July 2021

[Lollipop87]

Hi everyone!

There doesn’t seem to be a thread yet for July 2021, probably because most of you haven’t got your BFP yet! I got mine yesterday at 9DPO which was super early but had a pretty clear line on a FRER with afternoon urine, so confirmed with a digital. My due date is 4th July 2021 and I can’t wait for more of you to join me!! Feeling excited but a bit overwhelmed / not everything has sunk in yet. Also it’s still super early so I’m crossing my fingers (and legs!) that this little one sticks. It’s my first baby so I have no experience of any of this!

Hopefully see more of you in the next few days!!

Xx

Does anyone still have cramps as if AF is about to come? I'm 4+3 and just feel like every time I wipe I'm going to be bleeding. Cramps for a while everyday sometimes with a sharp pain

@Hopefulmummie exactly how I feel lovely. I'm 4+2 and have cramped all week. And with very concentrate pains to my right side (normal for me/af) I'm a wreck with worry xxx

@3scompany it's so annoying and hard not to worry :( I started bleeding at 4+5 with my ectopic so I'm scared of it happening again. Think if I get past that this time without bleeding I'll worry les

So sorry for your loss/ectopic. ❤️

I have a scan booked at 6+3 on 22/11. I think I'll just be a mess til then. I'm finding the worry hard to manage if I'm honest. Xx

@Hopefulmummie @3scompany I had cramps everyday between 4-5 weeks now 5 +6 and they've stopped apart from the odd one! Honestly felt just like af was coming was so sure I was going to miscarry again.. x

@Hopefulmummie I’m 4+3 and have felt exactly the same. I have felt the cramps haven’t been as bad today though. I think it’s quite normal from what I’ve read it’s your womb stretching...

I've never used Mumsnet before - this is a whole new experience but can I join this thread? 🤭

@3scompany I'm going to book a scan around 7 weeks there's no way I could wait to after Xmas for 12 weeks

@anxiousannie86 @Webbalina it's reassuring that people have them too. Mines haven't been overly bad just feels like when AF is about it come. Hopefully it is just growing pains

I am utterly terrified this time round. My youngest has just turned 11 months 😬.

I did post before but perhaps my post got a bit lost? So I'll try again. I've not long completed my first cycle of IVF and I'm astounded that it worked! Especially as I've just turned 40 so getting on a bit in terms of having babies!

If someone could let me know about the Facebook group too that'd be great.

@cakecakecheese hello, welcome and congratulations 💜 xxx

@Hopefulmummie I am 4+6 and have mild cramps low down everyday. I hate having them as I freak out. It kind of feels like a mild stitch at some point.

I've been cramping as well since Monday.
Sorry to hear about your ectopic.

Congratulations @JZBLD and @cakecakecheese

Yeh definitely pregnancy can be bad for teeth, that's why we get free dental treatment when we're preg..... although no idea how that's working with Covid

Well done for getting it all checked out so quickly @Boymama89 I hope you get the all clear ASAP

Can I join the Facebook group too please?
I'm still in my Facebook group from my February 2016 mumsnet group :)

@PeanutButterFalcon I think I'm about 5 weeks..... I had the weirdest of cycles with delayed ovulation so I think we conceived around October 15th...... Will have to wait for a scan.

I'm so hoping for another girl! I really want my daughter to have a sister! Anyone else with gender preference?

Welcome @JZBLD and @cakecakecheese !! First time doing IVF!!! That must feel like a lottery win!!

@inahaze

Welcome *@JZBLD and @cakecakecheese* !! First time doing IVF!!! That must feel like a lottery win!!

Thank you, it really does! Especially as we only got one round on the NHS. I'd already started putting money aside for a private attempt!

Thanks for the congratulations! Sorry, I haven't figured out the tags yet - they don't seem to be working for me! 🤦🏼‍♀️ Please could I get in on the Facebook page too (although I haven't told husband yet so should probably tell him first 🤣 - bit nervous for his reaction 😬)

Hello! Can I join the FB group too! Got my BFP on fireworks night and confirmed with a digi yesterday morning and only just sinking in! 😂 so exciting! X

Hey all, congratulations on your BFP’s. I’ve messaged the creator of the Facebook group to get you ladies added. Xx

Can I get added too please

Hi all.

Would love to join this group. Just tested positive at about 10 DPO and due date should be around 18th of July.

This will be my hopefully second successful pregnancy if it sticks, but so far looking promising.

Fingers crossed 😁

I'm 6+5 and I'm the same with cramping it's been just over 2 weeks of them! Lower stomach & lower back. I had my booking appointment with my midwife on Friday (over the phone) and she assured me it's normal and everything is stretching! Hope this helps xx

Hi all firstly congratulations to you all. I don’t know if anyone has experienced the same but I have very irregular periods sometimes 2-3 months apart. On Wednesday I got my first bfp done the cb came back 2-3. Last period was on 3rd September so thought was around 8weeks by those dates. Had a private scan on Thursday and they told us that they believe I am in the very early stages of pregnancy they could see a 3mm cystic area in the endometrium which may represent a gestational sac but no yolk sac or feral pole seen and advised to come back in two weeks for another scan. Have since spoke to epu and my midwife who both said it can happen I have done a test each day and all day positive done 6 in total two of them being cb done the second one today which came up 3+ So hoping these are good signs. I have had tender breasts for a few weeks now and I did note that on the 7th October I had all the symptoms of starting a period but it didn’t come. I have had two previous children 9 +13 now and they were spot on with my dates so hoping someone has had a similar experience and if everything was all well.

@T2416 morning I have irregular periods, last one being 12th September so midwives put me at over 8, but I know for certain I ovulated on 12th September so am only 5+6 the midwives won't change that till 12 werk dating scan. Xx
