Hello!
Any one else received their first BFP this month!? I am 4+5. Due November 10 and would love to talk to some other first time mummies as every twinge and niggle sends me into panic at the moment!! I'm sure I'm not the only one...

Nicolemccurry hope all goes well this morning with your scan xx

MrsB12345 · 01/04/2017 10:00

Goodluck @nicole

Lemondrop09 · 01/04/2017 11:34

MrsJ, I can't remember, are you on medication for your HG? I didn't want to take pills, but it's the only thing that's helped.

Had our 12 weeks scan last week, and the nuchal waa fine. My blood results came through and baby is low risk for Downs etc Smile. Contemplating having a 16 week scan for reassurance and to check gender. 20 weeks seems so far away!

ew1990 · 01/04/2017 13:15

@Nicolemccurryx let us know how you got on xxx

sophr2017 · 01/04/2017 15:22

Lemon, great news! Mine is Tuesday and I can't wait! I thought about the 16 week scan as well as I go on holiday at 18 weeks so would like to know gender and that all is ok before! We must be spending a fortune on scans between us 😂

Jessiecat27 · 01/04/2017 16:48

So sorry to hear tillums

Squigglefish · 01/04/2017 16:55

lemondrop09 that's very reassuring because I've had to take medication too. Not everyday, just on bed days. I know it's been used for years woth no problems but the worrying is always there. I'm really nervous about the nuchal translucency check.

mrsjkerry · 01/04/2017 17:53

Yes @Lemondrop09 I've got pills. I really don't want to use them. I had to take one this morning and since then I've been absolutely fine today. Odd because yesterday was a terrible day for nausea. However, just now when I went to the toilet there was a brown stain sort of mark on my underwear. They are old knickers I haven't worn in a while, so I can't decide if it's an old stain I didn't notice when I put them on this morning or if I've bled at some point today. There was no blood or anything when I wiped so I'm hoping it's nothing.

Afternoon ladies, I've had a quick skim through the last 48hrs of posts, sorry the sickness is making some of you feel so poorly 😷

tillums I'm in the swansea area... are you nearby? Drop me an inbox if you like xx

The funeral I went to was lovely, very sad of course but so nice to see family we haven't seen for years, cousins who were babies when I saw them last and the lady who passed away would have loved seeing us all together eating, talking and sharing memories. It was a difficult day but we have such a lovely family 🌺

As for me, I think this will be my last post on this board for a while. I started absolutely flooding yesterday girlies, and have been in absolute agony with cramps ever since.
After the first couple of days of brown spotting, and then a day of nothing, I did foolishly think I was still in with a chance, even with the dodgy hcg levels, I clutched that straw like there was no tomorrow.
But the tomorrow came, and with it came bright red heavy blood which is literally dripping from me. I'm so sorry to be so detailed. I'm absolutely heartbroken and feel like my future has been ripped away from me. I can't look my hubs in the eye although I know he doesn't blame me, it hurts me more that he's putting on such a brave face while I'm a hysterical mess.
Not gonna lie, it's been an awful couple of days with the long journey as well. I'm now in bed still in agony and just praying this is the worst bit and will soon be over. Stomach pains are like the worst period pains you can imagine, I've been curled up crying covered in goosepimples. You don't get warned about this shizzle. I feel wretched.
I've got a scan Monday at 11 which I've no doubt is going to confirm what's going on. If the pain gets much worse I may ring nhs direct for advice later coz although they haven't seemed overly concerned about ectopic, they also have not definitely ruled it out because they couldn't see anything in my sac, which meant they couldn't confirm it was implanted in the right place.

So I just wanted to thank you all so much for your kindest and most lovely words of support. You are a fab bunch and I wish you all the safest, healthiest and happiest of pregnancies and the most beautiful and healthiest babies 💕
I will be back on the ttc boards soon, and will always have the same name so keep an eye out for me in the future. I need to take a few days to get my head together and sort myself out, physically and mentally. I was born to be a mum and I will try again. But this first time, this little seed just wasn't meant to be.
Lots of love and luck to you all xxx

ew1990 · 01/04/2017 19:04

@MistyBxx your post has just brought a tear to my eye, I'm so sorry that this is happening to you, your right you were born to be a mum and I've no shadow of a doubt you will be a brilliant one! Please keep in touch in the future, I will keep an eye out for you and wish you all the best! Lots and lots of hugs 😘😘 xxx

Squigglefish · 01/04/2017 19:33

So sorry to hear Misty, keep strong and be kind to yourself xx

mrsjkerry · 02/04/2017 13:52

@MistyBxx thinking of you and hoping you're ok. Been with you since the start of your TTC journey and know what an amazing mum you will make. Definitely one day and hopefully next BFP is a sticky one! I'll be looking out for your name and waiting to see you again. Will miss you lots xx

Tillums · 02/04/2017 14:53

Oh Misty I am so sorry so hear this.
I know exactly what you are going through.
I have heard that the pain can be on par with contractions. On my last mc I was prescribed cocodamol for the pain and I was still in agony and could have sworn blind that they did nothing at all, so I dread to think the pain I would have been in if I didn't have them!
Once you are over this and ttc again you will be extra fertile and will hopefully catch quickly next time round!
I'm in Newport so I'm not far from you Hun! We have friends in Swansea too, it's a lovely place. I would inbox you but I'm not sure how to do it on the app on my phone? But I'm sure I'll speak to you again soon when you restart your baby journey.

