4 weeks today!

[AnxiousAnnie86]

Hi ladies! New to this board just moved over from conception! Cannot quite believe it! I'm panicking as it's been a year (exactly!!) Since my miscarriage, and now I have backache and light cramps! Is that normal at four weeks can anyone put my mind at ease? X

@Blossom428 oh i am SO pleased for you go, go share the excitement 😍😍😍

@Bambi300180 thanks, congrats to you too! Im questioning everything as never even got a heartbeat with my mmc so im trying not to get my hopes up too high yet! Ive done my self-referral form today and will hear from a midwife between 7 and 9 weeks 🤷‍♀️. Just wanted to get it done. Im debating whether to book an early private scan just to put my mind at rest. Has anyone else booked one or going to?

Hi everyone!

Can I join you all?

I already know @AnxiousAnnie86 but would be lovely to try and get through these stressful times with as much support as possible!

I’m 4+4 today (going by lmp), although I know when I ovulated and that puts me at 4+1.

But finding this all so super stressful after a loss at 9 weeks in January and then 2 earlier losses in March and again in June.

I got a squinter of a line on a frer on Sunday when I was 10dpo, but could barely get the camera to pick it up, then a faint but better line at 11dpo, and I’ve basically then tested every day since 🤦🏼‍♀️ I got a not pregnant on cb digital on Tuesday 12dpo so totally went into panic overdrive, but thankfully got pregnant 1-2 yesterday morning at 14dpo.
My frer lines are strong but no dye stealers yet.

I’m proper panicking about the cb digitalis though as it seems a lot of you have already got 2-3 by this point and I clearly only just got over the threshold for 1-2 so worrying that my hcg isn’t rising enough.

I had a low down pain last night on the right side which automatically had me thinking ectopic, but nothing since.

I have pregnancy symptoms but just find it too crazy to let myself believe this could actually be it!

I plan to book an early reassurance scan for a few weeks time, after 7 as i want to see a heartbeat if possible and I know I’d only panic even more if I went too early and they couldn’t find one!

I’m too scared to phone the midwife or do anything that might jinx things so for now I’m just in my own little bubble, on knicker watch duty for the foreseeable 😂

@Moominmiss hello stranger 🤣

@AnxiousAnnie86 I've told him now 😆
Although I've told him not to get excited at all just yet as veryyyyy early days!

@Moominmiss Hi. Sorry to hear about your loss's 😔 a reassurance scan is a good idea. Try to do things to keep your mind busy over these next few weeks!

I've never been pregnant before, so I'm very new to all this. Currently not experiencing any symptoms apart from a foggy head past few days but put that down to lack of sleep. I hope it's a sticky one for us all 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

@Redfoot89 Iv not booked anything yet as frightened to jinx anything so will wait till I am 6 weeks+ and book a scan for 7.5 weeks and if all is well I will phone the midwife booking line. I don't think I could face cancelling things again like my miscarriage last October. So this way I can keep things to myself until I feel safe enough. Sounds daft I know! X

Can someone explain how the weeks work...
Because when I put LMP into google, it's come up with saying that I'm 3+5.
But the actual date would that go off the day of ovulation?

Congrats. Exact same dates as me! Tested same days also. We all need to be positive, happy and try not to worry. These first few months are just a worry x

You go from the first day of your last period. They first 2 weeks before ovulation count as the first 2 weeks of pregnancy. You normally go between 38-40 weeks to that accounts for it. Hope that makes sense x

@Bambi300180 ahhh yes okay. So I will be counted as 3+5 then going from my LMP.
Thank you.
God I feel time is going to drag untill 12 weeks. I'm defo going to get an earlier scan if I make it through 🤞🏽🤞🏽
Any tips on things to do in very early stages appreciated 😊

Rest as much as you can, don't strain yourself to do anything, avoid certain food (some fish and cheese) no hot tubs I'm afraid either! Lol but other than that just look after yourself and enjoy the fact your on your way to being a mummy x

@Bambi300180 that doesn't sound silly in the slightest. I called up my local hospital to try book an early scan because of previous mc but they said i would need to call the hospital in the next town which i don't want to do. Think i will try get a scan for 7/8 weeks aswel just to see! I had no idea the last time, went to first mw app and thought all was good then started bleeding two weeks later. The nurse was fab tho and cancelled my future appointments for me so i didnt have to.

@Blossom428 yes date of first day of last period. So for me it was the 12th of october which puts me at 4+4. Hope that helps

Thanks @Bambi300180 😊
Ahh yes @Redfoot89 so nice that a few of us have got our BFP around the same time from the conception thread x

@AnxiousAnnie86 your earlier comment in this thread about not testing anymore 😂😂😂

@Blossom428 I’m definitely trying my hardest to stay busy and distract myself....so far I’m not doing too well 😂
Good luck with your pregnancy, I’m sure you have nothing to worry about. Just relax and enjoy this exciting time!

@Bambi300180 ahh yay, same dates! I’m trying to have a positive outlook this time until I have reason not to. Fingers crossed for all of us here! Lots of sticky beans!! Xx

@Moominmiss about two weeks ago? Hahahaha what a joker!

Morning.... god worst night sleep ever. I think my mind was on overdrive 🙈 still can't believe it. I had to go look at pregnancy test again to make sure it wasn't a dream!

My head is so like heavy and dazy feeling today. Can't seem to shake it.
Took my temp this morning and it had gone back up again, so that's reassuring 😊

@Moominmiss thanks! I'm currently out on a walk. But I've already been googling a million things this morning 🙈🙈

@Blossom428 morning lovely! Stop taking temp honestly! Mine goes up and down and all over as does Rhr! X

@Blossom428 if it helps ive been using cheap preg tests everyday almost because i cant quite believe it's happening. Today is the first day i haven't 🤣

However. Exhaustion has hit super hard today, got up at 7am for a wee and ive just woken up again there 👀👀 and im still knackered 🤣

@Redfoot89 I've tested everyday apart from today too!!! I'm seven weeks on Monday 😂

@AnxiousAnnie86 im glad its not just me then 🤣 i will probably give in later. Im only 5 weeks on monday 🤣 seems like 12 weeks is a life time away right now

@Redfoot89 I know! I feel like I've known forever!!!! It's only been three weeks

Hahah you guys @AnxiousAnnie86 @Redfoot89

I've not actually tested today. My FRER's haven't turned up yet.
If everything works out, I'm sad the 12weeks is after Christmas. I may book like a 9week scan and then tell some family then. As I think that will be really cute. Have you told your parents? I just lied to my mum on the phone(felt really bad haha), but didn't want to tell her over the phone and want to wait another week or so probably.

I'm now going to have a slob day on the sofa!
Any one watching a good series atm?

@Blossom428 I've just started watching this is us on amazon prime, schitts creek is absolutely hilarious!!!!! X

@Blossom428 ill only be 10weeks at christmas so going to go for an early scan and tell my parents and siblings at christmas if everything goes well. I feel awful not telling my parents but im just not ready to share yet i dont think.

We have watched probably everything on netflix this year haha! Few good ones

The fall
Sex education
Power
Money heist

Theres loads more but i liked these the best.
