Just got 2 very very (very very very) faint lines. The magical due date doo-dah says 3rd Oct is the magic number. Who knows? It could all go tits up still, but if you, like me, suspect you might be in the early stages it would be nice to chat.

I'll start the list shall I?

makes that sounds really scary, I'm so sorry you're feeling rubbish and keeping everything crossed for you. Flowers

officelady Grin very funny indeed and congrats. I'm not going to the docs for another couple of weeks, as it's second time around for me I get the idea that they don't see you half as much anyway.

No symptoms here just bloated. Exactly the same as my first pregnancy except I feel the size of a hippo already!

welcome and congrats mum2kiss,

Cakebaker I'm the same I've only known for about 10 days but I'm so bloated, I've put on about 4lbs already, hoping its just water retention, my boobs have doubled in size, I'm almost willing the morning sickness to come. (gonna regret saying that in a few weeks).

Hi all... Can I join? congrats to everyone on the bfps!

I got a faint bfp yesterday at 10dpo. I have been so sick since 2dpo that I wasn't even surprised. I didn't even think it was possible to feel sick so soon...I was very sick on DS (he's 2 this month) up till 22 weeks, in and out of hospital the lot. Due to the fact that I'm spending my day retching already looks like I'm heading the same way this time.

I'm wondering if people can advise....I have 42 day cycles. My last period was 25/12 but I know I didn't ovulate till 20/01....depending what website I use to calc due date I'm getting either 2/10 or 15/10 as due date...does anyone know do hospital take long cycles into account...or are they gonna tell me I'm 6weeks pregnant at 12dpo? Shock

mum2kiss · 31/01/2014 20:31

polly they will.do a dating scan around 10-12 weeks gestation and will tell you your most accurate due date then

Pollywhatshername · 31/01/2014 20:43

Thanks kiss, that's what I was thinking. I'm high risk pregnancy this time cause last pregnancy was undiagnosed IUGR. Consultant said to go for an early scan @ 8weeks to get a good starting point for monitoring growth....so I dunno now if that's in 2 weeks or in 4 weeks.?

DuggiWontSleep · 31/01/2014 20:50

Hi ladies!
Been lurking for a few days and have now plucked up the courage to post! I got a bfp on Monday night-very excited but scared too. I can't copy and paste on my phone so could somebody add me to the list please.

Fingers crossed for you Makes xx

bumpbangbump · 01/02/2014 08:06

So much love going to makes right now!

Welcome one and all. Looks loke October is going to be a busy bus.

Still feeling a bit queasy and dizzy at times but it doesn't seem to be getting worse. I should be pleased but as some of you said earlier, the crazy symptoms are so reassuring! I'm trying not to get too excited but I just can't help it. Even looked at baby names yesterday! Oh dear...

makesamesswhenstressed · 01/02/2014 08:10

Still cramping and losing clots now so I think it's over. I'm sure you'll all understand that I'll be hiding this thread now. I wish you all the best with your pregnancies. Love and luck x

Good luck for the future makes. So much love to you!

mum2kiss · 01/02/2014 08:36

Are any of you planning to have your pregnancy confirmed at the docs? If so when are you going ?

mrsb87 · 01/02/2014 08:58

Hi mum2kiss, this is my first pregancy so I'm really unsure about the procedure for doctors appointments etc. I think I will try and book one for next week sometime. I think I will be about 5 weeks by then

bumpbangbump · 01/02/2014 09:00

Been to the doctor, they don't confirm it at my surgery but did give me a prescription for folic acid, higher dose.

Last time round I didn't have anything with doctors or midwives until after my scan, I think there were rather a lot of expectant mothers at the same time. This time I referred to the hospital straight away and got my letter saying my booking in appt is next Friday. I'll only be 6 weeks!

BexBoo12 · 01/02/2014 09:07

Popping over from September thread to send hugs to makes SadThanks xx

How's everyone else doing? Hope you don't mind me popping my head in all the time, I just like to see all the ladies joining that have had their bfp!! How you all feeling?

sophspot · 01/02/2014 09:41

Mean87 I'm the same not really sure so I'm going to ring doctors nxt week for an appointment. Think I'm 5 weeks.
