1DPO

[MrsL2019]

Im offically 1dpo! Does anyone want to join me in the agonising TWW?!

@MrsL2019 hello! Today is 5+0 for me, the brown spotting hasn’t turned into anything so far and hasn’t got any heavier, now just kind of brown tinged light CM. So fingers crossed it doesn’t get any worse. I did a preg test yesterday and got an absolute dye stealer so that was a bit reassuring, but I know that doesn’t guarantee anything!

Still so crampy though! I would say a sharper pain than the normal achy feeling I get before period, after a few days of being one sided it feels mostly central so far today so hopefully it’s just things moving around 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I’ve now of course started to worry about ectopic pregnancy - my DH thinks I’ve lost the plot 😂

Had a cry yesterday saying how from now on I’ll just be worried about the baby for the rest of my life. If we’re lucky to get good news in a first scan then my next worry will be genetic testing, then birth, then wondering if baby developing fast enough once it’s earth side, then worried about teenager out on drunken nights - the realisation that the worry will never end!! 😂😂

How are you going @MrsL2019? are you also Mrs2019x on the due September thread? I’m too scared to join the Facebook group incase I jinx it haha, want to wait until first scan.

@snowitall glad the spotting has started to ease for you! How far will you be for your first scan?

You are absolutely right about constant worry, i worried all through my first pregnancy and now shes 2 and a half i still constantly worry! I dont think i will ever stop, but i feel so full knowing i have someone i care about so much that i worry constantly if that makes sense.

I havnt joined any of the groups for when im due, based on my LMP i should be due very end of August but with my girl my due date got pushed back by 3 weeks from scans. Unfortunately my bloods on Friday didnt show the best news, my HCG hasnt doubled it has only gone up by 60%. I have a scan on Tuesday to see if we can find out what is going on

Oh I’m so sorry to hear that @MrsL2019! I’m hoping for a good result for you x

I’ve called the EPU near me today, I was so uncomfortable last night I had to sleep sitting up in a chair, and have one sided niggles. A bit concerned about ectopic so hopefully they agree to an early scan. Hoping for a happier explanation though.

@snowitall how did you get on with EPU? Did you manage to speak to anyone?

I did get hold of them, they called me back yesterday and booked me in for a scan this morning @MrsL2019. Unfortunately it is ectopic in the fallopian tube. It’s been spotted very early (5+2) so they are starting to monitor the HCG now to see if it can be passed naturally.

Hoping for better news for you tomorrow :)

@snowitall i am so so sorry to read this💔 i hope you are taking it easy, but i am so glad they managed to scan you quickly. I hope it passes on its own, as awful as it is. Please take care and if you need anyone to talk to know i am here

Thanks so much @MrsL2019 ! How are you going and did you get good news? X

@snowitall how are you doing?

They confirmed the pregnancy is in the right place but no heartbeat yet, ive got to go back in 2 weeks for another scan x

That’s really positive! I’m so happy for you @MrsL2019 :)

I’m good, just back and forth to St Thomas’s EPU the last 3 days, first HCG was 1900 and progesterone 79, now waiting for EPU to call with the HCG results from today to decide next steps. Feeling fine emotionally now, just want to deal with it in the most optimal way so my body can recover x
