October 2017-come one come all!

[Stickaforkinimdone]

Am I the first one here?! Positive pregnancy test yesterday
Baby number 2 ETA 1st october
Do come and join me!

Yeh, I agree, without cramping it's likely nothing serious. Oh god, still worrying and stressful. I'd go to bed as early as you can tonight to make it come quicker! Is this your first pregnancy?

It is.... can you tell? I've tried not to fulfil the over anxious first time mum stereotype and have to say until an hour ago I felt I was doing rather well! If the bleeding would stop that would be grand, maybe I just need to have stern words with my uterus! X

Tummy is really quite sore tonight and it was last night too. Keep expecting to see blood when I go to the loo. Gotta stay on my feet for 6-7 hours at work so I can't see it easing off either
Hope everyone else is feeling OK x

Updated list! Getting really long!!

Let me know if I've missed you, misspelt your username, or your EDD has been updated x

I self referred last week and have a scan in 2 weeks. Seems forever away! Have no idea how far I am. But think I last had a monthly at the beg/mid Jan. I knew I should have kept more organised with it haha

Ok this might be a long post and I apologise.

Firstly so sorry to all those who have had losses or are worrying. I hope you're all taking good care of yourselves.

. Mummabubs this post might be helpful to you.

I've been fairly quiet on here as not wanting to let myself get too excited. Been spotting/ bleeding daily since I found out I was pregnant at 4 weeks. Had my hcg levels tested on advice of EPU and they were ok. But the EPU wouldn't scan me then as the results were good. Said would only
Scan if they looked like there was a problem.

So over a week later here I am still bleeding daily. Not a lot. But when I wipe. Sometimes nothing. Sometimes red, brown pink you name it. Even with the odd small clot.

Not had many symptoms. Just super tired and weeing a lot. With the odd bit of nausea. So that was a bit worrying too.

But the good news went for my early scan today at what I thought was 7+2. And everything was right on track. Baby measuring perfectly at 7 weeks with a Heartbeat.

So bleeding and spotting is not always bad. The lady said she could see no sign of where the bleed was coming from and could be from still Implanting further. But everything looks great.

I know still no guarantee but with the bleeding it was such a relief to see that everything is progressing as it should be and there is no obvious reason to worry (outside of the norm).

So I am one happy happy right now.

Good luck to all ☺️

Thanks so much for sharing sj3rram1 I'm trying to stay positive until anyone tells me otherwise, although obviously it's still anxiety provoking. As I'm 7+2 I'm hoping they'll give me a scan tomorrow and touch wood be able to put my mind at rest. Is this a vaginal scan for peeps who've had them before at this stage or what the process is like in general? I've already planned to park a way away from the hospital with free parking so I don't have to worry about how long I'm there.

Yes it will be a vaginal scan. If it's any help my mum had horrendous bleeding for the whole 9 months with one of her pregnancies (she had a coil in situ) and had a healthy baby that's now a 6'5 bloke!! Don't lose hope

DrMum83 in the same. Got my BFP a week ago yesterday and have tested daily and they are all labelled lol. I'm keeping testing for my sanity and waiting until the control line is pale pink, also going to use a clearblue digital on Monday and hoping for 3+ with a back up test if I need to try again for a 3+ on Wednesday. I'm going to stop testing once I've had the scan Monday afternoon as long as I get a 3+, as this one has already done better than pretty much all of my 12 mc's so I'm trying to remain hopeful that the drugs I'm on this time are going to work for the next 34 and a bit weeks!

loopy - omg, I'm so sorry you've had twelve losses. You must be one strong woman! What drugs are you on?
I'm under the recurrent mc clinic and taking cyclogest and folic acid 5mg (plus pregnacare)
Yeh, I'm gonna check for a 3+ on Sunday as got a 2-3 last Sunday, I know ppl say they're unreliable but I've always found them to be an early marker for me in previous losses.
How ru feeling? I'm only 4+3 and wishing for nausea but nothing convincing yet...
how are your frer lines looking? ( I don't wanna get into a frer- off though and cause each other more anxiety !)

Sorry, just read the 'strong woman' bit back - hope it doesn't sound weird, I just wanted to recognize and acknowledge how difficult you've had it X

Thanks playonwurtz, that's helpful to know. The bleeding's stopped now and still no cramping so I'm really hoping that's a plus xx

That's good news mummabubs!

Hi Tinysalmon

Please could you put my EDD as 13th October.

