Are any of you ladies getting really itchy skin?
I'm literally scratching everywhere I'm putting body butter on every 5 mins which is soothing it a little... specially the tops of my legs and my upper back xx

Not a happy bunny today. I work in a team of 3 at work and one of them guessed that I was pregnant last week (and just asked me straight out, even knowing I had an mc last year!) and I didn't cover quickly enough so now she knows. I told her I was only 4-5 weeks and that nobody, not even my mum, knows, so she said she wouldn't tell anyone. I knew she would tell the other person in our team but couldn't really stop her. The next morning, our other team member said hi and blatantly looked at my tummy so I knew she'd been told within 12hrs (probably more like 12mins!). Then today I discovered that teammate 2 has also told at least one other member of staff!!!! Angry

@Kit17 why would people do that!!! That's terrible, it's your secret to tell! People like that upset me... a lot!!!
Hope that's it now and they stop telling people x

orangekitkat13 · 26/04/2018 21:11

@December2018 I do, chest and arms, hadn't connected it to pregnancy tho!

@Kit17 that is so infuriating! I'd be really pissed off!

balalalala · 26/04/2018 21:17

@dreaminofholidays how are you doing? I hope it wasn't bad news. Fingers crossed for you.

SunshineSparklesSmiles · 26/04/2018 21:18

@Kit17 Some people are so inconsiderate. I'm sorry that it's happened, it's out of order.

dreaminofholidays · 26/04/2018 21:33

@balalalala still none the wiser really.
Had the early scan this evening. There was no sack but my pregnancy test this morning was still positive. There was something very small on the scan so it could be that I am not as far along as first thought and that's the start of a pregnancy or I have miscarried and it's the end. They will rescan me in 2 weeks to see.
I don't have regular periods and never tracked my cycle so it could well be that it is earlier than I thought. I am hoping I can have a blood test at the doctors tomorrow and see if that helps clarify the situation.

has anyone else been in this situation? (obviously i hope not) xxx

Yukka · 26/04/2018 21:41

How many weeks did think you were @dreamin? Are you still bleeding now?

Really sorry that you didn't get a conclusive answer.

@dreaminofholidays fingers crossed for you that it's just a little bit too early! Good idea to head to the gp though.

Cakelaur · 26/04/2018 21:44

Arghh I'm spotting again. Only a tiny amount of light brown. Trying to stay calm after my scan on Monday. But don't have another scan until I'm back from holiday in two weeks!!! Why is it so hard!!

Rachie1986 · 26/04/2018 21:45

Hoping all is ok dreamin. No harm in talking to Dr. 2 weeks is a long time to wait. Feel for you x

Maggi85 · 27/04/2018 06:38

@dreaminofholidays hopefully the blood test will give you a quicker result. Got my fingers crossed fingers for you and the positive test must be a good thing xxx

dreaminofholidays · 27/04/2018 07:45

thanks everyone.
Hopefully I can get a bit closer to an answer today, right now there is some hope.
I am still bleeding so it does look like this is the end of the road for me but I wish you all healthy happy pregnancies. xxx

Happysbno4 · 27/04/2018 07:47

Anyone else getting worried by lack of symptoms? My boobs seem to less tender and swollen. I'm not hungry or sick. I'm not so bloated. I am needing to wee in the night! I think I'm 5 +5 today and seeing GP today. I did have some odd pains in my side and tummy. So worried I feel to well!

MagicalCreatures · 27/04/2018 07:49

@Kit17 I’d be furious. That is so out of order of your colleague. Your in your absolute right to complain or say something.

@Cakelaur sorry your spotting again. But you’ve seen a heartbeat and the chances of miscarriage do lower after seeing a heartbeat. And light brown means it’s old blood. You need to get on that holiday now and relax

@Rachie1986 how are you getting on. Did you hear from the EPU. You must be so scared. I’m so sorry.

MagicalCreatures · 27/04/2018 07:53

@dreaminofholidays 🤞 for you. Who ever thought that TTC would be such a journey.

@Happysbno4 I’m 5+1 and I don’t really have any either. Yet my HCG is really high.
I haven’t been sick or feel nauseous. I’m burping a lot and my boobs are tender but that’s it.

katyonamission · 27/04/2018 08:14

Hello! Can I join?

Got my BFP last week. Tried to calculate my due date, says 27th December. I can't seem to carry to full term though so will probably be early December!

MamaBerg · 27/04/2018 08:20

sorry to hear there's a few of you bleeding, fingers crossed everything will be OK for you Flowers

OMG am I happy we can have dippy eggs now. Last pregnancy they were banned. Did one for DS tea last night and may have eaten half of it my self Blush. I think I could live off eggs right now Grin

Eggoisnowpreggo · 27/04/2018 08:48

@December2018 I’m really itchy actually, I also hadn’t put it down to pregnancy but it probably is (everything is, isn’t it?)

MagicalCreatures · 27/04/2018 09:02

Well my HCG has gone from 2739 - 5407 in 48 hours so that’s good. Nearly doubled.
But my progesterone is 83!!!!!
Have any of you had it that high before.

CT240 · 27/04/2018 10:00

@dreaminofholidays I hope everything is ok, it is so difficult. I had a private scan last night should have been 7+2 but scan showed an empty sac. Got to go back in 2 weeks time to see how things have progressed but she thinks the bleeding and cramping may start before then. Had a mc over Christmas so devastated but know what to expect just not looking forward to the next few weeks. Well I guess no one said pregnancy and ttc would be easy x

Harveyrabbit76 · 27/04/2018 10:20

Hi everyone, I have started a seperate thread but just wanted to ask some advice. I am nearly 9 weeks pregnant and had a scan last week which showed a heartbeat etc but I have started spotting dark brown discharge in the past few days. I haven't had crazy cramps but I have noticed that I am not as tired etc. Anyone have something similar? Feeling worried!!

Bora8 · 27/04/2018 10:24

@harveyrabbit76
I’m so glad you posted this, I’m 9 weeks tomorrow & had a scan at 7 weeks which was all good but most of my symptoms, tiredness, bloatedness etc have gone & my CM has almost stopped the last 3/4 days so I’ve been really worried too. Hopefully it’s just the stage we’re at.

Harveyrabbit76 · 27/04/2018 11:51

@Bora8 - thank goodness if you get what I mean :-) I have also just realised that the iron supplements I have started taking might have something to do with the decrease in tiredness.

If it helps anyone, I have spoken to my consultant re the bleeding and he says it is fine if dark brown as old blood. Fingers crossed we just all get through the next few weeks with a bit less stress!

dreaminofholidays · 27/04/2018 12:35

@CT240 sorry to read about your early scan, that must be really scary. Fingers crossed when you go back there is something in the sack.

this whole thing is so much harder than I ever thought and it's so difficult to know what to do when you are having problems.

just waiting rather than getting an answer just makes it worse.
