New thread as the other one is about to go!! Defo forgotten a few peeps! Please add ladies!

@hoola23 yeah eating an drinking well. Glad your scan goes well. Mine is at 6:30 tonight. Anxious all day waiting

@Aims1991 sometimes your blood pressure can drop too low which can cause fainting. Hope it goes ok this eve!

Good news on the scan @hoola23 I'm glad all is ok!! Why do they want to give progesterone? I know that low levels can cause miscarriage, and plenty of people are prescribed progesterone as an easy fix for this, but at 9 weeks you'd think if your levels were that low you'd know by now. Have they done a blood test to check?

Good luck for the scan @Aims1991! Thinking of you.

CD11 for me here and some EWCM today. Waiting for DD to go to bed to act on it... I've got an internal ultrasound on Wednesday to check some stitch like pain I've been having since the miscarriage. Hope it doesn't interfere with anything! 😬

Baby was all good and wriggling about like mad, got measured at about 9 + 2

11dpo now with brown discharge when I wiped just now. AF not due for another 2 days. Either implantation or early AF. Time will tell!

@Aims1991 that's great! I thought you were a week ahead of me?! We will both be due pretty much the same day!!

We've decided to tell DH children this weekend who are 14 & 12 and I'm terrified of their reaction! Any advice @newtolineofduty

Congratulations @hoola23 and @Aims1991 so pleased for you both!

@hoola23 the kids were only 4 and 6 when we told them first time round so we just did it by showing them a scan picture and getting them to guess what it was etc! Maybe if you're worried do it in a fun way like with one of those scratch cards with a message inside/underneath etc then just check in after how they're feeling about it! Xxx

Lovely picture @Aims1991 so pleased that all was well!

I went for an internal scan today. The lady showed me my ovaries and womb etc. and all is apparently perfect! Actually she showed me a "nice juicy" egg ready to release and told me to go home and catch it!! 🤞🏻

@MrsRosaline oh wow that's so cool! That egg could be a baby very soon!!!! Yes, go and get that egg fertilised 🤣🤣🤣

Well I'm back to cd1 as of today. I had spotting for the last 2 days which I never get so that's a bit strange. Never mind onwards and upwards 😊

Feeling very frustrated today!! Got a peak reading this morning but it's Saturday which means it's us with DD all day so no opportunity to do anything until evening when she's asleep! 🤦🏻‍♀️😭

Sorry to hear you are CD1 @jadew88.

@MrsRosaline don't panic! Evening is fine to DTD, if you can do it today tomorrow and the day after for extra measure 🤣 Keeping everything crossed for you hun! X

Haha thanks! We did it twice yesterday, so hopefully another tonight will be ok 🤷🏻‍♀️ how is everything @hoola23 ?

@MrsRosaline woohoo! Twice in one day, check you out!!

Same old over here, just living a life of vomiting and nausea 🤣🤣

Ah yes. @hoola23 it's the worst. I wouldn't wish it on anyone!

In other news... DD just tested positive for Covid so now I'm worried if we have actually conceived and then I get sick. 🤦🏻‍♀️

@MrsRosaline that's great news about the scan!!!!!!!!!!! Don't worry about covid hun if your vaccinated you'll be fine! We've had it in our house and I've been fine x

Hey @newtolineofduty that's really reassuring to hear. Was your DD ok? We went for PCRs tonight. She is having very strong LFTs but both DH and I are testing negative. We'll see what the PCR results are...

I had Covid last Christmas and was quite sick with it actually. So I'm hoping having had it before, and being double jabbed will help. Not got around to the booster yet...

@MrsRosaline and it's most likely the omicron variant so only mild. So it was my DSS 9 that had it but no one else caught it! He was fine other than things tasting odd! X

Thanks @newtolineofduty. She has a temperature, headache and generally feeling unwell. Hopefully it doesn't last long. 😩

@mrsrosaline Aww bless her x it's currently doing the rounds in my daughters nursery room but managed to avoid it so far! X

Yes I'm sure that's where she's caught it from @newtolineofduty she's not really been anywhere else!

Hey ladies! How's everyone doing? We have the big anomoly scan next week and I'm feeling sooooo nervous! Can't come soon enough!

@MrsRosaline how many DPO are you? Xx

@hoola23 is your sickness any better? Xxx

Hey @newtolineofduty omg your baby will be here before you know it! What happens at the anomaly scan?!

I'm doing ok, still have sickness and vomit a lot but 50% better than I was feeling which I'm pleased about! I had my first midwife appt today and she was SO lovely. First nhs scan on the
3rd feb and still terrified they'll say there's no heartbeat as I'm still bleeding/spotting every day! We told the kids too last weekend and they've actually been great, excited etc I'm sure there will be some jealous feelings but that's to be expected I guess!

How is everyone else? @Aims1991 @plantbasedlondoner

@MrsRosaline how are we feeling about this month? Xx

@hoola23 aww that's wonderful! So the anomoly scan is the 20 week scan where they basically do all the measurements and checking of the organs etc xx I'm just so scared there will be something wrong after a couple of really sad experiences that family have had etc, and my natural tendency to think the worst! X

@newtolineofduty ah ok! I wish I could give words of wisdom but I'm a worrier too and would think just like you!!! I'm sure everything will be fine though and little one will be absolutely gorgeous!! I'm so jealous how close you are to the end!! I'm wishing the weeks away!!
