Yay on the good news fizz and lamb
Thousands of you with no symptoms don't worry last time I had no symptoms I could have been one of those ladies giving birth who did not know she was pregnant so don't worry about it every pregnancy is diffrent.
This time though night sweats, metal taste, feeling sick, moody, tired, cramps I think that's it my brain forgets ....

coffeenut · 13/05/2015 01:04

chips first shag ever Shock oh no wait you have a dc already Wink

Great news fizz!! yay for heartbeats. I'm a veteran at this and still get freaked out thinking there's something with a heartbeat already inside me! I don't tend to get more than nausea (no vomming) - but it is worst at 6 -15 weeks for last two pregnancies.

TBh I dont know if I'd pay to have an early scan. They estimated that I miscarried at 8/9 weeks (but it wasn't picked up until the 12 week scan) so an early scan at 6/7 weeks would have bee reassuring but probably more awful in the end? I don't know.

Ok stats (thanks mummy, you star)

Hi I did a test yesterday & I'm 5 weeks, due January 11th. Totally unplanned but I'm thrilled. First time for us. Just feels too good to be true so I'm trying not to get too excited in case of mc but I don't know how you don't get excited, it's all I can think about. I'm actually abroad with my partner in America until around my 14th week which worries me a bit because of booking in and scans etc. going to try and call doctor to see if week 14 is acceptable time span for everything. Not easy with 8 hour time difference!

TeaandCake91 · 13/05/2015 05:57

Thanks all for the congratulations, we really are delighted. We were on the road to ivf and seriously considering adoption so can't quite believe our luck. Just keeping our fingers crossed tight that this part is less stressful and trying not to test obsessively

kep1979 · 13/05/2015 07:26

Just checking in, had pointless appointment with very unsympathetic doctor although he had v irritating sympathy face on grrr Basically will not refer me to be under EPAS service as "you've only had one miscarriage" and told me that i need to just chill out as what will be will be. Grrr. I just needed some reassurance but left feeling like i was just being silly!

Anyway, going to go on hols as planned, keep everything crossed i don't have Mc whilst there (although according to GP "you can just claim on your insurance if you do"!!!!) and then book scan for when we are back, by which time i'll be 7 weeks.

Still weeing on sticks to see progression, got 2-3 weeks on cb digi which feels like a milestone as last time it took a long tim to get one (loads later than i am now) and i never got 3+.

Symptom-wise my boobs appear to be growing but still not painful which is weird as they were agony last time. Having the odd twinge, and bout of nausea, but the main things are massive fatigue, not being able to go back to sleep once i'm awake in the morning, and having suddenly developed a massive aversion to the smell of vinegar!

STATS (let me know if i've missed anything!):

Age: 36
Dc: 2 from previous marriage

Hi Australia, snap, we are EDD buddies. Congratulations.

mrsfaz, I'm no expert, but a friend of mine who was unlucky enough to lose 2 babies, was really ill with both of them and fine as dandy with #3. Maybe it's a good sign?

I have waves of nausea but less now than a week ago. Hope that's a good sign!

CarrotVan · 13/05/2015 07:32

I think I may be out - red bleeding and cramps. Off to EPU self referral. Never experienced this before.

coffeenut · 13/05/2015 07:41

oh shit carrot Sad I hope it's nothing x

CarrotVan · 13/05/2015 07:59

At 6+2 I doubt they can do much anyway. 2015 is not a good year. Plus mrVan is being emotionally crap. It's not at all real to him until he feel kicks and he's useless when I'm upset.

goodnessgraciousgouda · 13/05/2015 08:10

Massive crossing of fingers for you Carrot - I've seen others have bleeding and for it to turn out to be some sort of tear in the uterus where the foetus is growing (and totally harmless).

I know what you mean about mrvan - but I'm sorry he isn't being more supportive.

coffeenut · 13/05/2015 08:20

to be fair I think it is difficult for them to understand it's real when there are no outward signs (DH is same). However mrvan needs to be supportive right now!! xx

A lot of women do have small bleeds early on & still have successful pregnancies. I really hope it is nothing serious.

CarrotVan · 13/05/2015 08:27

I've had blood taken at urgent care and am first in when the EPU opens at 9am. I'm not confident at all.

headlesschicken247 · 13/05/2015 08:37

Sorry to hear that carrot. Hope it's not bad news x

crumble74 · 13/05/2015 08:48

Best of luck carrotvan, I hope all is ok. Thinking of you.

bearchomp · 13/05/2015 09:29

Thinking of you carrotvan hope everything is ok.

Azquilith · 13/05/2015 09:44

Hope you're ok carrot xx

CarrotVan · 13/05/2015 10:15

Looks like my HCG levels are very low and there's only minimal signs of gestational sac growing (around 5 wks) so more blood tests on Friday but basically I'm out.

Good luck to all of you

BlueEspoir · 13/05/2015 10:16

Thinking of you carrot and keeping everything crossed xx

coffeenut · 13/05/2015 10:24

Carrot I'm so sorry to hear that Sad. You've had such a crappy time lately, it's just not fair. Be kind to yourself & I hope your dh can be there for you too.

goodnessgraciousgouda · 13/05/2015 10:28

Carrot - I'm so sorry. Make sure your dp knows how much you need him right now. xxxxxx

Joey0805 · 13/05/2015 12:18

Carrot, all our thoughts are with you; so sorry to hear this. Take care of yourself xxx
