'll see.

I got the letter for my appointment today!!! Just as I'd hoped and by very lucky coincidence it is on my birthday, which means I get to take a half day at work and hopefully see a pic of bebe at the same time! We're going away for a romantic weekend the day after and I couldn't have enjoyed it if I'd had the appointment the week after.

I'll be 8 weeks then so I should see a wee heartbeat.

Thanks for checking up on Bridget. I've sent you a pm xxx

Meant to say thanks for checking up on me - duh!!

Where do you live bludger? That's quite early to have a scan isn't it?? Or is it? I don't know to be honest.. This is my first and I'm clueless!
Wondering because I'm hoping for an early one too! To settle the nerves!!!!!!

When I saw my doctor this week she arranged a midwife appt for me on 23rd when I will be 7+2 (although the doctor believes I will be 8+1 at that point... But she's wrong and I'm definitely right! )

She then said "you will also receive a letter to confirm your first scan around the same time"

Now in hindsight I can't work out whether she meant I will get a letter SOON to conform a scan which will be around the same time as my midwife appt... Or whether she meant around the same time as my appt I will also get a letter (meaning the scan will be later...!?) lol... Confused!

Just want to know when I will have a scan!!!

Gilly The letter says I will probably have a scan at that point, the whole thing is supposed to take two hours - I'm not sure they'll see much on the early scan they booked me in for next week, as since I'll only be 6+1.

I'll be 8+3 on the booking day BUT my LMP was 12th of August so they might assume I'm 10+3 - similar situation to you!

Hi Gilly, here in Somerset (and most places I think) we get a dating scan at 12 wks with anomaly scan at 20 wks. They can offer an earlier scan if you are higher risk, ie previous MCs, bleeding, etc. at about 8 wks.
Personally, I'm getting down on my knees to beg for an early scan!

So do they normally do a scan at the booking appt? I'm confused!

I want a scan!

My GP said the booking in appt would be with the local midwives, but the scan would be at queen Mary's hospital in sidcup. I'm anxious that I still haven't heard from the midwives and I go to Paris on Thursday! I was really hoping they would have a chance to see me before I go, but likely no dice.

Gilly, I will have a booking in with community midwives around 7 weeks and if I don't beg hard enough for an early scan, the RUH, my local big hospital, will send through a dating scan date for 12 weeks. I will have a neucal test too, not sure if this is because of my advanced years...

Time really does stand still!

Gilly, the booking in appointment is with the midwives where they take medical history, blood pressure and blood tests. It should last around 1hr.

The 12 week scan is carried out at the hospital.

I hope that this helps.

My appointment lasts about 2 hrs, and is with a Dr. at the local maternity outpatient ward of the hospital.

Ah ok that's exactly what I thought would happen!
2.5 weeks til my booking in appt then... Counting down the days! Then it should only be a few more weeks til 12 week scan.

Hi, may I join? Just got my BFP today!! Due date is 14th June which will be DD's 2nd birthday.. my body obviously enjoys getting pg around this time of year as we have been ttc since Jan :)

So exciting!!

Hello all. I have just found out I am pregnant with our third baby (eek!) very very unexpectedly- had copper coil. Apparently they can a) wear out b) fall out, and c) you need to get them checked out every year to make sure they are in the right place. I knew none of this! But now the initial shock has worn off, we are so excited and I can't wait to tell our two sons the news when I am a bit further along. They are 5 and nearly 9 and have been on at dh and I for aaaages for a baby. Or a puppy. They weren't that bothered which.

Had Hyperemesis with both of them so am hovering nervously around the HG support thread, no sign of any sickness yet which is good as it started in week 5 with both of them, and at 5 + 4 now I don't even feel queasy yet which is a revelation to me!

Hope everyone is feeling fine and staying positive. Only real symptom here is a case of gigantanork and boy are they tender. Went for a run earlier in the week and ouch! xx

PS I love the list, can you add me please for 4th June? Sure it will change but that's what I think it should be (based on my very shoddy data, not really remembering when my last period was let alone when it starter)

I feel sick

Squid - sorry to hear that but it must be great to have a pregnancy symptom? I've no symptoms whatsoever :(

I just POAS and it I saw the a big bold +ve :) Getting very paranoid as my blood results weren't the best.

Hi to the newbies.

Morning London !
Glad you got a nice big positive! What's the next steps for you then based on your bloods? What has the doctor said?

I'll be sailinginto week 6 tomorrow and still haven't really had any symptoms except for sore boobs on and off! Oh and feeling more tired earlier in the evenings... Been falling asleep quite early!

6w today!

Morning Gilly :)

They've booked me in for a scan on 18 October. I should be 7+2 by then. I wish it was sooner but the midwife said absolutely not.

I didn't have any symptoms when I was pregnant with DS until I was 6 weeks pregnant. Your symptoms are looking positive. Will this be your first child?

How are you feeling tiny? You're a week or so ahead of me!
Symptoms?

Yes it's my first London

Well that's good news! Your scan isn't too far away and you can test as much as you like up until then if it makes you feel better... I would!!!!!

Maybe your body was being a but slow at producing hcg?! You're obviously still getting BFPs and you haven't had any bleeding have you?
I think you'll be just fine. Fingers crossed anyway
