Hello. I thought I'd start a thread for anyone that has had the good news that they are due October 2019. We can go through these looong early weeks together.

I'm 33, first pregnancy
Cycle 6
Currently cycle day 21/12 doo. First BFP at 10 dpo.

I am now testing daily to see if my BFPs are getting stronger. Also still checking temps. Anyone else feel like they have to tip toe around at this stage as everything seems so fragile?

@saltisford the bloating is definitely an IVF thing. I haven’t been able to get the skirt done up on my suit in about 3 weeks! Mind you the bloating is better now and now i’m panicking something is wrong!

Positivity86 · 16/02/2019 12:23

Hi everyone, I got my first ever BFP on Thursday after our first round of IVF. It still doesn't feel real! I'm suffering with pregnancy induced OHSS (side effect of IVF) which means I've got very swollen ovaries and fluid in my abdomen, so I've been feeling pretty rough and already look 5 months pregnant! It's all worth it though! I'm 4+3 and my estimated due date is 23 October 😊

Saltisford · 16/02/2019 12:36

@womaninkent and @Positivity86 the IVF bloat is insane! Before I got my bfp, I rang the clinic and they told me to have a day off work because of it?! They never mentioned being concerned about OHSS though! I don’t know if it is linked to the lovely suppositories lol. I have basically been living in leggings - trousers are too uncomfortable! When are your early scans? I have a 7 week one, a week on Monday x

womaninkent · 16/02/2019 15:19

@saltisford mine’s 7th March when all being well i’ll be 8 weeks 3 days. Slightly dreading it already because I don’t really feel pregnant yet.
I think the bloating issue is because all the stims bloat you and you don’t really get a chance to recover before all the lovely suppositories!

Positivity86 · 16/02/2019 17:30

@Saltisford that will come round quick! Keep an eye on your bloat because the natural pregnancy hormones stimulate your ovaries again and OHSS could develop. I came down with it a week after transfer and it's unbelievably uncomfortable! My official test day is tomorrow (we found out early) so we have to call the clinic on Monday to confirm and book first scan.

@womaninkent don't worry, all will be fine. It's totally natural to feel that way! x

Tora4 · 16/02/2019 17:53

Hello, got my BFP this morning, it’s my first child, I’m 35, we are both slightly shocked as we had only been trying for 2 months and honestly didn’t think it would happen this soon. If the apps are right I’m due about 22/10.

coconutlatte44 · 16/02/2019 17:56

Congrats to all the new bfp!
@Positivity86 we are EDD buddies, my estimated date is Oct 23rd as well 😊

coconutlatte44 · 16/02/2019 18:03

Oh, and @laurenbussey too!

This will be my first if all goes well!

WhiteVixen · 16/02/2019 18:06

The bloat today has been driving me mad. When I’ve been at home I’ve been going round with my jeans unbuttoned 😂 luckily my chunky arse has been keeping them up. I’m hoping it’s not too bad when I’m back at work next week. I’m not planning on telling them just yet.

sal1987 · 16/02/2019 18:23

And me @coconutlatte44!! Potential busy day at the hospital 😂😂😂.

What a lovely little club we have @sal1987!
How are you all doing today?

Positivity86 · 16/02/2019 20:15

@coconutlatte44 and @sal1987 ah how lovely 😊 My first too! Congrats to everyone on their BFP.

faelavie · 16/02/2019 21:22

The nausea started today. No vomiting YET. Feeling a bit betrayed by my mother who didn't get any morning sickness at all with her pregnancies and neither did my grandmother 😂

Jodie6 · 16/02/2019 22:37

Hi everyone,

Am now 5 weeks 6 days and due on 13 October so added to the list.

Would be good to speak to someone who's on the first baby as I don't really know what to expect. I'm completely unprepared as I thought it would take longer.

Hi @Jodie6 what do you want to know?

First of all, don’t panic! Contact your GP surgery. They’ll advise on what you need to do to book in with the midwife. You’ll have plenty of check ups and appointments over the next few months.

You don’t really need to do anything else yet. Plenty of time to buy any things you need to buy.

Do you have any specific questions?

flowersaremyfave · 16/02/2019 23:13

Hi everyone, hope you don't mind me joining?

Found out today were having baby no6, wasn't exactly planned but we're happy nonetheless.

I'm 34
6+3
EDD 9th oct

Going through that early bloated feeling 😬 I've been walking around all day with the top button of my jeans undone.

Other early symptoms are headache when I wake up, food cravings and sore boobs. Really hoping I don't get morning sickness this time round 🤞🏼 (I've jinxed myself right there haven't I?!)

Hope your all doing ok?

P.s how do I add myself to the list? 🤔

@Jodie6 I'm also pregnant with my first, also unprepared and also thought it would take much longer! Happy to chat about various worries. It's on my mind every minute of the day!

pattyhoo · 16/02/2019 23:19

I'm 5 weeks today and this evening I have had cramps and now have brown discharge. Very worried about what is going on Sad

Tarobun · 17/02/2019 00:08

Secretlifeofme · 17/02/2019 04:27

Sorry to hear that @pattyhoo :( can you contact your GP or gynaecologist for advice? It can be completely normal in the first trimester.

Tora4 · 17/02/2019 05:03

@Jodie6, hi, this is my first too, completely shocked as we thought it would take a lot longer.

I'm a bit unsure as well, I kinda want to tell my best friend as she knew we were trying but also worried to tell her at this point.

How do I add myself to the list?

Also I keep getting really cold for no reason at random point of the day? Is this anything to worry about?
