I'm so glad to hear that, presh! I was thinking of you today. I'm in the same position as dancing - 'what will be will be' were the exact words my husband used, too. I think maybe men are just less likely to understand the need to know!

@dinosaurkisses: I'll be going to Holles St. too. I have no real idea of how it all works, this is my first! We're going to Rome for the weekend, it was timed to coincide with fertile wk and now it's coinciding with no bloody wine 😂 I'm going to book into Holles St when we get back next week.

I totally just assumed we would get a 12 wk scan. That's crap! There's absolutely no way I'll be able to last until 20 weeks. It's going to kill me to get through the next 7 weeks. Seems like a million years since I found out I'm pregnant and it's only been 5 days!!

Best of luck with your scan - fingers crossed for a super strong little bean :)

Dancing and donkey, my DH was the same with our first, when I told him he said well let's not get too excited in case it doesn't work out, but at least we know we can get this far!

GimbleInTheWabe · 15/02/2017 23:45

GlitterBubble I actually have no idea about DMs...! I'm still pretty new to MN and have not received on yet so I don't know the ins and outs Blush

shinysparklythings · 16/02/2017 06:37

Can I come and join please?

Got a definite positive this morning after being fairly certain for a couple of days.

I already have a 14month old so this is my second time through! I think my due date is about the 28th October.

Very excited but nervous too.

DancingUnicorn · 16/02/2017 07:28

Hi shiny! Congratulations!

Gimble and glitter I think dm only works on computer, I definitely couldn't figure out s way to do it on the app...

Tried again to hint at the idea of private scan last night. No bite! I can understand his pov, as I don't think there's anything we can do either way, I guess just if something's going to go wrong I'd rather know asap. Oh well, guess it's not going to happen. Bring on 31st March.

DebsandScott · 16/02/2017 07:32

Congrats shiny, same due date as me!

I was thinking about a private scan as they are only about £70 in my area. What worries me is that they have said it might be internal scanning which scares the life out of me! Would that be the same at around 8 weeks do we think?

I was able to DM by pressing the three dots at the bottom right of the comment on here.

Sadly this pregnancy came to end yesterday so I'll be saying goodbye to this thread.
Just wanted to wish you all very happy healthy pregnancies.
And when you start to feel fat please remember you are beautiful!!

DebsandScott · 16/02/2017 07:40

Angel, so very sad to hear that, good luck for the future

donkey86 · 16/02/2017 08:15

Oh Jen, I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you're holding up ok Flowers

DancingUnicorn · 16/02/2017 08:22

So, so sorry jen. 💐

emwithme · 16/02/2017 08:31

So sorry jen Flowers

doomkittycleo · 16/02/2017 08:41

Sorry jen Flowers Sad

JanuaryJuniper · 16/02/2017 09:01

Hello Ladies, I'm 4+1 today and due on October 25th! Totally unexpected pregnancy as I have pcos and never ovulate naturally it took 4 years, miscarriages and clomid to conceive by dd!

We are very excited. I just stopped breastfeeding before Christmas and only had one period since.

I'm a bit worried today as this mornings test was not as dark a yesterday's, could you please take a look and tell me what you think. The tests are from this morning, yesterday morning and Tuesday morning.
I would be so sad to loose it.

October 2017-come one come all!
Lovechild2016 · 16/02/2017 09:16

So sorry jen Flowers take care of yourself.

Congratulations juniper I wouldn't worry too much about the colour of line it can depend how concentrated your urine is when you poas. Xx

PlayOnWurtz · 16/02/2017 09:42

Sorry to hear that Jennifer take care of yourself Flowers

abcdemma · 16/02/2017 09:46

So sorry jen Flowers

wapsmahoney · 16/02/2017 09:58

Morning Ladies

Im so sorry jen take care of yourself and take all the time you need for you.

Congratulations to all the newbies ... its getting a bit exciting round here now!

Well I can safely say I don't recommend going on a training course when you're in early pregnancy! I spent the last 2 days trying not to be sick and battling to concentrate!
That constant sicky feeling is really annoying now!

How is everyone doing?

Starfish83 · 16/02/2017 09:59

Very sorry to hear this, AngelicJen. Take care of yourself Flowers xx

Lamaitresse · 16/02/2017 10:00

So sorry angelicjen, am thinking of you 💐

Congrats Juniper but try not to worry about the line being a bit lighter - as love said it can depend on the concentration of your wee so can easily differ... A line is a line right?!

I'm just sat waiting for my scan absolutely wetting myself. Am terrified it's going to be bad news as I just don't feel sick and last time by this stage I was already in hospital as was so poorly. Cannot see how this is going to be good news 😞

PlayOnWurtz · 16/02/2017 10:02

Well I'm currently sat in the gp surgery waiting for a medication review and the guy in front of me smells strongly of fags and stale urine. I'm trying to be polite and brave it out (mainly because there are no other seats) but all I want to do is hurl!!!

wapsmahoney · 16/02/2017 10:10

PlayOnWurtz Oh I can only imagine how horrible that is!
Hopefully you wont have to wait much longer. The guy opposite me in the office has just made coffee and that is making me want to throw up!
Good luck at the doctors.

Good luck Chintaria Try and stay positive. Let us all know how you get on.

TinySalmon · 16/02/2017 10:23

Holy moly this thread moves fast!

@angelicjen I am very sorry to hear about your news FlowersFlowers

@Chintaria me too! Gearing myself up for bad news all the time.

I've been beyond stressed the last few days - a lot to do with DP driving me insane - and don't think so much stress is good for a growing little bean. I'm worried I've damaged my nice uterine environment with the stress I've been putting on my body and baby wants out ☹️

PlayOnWurtz · 16/02/2017 10:34

All good. Change of medications, been given a gel and aspirin to help prevent miscarriage and a referral to gynaecology due to complex medical history. Here's hoping it all works and bean sticks around like!!
