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!

So sorry @jayne79, hope you’re being looked after.

Chichichi · 10/06/2019 14:01

Really sorry Jayne79 Sad thinking of you x

Hannah192 · 10/06/2019 14:45

@Jayne79 so sorry to hear your news. Thinking of you 💐

YouWhoNeverArrived · 10/06/2019 14:56

So sorry to hear that, @jayne79. Flowers

@sulkysukey At 12 dpo the embryo doesn't normally share your circulation yet. I really wouldn't worry about the mebendazole.

SuzieQ10 · 10/06/2019 15:13

Is there a FB group going yet? Saw it mentioned up thread but not sure if it's in the pipeline or actually started . Thanks 😊

Hannah192 · 10/06/2019 16:03

Is anyone experiencing any symptoms yet? I’m just over 6 weeks and sort of expected to be sick by now. I have really sore boobs and one moment yesterday where I felt queasy but that’s all. I should probably be grateful that I’m not being sick rather than worrying 😂
Also, I’ve filled out the self referral. How long until people have had responses and booked in for their first appointment?

Chichichi · 10/06/2019 17:24

Only symptom I have is a slight tummy ache. I didn't have any symptoms whatsoever until about 8+ weeks with my first. This time already (at just over 4 weeks) it's already uncomfortable to lay on my stomach which does sort of worry me that something is wrong, only because so different to last time.

ECPCR2 · 10/06/2019 17:38

I've got very tender boobs and phases of lower stomach ache. I've also been incredibly emotional and short tempered with people, but not sure if that's pregnancy or general work stresses!

@Hannah192 my local service says they'll get a first appointment in within 2 weeks. Only sent mine in this afternoon so will wait and see

Givealittlebit · 10/06/2019 17:48

Sore boobs, super irritable, super tired and nausea here, struggling more than I did with my first!

KimKardash · 10/06/2019 18:02

So sorry Jayne

tisonlymeagain I've PM'd you to join the fb group

Can't wait for my scan tomorrow praying all ok. My only symptoms right now are greasy hair spots and exhaustion perhaps a bit moody

star1980 · 10/06/2019 19:42

Oh @Jayne79 I’m so so sorry Flowers Please take care, I hope you’re being looked after Sad

tisonlymeagain · 10/06/2019 19:45

@KimKardash have replied!

@SuzieQ10 PM your email attached to FB or your FB name and what's on your profile pic.

Sorry to hear your news @Jayne79 I hope you are okay x

ivyleaf4 · 10/06/2019 21:17

No real symptoms here yet, sore boobs and occasional waves of nausea. I'm torn between wanting to feel symptoms for reassurance and dreading it - had a tough time in the first trimester with my DD with terrible sickness!

sulkysukey · 11/06/2019 07:18

Thanks for the reassurance YouWho, I've been googling like mad and it seems that any harm up to 14dpo is 'all or nothing' so I'm feeling better now and not quite so fretful.

Really sorry to read your news Jayne, look after yourself.

I've had a weird couple of days of having my initial BFP, then 2 BFNs (all ICs) but with very dilute wee. Just did a First Response and I've never had a test come up positive so quickly and strong, so my emotions have been a bit up and down! Symptom wise I have sore, veiny boobs (lovely!), bleeding gums and dull cramps (although one was so painful yesterday it took my breath away). 4 weeks exactly today.

Anyone else due around 18 Feb?

Tablefortwoplease · 11/06/2019 11:14

I’ve been given my booking in appointment for the 24th June. I’d love to feel excited but really just scared at the moment! My boobs are really sore and have general aches and pains, almost period like oh and definitely moody!

It’s been so helpful reading all your posts, and quite reassuring so thanks everyone

tisonlymeagain · 11/06/2019 11:40

Finally heard back from self-referral to community midwives. They've said they'll be in touch re booking appointment which will be by 10 weeks and in the meantime they'll do scan referral which will be between 12 and 14 weeks.

14 weeks seems way late so I'm not going to risk that. Happy with my decision for NIPT now at 10 weeks.

Citybreaker · 11/06/2019 12:48

Room for 1 more? Got my positive a couple of weeks about I think I'm now 5 1/2 weeks gone. I have my booking in appt 1st July!

ECPCR2 · 11/06/2019 17:17

Congrats and welcome @Citybreaker!

I have got my booking in appointment with the hospital midwifery team sorted for this Friday! Far quicker than I thought it would come through, as the GP antenatal clinic (which I also have to go to?) can't see me until mid July!

PineappleTits · 11/06/2019 17:40

I got a BFP 8 days before my period was due. I have my booking app on 20th and my edd going off my last period and average cycle is feb 20th. My boobs feel like boulders and I have this horrible crampy shooting pain down the inside of my left leg 😫 I think heartburn is going to be the end of me.

star1980 · 11/06/2019 18:38

Hi and congrats to all the newcomers @Chichichi, @Citybreaker @ECPCR2 @PineappleTits welcome to the group!

I’m 5+6 today and have been feeling damp in my pants all day. I kept thinking I must be bleeding quite a lot but then it’s been light white discharge (sorry if tmi!) no smell or anything. Anyone had this? Should I be worried?

Chichichi · 11/06/2019 19:06

@star1980 I had that in my last pregnancy. I remember waking and thinking I was bleeding then getting home and checking and it was just discharge. And all was fine with that pregnancy. But it can be quite disconcerting until you check what it is.

Chichichi · 11/06/2019 19:07

That should read walking

SuzieQ10 · 11/06/2019 19:09

@star1980 I've had that too. I think / Hope it's normal.
Also been feeling constipated I think due to the iron & folic acid tablets I've been taking.
So rather uncomfortable!
At least no morning sickness yet.

KimKardash · 12/06/2019 02:06

@star1980 I've been having same discharge believe it's normal

@Suzie I've been having the same kind of bloated/constipated and belly ache type thing going on, so annoying!

star1980 · 12/06/2019 07:49

Thanks ladies, glad to know it’s fairly common if a bit disconcerting suddenly feeling wet!
