Hi just got my bfp! I'm early, 3 days before AF was due so not sure if I'm the only one with an August due date?

I'm due August 3rd Smile

& thank you!💖

Good Luck Christine! Will be keeping my fingers crossed for you.
Jw I have got my first scan next Thursday, fingers crossed I will be able to relax after that. I've certainly got more symptoms this time. Although I'd be happier if I was actually being sick (that's the strangest thing I have ever said!!)

Jw thank you for that kick up the bum Grin was definitely needed! I know things have every chance of being ok but it's hard to believe sometimes. But I have a good feeling about everyone else on this thread! Bet you're all fine 😊

Jw35 · 12/12/2015 09:53

Good luck today christine Smile
Totally mrs1986 every time I feel nausea I'm like 'yay'! Haha! I've had it but only very mild and it's gone away again. I wish I was sick as a pig! Fatigue is my worst symptom at the mo! Can't do anything lol

I'm with you on the fatigue.
I am feeling a bit of nausea mostly in the evenings, but have had some this morning. I am completely put off brushing my teeth as it makes me feel so pukey!!
So unlike me as I'm a 3 x per day mouth cleaner!!

I also have sore boobs, but not sore nipples. They are sensitive though.

PickleBot · 12/12/2015 11:10

Mrs my friend had a whole box of toothbrushes when she was pg because brushing her teeth made her puke every morning!

I'm feeling positive this morning, I woke up in a panic in the night thinking I was bleeding, but it was just masses of pant snot! Gross, but kind of funny! I've been to my jazzercise class and now I feel justified in not doing anything else, but if we want to eat then I need to go shopping. Booooo. Oh well, I will just have to treat myself to something yummy while I'm there.

Oh and cravings... My sweet tooth has GONE! I really want pies though which is bad because I'm not supposed to eat gluten!

Thinking of you today Christine and everyone else that's feeling low. Maybe we can distract ourselves with Christmas preparations!

Christinedonna · 12/12/2015 11:50

The nurse I had today was so much more helpful, she told me how unlikely ectopic is and seeing as they've seen my tubes and seen there's nothing there she's fairly confident I'm just too early. Il hear back around 2 o'clock today if my levels have doubled or not. Fingers crossed!

Somnambulator · 12/12/2015 12:18

Good luck today christine

CurlyChick1 · 12/12/2015 12:30

Gone from 2445 to 5 thousand 2 hundred and something. That puts me at 5 and a half weeks she guesses! Another scan on Thursday! Thank you every one for your crossed fingers!

Mrs1986 · 12/12/2015 16:14

I'm so pleased Christine!!
Are you feeling more reassured now? xx

lilygirl81 · 12/12/2015 16:23

Brilliant Christine so happy for you X

PickleBot · 12/12/2015 16:31

Christine I'm so glad to read this! X

Jw35 · 12/12/2015 16:32

Perfect Christine! Hope that reassures you! Congrats to all the new bfp's!

I've actually had an afternoon nap today for 3 hours. It hasn't made much difference, I've still got zero energy Confused I wonder if it's my iron levels or something?

That's a relief Christine!

And congratulations Gemma Smile

Grace893 · 12/12/2015 18:13

Hi can I join you lovely ladies? I got my BFP last week, this is my first pregancy- so so excited but also so scared. Iv booked myself in for a private 8 week scan to try and get some reasurance. Im 4+5 today and have pretty must been exclusivly wearing white knickers so I can examin CM better, how sad!

In regards to symtoms a bit of nausea (but it might be psycho semantic), very sore nipples and cramping on my left side the whole time but ater reading all your posts I thinks its more normal than I originally thought, or at least heres hoping.

Here are my sats:

Grace893 , 28, first child, West Sussex

Grace893 · 12/12/2015 18:14

Opps knew I forgot somthing due date 16th August.

Morwenna1 · 12/12/2015 19:14

That's so good Christine! Smile and yes to the positive vibes ladies! I've been reading lots about MC and working myself up into a frenzy about it. As you say Jw35 it's outside our control....can I ask where you found the stat about it going down to 5% past 6 weeks?

Hello Grace - I'm 4+4 today, so early days for me too! and my first Confused I've had cramping, although it's eased for me now. Do you mind me asking how did you go about getting a private scan at 8 weeks? Will be trying to get 1st appt with doc next week if they have space!

Grace893 · 12/12/2015 19:22

Hi Morwenna I just googled ultrsound west sussex and it came up with quite a few (though some medical equipment dealers too Blush). The one I have gone with is sonogray for £70 which was the cheapest and they seemed quite nice. no deposit and they understand and dont chase if you need to cancel or dont show up (not that I wouldnt show up) if the worst has happend.

Its probally silly but I read that if you can see a heartbeat at 8 weeks the chance of the pregancy being succesful is 98% and I wanted a bit of that.

rumisyum · 12/12/2015 19:25

Cheers for those positive vibes, JW. And I'm so jealous of your nap! The exhaustion is really starting to kick in for me. Early to bed tonight.

Hurrah for your excellent news, Christine! Hope you have a lovely evening now that anxiety's been lifted.

Coco how is your bleeding? Are you having a scan soon? Fingers crossed for you.

Congratulations to the new bfps! Smile

MrsSantaClause · 12/12/2015 19:47

Brilliant news Christine hope you can manage to relax and enjoy the ride a bit more now Smile

Dh has given me his man flu so I am feeling decidedly miserable tonight. We've just been out to a fundraiser carol service at Ds playgroup and I've just got back got atraight in my pjs and wrapped myself in my blanket and told him to order take away for tea and put the dc to bed himself. I'm so cold and my throat and head really hurt Sad
