Hi all, nice to see familiar faces from the other group. I didn’t expect to feel this tired so early, I’m having to rest in the afternoon.

Gummybear17 · 04/05/2021 10:26

@Katiekattty I am ready for a nap already !! Zzzzzz

Katiekattty · 04/05/2021 11:02

Oh my goodness I felt nauseous before I was even awake properly and it disappeared.
I woke up feeling energetic and I was there thinking I don’t feel pregnant. I have no symptoms, am I still pregnant.
......brushes my teeth and immediately the taste of the toothpaste made me feel sick. 3 mins later hopped over the cat in mad dash for the toilet.

Oh @Katiekattty I am not looking forward to that! My nausea is minimal but this exhaustion is really getting to me. I was congratulating myself for getting to 4pm yesterday without needing a lie down. But today, it's only 11am and I can't even see straight! I've had a good night of sleep, but feel like I haven't slept for days. I've got flashing lights in my peripheral vision and my hands and arms feel really weak. My heart is pounding ten to the dozen, but every other part of me is on a go-slow. I don't think I could cope with vomiting as well, that would properly tip me over the edge! I really feel for you, and hope I'm not hopping over the dog any time soon!

So grateful to be in this position but it's really daunting only being at 5 weeks and feeling like this Confused

Hey ladies, sorry I was away for a few days and just got back today! 😃

Did a CB test and it's showing 2-3 weeks pregnant! Although app this means 4-5 weeks medically - so confusing! 🙃

@Catconfusion thank you and welcome lovely lady and sorry to hear of your losses! Hopefully we have healthy, sticky BFPs all round! 😘

I keep getting weird yucky feelings down below that gets me in a panic, and lots of tummy-related changes! I'm hoping this is all good though!

How's everyone else's symptoms etc doing? I'm thinking I will contact the midwife etc later this week to get registered on the system!

Catconfusion · 05/05/2021 20:21

It’s looking like bad news from me. After seeing the lines darken since Friday, I had a fainter test today. I wasn’t too worried at first as I was really nauseous last night and felt very pregnant. I however did a Frer tonight and the line is looking a bit pale for 4 weeks. I guess I just need to relax and see what the morning brings. Xx

M4v3r1ck · 05/05/2021 21:47

@Catconfusion I'm sorry to hear that! I know Hcg levels can fluctuate, so hopefully it's just that?

Katiekattty · 05/05/2021 21:51

@Catconfusion I’ve read on here somewhere that if you’re HCG levels are two high it can mess with tests. And if you dilute the wee, it works better. I think the post also said someone did an experiment with it and it’s especially bad with Frer.

Catconfusion · 06/05/2021 04:54

Thank you ladies. Unfortunately it’s bad news from me. My tests were pretty much negative today so pretty sure it’s over. I wish you all the best of luck with your pregnancies. Xx

M4v3r1ck · 06/05/2021 06:49

@Catconfusion I'm so sorry to hear that! Sending you much love! Please give yourself some extra TLC! 😘😘😘

Catconfusion · 06/05/2021 07:14

Thanks @M4v3r1ck I think I’m still in shock as symptoms were so strong. I will indulge in all things I’ve been avoiding like coffee and a nice glass of wine tonight. I’m absolutely gutted! Xx

M4v3r1ck · 06/05/2021 12:29

Can't send you enough love @Catconfusion! Definitely give yourself extra treats! Hopefully you'll be back soon with a healthy sticky BFP! 😘😘😘

Catconfusion · 06/05/2021 14:05

Thanks ladies and good luck. I’ll be back! Xx

M4v3r1ck · 09/05/2021 09:13

Morning all, how is everyone getting on? 😃 Hope you're having a lovely and relaxing Sunday!

I had a panic yesterday as I thought I was spotting, but it was next to nothing and only happened on one toilet! I really need to try and relax more! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Also, Was wondering if we should set up a new group with a more obvious name so that other pregnant 35+ ladies could join? 🤔

Gummybear17 · 09/05/2021 09:36

Sorry to hear you had a rough day yesterday @M4v3r1ck . Glad all has settled. All is ok here . I've had my 1st midwife appointment and hopefully will get a scan date soon . I just want to know everything is ok then I may start to relax a bit!

TTCat39 · 09/05/2021 10:24

Morning Daffodil

Sorry you had a shock @M4v3r1ck - I hope that's the last you see of any spotting. I am nervous every time I go to the toilet!

Well, my current status - sick as a dog. I have so far managed to keep it all in, but have had some close calls at the supermarket and also when driving on the motorway. I'm quickly going to run out of foods that don't make me heave - each day the thought of eating what I ate the day before absolutely repulses me. Probably because I associate that with feeling awful!

I'm still managing to run, as I have about a two hour window when I wake up in the morning whereby I feel fine. Then it kicks in - the dizziness and fatigue is affecting my concentration and I generally just want to lie down in a dark room and wait for some confirmation that all of this is not in vain!

M4v3r1ck · 11/05/2021 10:17

@Gummybear17 was that appointment just questions over the phone? 😃 Is there a chance of an earlier scan for you? I'm thinking I will phone today to set things up!

@TTCat39 I can totally relate re: the loo! I just wish we could all relax and enjoy it! I am soooo impressed you are still running though! Wow! 👏🏻

I'm definitely getting the fatigue etc now! I'm just doing big long walks just now then plan to do swimming, yoga etc! 😃

Gummybear17 · 11/05/2021 11:11

@M4v3r1ck it was a face to face appointment and I had my booking bloods done. Not got a scan date as yet , I am hoping it will come this week . If not I'm considering paying for one !

Gummybear17 · 11/05/2021 18:06

Ladies I'm freaking out . I've just been the the toilet and I'm bleeding 🩸 not a lot but enough . Feeling sad ! X

TTCat39 · 11/05/2021 21:01

Oh @Gummybear17 ! Are you ok, has the bleeding stopped? Thanks

Gummybear17 · 12/05/2021 06:41

@TTCat39 no it's getting worse . Passing clots now so fearing this is it . I feel so empty and lost . It's my daughters birthday today , how cruel is nature !

M4v3r1ck · 12/05/2021 08:45

Oh @Gummybear17 I'm so so sorry to hear this! Are you able to speak to the EPU? Sending you so much love!

Gummybear17 · 12/05/2021 08:52

@M4v3r1ck on my way to the doctors now . I can't stop the tears x

M4v3r1ck · 12/05/2021 09:00

😔💔

Gummybear17 · 12/05/2021 12:20

Looks like i am checking out ladies . No heart beat on scan looks like it stopped growing last week😢 I am heartbroken.
