I'm 10-11DPO and just had BFP on a digital. I know it's incredibly early but looking at a due date March 3rd 2019!

Oh yeah, and the nausea and fatigue has been horrible for me too! I often have to go to bed just a couple of hours after getting up! Blush

Funnily enough, I don't feel as bad on the days I'm working. Perhaps because I'm distracted? But when I'm at home I feel like I've got the hangover from hell!

@CobaltRose beautiful scan pictures, congratulations!!! I have a scan booked next week for 6+5, do you think that will be too soon for a heartbeat? I'm so desperate to go as soon as possible to put my mind at ease but I also know I'll be so anxious if they don't find a heartbeat and I have to wait another week!

CobaltRose · 25/07/2018 12:55

@Catalina, congratulations and thank you Flowers

Not necessarily. The sonographer at my scan told me that you could possibly see a heartbeat from as early as late into week 5 (like 5w5d), but it's not guaranteed. You may be earlier than you thought, though I was dead on with my dates!

Even if they can't see a heartbeat, they should be able to see a sac and fetal pole. But, I should imagine that at 6+5 they have a pretty good chance of seeing a little flickering heartbeat ❤ They won't be able to see much else though. As you can see, even at 7 weeks mine just looks like a blob Grin Good luck!

CatalinaCatarina · 25/07/2018 13:00

That's really reassuring thank you @CobaltRose ! I don't even really care about it just being a blob. If there is some kind of little flickering heartbeat I'll be happy - it'll make it so much more 'real' and at least I know it's doing okay in there!! I'm such a worrier that I'll probably end up doing weekly scans lol.

CobaltRose · 25/07/2018 13:03

@CatalinaCatarina, you're welcome!

Oh god don't lol, I've actually got another scan booked next week... it'll be good to see how bean develops. The sonographer told me I'll probably be amazed at how fast little one grows!

CatalinaCatarina · 25/07/2018 13:09

@CobaltRose that's so exciting! Let us know how it goes. Did they do you a discount for booking more than one haha??

CobaltRose · 25/07/2018 13:11

@Catalina, I wish haha. The cost is more than worth it, though ❤

leighdinglady · 25/07/2018 13:26

Hi ladies. I'm really struggling to keep up with the thread but hope you're all doing well! Congrats on the early scans!
Has anyone set up a Facebook page? I'm happy to do it. Makes it far easier to follow conversations and get to know each other?

TurquoiseWeekend · 25/07/2018 13:29

Ooh good idea @leighdinglady

leighdinglady · 25/07/2018 13:33

Ok great. I'm away at the minute but will set one up tonight or tomorrow and add whoever wants to be added Smile

VillageFete · 25/07/2018 13:35

FB group sounds great!!!

angel0071987 · 25/07/2018 13:38

Yes there is a Facebook group. It's a secret group though... pm your real name and description of your fb profile and I'll try and add you.

leighdinglady · 25/07/2018 13:43

Oh great! I'm jenna Dolan - black and white photo and me and my baby girl

Angelmiracle · 25/07/2018 13:46

Phew...got it sorted. Of course I was passed to 3 different people but ended up on with the community midwife and she was lovely rang back with a new appointment. 4th Sept I'll be 11+2

I thought I could wait to dating scan but all you ladies reassurance scans are tempting me 😊

Elizabeth134 · 25/07/2018 13:48

Got my BFP just over 2 weeks ago. Think i’m due March 20th. We have not told anyone as want to make sure everything is ok. Feels sort of lonely though, we recently moved so don’t any family or close friends near by. Thinking about booking a private scan as where we are you are advised not to see the GP until at least week 8.
When would be the best week to book a scan for?

TopsyTurvyK29 · 25/07/2018 14:52

@Angel0071987 can you add me too Please. Kirsty Mckay and my photo is of me and my partner. Thank you

angel0071987 · 25/07/2018 14:58

@TopsyTurvyK29 are you the one with the dog as header pic? Or the other one?

VillageFete · 25/07/2018 15:18

I just accepted a friend request. I assume it was to do with the group?

TopsyTurvyK29 · 25/07/2018 15:24

@Angel not of the dog. Mine is my two girls sitting facing the beach

angel0071987 · 25/07/2018 15:24

@VillageFete would have been me. :)
Should now be added to group (have to be friend before you can add anyone)

angel0071987 · 25/07/2018 15:30

@TopsyTurvyK29 May have added you but one of your description wasn't coming up (I think your privacy settings are too high). Let me know if you got a friend request...

TopsyTurvyK29 · 25/07/2018 15:46

@Angel no request as of yet

TopsyTurvyK29 · 25/07/2018 15:49

ballanj · 25/07/2018 16:40

It's very exciting to see lots of people in my boat, so to speak! My due date is calculating at 17 March. Have booking in this coming Monday 30. I'm currently 7+5. Any idea when our first scan may be? Hoping before end of August.

Wishing us all healthy and happy (as we can be in this heat!) pregnancies! X