Thank you to everyone else for all your love and support. I hope you all have magical onward journeys through your pregnancies and go on to have many beautiful babies.

Lots of love xxxxxx

MistyBxx · 02/04/2017 19:08

Oh I know mrsj you've been a pillar for me from the start chick and it's been lovely going through it together... well except for this bit of course. I'm feeling more positive today (maybe the sunshine, very unusual for wales lol) and I'm looking to the future, the hopefully not too distant future when things will go right xx I will be staying on the original ttc thread so if you stay on that too, you'll be hearing from me again no doubt.
Same with you tillums would be great to see you again on the boards. Newport isn't far at all, I have only ever passed through there though. I'm the same with the inboxing, I've got the app and I've received inboxes off people which I've been able to reply to, just never been able to figure out how to send them first myself ha. I'm so sorry this has happened to you again, it really is so cruel. But like I said, we will get through it chick and we will definitely be mums! I know in wales people say "mammy" but my mum is English so I've always called her mum and I will be mummy as well 😂
Got my scan at 11:15 tomorrow morning so will find out how I will manage this situation... I'm taking ibuprofen at the moment coz the pain is horrendous, and paracetamol has never touched me. Have avoided ibuprofen throughout my pregnancy as advised, but I don't think I need to worry about that any more and looking after myself has become the priority now and I'm in pain, so ibuprofen it is. Made the world of difference to be honest. It does feel like (what I imagine) are mini contractions. The pain builds up and up til I literally have to crouch down or curl up and I'm sure it's not going to stop and then suddenly it does and the relief washes over me. This happens about every 30 minutes in the late evening from almost immediately after I've eaten my evening meal, and continues into when I'm in bed, so I'm not sleeping great right now, but less so throughout the day, even less now I'm taking the painkillers. So I would say I'm coping. Hoping nature will take its course so I don't have to be "medically managed" as such but I will see what they say at the scan tomorrow.
Once again I thank you all for your lovely words and support and I'm sure the next few months will be an amazing and exciting time for you all. Take care each and every one of you and I will see you again soon I hope.
Xxx🌺🌺

mrsjkerry · 02/04/2017 19:50

@MistyBxx please let us know you're ok after the scan and keep us updated. Really thinking of you. Could you try something to help you sleep too? If you get some proper rest you may feel better. I'll still be on the ttc thread as you know, and hopefully soon you can merge on back over here again. I'm certain it'll happen for you and you'll have your rainbow baby xx

So sorry to hear your latest updates @MistyBxx. Sending lots of love your way xx

MrsB12345 · 03/04/2017 09:14

Morning ladies. I have my first midwife appointment today. Any advice on what to ask? Check? It's at 9.30 so nothing like leaving asking for advice to the last few mins 😂

mrsjkerry · 03/04/2017 09:46

@MrsB12345 I didn't have anything I wanted to ask really. They'll lead it all and know what to ask you and what to do.

OP posts:
MrsB12345 · 03/04/2017 10:54

Thanks @mrsjkerry. All done and heading off to work. Next stop scan in a few weeks x

ew1990 · 03/04/2017 13:49

@MrsB12345 just on the way to my midwife app xxx

MistyBxx · 03/04/2017 13:56

Hey girlies, just popping on to let you know that my mc has been confirmed today. Sac is still empty but is continuing to grow (all be it slowly) as it hasn't got the message that there's no baby in there to nurture 😭
I'm incredibly sad but feel a small sense of relief that I've finally had a definitive answer after a fortnight of limbo. Just waiting for nature to take its course now for the time being. Hopefully the passing will happen quickly and I can move on with my life!
Once again thank you all so much for putting up with me, I hope my experience hasn't terrified any of you too much, scary as this is, it is still a minority, MOST people have fine and healthy pregnancies so please try not to worry. My only advice would be to listen to your own body. If you're worried about anything, at all, get it checked out. Don't let anyone tell you you're worrying about nothing, even a gp! They're not gynaecologists/midwives. Trust your instincts.
Stay healthy and happy ladies, and hopefully see you in the future in happier times for me. Hugs and best wishes 🌺xxx

tmc14 · 03/04/2017 14:29

Aw Misty, I'm so sad for you but pleased you have some closure. Be kind to yourself & take care xxx (also hope to see you back here soon)

MrsC1982 · 03/04/2017 17:06

What happens in the first appointment ladies? Mine is next week and I'm really very excited!!! Grin
