Hoping for a new year miracle!

[Jonesbabynumber1]

We’ve had some beautiful success stories so hoping they continue.

I was taking the pregnancy vits and they wanted me on 5mg of folic acid as soon as I told them until 12 weeks so ask your gp straight away. Go from first day of your last period, so when you find out you should be 4 weeks by your missed period, you're counted as pregnant 2 weeks before you ovulate which is weird @Jonesbabynumber1 🤷🏽‍♀️🤣

@BabyB19 amazing advice thank you, I’ll defo book In the private scans. I’m 30 in two weeks and I’ve said to my husband this could be the best present I could have wished for. Hopefully I get a good GP, I’m curious if they’ll want me to go in or do it over the phone

Yes that’s what confused me that your two weeks before actually being pregnant I suppose not everyone like us lot who know the ins and outs of our cycles 🙈😂

It's weird isn't it! Like I'm in the 6th month now but still have 4 to go?! Baffling hahah. The dr isn't likely to want to see you, they have kept me away at all costs. All the booking in apps at 8 weeks with your midwife are over the phone atm @Jonesbabynumber1 x

Can anyone see this line? From this morning 😬🤞🏼

@Jonesbabynumber1 yeah I just downloaded loads of apps and put in the first day of last period and they all came out the same so I just relied on the app lol. @mrsgtobe97 I can't really :( how many dpo are you?

Not too sure how many DPO, just took another one and an OPK, I think I can see a line 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

@BabyB19 @Jonesbabynumber1 @Tbug

I took folic acid form when I found out up to about 6/7 weeks but it make me feel so sick so I did stop and the nausea eased I tried combined and on it's own but it just did not agree with me.

@mrsgtobe97 I can see something faint wait a couple of days and test again you'll probably get a good line! 😬 I wouldn't go off opk though, I never got a positive when I found out I was pregnant

@mrsgtobe97 I can see something definitely! Try Ad get some proper tests and do another one tuesday 🤞🏼 I say this like I could have ever waited 48 hours 🤣

@BabyB19 @MrsCl19 thanks guys :) showed DF and of course being male he thinks because it's faint it's negative, so that's gotten me down but will keep testing and will order some tests tonight, hopefully I can prove him wrong 🤣 ugh MEN!

Mine was the same, he was like just do another one next week. NEXT WEEKKKK! Ahahah. As if any of us are waiting a week to retest @mrsgtobe97 🤣 xx

@BabyB19 it's when people say wait 48 hours because we all know the line is better but we still don't and do 6 in that 48 hours 🤣

@BabyB19 @MrsCl19 hahaha yes! I tried to explain that if there wasn't any hormone at all it would be white yet there is a line so there's something 😂😂. He won't believe it until it's prominent which I don't think happens often with IC!

I was about a week late by the time I had a dark dark line on an IC I think @mrsgtobe97 exactly @MrsCl19 youve peed on 14 sticks by the time a week comes around ahah x

In two days I’ve poas 10 times 🙈 I’m finally resisting urge to pee on any thing else today but won’t be surprised if as the week goes on I do. No shame just do what’s best for you @mrsgtobe97

Morning all, rang GP receptionist just wanted to put me in with midwife for phone call at 8 weeks but I’ve asked to speak to Gp to discuss folic acid and previous low iron my last test for ferritin was 17 which they count as normal but doesn’t leave me with much in reserve. So will wait and see what they say

GP was nice said midwife will do iron screen when bloods are taken, no need for extra folic acid as BMI under 30 and no past medical history to say a higher dose is needed. So just need to take each day as it comes

Glad you've pushed to speak to a gp @Jonesbabynumber1 so people must be just left to get on with absolutely no help atm. How you doing? I haven't bloody slept again, got 2 hours last night 😭 hope you don't all have this to look forward to!

@MrsCl19 I can not believe how much that other board has taken off my phone has gone ape shit with all the messages! 🤣 it's not for the faint hearted either 🤣👍🏼

@BabyB19 No one checking on woman’s mental health or doing any screening receptionist did ask any skilled questions which is poor. Especially as pregnant woman classed as vulnerable group at moment. I’m ok did test this morning and line looks stronger, so thats a relief but doing some knicker checking as AF due today and feel a bit anxious. Told my manager and she was surprisingly supportive and advised I can work from home at moment. Nothing else left to do but to take each day as it comes ❤️❤️❤️

I really hope you can take my advice and just enjoy this beginning bit and not let anxiety take over like I did, I regret not being able to enjoy this beginning bit 🥰 @Jonesbabynumber1 I'm just doing loads of research atm as a ftm with no antenatal classes to go to etc I feel a bit in the dark about what's about to happen, and don't think having a baby is something you can just wing is it.
Glad your manager has been supportive now it's a good sign she will be ongoing 👍🏼
Any updates on you @dizzy85 hope you're ok xx

@BabyB19 yes I’m really trying to relax I think being at home is helping as not feeling urgency to run to toilet to check and aim to Try and just test once a day in morning. I really mean it when I say it’s so good to have this chat. What pregnancy group you on I’m wondering if it’s time or whether to leave it a little longer?

I'm on one called Christmas babies if you want me to add you? X

There's a few pregnancy boards, I started one just for this group graduates who got bfps but there's only a couple of messages so far so when everyone's ready I can tag you in that one if you want? @Jonesbabynumber1 I did one last night asking what to really expect on labour and it's had 200 replies already, it's an eye opener 🤣

Morning everyone, I was on this thread a while back and still have it bookmarked to follow. So so lovely to see all these positive posts and I hope everything goes well for everyone. I had a chemical back in early January and got my BFP the next month so 16 weeks today. It's difficult at the moment with all the uncertainty and I really feel for first time mums especially as you have nothing to compare the experience too in terms of antenatal care etc. Anyway, hope you don't mind me popping on to say hi.
