My verrrrrry faint line earlier gives me an edd of 27 august so I'm going to straddle the two threads providing I get a strong bfp tomorrow (which I should do!!)

Happy Christmas everyone!!!

Headaches here too put not just the caffeine guys as I don't drink it! So I'm blaming the increasing hCG and knackeredness from the progesterone... Wink

I just moved to a new area and am trying to register with a GP, but because of the letters I need as proof of address it could take me up to 2 weeks! So looks like I'll be 6/7 weeks before I can even call the community midwives for my booking in appointment... Hmm will that be ok do you think?? I don't need another reason to worry!

topmammy · 07/01/2014 07:02

That will be fine HippyJess. The midwives in my area don't even book women until they are at least 8 weeks. I think I'll be around 9 or 10 weeks at my appt.

First day back at work for me and I am not enjoying getting up in darkness! I would really love to go back to sleep.... zzZzzzZzzZz

broodylicious · 07/01/2014 07:04

Hi Jess. When I spoke to GP yesterday, they said the mw doesn't see women before they're 8weeks for the booking in appt. It rings bells as I remember the wait between seeing the GP and mw. Hopefully you'll get sorted soon Smile

HippyJess · 07/01/2014 07:30

That's reassuring, thanks you two :)

Morning All,
I am feeling better this morning, evenings seem to be worse for me, and I am glad I am not the only one with palpitations. Didn't sleep well though,.awake between about 11-1am! also the wifi was down so no mnetting or anything!

My first apt is at about 9 weeks, seems ages away but I guess its so they can be quite sure you are pregnant.

whiteblossom · 07/01/2014 07:36

morning all

tutti you poor thing you are going around the emotional roller coaster! One more day and you can find out, fingers crossed for a sticky bean x
I had a similar blood tesat done yestareday so Im waiting for a phone call to tell me if its ok but Im bit more reassured as the pains on the left have gone now, fingers crossed they stay gone!

Yup palpitations started yesterday, I'd put it down to nerves! Anyone waking up in hot sweats or is my heating on too high?

whiteblossom · 07/01/2014 07:37

Has anyone changed their vits from pre conception to pregnancy ones?

noitsachicken · 07/01/2014 07:40

Hi blossom I had pains on the left all evening and in night. Gone now though. Also very hot in the night!

noitsachicken · 07/01/2014 07:41

I am just taking folic acid.

Metalhead · 07/01/2014 07:44

Morning all! I can't keep up with this thread, it moves so fast!

tutti good luck for tomorrow, if you think
you dtd around 16 Dec then you would only be around 4-5 weeks, so hopefully everything will be ok.

I've also got my doctor's appt tomorrow, will be interested to see when he calculates my due date; seeing as my last period was in October and I didn't ovulate until 18 Dec I'm expecting a lot of confusion!

My boobs are really sore now and I'm quite queasy during the day. Also getting palpitations in the evening, and feeling cold and knackered which I'm taking as a good sign Smile

Had a little go on my exercise bike last night but was really hard work... weather here is awful at the moment
do at least Ive got an excuse for not going running!

Metalhead · 07/01/2014 07:45

I'm now taking Boots pregnancy vits

ThisIsMeNow · 07/01/2014 07:52

Another one here with massive headache this morning. Last time I got them for weeks and weeks so determined not to let it drag on this time. Makes me feel miserable.

Have been feeling ok ish in the day time so far, just crappy at night which to be honest has been easier as it means I can get things done in the day!

Rang the doctors and where I live they just pass on details to midwife who rings to make an app so just waiting for that.

Hope you all have a good day and tutti - stay busy!

Tutti · 07/01/2014 08:39

It's not looking good is it

I just wiped and there was a streak of blood

I am just gonna hide away .... Am soo upset

noitsachicken · 07/01/2014 08:43

I'm sorry tutti try to rest. Can you speak to a mw for advice?

twinkbat · 07/01/2014 09:36

Tutti it ain't over till it's over, try not to worry until then

Had my scan, nothing but they said could easily be because too small. Took bloods and I'll know at 4pm what they want to do next. They made me poas again and it wasn't as strong as they wanted but the could just be that I'd only just refilled my bladder right?

whiteblossom · 07/01/2014 09:49

oh tutti don't go into full blown panic yet, it might be something of nothing, loads of sites say that this can happen at this stage. Can you ring the MW or docs? Feet up xx
twinkbat if you have drunk loads maybe that diluted your pee?

Goodness a few of us are being put through it, huge positive hugs to those that need it.

twinkbat · 07/01/2014 10:06

I'm hoping its that tbh, I got up and got ready for appointment (dh let me sleep in as long as possible) so i peed out everything, then refilled my bladder for the scan on the way in. It literally had maybe 40 minutes in my body before thye tested. I'm holding on to that to be honest.

I,however, must stop googling. Confused

Tutti · 07/01/2014 10:20

Thanks guys xx

Twinkbat holding your hand too ... It's a bit shitty isn't it ? Xx

I just feel so helpless ....

I got my fluffy bichon frise puppy snuggled in bed with me .. At least he is giving some respite ... Dh at work ds back at school ...

HippyJess · 07/01/2014 10:59

Hugs and handholds for Tutti, I've got everything crossed for you xx

Twinkbat that must've been some very diluted pee! So I'm sure you've got no reason to worry :)

I think my vitamins are making me queasy, since I've been feeling a certain type of nauseous most mornings since way before I ovulated! I'm finishing the packet of Pregnacare Conception that I have, I've heard good thinks about Boots brand I think so may move to that...

Hope everyone else is good this morning, I'm officially 4 weeks and got a proper bold positive this morning with SMU, so happy :) still cramping and woozy though, and my boobs are sooooo sensitive!

BexBoo12 · 07/01/2014 11:04

Hippy I take seven seas trying for a baby (it's also for early pregnancy up to 12 weeks) and I have had no side effects at all. Been taking it since coming off pill in October.

Tutti, got everything crossed for you but please don't give up hope xxx

broodylicious · 07/01/2014 11:05

Hugs for you both ThanksThanks certainly puts us through the wringer doesn't it, this pregnancy game?! Fx for you xxx

I have palpitations, sweats at night but feeling cold often in the day, a stitch like feeling down my left side. Glad to know I'm not menopausal or having a heart attack if others are having the same! Xx

HippyJess · 07/01/2014 11:12

Sounds good to me BexBoo, that's what my sister's taking, she's 13 weeks and they seem fine so I'll give them a go :)

TwosaCrowd · 07/01/2014 12:30

I've not started taking vitamins yet, will pick some up tomorrow.

TwosaCrowd · 07/01/2014 12:48

I am taking folic acid though

nataaaaliee · 07/01/2014 12:52
