Due November 2019 Continued

This is a continuation of the previous thread since we are coming up to the 1000 post limit.

@cakeordeath89 can you call your EPU and explain you’re worried due to the cramps? You can often find the number via google x

@Mintypea5 The scan is with a private company so I'm not really sure how it works. I'll just cancel it if the worst is to happen before then.
You know when you just have a feeling? I think as long as I don't have any bleeding I'm just going to get on with it. The cramps have stopped now so fingers crossed...

@Ruthsoph try not to worry (easier said than done!) it’s quite normal for symptoms to come and go. Hope the scan goes well tomorrow

@cakeordeath89 call the local epu. They may well do an early scan for you to check everything and it won't cost you a penny (you could cancel the private one if that's the case). I had some spotting at 5+6 and they scanned me to check everything was OK and to check for things like ectopic etc. A phone call to them won't hurt, especially if the cramps at night were worse than normal - they'll be best to advise you. Ours only takes calls before noon so have a Google where yours is and give them a quick bell.

@Miller2 I've done a bit of a google on it and in my area, the hospital will only let you go if you see the GP/Midwife first. You can only self-refer if you've had history of miscarriages or have been in the EPU system before. I guess it's just a waiting game. Not like they'd be able to do anything anyway this early on. Thanks for your advice x

Hi there - just fried old thread and saw that it had moved here. I'm 36 and have a DS - 2yo - and had a BFP at the weekend after nearly a year of trying after endometriosis surgery - so excited! Is the chat continuing on here or moving on to FB?

Just did a test and thankfully it still says i am pregnant - did a digital one and it states 3+ which means 5+ weeks - i was just so worried esp after yesterday when someone said they had a scan and it was just the sac so that has hightened my anxiety - hopefully everything will be fine tomorrow x

Morning ladies, hope everyone is well. Today I'm 7+2 , my boobs are nowhere near as sore! I'm starting to really sorry, I have a scan tomorrow but I'm really panicking! Has anyone else experienced this? X

@Ruthsoph same here, I don't feel that bad at all today! I'm going to do another test in a few hours, ohh it's so nerve wracking x

@cakeordeath89 I couldn't just self refer either. I phoned them up gave them my details and they triage you over the phone (it was a midwife). She then booked me in.

Waitingformyrainbow i am also 7+2 and no sore boobs or anything - was so worries just did a test and all is well
I also have a scan tomorrow so need to try and not stress until then

How are you all doing with symptoms? At 4+3 I expect it’s too early for symptoms, but I’ve felt really nauseous all morning 🤢

Aside from that I get little needle like pangs every now and then, bloated, slight heartburn. Boobs finally feeling fuller and a little sore. I’ve always been flat chested so bring on the bazungas! 😂

Probably all in my head anyway haha!!

@MindyMoonstone I'm only 4+6 and I've been nauseus since 13dpo so I wouldn't say it's too early for anything. My boobs are also sore beyond belief

@cakeordeath89, I know exactly how you feel. I am having some symptoms but feel constantly worried that all is not ok with baby. I've booked an early scan for 30th March (by which point I'll be 6+3). Not sure if it's the right thing to do or not but desperate to take away some of my anxiety. I feel like I can't concentrate at work and it's really hard not being able to talk to my work colleagues about it (as normally we natter about everything). You're not on your own!

@MindyMoonstoone is the needle like pangs in your stomach? I've been having those all morning. Doesn't half make me feel panicked.

Just had my 7 weeks scan. All looking perfect. Can't believe it 😁😁😁😁😁

@Cbeebies89 I'm glad I'm not alone. I feel like it's such highs and lows at the moment and it's hard not to focus on the the lows and the negative symptoms. Yesterday, I felt in such a good mood, I felt positive but then when I had the cramps towards the end of the day and in the night, even re-doing the test in the morning to show that I'd gone upto 2-3 weeks hasn't helped to lift my mood. I really want to have a good cry but I can't do that until I finish work :(
It feels awful to say but I'm just not sure how I'm going to cope throughout an entire pregnancy, when I feel stressed even at this really early stage.

PrayingandHoping thats fantastic, what a refief - are you exactly 7 weeks? did you see a heartbeat? got mine tomorrow and i will be 7+3 so wondering what to expect x

@PrayingandHoping That's great news! How was it?

@PrayingandHoping awwwwww lovely! Glad the scan was all good.

I need to call the epu for my one next week. I’m starting to feel anxious about it 🤦🏻‍♀️

@Ruthsoph I've just done another frer, was a strong positive but it's so so hard not to worry! What time is your scan? Mine isn't until 2.45 🤦🏻‍♀️

@PrayingandHoping oh that's wonderful!! Did they do the scan abdominally? I'm having mine tomorrow at 7+3, praying it's not internal

@cakeordeath89 totally fine 😁

@Ruthsoph it is such a clear image I was surprised. Really strong heartbeat. I'm exactly 7 weeks today (ivf baby so no doubting lol)

Yes it was internal. I've had sooooo many of them now they don't bother me one bit. Not remotely uncomfortable (and I find smears etc horrid for comparison)

@Waitingformyrainbow yes it was internal. I've had so many of them as it's an ivf baby. Honestly they are completely fine, nothing to worry about at all. X

@PrayingandHoping thank you so much, huge congratulations to you xx
