Hi

I just found out at the weekend that I'm pregnant, this will be no. 2. Had no idea how far gone I was as I had just had AF 7th Aug but after a very early scan this morning it looks like I've conceived since then...very surprised as HPT is seriously strong and I got 5 +ve OPK's last week which by the scan I would have only just conceived at that point.

Very much a waiting game at the moment and back in 2 weeks for another scan. If I am indeed only 3 weeks then I have pretty much the same due date as I had for my DD Grin only 1 year apart. Let the crazy times commence!

Anyone else this early in pregnancy and due in May 2017?

So sorry Mild hope you have a speedy recovery. I dont feel too hopeful about this pregnancy, i dont know why. Maybe it is just because am older. I dont have very many symptoms, which I hope I am not equating with a less strong pregnancy. When I had my booking appointment with baby number 3 the Consultant told me that pregnancy symptoms get worse with every pregnancy, I know this is not the case for everyone but it did fit with my last three.
I had a GP appointment this morning and I told him that I had a positive last friday but it was not super strong, he asked did I not take another one. I told him I told a digital on Saturday and it said 1-2 weeks so I left it at that. I am going to test tomorrow morning with the other digital and hope it has progressed to 2-3 weeks as I think that would offer me a bit of reassurance. I am very crampy on and off but i hope that is just everything stretching.

Happy Friday everyone

So sorry mmm Sad

Sonnet18 · 16/09/2016 14:40

Yes, I feel like I've known for ages but in reality I've known for under two weeks!!
I've just bought another CBD with the hope of it going to 3+...crazy I know but just felt I had to!
Yeah, anne I had a few private scans last time. It's £39 for the early scan so not expensive at all for that little bit of reassurance.

talulahbelle · 16/09/2016 14:45

These early days are just fretting about symptoms. I've read back over the early ante-natel thread (before we moved to Facebook) on here from when I had DD to compare how I was feeling. I had no sickness until after 6 weeks last time which is reassuring slightly.

12 days until the my 7 week scan.

lalaland1985 · 16/09/2016 14:47

Cinnamon and Anne - Primarl also do bralettes. No where near as nice as the Calvin Klein ones but they are comfy and about £5.

MissMooMoo · 16/09/2016 14:47

I am constantly fretting about symptoms too, do my boobs hurt today as much as they did yesterday? Have I been for a wee more today? Etc
I wish it were 12 weeks now!

Sonnet18 · 16/09/2016 15:02

talulah I was the same last year- it was definitely after six weeks. Was completely fine before then (like now) and then hit with awful sickness. I'm six weeks tomorrow so I'm anticipating some nausea within the next few days!

AnneLovesGilbert · 16/09/2016 15:02

Totally misunderstood the bank hol reference! Blush

AnneLovesGilbert · 16/09/2016 15:04

Thanks lala

Sonnet, how did you arrange it? How many people offer it? I'm a first-timer so utterly clueless....

FoxMulder · 16/09/2016 15:26

I feel really rough today Sad. I'm not sure quite how sick I need to get before I call the doctors for different drugs.

I had an early scan last time on the NHS just for reassurance.

Sonnet18 · 16/09/2016 16:14

anne there's a private clinic near by to me in town. Google private baby scanning clinics with your hometown and you'll get a list of places that offer it.
Some of the places have reviews so read them first to ensure its a good place!
I've ordered my CBD arriving on Tuesday...is it bad that I'm still too embarrassed to buy a pregnancy test from the shop and need to order from Amazon?! I need to grow up!

LovelyFishy · 16/09/2016 16:19

MissMooMoo Glad I'm not the only one worrying about symptoms! I'm normally a very calm person so it's extra odd! It's the weird crampy/pully feeling that freak me out the most.

4sacharm & Fox hope you both start to feel a bit better soon.

TheOracleAtSelfie · 16/09/2016 17:28

Those of you with no symptoms yet - I know it's hard but do try and enjoy it. Sickness is truly starting to kick in here and I promise feeling sick all day is no fun!

jennymac31 · 16/09/2016 17:54

I'm trying not to fret about symptoms but it's so hard not to over think things. My stomach cramps and backache have calmed down but I took a sip of tea and nearly threw up at my desk at work! My booking appointment isn't until 21St October which is ages away! These next 6 weeks are going to drag!

beachsands · 16/09/2016 18:01

Oh I was thinking that the only symptom I have is the odd wave of nausea. But I'm not even 5 wks yet. Mil popped in earlier. It was weird having this secret but I'm not telling anyone until necessary. I will pop to Boots tomorrow and get another test just to be sure! For those with sickness I know exactly how you feel. Had it bad on #2

Gurtie28 · 16/09/2016 19:27

What a day I've had, stress levels at an all time high!!
Before I was pregnant I was having tests for a suspected ovarian cyst, and was booked in for a scan today. Decided to keep the appointment (my mum had a cyst whilst pg with me!).
Sack found, yolk found, embryo "absent". Couldn't see a baby and no heartbeat.
They sent me to the EPAU to see a midwife who didn't seem concerned at all, said it could just been earlier than we thought (I calculate 6wks) and I am booked in for another scan in 2wks.
Nothing I can do until then, either I will go back to a beautiful little heartbeat, or an empty sack :(
Anyone have experience of this (hopefully with a happy ending)

Gurtie28 · 16/09/2016 19:32

Oh - good news is - no cysts! But not really thinking about that anymore.......

shimmysparkles · 16/09/2016 19:41

So sorry MMM hope you are getting support.

Gurtie no advice I can give but just wanted to send luck and love. A stressful wait.

Nausea and dizziness now hit. Much worse than last time. Am hoping it eases soon. Also having crazy dreams and waking at night. I had forgotten all these symptoms.

talulahbelle · 16/09/2016 19:45

Gurtie I've had infertility treatment and the very very earliest they will book in for a scan an expect to see anything is 6+2, and that's being certain of dates. If you ovulated and implanted slightly late it's just going to be too early to see anything.

I'm considering bed at 7:45. Tiredness kicking in.

Sonnet18 · 16/09/2016 19:46

I'm afraid that happened to me with my mmc...went for 12 week scan and there was the sack, yolk and fetal pole but no heartbeat...they measured me at 5 ish weeks and told me to come back in 2 weeks. I knew that it wasn't possible for my dates to be off. I'm sorry to tell a negative story...
However, you're still so early that you could easily be a week or so out. Hopefully you're not too stressed and upset today. I know how hard it is to just wait and see!

TheOracleAtSelfie · 16/09/2016 19:51

gurtie I had the same with DD - had awful cramps so went to EPU, saw yolk and sac but no baby (was only around 5 weeks), booked me in for another scan a week or so later and saw a heartbeat. Please don't despair as it's very early to see anything!

Gurtie28 · 16/09/2016 19:59

Thank you ladies! I have a feeling this will be the longest two weeks of my life!! But I can change anything so just going to try not to stress.

AnneLovesGilbert · 16/09/2016 20:45

Oh gurtie, how stressful, sending you a big hug. Keep being optimistic and try and travel hopefully. It's such early days, it might just be hiding out but still safely growing x

lalaland1985 · 16/09/2016 20:52

I'm so worried about my lack of symptoms. I'm off on holiday tomorrow and panicking that o could miscarry in a strange country. I need to try and be positive