Thanks

Mummabubs for me they did a normal scan first and then progressed onto a vaginal scan straight after when they weren't confident they had seen everything they needed to. The vaginal scan was a little uncomfortable but not what I would class as painful.

Same with me today abdominal scan then said would get a better view internally. It was fine. I didn't find it painful or uncomfortable. Agree the abdominal one was worse due to the really full bladder than then got pressed on. Thought I was going to wet myself 😳

Haha thanks for sharing ladies! In which case I hope the worst case scenario tomorrow is that I pee myself in front on an unsuspecting nurse! My husband is being much more pragmatic whereas I'm still sitting in optimist camp. I figure if it's the end then at least by being positive now I delay my grief by a few hours, and if it is fine then I won't have worried unnecessarily. It ain't over til it's over xx

DrMum83 I'm on vit D3, baby aspirin, metformin, levothyroxine, progesterone, fragmin injections, Prednisolone, ranitidine, pregnacare and omega 3. I'm 4+4 today based on the first ovulation, 4+3 on the second. I didn't get morning sickness with my boys (who were completely drug free conceptions/pregnancies) but I always had to drink a glass of milk before I got up in the morning as an empty tummy would make me queasy. The pred I'm on masks symptoms like that apparently but I have plenty of other symptoms - insomnia, mental dreams, really hot, constipation, and uterus area is so swollen already which is ridiculous at this early stage! My FRER's have got to the stage the test line is darker than the control, but there is room for the control to go lighter still. I didn't get my 2-3 until Monday so hoping next Monday might be ok for 3+. I've been part of a great online group with the most amazing ladies and I've had it easy in some respected, mine were all early losses, my latest one was a MMC at 6+4, some had losses at 18-20 weeks and I can't begin to imagine how you cope with that.

Mummabubs I hope tomorrow goes well. The uterus doesn't move above the pelvis this early on so it's rare that you don't need a vaginal scan. The slimmer you are the better your odds though.

Boy there's a lot of us in here now!

Good luck with the scan mummabubs and thanks for the info sj3rram1. I've been spotting daily and cramping for 3 weeks now with a small red bleed a couple of days ago. Haven't been to the doctor yet as I wasn't sure this one would be sticking around, but I guess I should book an appointment to see what's going on.

Chintaria, I hope the week goes quickly for you.

Loopy and Drmum, hope the tests continue to go well for you.

Hi to all the newbies!

I can't sleep. I'm so frigging hot, I feel like a hot water bottle. Not due to fever, just my internal thermometer seems to have sky rocketed recently.

Loopy - I really am wishing you all the luck in the world this time around. That's quite a concoction of meds you're on there - but all worth it when it works!

Mummabubs - you have such a brilliant attitude. Hoping all goes well today.

I've had to get up extra early today for a shower as just standing under the water for 5 mins sends me dizzy and sick to the extent I have to lie heaving next to a toilet for 20 minutes. Not pleasant.

Zookeeper it might put your mind at rest a bit 😊

I also couldn't sleep been awake since 1 and gave up at 3.30. I have since then watched 3 episodes of Appletree yard ha. Shame have to go to work now and attempt to function.

Had some toast earlier too which was fine but left a bit. The smell of the cold toast on the plate next to me kept making me gag until I moved it. That's new. 😳

Morning all!

Sorry to those who have had a loss or are worrying and waiting for a scan!

Been awake for 20 mins DD (12 months) woke up for a feed and I'm lying next to her desperately trying not to be sick on her head! It was the plan to breastfeed till she was two - now two more minutes feels like an achievement now I'd how I'm going to cope with a newborn and a toddler to breastfeed!

Hi everyone, still here. Sore boobs and waking at 5am like clockwork every day are my main symptoms. Am 4+5

I am so so sorry for the losses since I was last on. Have been there. Be good to yourselves ❤️❤️❤️. Thinking of you xxx

Missmouse I was still breastfeeding ds1 when I fell pregnant with ds2, I planned to keep feeding him but had to wean him when I was 10 weeks pregnant, as I just found it so uncomfortable to keep feeding, he was 15 months at the time but I still felt guilty about stopping but I just couldn't face doing it, despite having loved it up until then!

Being hot is normal, progesterone raises your temperature and it's a good sign. Insomnia is also normal, although never looked into why! I wake every day around 3.30-4am, thankfully I don't always stay awake from then!
