Thought I’d start this as a follow up from the ‘TTC NOVEMBER 2021’ thread for everyone who got their BFPs! ☺️

@SantiagoSister I haven’t had any bleeding or discharge, just the same clear cm. I’m guessing it was just really having a stretch in there to get ready for it all!? I’m quite excited to see the little blob on a scan! I’m going on 27th December and I’ll be 7+3. So I know we won’t see very much, but hoping we’ll be able to see the little fluttery heartbeat ☺️ Though I know potentially we won’t, I feel hopeful!

@Leilei95, I second @Caslo. A frer at this point as you’re late would be quite accurate. Wishing you all the good luck 💕

Hi all, hope it's ok to join. I got my BFP on Thursday, due on 19th August with baby #2. I felt quite sick on Thursday which is why I tested but have had no symptoms since. I had a bit of nausea with baby #1 but was quite mild so hoping for the same again. Hope everyone is doing ok this morning. I feel like time is going so much slower since I found out 😂 xxx

That’s really positive @ajayelbee, I’m the same too, let’s hope it’s just normal for us and just things stretching about in there! Wishing you all the luck for the 27th, it’s absolutely amazing to see the little bean and their heart flickering away. I had a scan in my last pregnancy at 7+2 and we saw the little heartbeat, it’s magical!

Hi @Cb31, congratulations and welcome to the thread 😊

CountryGirl189 · 12/12/2021 09:47

Currently 5w+2d and had awful sore boobs yesterday, but has gotten better today and have felt queasy the past few days.

Can’t bear the thought of anything sweet or milky (as an avid Starbucks fan, devo’d that the thought of it now makes me feel sick!), but not feeling too bad this morning so going to give it a go… might regret it later 😂

I also have SPD pain already which worries me a bit, but we’ll see how that goes!

We’re going for an early scan between Christmas and New Year 🥰

Every little thing worries me and I won’t lie, my boobs are getting on my nerves because one day they’re painful, next day they’re not! But OH doesn’t seem phased whatsoever!

CountryGirl189 · 12/12/2021 09:58

Was also meant to say that I’ve also self referred and have an initial appointment in two weeks, just before Christmas!

Hoping our sweet bean sticks 🥰

CinderellaFant · 12/12/2021 18:40

Hi everyone just checking in. Had a busy weekend and I'm exhausted. Still not really having many symptoms so I went and bought another pregnancy test incase I imagined it all, and my very faint line last weekend has turned into a very strong line today, so feeling very relieved at that! I will be 6 weeks tomorrow.

Cb31 · 12/12/2021 18:40

Just wondering if anyone is planning to have the covid booster jab soon? I feel a bit uneasy having it in the first trimester but obviously don't want to get covid x

I'm a yes, our fertility clinic has recommended. I'm so covid concerned just now. As a teacher I've had them write a risk assessment that ensures I'm informed of any cases in the school. 4.5 more days to try get through.

Would anyone like to be part of an August babies Facebook group?

I was part of one with my first child and it was invaluable!

I can make the name something cryptic so your friends won't see your news prematurely.

If you want to join, send me a private message and I'll send you the details!

MeatyRvita · 12/12/2021 19:16

@Caslo no I’ve got a 4 year old ds! But I don’t remember being this anxious when I was pregnant with him! lol

@ajayelbee I’m in Dorset- we have to self refer online but not before 6 weeks apparently! When I was pregnant with ds a few years ago we lived in a different area so this system is all new to me! Lol

My only symptoms today- being so ravenously hungry, gassy and bloated.

JMPB · 12/12/2021 19:25

Hey ladies can I join? Wasn’t in the original group, but got my BFP a couple of weeks ago and due on the 9th August 💕 we were trying to a year, and just starting fertility testing when I got my positive! This is baby 1 for us
Been having fair bad nausea for about 10 days but no sickness as of yet. Had headache every day since before I got my BFP and my boobs are KILLING! I was praying for symptoms so i felt more pregnant and now I’m praying for them to go away 😂

MeatyRvita · 12/12/2021 19:36

@Cb31 I’ve got mine booked for beginning of Jan. bit nervous about it but I’ve done a lot of thinking about it and I’m confident with my decision to have it done- but I totally understand your hesitation!

@TH22 I’m up for that but I don’t know how to private message on here Grin

MeatyRvita · 12/12/2021 19:38

@JMPB welcome, and congrats! Smile

ajayelbee · 12/12/2021 20:08

@SantiagoSister ah thank you! I’m quite excited for the scan now! Feels like such a long way away still. How have you been feeling today?

@MeatyRvita ah okay, yes it’s the same in my area, I’m in Sussex. Have to refer online but not before 6 weeks.

@Cb31 I’ve just booked my booster for next Sunday. I’m fair nervous about it, but on balance it seems so much riskier to catch covid. My DH found this link for me to read through and it swayed me: www.rcog.org.uk/en/guidelines-research-services/coronavirus-covid-19-pregnancy-and-womens-health/covid-19-vaccines-and-pregnancy/covid-19-vaccines-pregnancy-and-breastfeeding/

@CountryGirl189 I’ve gone completely off sweet things too! Not a bad symptom for this tempting time of year! 🤣

Hi all! I’m first time pregnant, 31, from London. Feeling very nervous as I had a scan on Friday and they said I was 5-and-a-half weeks, but according to my LMP I should be 7+5… however, my cycle is fairly irregular so I’m trying to be hopeful. Have a follow-up scan booked for 21st Dec so will hopefully know a bit more then. All being well should be due around Aug 8th x

SantiagoSister · 12/12/2021 22:18

Aw I bet @ajayelbee, time does seem to be going so slowly while we wait for scans. I’ve been feeling better today thank you, just a few very mild cramps and none like yesterday thankfully. Resting heart rate is very high which I remember with my last pregnancy! How have you been feeling?

ajayelbee · 12/12/2021 22:26

@SantiagoSister ah I’m glad you’ve had a less crampy day! I’ve been alright today, although I could have gone back to bed in the middle of today and slept through I reckon! 😴

OP posts:
SantiagoSister · 12/12/2021 22:45

Thanks @ajayelbee 😊 glad you’ve been alright today too. I’m with you on the tiredness lol 😴

Caslo · 12/12/2021 23:52

@closingtime101 welcome Smile congratulations on your first BFP! Can I ask how long are your cycles on average? I hope the difference between your LMP and scan is due to you ovulating later. Let us know how the re-scan goes, I’ve got mine 10 days after you x
