Hello ladies,

Early days, due my period today and had a BFP since DPO11. It is progressing and my period hasn't arrived so I'm hoping this is a sticky baby! Anyone else recently this week got their BFP? Be nice to have a little group going x

Argh sorry @tisonlymeagain I need to read the thread more regularly!

I know how scary that is... Sounds like they looked after you and the results today were positive. Fingers crossed no more bleeding for you.

My willpower with food is useless already, I'm definitely stress eating through these early weeks even though I promised myself I wouldn't. How are others doing with eating?!

@TheWorryboutevrything lm 6 weeks and I have had a lot of cramps since week 3. I spoke to my GP who advised it's probably constipation and I have been taking lactulose and drinking prune juice. They were so bad and have improved a lot.
Sometimes I get pelvic pain and pain in the front of my right thigh which is weird but when I read about this it said this can be due to the uterus growing.

Morning!
5 weeks today and the nausea has ramped up big time! Currently on my train commute ready to run to the loo at any minute 🤢 the smell of coffee is making me want to hurl too, and I’m a coffee addict!
Glad those who had early scans all went well!
I’m booking my private one for a couple weeks time when I’ll be 7 weeks, I feel like they are going to say there’s nothing in there lol!

I was 5 weeks yesterday and I've eaten anything in sight. In my head I wanted to be really controlled with my diet & weight but the night before I got out of bed at 9:45 to make a sandwich. I'd eaten loads in the day too. Lol
My boobs had a giant swell last night but think they've gone down again now.
It's so so weird.
I told the Drs last Monday who said someone will get in touch, I guess it's only been a week but haven't heard anything yet.
Hopefully they'll ring soon as I'm in holiday in a few weeks so want to make sure I've seen someone before then ideally.

Is anyone else extremely bloated?
My jeans aren't fitting at the minute but I know it's not bump. Must be those late night sandwiches 🤣

When I was pregnant with DD I had the biggest craving for olives. I ate jar after jar. Yesterday in Sainsbury’s I was overcome again at the deli counter! Had to buy a tub to walk round. DD was sat in the trolley and shared them with me, she still loves them now haha. So that made me feel slightly hopeful this pregnancy could work out.

hazandduck · 11/06/2019 09:28

@Marleym28 I think the swelling and bloating is the hormones, they fluctuate so much in these early weeks!

tisonlymeagain · 11/06/2019 09:50

Finally heard back from self-referral to community midwives. They've said they'll be in touch re booking appointment which will be by 10 weeks and in the meantime they'll do scan referral which will be between 12 and 14 weeks.

14 weeks seems way late so I'm not going to risk that. Happy with my decision for NIPT now at 10 weeks.

InOmniaParatus13 · 11/06/2019 13:43

Got a drs appointment at 4.30 as I’ve had light spotting and cramps since 10am :( praying this wee one sticks :(

tisonlymeagain · 11/06/2019 15:07

Good luck @InOmniaParatus13 hopefully it's nothing

InOmniaParatus13 · 11/06/2019 15:30

Thank you @tisonlymeagain
Absolutely bricking it, so scared this will turn into a miscarriage :(

tisonlymeagain · 11/06/2019 15:33

I know that feeling @InOmniaParatus13 it's the scariest thing. Thinking of you x

Hopex92 · 11/06/2019 15:50

Got my early scan date.. Tuesday 25th June. Il be classed as 8 weeks then however pretty sure il actually only be 6 weeks. These next 2 weeks are going to drag! So scared!

InOmniaParatus13 · 11/06/2019 18:10

Thank you @tisonlymeagain, I’m sorry you know this feeling, it’s horrible :( x

Fingers crossed everything goes okay for you @Hopex92

Saw the dr, she was lovely. She examined me and said my cervix is closed and tubes feel normal, she has referred me to the early pregnancy unit so hopefully should get a scan tomorrow or the day after!

Newbie21 · 11/06/2019 20:43

@InOmniaParatus13 I'm glad you got reassurance from your gp but that they are going to run tests too for extra reassurance. I had spotting too which seems to have been IB (I've never had that before in any previous pregnancy so naturally I freaked out). Fingers crossed that your little bean keeps hanging on in there.

Bettythecat · 12/06/2019 07:24

Morning girls, how are you all? Can we talk boobs? Mine have been really sore but yesterday the pain kind of disappeared and today they don't hurt either. Seems quite early for them to have stopped hurting?? How are yours all doing?

Bettythecat · 12/06/2019 07:24

Ps I'm 6 weeks tomorrow

PooWillyBumBum · 12/06/2019 08:01

Bettythecat, mine hurt on and off. Yesterday a friend at work gave me a big squeeze and it was excruciating, today ok.

I'm not really feeling any symptoms, but with DD1 I don't think I got nauseous until after 10 weeks. I do feel a bit more emotional, but could just be in shock!

InOmniaParatus13 · 12/06/2019 08:28

Morning!
I was admitted to hospital last night as the pain got so much worse. Waiting for an urgent scan this morning and all ready to go down to theatre should it be an ectopic.l as suspected. Feel very disheartened, haven’t really had any symptoms so pretty sure this is going to be bad news for me.
I hope everyone else is doing well! I’ll update after my scan, but I’m not hopeful in the slightest!

ronniemipperton · 12/06/2019 08:28

Mine hurt on and off too, I keep panicking when they stop but so far it’s been coming back. Though sometimes it may be because I keep prodding them so much 😂

ronniemipperton · 12/06/2019 08:29

Oh god so sorry to hear that @InOmniaParatus13 - keeping everything crossed for you.

Bettythecat · 12/06/2019 08:58

@InOmniaParatus13 oh my god I'm so sorry. It's really the most awful thing, sending you all my love. Please keep us updated and take care of yourself.

@PooWillyBumBum (good name by the way 😂) I'm just obsessing about bloody everything as I had a mmc earlier this year and my symptoms gradually decreased before it was diagnosed 😫. Interesting to hear yours are on and off though too, thank you.

@ronniemipperton I hear you on the prodding!! I'm constantly feeling them and squeezing them just to test 🙄. When yours stop hurting how long do they stop for?

LuciBee · 12/06/2019 09:14

Hey all, 11 DPO for me today and got a faint BFP on FRER. So I'm stepping in hoping i get to stay here! AF is due on Saturday. Estimated DD of 22nd Feb 2020. I've had no symptoms, boobs are fine. perhaps a little wave of nausea every now and then but nothing really.

bessie84 · 12/06/2019 09:38

@InOmniaParatus13 - omg - i really hope your ok. sending love xx

InOmniaParatus13 · 12/06/2019 09:59

Thank you all for your kind words xx

The scan was inconclusive, they saw what the think is the sac but they can’t be 100% as of yet! Because I have irregular periods it looks like I may be a lot earlier on than expected. They can’t rule out ectopic but it could just be very early on in pregnancy hence why we can’t see anything. They are going to do bloods to check my hgc and progesterone levels, then see how my pain is at lunch time as it’s pretty much non existent at the moment. Not had any more spotting either! I’m in limbo at the moment but should know more once my levels have been confirmed, if my pain eases off I should be able to go home today!

LuciBee · 12/06/2019 10:11

@InOmniaParatus13 hope you are ok, and fingers crossed for the best possible outcome x
