@Iloveoreos oh no! So sorry to hear this, are you going ahead with the blood tests? I’m praying you are not experiencing a loss. Sending lots of love to you ❤️ X

@Iloveoreos I’m so sorry to hear this. Still have the blood tests just in case, i have had a friend who bled throughout her pregnancy, and she went full term with a happy healthy baby. Fingers crossed it is positive news for you too. I found the TTC after MC thread on here so so supportive if it is not positive news xxx

AnneZ31 · 26/10/2020 20:21

@Iloveoreos I’m so sorry :( And hope you are okay. Sending positive thoughts and hugs 💞

@Dublindolly thanks for arranging! I will dial in

Iloveoreos · 26/10/2020 20:34

Thanku ladies
Im going for blood tests tomorrow just in case although i dont think it will show viable anymore.

@Iloveoreos

I’m so sorry Flowers
Definitively go for the test I’ve heard stories of substantial early bleeding in which the pregnancy continued. I bled with my son enough to land me In A&E at 6 weeks with suspected ectopic. He’s now a healthy baby.

It’s always safer to expect the worse though, then anything else is a plus x

Pumpertrumper · 27/10/2020 06:09

*definitely

AnneZ31 · 27/10/2020 06:49

Lack of symptoms is really freaking me out now. I’m not tired or hungry! And boobs are barely even sore. Baring in mind I had all these symptoms quite heavily for the past two weeks.
Do you reckon this is normal for weeks 4/5 seeing as a few of us have noticed the drop off?

brownie100 · 27/10/2020 07:03

I'm the same @AnneZ31 last week I had cramping and feeling sick along with sore boobs. This week, nothing! I'll be 6 weeks on Saturday. I'm booked in for HCG bloods today so hopefully they can at least confirm I'm pregnant! 😊

AnneZ31 · 27/10/2020 07:11

@brownie100 I’m one day behind you :)

It’s so odd and nerve wracking isn’t it. I feel a million dollars 😣 haha

Flowerbudd · 27/10/2020 07:32

@AnneZ31 Im the same, Im 4+5 today and feeling fine really.
Little hungrier still, tired but no more than usual. I really don't feel pregnant yet. I need to remember that its still so early and some people have no symptoms and its nothing to worry about.

I done another test 🙈 test line took all the dye but i know this doesn't mean anything but it was helpful to see and reminds me that I am pregnant.

@brownie100 hope the bloods go ok :) is that a routine check or did you request these? Mine aren't until Im just over 8 weeks which feels like a lifetime away

brownie100 · 27/10/2020 08:35

@Flowerbudd I did another test yesterday too. I'm not sure why, it just makes you feel reassured I guess.
I was under a fertility clinic and on clomid medication, so my consultant asked for bloods to confirm, not that I'm complaining. ☺️
I just want 12 weeks to hurry up!!

Flowerbudd · 27/10/2020 08:40

@brownie100 Aw, its so reassuring isn't it? I think if it makes you feel a little more reassured then why not Smile
Ahh I see, thats nice you have the bloods to confirm. Ooh these 12 weeks will go so slow! Will have to busy ourselves with Christmas shopping lol

Bellabubble · 27/10/2020 09:52

@AnneZ31 @brownie100 @Flowerbudd I’m the same - 7 weeks today and everything seems really mild. Boobs barely hurt - I think I feel a bit of nausea but it’s kinda when I need to eat so could just be hunger! I wish I hadn’t moved my scan date from this Sat coming to the next one now!

Dublindolly · 27/10/2020 10:02

@Flowerbudd @brownie100 I’m so glad you voiced this too. I had a major melt down yesterday thinking there was something wrong because I had no nausea at all like previous days and less bloated. I made the mistake of googling which rightly freaked me out with worse case examples. I didn’t do another test just rang my mummy for some support who talked me off the emotional cliff!

This waiting around to actually see the baby in a scan and get some real confirmation is going to be hard. I’m trying to distract myself completely over the next few weeks. I can’t stop buying stuff on for Christmas on Etsy and BrandAlley!! Smile

Flowerbudd · 27/10/2020 10:07

@Bellabubble Ooh i also feel quite sick when I get hungry but blamed it on the hunger, the hunger is so much more intense, literally feel as if my tummy Is eating itself!
Ahh bless you, times never gone so slow lol mines still over 4 weeks away! I even booked the day off work as I know Ill need to be busy as won't be able to concentrate during the day

AnneZ31 · 27/10/2020 14:20

Well I’m glad we are all in the same boat with the lack of symptoms... it must be completely normal for the stage we are at!

Sunbird24 · 27/10/2020 14:31

I’m a bit tired and scatterbrained which is fairly normal for me! Also getting some crampy feelings and mild nausea which could just be hunger, but the main thing for me is being really thirsty all the time.

Dublindolly · 27/10/2020 14:36

@Sunbird24 actually that’s one thing I have noticed. I’m drinking loads of water. I’ve completely cut out tea and coffee so I don’t know if I’m just noticing because it’s not a cup of tea or if I’m actually having more!

Flowerbudd · 27/10/2020 15:28

@Dublindolly Im the same with cutting out tea, the thought of a tea is a bit eeeww whereas I would love a cuppa on a rainy day like this 😂
Im definitely drinking more, i feel i need it.

Thinking about it I do have subtle symptoms. I guess Im just not nauseous 24/7 but Its around this time of the day that tiredness kicks in and with each day it feels as if its getting a little stronger, i could honestly go to bed right now..

Lollipop87 · 27/10/2020 17:51

@Iloveoreos so sorry to hear about your bleeding, please let us know the outcome of your bloods. Thinking of you Flowers

Hi everyone! I’m 4+1 today, I started a thread called July 2021 and we’ve created a private Facebook group if anyone due around the end of June / early July would like to join to have the support of others at roughly the same stage as them Smile If you would, just pm me your email address and I’ll add you xx

Iloveoreos · 27/10/2020 17:58

@lollipop87
Waiting for hcg results but my thyroid came and im well out of range! I told my flipping gp 3 months ago that my levels are higher than 2.5 and she said to wait and test again in 3 months. 3 month later im well above 4! No wonder this happened.

Flowerbudd · 27/10/2020 19:54

@Lollipop87 Ah lovely, Ill probably give it a week or two and Id love to join, that will be so nice to be part of that. Just so nervous right now, so will give it a week or two 🙈

@Iloveoreos Oh bless you, make sure you get that looked into for sure, that seems unfair that the drs dismissed that, thats not ok :( Thinking of you Thanks

Lollipop87 · 27/10/2020 22:42

@Iloveoreos hope you get to the bottom of it and get everything sorted, thinking of you xx

Dublindolly · 28/10/2020 21:33

How is everyone today? Smile I had a emotional time over a casserole...stupidly put a non oven proof lid on it and it melted all over the oven and the food!! I’m blaming pregnancy brain Grin though I think it was my own stupidity!

A bit more crampy today so lying down and trying my best to keep chilled out.

reservoircats · 28/10/2020 22:51

Not many symptoms today but was so tired I had to have a nap. Also felt very sick around lunchtime.
Did a self-referral for the midwife today so hopefully that can be booked in soon and then that's something nice to look forward to!!
