Feeling pregnant but no bfp yet

Hi ladies,
I've been pregnant before and feeling similar symptoms but AF not due for a few more days. I have tested a few times with different tests, all came back negative. AF is due in 5 days so I tried a clearblue digital but came back negative. I know it might still be early or I might just be imagining my symptoms. Anyone have a similar experience? Did you end up being pregnant or not?

@Mum637k I really feel for you. Going to the 12 week scan and having bad news was definitely the worst one. It's such a bitter sweet environment I think and awful for those who receive bad news in there. I do find the EPU more bearable. So I'm sorry that happened. I was so naive with my first and didn't realise how common mmc were. I thought because I'd not bled all was fine.

Thank you both for your kind words. I also am praying for good news for you too. There has definitely been times where I've not felt strong. My partner has been amazing and has definitely given me the strength to carry on. The only bummer is I've gained about 3 stone since my first miscarriage, but I think I forget what my body has been through and i can sort my weight later. I use to be a skinny size 8 but now I'm a 14 🙄😂

Mum637k · 01/05/2019 22:12

@Pop1234 yeah, you can sort it later if it bothers you right now you need to be comfortable and relaxed,that's what's most important. Your body has been through a lot and recovered and came out stronger than ever 😊 tell your body good job! I was really mad at my body for some time then I thought to myself what if I just appreciate that it was able to recover from trauma/surgery? My OH helped me realise healing can't be taken for granted and is something to be appreciated ❤️

Sad things aside, any of you ladies getting greasy hair/acne? 😆 I have noticed my hair getting greasy really quikcly and just spotted some small spots on my chest 😒

@Pop1234 @Mum637k every day is a blessing for us all, and we'll never take for granted the miracles growing inside us x

Ok, so acne...Yeah that's a joy I've just discovered this past week, my forehead is awful breaking out, and chest too, how weird! Hair is actually looking good, thicker and shinier for me

Mum637k · 01/05/2019 22:20

@Katy85 good for you! My hair is tooo shiny 😂 stuffy nose anyone? Can't breathe at night over here

OP posts:
Mum637k · 01/05/2019 22:26

@Katy85 @Pop1234 I also getup in the night to wee now,1-4 am at some point. Farewell good night's sleep 😆

OP posts:
Katy85 · 01/05/2019 22:31

I never make it through the night without having to get up for a wee, I even try and stop drinking fluid after teatime and it makes no bloody difference. But yay for my hair, I have very straight and thin hair so having some body is nice, I had it last time too

Mum637k · 02/05/2019 07:35

@Katy85 same here so I've started letting myself drink before bed so I don't wake up parched 😆 since I'll have to go anyway. Yay for pretty hair!

@Mum637k @Katy85 I'm not feeling strong today as I've gone back to feeling anxious 😩 think it's because realistically I've never got this far so just expecting something to go wrong. It's crap.

Katy85 · 02/05/2019 14:00

@Pop1234 hang in there lovely, totally understandable you'd feel like this once you'd got to this stage. Have a relax,and do something to treat yourself to make you feel better/take your mind off it. I've taken a liking to non alcoholic red wine personally.

Mum637k · 02/05/2019 15:26

@Pop1234 yeah it's totally understandable how you are feeling. I second the non-alcoholic wine, it's like juice 😄

Pop1234 · 02/05/2019 19:59

@Katy85 @Mum637k thanks ladies. It's because I've been off work as felt so rough this morning. Just had to much time to over think. I'm deffo going in tomorrow!!

Mum637k · 03/05/2019 09:38

@Pop1234 @Katy85 how is everyone feeling today? I got a bit of nausea yesterday afternoon&evening and the fatigue was pretty bad all day. Today so far so good 😄

OP posts:
Pop1234 · 03/05/2019 09:50

@Mum637k @Katy85 yay for symptoms!!

I'm ok thank you just counting down the days to Wednesday. Got this pain in my neck/shoulder that I think is absolutely not pregnancy related but can't help but worry about it. Back at work today though so I don't feel anxious and worried like yesterday!!

Katy85 · 03/05/2019 14:57

@Pop1234 @Mum637k it's so weird to be happy about feeling sick 😂. I'm pretty sure my nausea is completely gone now (almost at 11 weeks now!), I'm tired today but I had a bad nights sleep (up for a wee as usual and my son has had a few bad nights, think he's growing through a growth spurt so it sends him sleep patterns off). I'm working from home today so I've been in my pjs all day! I've got this weird "pressure" very down low, assuming it's just more stretching

Inthesky42 · 05/05/2019 09:46

How are we all doing ladies?

Chembecky · 05/05/2019 15:52

Hi @Inthesky42 - I'm feeling pretty good - how about you?

Don't really have many symptoms...no sickness yet...just have really sore boobs! Other than that I don't really feel pregnant...! I've booked an early scan at 9 weeks so we can check everything is ok before telling our mums!

Mum637k · 05/05/2019 20:01

@Inthesky42 I have pretty prominent fatigue, and sore boobs. Nausea on occasion, mostly in the afternoon or night. How are you doing?

OP posts:
Inthesky42 · 05/05/2019 20:13

I'm not feeling bad. Very tired. Sore boobs on and off and a bit of nausea on and off but no sickness. Have massively gone off the smell of fish though! Main issue is I'm so bloated I look about 4 months gone! Hitting 8 weeks tomorrow. Booking in appt Friday and have booked a private scan for the week after as I've been worrying too much about something going wrong! Good luck to you all x

Katy85 · 06/05/2019 11:39

@Inthesky42 Hi, (and everybody else of course) glad to hear everyone is doing good! I've been trying to keep good and active this bank holiday weekend, walking up big hills and around reservoirs in the peak district. First day today in a long while where I actually feel really good, think I'm past the worst of the first trimester symptoms now. Still an agonising two weeks today til the first scan

roxanaalday · 06/05/2019 12:28

will not feeling good had 1 think positive and one that was a little darker and the faint positive at 12dpo & 14dpo and on day 16dpo I started cramping really bad and I guess af showed up 😥😔was super excited when we got too faint positives guess we can try again

Mum637k · 06/05/2019 22:04

@roxanaalday so sorry to hear 😞 you can certainly try again and hopefully will catch soon 🤞🏻

roxanaalday · 06/05/2019 22:13

I hope so

Pop1234 · 07/05/2019 17:10

How's everyone doing/feeling? How far gone are you now @Mum637k

Katy85 · 08/05/2019 06:41

@Pop1234 not feeling too bad at the moment, just still a little tired but everything else had died down. Onto the second trimester symptoms now, had a nosebleed in the shower this morning! How are you doing? X

Pop1234 · 08/05/2019 07:38

@Katy85 still got a few symptoms. Had some brown blood last night though. Literally the tiniest bit but I'm absolutely bricking my scan today now. Is a nose bleed a second trimester symptom? I never knew that!!
