Starting a new thread for us all....

I'm so sorry Lentil 😥

To all the ladies doing repeated tests: I hate to be the bearer of bad news but even if you miscarry the hormones stay in your system for quite a while so you will still get a +... so you can save your money! X

I know this because after my 2nd loss at 10 weeks I tested regularly to see when my cycles might start again and I would stop bleeding (I bled for 14 weeks afterwards), and I was still getting a + 5 weeks after I had lost the baby.

Try to be content that your not bleeding or cramping badly and save your money, or go spend it all at once on a scan 😝 I know it's hard to believe it sometimes, indeed I have a +FRER in a drawer and I take a peek at it every once in a while.

I've joined the early scan club. Baby measured between 7 and a half and 8 weeks today, great heartbeat and all looks well so massively reassured. We had a MMC in September so it feels like an achievement to have got this far! Roll on 12 weeks now!

I'm so sorry Lentil. 😪

Thank you for your advice Whitelily, Lules & Fluffy. My local GP system is awful so still haven't been seen by anyone...

Was advised to go to a walk in after ringing 111 and being unable to be given a phone consultation by my GP. The walk in waiting time was 4 hours!! So, because the spotting had stopped I've decided to wait for an appointment tomorrow. I'm going to ask for a referral to the EPU for a scan because I was admitted for a heavy bleed in my first pregnancy at 27 weeks. I just need to know 😞

Saying that... nausea has ramped up, along with tiredness so I'm keeping positive.

sherbert, you may be able to self-refer and contact the EPU directly. This is definitely the case in many areas. Ring them and ask!

Not here I'm afraid Penguin... you have to go through A&E and TBH I feel like it'd be wasting their time. Especially because the spotting has stopped.

Totally and unnecessarily raging as Thursday is take away night and DH normally picks it up after playing football. He came home with supermarket pizza. Thats not my dominoes! Genuinely trying not to cry.

oky yesterday I ranted at DH because he ate half my cinnamon swirl. Properly raging. How dare the bastard.

Another food related issue here too...I had to go to bed early 2 nights in a row as I couldn't bear the smell of dh cooking fish and chips Oky I'd be distraught if dh turned up with shop bought rather than takeaway pizza, you poor thing!!!

On the upside I managed a full meal yesterday evening which was great. Have had a couple of slightly better days which obviously sends me into a worry but is also good as it was getting super grim.

I'd quite like someone to invent a time machine to go forward to February 24th now please

I can definitely sympathise with feeling hangry. I am furious if I don't eat every two hours or so! No wonder my trousers are already getting tight..
Also had an early scan yesterday and saw a little kidney bean with a good heartbeat. So surreal, especially when you don't have many symptoms. Dated 9 weeks, so EDD of 31st August for now, but don't make me leave this board

Oh it looks like the nausea has really set in with me. I commute into London about once a week so the 7.07 train was a full 1.5 hours of dry heaving on a smelly train loo which was in demand.

I got home at 6.30, went to bed and I've just woken up - I feel so human again

Frilly you deserve a medal! If I had to commute in this state I would be up-chucking on everyone in sight!
Having a horrendous nausea day. Saw the doc and scan was good, my bleed has all gone but I still need to stay on the progesterone which is making me feel at least doubly as bad a my last pregnancy by this stage. He also said I can expect the sickness to peak around 9/10weeks. Urrrrgh. Plus My edd is 9.11.
Gulp.
Decided that with approx 35 days to get through til 12 weeks I need to literally count down the days. So that's what I'm doing, from now on every morning when I wake up and want to heave into my cereal bowl I'll say '34 more sleeps'

Nausea has kicked in properly today. However I don't have to do my more than 2 hour commute today because DS has helpfully come down with a vomiting bug having just recovered from a cold so I'm off work today again (making it up on Monday). If you have more than 1 child and they go to nursery do you ever actually get to work?!

