@Marie1990xyea I feel more relaxed now, I told my friends & the ones in work today and my mam and well surprise my parents in law later when we call down as MIL bday! I’m away for the night tomorrow with my best friend so a lovely start to the Easter hols! How are you feeling now sickwise? X

Marie1990x · 11/04/2025 16:19

@Daniki awwww lovely! Was everyone surprised? Bet it feels so much more real telling people. So happy it’s all working out 🥰.

Yeah I haven’t felt too bad this afternoon. I was craving a subway and that really helped. Now I’ve made a big crudites platter to have in the sun which is going down well and feel better for eating some goodness 🤣

@Marie1990xoh go you! 🤣 iv salmon actually for dinner so will also feed good for eating some goodness 🤣 yes all surprised and my friends so happy as they know all the shit that has been going on over the last few years. My mam is over the moon, and said she suspected. I’d say she could see at my son’s bday party 🤣

Marie1990x · 11/04/2025 17:41

@Daniki eeek amazing. So so exciting! Bet it’s been such a lovely day 🥰.
Hahah can’t hide anything from mums! Do you have another scan coming up? 🤣.

I’m getting super anxious about Sunday again. Just want to get to the 12w stage too and relax 😅

@Marie1990xsunday will fly in and I swear it will be 12 weeks in no time! 🤣 yep I have my booking app and scan on the 28th with the maternity hospital 🙌🏻 haha I know, my MIL was telling me that my mam was asking her did she think I was pregnant as I didn’t have a drink at my sons bday 🤣

Marie1990x · 11/04/2025 19:12

@Daniki hahaha did your MIL suspect it too? Nice not too long to see little baby again then!

Yeahhhhh think after Sundays it will go quicker, just obviously hoping everything’s okay then and then I think I’ll chill a bit 🤞🏻😂. Will only be 4 weeks from then until my NHS dating scan, so not too long to wait x

@Daniki @Marie1990x couldnt hold off as aint been right for days but BFN again 😪 so probs just getting sick 😪

Marie1990x · 12/04/2025 08:56

@RRAEE oh no I’m so sorry it’s negative. Try stay positive though there’s still time. My frer was 100% negative the day before I got my obvious BFP so there’s still time! 🤞🏻

OP posts:
Daniki · 12/04/2025 09:09

@RRAEEah no 😭 but hopefully still early as you have a few days really with your cycles 🙏

Daniki · 12/04/2025 09:11

@Marie1990xshe didn’t say if she thought or not, she definitely wouldn’t ever ask or pry as she called to our house out of the blue when I was literally in the throes of the last miscarriage and seen how upset I was I think I traumatised her 😂🙈 but she said it was the best birthday present 🤣❤️ you won’t find it now til tomorrow what time is scan?

Marie1990x · 12/04/2025 09:30

@Daniki oh bless you! And that’s nice that she never pried or nagged about it, bless her! Aww that’s so sweet what she said 🫶🏻.

Back to being physically sick this morning which is weirdly reassuring 😂. I keep getting these weird sharp twinges in my lower abdomen though which is throwing me off. Google says it’s just everything stretching but doesn’t feel stretchy.

My scan is at 11:20. Hoping and praying everythings okay 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Daniki @Marie1990x i went bed so early last night as i was freezing and so exhausted 😴 had stabbing pains in my right side ovary area for a good few hours aswell. So i have no idea but no sign of af yet anyways

Marie1990x · 12/04/2025 19:31

@RRAEE really hoping it’s the beginning of something. What tests did you use? Will you re-test tomorrow?

OP posts:
RRAEE · 12/04/2025 19:40

@Marie1990x one step. Ive had a tiny bit of blood when i wiped earlier but nothing since. But i reckon af will start soon

RRAEE · 12/04/2025 21:15

@Marie1990x @Daniki well im officially out again af showed 😪

Marie1990x · 13/04/2025 06:46

@RRAEE oh I’m so sorry, that was harsh with the symptoms and then AF arriving without warning! 💔

OP posts:
Daniki · 13/04/2025 06:47

@Marie1990xdefo the stretching stuff like I had that all, just making room! Iv had loads of twinges etc and still now I was having like period type cramps which is freaking me out but I’m like I have no need to worry so stop it 🤣 ooh lovely you won’t find that, let me know how ya get on!

@RRAEEoh I’m so sorry, equally hard when you’ve had promising symptoms leading up to it 😭

RRAEE · 13/04/2025 07:18

@Marie1990x @Daniki i know it sucks! Hopefully next month is the month im not giving up yet !

Daniki · 13/04/2025 07:44

@RRAEEdefo! Don’t. It WILL happen 🙏🙏🙏 it’s an absolute pain in the ass tho 😭😭

Marie1990x · 13/04/2025 08:06

@Daniki yeah I’m sure it’s all perfectly normal, I’ll mention it today as well although I’m sure she’ll just say it’s stretching. Hahaha yes stop worrying now and start enjoying it 😂. Will definitely let you know how I get on.

@RRAEE absolutely do not give up. I was like that after 2.5 years and thought it would never happen but it has, eventually! It will happen 🫶🏻.
Have you heard any more from the doctors/referrals?

OP posts:
RRAEE · 13/04/2025 08:11

@Marie1990x no but im still just losing weight like they said which is easy as my job is quite active so thats helping alot but until i meet there goal they wont do anything.

Marie1990x · 13/04/2025 11:29

@Daniki mixed feelings about my scan. Strong heartbeat and baby definitely there, but she said I’m measuring about 6 weeks 4 days which is impossible considering my OPK’s and when we dtd 😂. I guess with them being so small it’s hard to be accurate. Going to book another in a couple of weeks 😂 x

OP posts:
Daniki · 13/04/2025 16:24

@Marie1990xthats great! I wouldn’t be worried about that measurement, I was measuring similar at my own 7 week scan! And you remember all my worrying 🤣 it’s just so early and evenings so small to be exact could even be implanted late etc! But I’d defo book another for like 2/3 weeks time as your head will be tortured thinking about it 🤣

Marie1990x · 13/04/2025 16:48

@Daniki tell me about it, I keep thinking about it and getting myself worked up. My husband can’t understand why I’m concerned about a 3-4 day difference and doesn’t get why I want to go for another scan before the nhs one.

Yeah I think I’m going to go the week commencing 28th, means it will be smack bang in between this one and our nhs one.

Ahh what were you measuring at 7 weeks? I thought you said you were behind but wouldn’t remember exactly x

OP posts:
Daniki · 13/04/2025 17:09

@Marie1990xso when I went in for my scan I should of been 7+1 but I was measuring 6+5, then when I went for my scan at 8 weeks I was measuring ahead again and correct. Went at 10 weeks and should been 10 +2 and measured 9+6. All back to normal on Friday then! It’s been a whirlwind, but at the 10 weeks one she just said it’s normal it’s very hard to measure them correctly at such an early stage as it all depends how their lieing etc! Yea do book one, just for the peace of mind. You have great hcg results and the strong heartbeat is a massive thing that decreases the miscarriage risk so much! Men just don’t get it 🤣 my husband was the same, couldn’t get over I booked the private 12 week one but sure as delighted then xx
