Due in January 2020

[Pocopearl3]

Is anyone else due in Jan 2020? My dates are a bit iffy 🤣 but I’m either due 30/12 or 2/1. Baby number 4 ( I swear we were stopping at 1). 🤣

@maybenextmonth, I'm sorry to hear that, fingers crossed for you. We're going to have a think about it and perhaps go after the booking appointment if we are still worrying.

@ducksandacorns Yes, 5 weeks today.

@LizzieZara no you can't as it's a secret group resend your email and I'll try again x

@LizzieZara you should be in now!

@ducksandacorns I'm 5 weeks 1 day

Maybenextmonth I'm doing the same exercise as pre-pregnancy, though I've not been going as hard because I get tired more easily. My dr said to just listen to my body and stop/dial it back if I feel ill or in pain oh and to drink plenty of water.

I did another digital test this morning and got 3+ so I think I'm possibly 5 weeks today.

I'll also be holding off on the Facebook group until a few weeks further on!

@ducksandacorns congratulations on your BFP and welcome! 😊

Sorry to hear of your losses! Hopefully things will work out this time round!

I have also been heavy/aching legs, it's as though I'm walking uphill. My arms feel similar too. Not sure if that's anything to worry about or not??

Could I join? Got my first bfp yesterday. I went through IUI so had my blood test yesterday from fertility clinic and hcg looks good, but obviously still feeling really nervous! Been a really long road to get to this point! Only got about 4 hours sleep last night but think that's the adrenaline of finding out this news. I am getting occasional mild period type cramps / heavy feeling in my tummy but apparently this is all normal

Welcome @dandelion. 😊 I have been sleeping terribly for the last week. Keep waking up at about ten to five and can’t get back to sleep

Hi Dandelion, theres three of us who have been through fertility treatment in here

I’ve also been sleeping awfully but shattered with it! On a positive, my test line is now darker than the control which I’m feeling reassured by!

Really chuffed yesterdays frer was lovely and clear good strong line compared to first one and digi this morning just made it all so real! Xx

If were sharing, here’s mine! I’ve got a digi to take tomorrow as it’s my official IVF test day!

@Missmonkeypenny that's a brilliant line!! X

You all make me want to take more tests but I'm 5+2 and know I shouldn't. Only 6 days til my scan. Tomorrow I would've known for two weeks!! That's exciting!!

First time pregnancy so still don't know a lot about anything!
I've been cutting back on caffeine and taking my folic acid religiously.
But I'm experiencing cramps (like my period) no spotting or bleeding but I don't know if the cramps are normal? Anyone else experiencing them?

Hey @splishandsplash I've been experiencing cramps and a weird kind of sensations (either my ovaries or groin area). It's never very painful but noticeable! I'm going to have an earlier scan as my GP said there's no harm in checking earlier if all is good! Apart from tender breast, I'm not really feeling any other symptoms right now (I'm 5 w 2d - still might be too early)! So much blabber, sorry!

Mrs thank you! I’m 4 + 2 today I think!

splish you aren’t alone, I’ve had period cramps most days - they are most definitely normal. Very mean and mess with your head but normal!

Fab line @Missmonkeypenny
This is mine from yesterday- 12dpo. Such a difference from Tuesday's.

Apart from feeling a bit sicky & tired, not really having too many symptoms either.

@splishandsplash I had those cramps for about a week! They only stopped yesterday, very worrying aren't they? Completely normal though! I mentioned them to my doctor yesterday and she reassured me too

Ps @Kinsters just seen your post about the digi. Fab news 😬

Thank you all for coming back to me, it's terribly scary! I haven't managed to get a GP appointment until I'm 9 weeks!! (Currently 5+1)

Hey - I'm going to join! I'm verrrrrrry early, 9dpo with a positive on a first response test this morning.

DD 13 Jan. So a teeeeeeny 3w + 4 pregnant
Fingers crossed it sticks.

This is my second pregnancy, I already have a 3 year old.

I'll try and get a doc's appointment for next week I guess!

I cracked and nipped to Wilko for some crap £1 tests but considering they're probably not sensitive and it wasn't fmu I'm happy with the lines (last time I found out at the stage and it was very faint) also anyone using the reassure me link? It's helping me too!

Hi @splishandsplash I have been having bad period type cramps too, quite painful at times. I’m now 5+4, and have seen the go today who said it’s nothing unusually, and for some people it lasts most of the first trimester! Cramps and light headedness are my only real symptoms so far though.

@raligator how are you dealing with the light headedness? It's a very inconvenient symptom

I'm going to do some more clearblue tests over coming weeks! I want to see them go to 2-3 and 3+

On a not so positive note today I picked up my dogs poo and completely missed the bag! All over my hand I was nearly sick!! Must have washed my hands 10 times
