I am starting this thread a bit early. I tested yesterday at 9dpo and got a faint positive, which was much darker today. My due date would be the 29 September, but this is my second child and my first was super late, so am assuming this will really be an October baby.

Love to join! Due October 6! X

I have sent a Friend request to Lucy to be added too :)

Does anyone know how often it is safe to have scans? As this is a pregnancy after loss for me, I think a couple extra would help my anxiety, but I'm not sure if there are limits?

eastview · 28/01/2021 08:50

I was wondering the same @legohaus I had a MC and am definitely going to look into having some early scans just to put my mind to rest a little bit! I think waiting 12 weeks wouldn't be good for my mental health at all! I only found out yesterday and I dread going to the toilet already. So cruel that MC takes that away from us 🙈

Could I please join the Facebook group too? What's it called please? 🙂

gems05 · 28/01/2021 10:21

Not sure whether to join... had a faint positive this morning on both cheapy and CB test... gonna wait until Saturday morning to confirm with a CB digital
😁
If bfp, put me due about 9/10 October - OH is 4th

Right now I feel panic, excitement, need more confirmation.... 🤯 ahhh

nellly · 28/01/2021 10:23

@gems05 a faint positive is a positive! Especially on two tests Grin

eastview · 28/01/2021 10:24

gems05 · 28/01/2021 10:26

@gems05 can you get a clear blue digital maybe? I did a cheapie test yesterday and nothing on it but CB digital said pregnant 1-2 (I did 3!) now there's a definite line on cheapie. I wouldn't say those are that faint to be honest! This is my cheapie today and digital said pregnant yesterday (not even fmu) so I'd say yours would too!

Advise from people who had a MC in last pregnancy....I have only had a pregnancy end in MC so don't know what normal symptoms are 🤦🏼‍♀️ this time I seem to be freaking out that I feel the same...I got a very watery pink discharge last night and I seem to have slight cramps and back pain...can this be normal in a healthy pregnancy too?

Lnr27 · 28/01/2021 11:05

@gems05

Congratulations.
These are the two clearblue tests I took at 13dpo.
Hope this helps you feel a little more confident

@icecreamsundaesprinkles that's my due date too 💕

eastview · 28/01/2021 11:33

@Colacrisp I'm sorry to hear. I also had a MC in last pregnancy and I am terrified. I'm having some mild cramping too but I think that's normal. How many DPO are you? It could be implantation bleeding? X

gems05 · 28/01/2021 11:34

@eastview thanks for the suggestion of the digital ?
I couldn't wait cos I'd love to go get a surprise for my hubby before he gets home
Now I'm ugly crying with happiness 😂

How's everyone feeling? I tested for the last time yesterday with a clear blue digital and was so happy to see it in words 😂 definitely puts the mind at ease

I think I feel hungover?! Bit light headed, stomach a little churny and just want to eat crap. How about you @LauEli?
I was made up when I did one of the digital tests, something so different about seeing it in words, although I had been holding my wee in all day and got an error code on the first one so had to wait another 4 hours for that magical moment Grin

I'm sorry to hear you are in the same boat, I hope you are coping ok

Isn't it terrifying , Its even more confusing now, was that normal was that a sign....it's driving me crazy, what's worse is that I'm having to isolate so have all the time in the world to overthink 😂

I think I am about 18 DPO, so I don't think it would be implantation, it could be my womb expelling and further tissue...it is only 2 cycles since my miscarriage.

Congratulations to everyone on the BFPs lots of baby dust for absolutely everyone 😘

eastview · 28/01/2021 13:21

Yes definitely so scary @Colacrisp how are you today? May be work speaking to your doctor to see if they can do some blood tests to make sure HCG is rising x

LauEli · 28/01/2021 13:34

@ttcSam feel not bad generally, did a night shift last night so that's taken it out of me really.

I'm anxious to start feeling more, once sickness kicks in, or heart burn just something to make it all seem more real. Sounds mad I know, but as I've got older and certainly after number 1 my mind is filled with what ifs and its horrible. It's something I will definitely be discussing with midwife 😟

Busybee93 · 28/01/2021 13:45

Hi all, can I join? Got my BFP a few days ago, this was our first cycle trying and I wasn't expecting it so quickly!

Due 7/10
Baby #2
Age: 33

I feel much worse this time. In my last pregnancy I felt fine til 6 weeks and then just tired and dizzy. I know I was really lucky to have no sickness or anything. Now I've felt hungover for almost a week, nausea and constant headache, am worried I'm going to feel much worse as the hormones increase.

LauEli · 28/01/2021 18:14

@Busybee93 @Hopefulbride18 @littledinokitty congratulations 😊 if you'd like to be in the secret Facebook group add Lucy Roxanne as a friend and she will add you in 😊