Oh Frilly I feel your pain. I live in the North West but usually do at least one day a week in London and I've done Yorkshire yesterday and en route to Wolverhampton now. The queasiness in trains is awful. I've been trying fruity sweets, sucking them seems to take the horrible taste out of my mouth! And when I'm at home I've resorted to ice lollies for breakfast. Seems to be working. Dreading the 9 week peak, I'll be 7 tomorrow.

Can someone share the spreadsheet link please?

Morning all, the nausea is coming in waves again this morning. DH got home from working away last night and couldn't believe the size of my bump already.....I'm going to be house-like

It's so frustrating to be so far behind so many of you....I literally just want to get to 12 weeks and then I'll feel I can relax slightly ( although not really because I'll still continue to stress until I have a healthy baby in my arms!)

Dh loves fish. The smell of fish makes me want to hurl. Dh cooks fish. Dh wonders why I am shouting at him. Dh then offers me fish. I am very tempted to just throw up on him!

In other news, mashed potato and gravy is amazing.

Oh and this morning I finally got 3+ on a CB digi! I did one on Monday night and was still 2-3 weeks and held off buying another until this morning (I'm 5+6 by dates but think it's a couple of days less).

And for those still poas I'm with you! I do a cheapie every morning, and am working my way through my stash of FRER every couple of days. Seeing the line getting darker makes me feel calmer. And I know that it doesn't mean anything, but it makes me feel a little more in control of it all. Will stop on CB now I have a 3+ and stop with the others if all goes well at the scan tomorrow.

Does anyone else feel so ravaged by hormones that their partner can do no right at the moment? Poor bastard.

Not poas since the 1-2 week digi just over a week ago. Will get more this weekend as a wane in symptoms (except the rage) has made me a bit anxious. Also considering an early scan as they're not too expensive round here (£45 compared to the £89 I have seen in some places).

Tiptop Yep I actually lost my rag yesterday as dh dared to ask me to do something whilst I was eating a spring roll... I just wanted to eat my spring roll in peace And ds1 reckons he is ill today teenage lethargy and I raged at him too.

kep - DH apparently can't stop frying chorizo since I got pregnant

I've been trying to get in at the doctors all week and there's no appointments. Going to have to try next week and I'll be 7 weeks by then. Just worrying I'll not get my scan through on time at this rate

Glad everyone's scan are going well! It puts your mind at rest a little.. I'm 8+2 today so Just counting the days down until my scan 12week scan on the 23rd 😀

I'm really moody with everyone too, I snapped at my boss last night as she made a comment about my personal life😡😡My OH has a disability which stop him from standing for long periods of time, so when I said I was going home to cook dinner.. my boss said "don't you think OH should do that if he's been at home today 😡😡 I don't think she has any right to comment on my life, were not MATES!!! We are getting our house done up to accommodate to my partners needs in which he will do a lot more as everything will be in the right height for him!! I was then a bitch most of the night to OH :( I feel bad now but will make it up to him today :) (a meal out a our favourite restaurant) think that might do the trick!! I'm not sure if I was being overdramatic?? X

Hummus not sure what these men are thinking?! He said that he knows I'm not being deliberately fussy but all the same it is annoying

Amz Totally not overreacting! I would have gone mad. I am struggling to not lose my temper at work - which is really inconvenient as I am managing a project that delivers in May and need all my tact and charm between now and then. Coupled with feeling exhausted it is going to be a lonnnnnnng four months!

I think a couple of weeks of barely eating just caught up with me - literally inhaled a greggs chicken baguette and half a sausage roll. SO greedy but oh emm gee was it good

I'm struggling to hide my bump and I'm only 8 weeks! I did have a Mum Tum already but now I can't suck it in for love nor money.

Tiptop £45 is great for a scan, they're £131 here which is extortionate! I definitely found mine reassuring yesterday.

Those of you doing mega commutes - you are superwomen in my eyes! How do you do it! Hats off to you.
