Crikey. I'm mega-early, but did a Clearblue early detection test today and here I am! Hopefully some more folk will join me soon.
Second baby for me, already have DS who is 4. Feel like I've forgotten everything tho!
Eeeeeeek!

[star1980]

Cross post with you @wellthisisshitisntit... totally know how you feel. Time goes so slowly doesn’t it, but 9:30 will come eventually and then you’ll know for sure. Really hoping it’s good news for you.

[ronniemipperton]

Fingers crossed for you as well @ivyleaf4.

[ivyleaf4]

Thanks all. The bleeding has stopped now, so just really hope it doesn't start up again. My period would have been due today or yesterday so maybe it's somehow linked to that?

@star1980 I've got a DD who is three and I bled during my pregnancy with her although not until 7-8 weeks. I've also had three early miscarriages though so I'm realistic

Having said that, I am sure my symptoms haven't gone away (I had just started to feel waves of nausea and they're definitely still happening!!) so I am allowing myself to hope at least a tiny bit.

@wellthisisshitisntit I'll be thinking of you at 9.30, keeping everything crossed.

[YouWhoNeverArrived]

@ivyleaf4 I had three small bleeds when I was pregnant with DS - one when my period was due, then another at 7 weeks and again at 11 weeks when my period would have been due. Fingers crossed for you.

@wellthisisshitisntit Thinking of you this morning

[tisonlymeagain]

Just playing catch up with everyone…

@ivyleaf4 Sorry to hear you have had some bleeding, such a scary time but sounds positive that it’s stopped. I know it can be completely normal but I also know that doesn’t stop us fretting and thinking the worst

@wellthisisshitisntit Good luck at your appointment this morning.

Nothing to report here. I don’t really feel pregnant, no booking appointment made or anything but I have booked my private NIPT Harmony test and scan for July 16th. So long to wait! Still got really sore boobs and I feel a bit tired and yucky on and off. My skin is awful too at the moment which leads me to think this will be a girl based on previous experiences! I could find out at 11 week through the Harmony test but not sure!

[wellthisisshitisntit]

So, I have had my scan, I have a pregnancy of unknown location, there is a small structure at the top of my womb but it's so tiny they can't see anything in it.

I've had my bloods taken, and I've got to wait for my hcg levels, they're going to call me before lunch with the next steps but have told me to prepare for the worst

[star1980]

Oh god @wellthisisshitisntit you must be out of your mind Hang on in there for the test results - I guess they just need to have increased to suggest things are going in the right direction. Did they say they would expect to see more for your stage? Still hoping for you

[YouWhoNeverArrived]

Not quite, @star1980 - the rate of increase is important in a pregnancy of unknown location. If bHCG is increasing as expected, it's good news. If it's increasing, but slower than expected, that can suggest badness like an ectopic pregnancy.

Fingers crossed for you, @wellthisisshitisntit.

[star1980]

Thanks @YouWhoNeverArrived, I didn’t know that. I see, that’s why people talk about the doubling rate.

[tisonlymeagain]

I am sorry you didn't get better news @wellthisisshitisntit

[ivyleaf4]

I'm so sorry @wellthisisshitisntit

Hoping you might get some good news.

[GoodShipSerenity]

Fingers crossed so tightly for you @wellthisisshitisntit

[tisonlymeagain]

On my way to hospital as just had sex and afterwards I was bleeding, quite a lot of bright red blood. I don't want to go as can't see the point but DP insists. Got a very bad feeling. I'm only 5+1 so pretty sure nothing would show on a scan yet.

[wellthisisshitisntit]

Sadly my levels have dropped so I'm now waiting for the impending miscarriage to start, I have to go back into hospital Monday.

Thank you all for you kind words, I wish you all the best with your babies

[star1980]

@wellthisisshitisntit I am so so sorry to hear. Take care You will be ok x

[star1980]

@tisonlymeagain sorry to hear you’re bleeding. Surely it can’t be the sex. Hope all is ok at hospital and it turns out to be a false alarm.

[ivyleaf4]

@wellthisisshitisntit I'm so so sorry

@tisonlymeagain hope all goes well at the hospital, hopefully it's just one of those things and no cause for concern.

As for me, the bleeding has stopped for now so just a case of seeing what happens over the next few days...

[tisonlymeagain]

Just out, thank you all.

As I am only 5+2 the sonographer won't see me, but they've done blood tests to check the progesterone and HCG and then the sister is going to call me to make a plan. If they are looking good she'll book me in for a scan next week when I am 6 weeks. She also gave me a pregnancy test to do next week when she tells me too. She did say it's possible it could be something on my cervix. For now the bleeding has completely stopped, not a hint. So I guess it's just a waiting game now.

[Jayne79]

So today I sign for a new car I've wanted for ages. I then go to the bathroom and two small spots of blood on my knickers, orange watery when I wiped. I was shaking and teary alls fine now it's stopped. Anyone else have similar? I just thought the universe thought I was too happy! Stupid I know 🙈

[ivyleaf4]

@tisonlymeagain that sounds like good news!

@jayne79 that sounds similar to what i had this morning. Fingers crossed it's nothing, how far along are you? Dr Google tells me it can be completely normal (but of course that doesn't stop us worrying).

[Jayne79]

Ivyleaf4 I'll be 6 wks on Sunday. I've a headache too ☹️ Probably through worrying x

[Jayne79]

@tisonlymeagain that happened me a few times with my first pregnancy. The midwife just said everything inside is just more sensitive and sex can cause slight bleeding X hope alls ok x

[tisonlymeagain]

Thanks @Jayne79 hoping it's just that. Going to be terrified to have sex now.

EPU just called - didn’t have progesterone results back but HCG is around 14,500 thousand (seems high to me?) and on that basis she has booked me in for a scan on Monday afternoon as she said at that level they will be able to see something.

No more bleeding so trying to remain positive.

[Givealittlebit]

So sorry to hear about everyone's worries!
Sending some love to everyone who needs it

[GoodShipSerenity]

@thisisshitisntit sorry to hear that update. Take care of yourself

Also sending well wishes to @tisonlymeagain @Jayne79 and @ivyleaf4.

After previously saying I didn't have any symptoms I spent yesterday feeling light headed, hot and cold, exhausted and with waves of nausea. And more than a hint of being pale as told to me by a colleague.
