Anyone else with veeery early November positives who wants to hop on a thread and keep one another company?

I’ll start - I’m a MN regular posting under a new name. Took a test this morning and got a BFP! I already have DD(3) and last year we sadly lost her sibling to miscarriage - so I’m expecting a nervous nine months ahead. Sorest boobs ever and odd dreams the past few days but otherwise feeling ok (I know it’s very early though!). Oh, and DD gave me a hug yesterday and announced that there was a baby in my belly 🤦‍♀️

How are others getting on?

Hi all. Tentatively stepping in. Not due period until tomorrow/Friday but had a very positive test yesterday on a FRER and a faint positive on a cheapie on Monday.

This is my second, my DS is 3. First pregnancy was a nightmare from start to finish so praying for an easier ride.

No symptoms yet so nervous about that too.

Another Nov baby here. Due on the 8th of November. Three miscarriages over the last few years so trying not to get too stressed. My symptoms are much stronger this time so I’m hoping this is a good sign.

Hello all, I'm back! I thought AF got me but I think it could have been implantation? I've never had that before and it only lasted a couple of hours. I'm only 3+5 so still on egg shells but do want to be part of this group: :) hope everyone is doing OK? Xx

HLMx · 11/03/2021 08:13

@sheslikebutter hey, congratulations. You and I are just a few days apart. Have you got a midwife appointment?? x

Maya000 · 11/03/2021 08:21

Glad to see you back! @sheslikebutterSmile

I just feel exhausted all the time and my lo is super active I'm struggling to keep up lol

AlackAlasAlackaday · 11/03/2021 09:01

Ahhh 😭
I’ve started bleeding there before lunch - light but red! Contacted early clinic.. waiting on call but certain it’s probably Mc starting. I haven’t told anyone about getting a positive result so feeling extremely lonely!!

AlackAlasAlackaday · 11/03/2021 12:44

Gah, eog, sending love. Talk on here if you want to x

@Eoglove I am so sorry! I had brown blood yesterday, today is red (17DPO). They told me the colour is not the issue (even though people think brown is ok and red is bad) if it is only when you wipe, that still can be ok. Do you have pain?
Unfortunately, mine is stronger, more like an AF at this point...

Maya000 · 11/03/2021 13:33

Hi @Eoglove is there any chance your epu can offer you an early scan? I had the same bright red bleeding for 2-3 days at 7 weeks but, they said its breakthrough bleeding and quite common. I also had an early scan to find the source of bleeding. It didn't happen again for the remainder of the pregnancy. Wishing you all the best. Hope you're okay xx

Eoglove · 11/03/2021 14:37

Still waiting for a call back from EPU - but could be tomorrow morning! I’ve no cramping as of yet - but just feel a little strange (heavy).. if that’s even a thing!

Sunbird24 · 11/03/2021 15:36

Fingers crossed for those with bleeding that it’s just a little niggle.
I’ve just booked my viability scan with the clinic for 29 Mar, which will be 8+1...

HLMx · 11/03/2021 15:45

@Sunbird24 Viability scan?? Does everyone get one of these?? I don't have an appointment until 21st April when I'll be 10 weeks. I haven't even been called into the docs or anything to confirm. This is my first, I don't know what I'm doing x

Sunbird24 · 11/03/2021 16:24

@HLMx no it’s an IVF thing, that was how I found out I’d had a missed miscarriage last time. Don’t worry, we’re all kind of making it up as we go along!

Kayeyeem · 11/03/2021 16:32

@Eoglove oh no, I'm so sorry! I know it's hard but try not to panic until you know for sure. @Tina8800 bless you 😔 I'm sorry will the epu see you?
@HLMx this is my 3rd and I still don't really know what I'm doing 🙈 don't worry

I self referred is the website my pregnancy notes today, the midwives will contact me in a couple of weeks, apparently they won't see me until I'm about 8 weeks. I'm 6+2 today, it feels like such a long time to wait and I'm impatient 😂

Eoglove · 11/03/2021 16:38

@Tina8800 it’s so disheartening! Sending you big hugs!

EPU just off the phone. They have prescribed something to take if I don’t miscarry today/tonight to see if it helps the pregnancy. I obviously want to give it every chance but scared it is going to prolong the inevitable. I’m not even sure what they prescribed as my head is all over the place!

Nov21 · 11/03/2021 19:05

Hope all that have had bleeding are ok and it’s just a bit of implantation bleeding and nothing to worry about. Fingers crossed for you!

I’m worried about not eating healthily... anyone else literally not eaten anything healthy in weeks?

Today I’ve eaten ginger biscuits, 2 cereal bars, a lot of crisps and tinned ravioli!! The thought of anything green or nutritious makes me feel icky. Like I can’t see myself being sick at this point but I have the ick about things a lot and properly gone off things and have cravings for other things.

Also my round ligament pain seems to have stopped now (now pains when I sneeze) and I’m worried. Boobs also less sore.

The paranoia!! :O

Sunbird24 · 11/03/2021 19:13

I’m not doing so well on the fresh fruit & veg either @Nov21. Stem ginger cookies are my snack of choice at work.

1997Babyx · 11/03/2021 19:34

Hey guys!
Just wondered if it is possible to get implantation discharge after you have had a positive test result!?
I have had the tiniest bit of discharge that is stretchy but a little pale red with some dark brown too - sorry if TMI!! Haha

Hope everyone is well :)

Maya000 · 11/03/2021 19:57

I didn't have it last time but, I did have brown spotting 3-4 day after by bfp this time round. @1997Babyx

@Nov21 I try to make myself a healthy packed lunch for work but, I end up binging on all carbs instead. I can't get myself to eat any fresh fruit or veg either

Nov21 · 11/03/2021 20:01

So glad it’s not just me eating all the carbs!

I want to eat healthy so the baby gets everything it needs but I can’t face it! Hoping pregnacare plus tablets are giving baby what it needs, fingers crossed.

Kayeyeem · 11/03/2021 20:12

@Nov21 in the first pregnancy I lived on peanut butter on toast and apple juice, with my 2nd I pretty much lived on cans of coke and chocolate 🙈 this time round I'm doing better with the occasional apple or some veg but I'm pretty much all about the carbs this time. It's not easy to eat healthy when you feel sick, tired and just generally crap

MissDaniB · 11/03/2021 20:16

I'm a hundred percent the same. The thought of eating anything that isn't beige makes me want to be sick!

AlackAlasAlackaday · 11/03/2021 20:18

Terrible diet here. My one saving grace among the beige is that I’m massively craving iced water so I’m eating terribly but very well hydrated Confused.

I’m sitting in bed with a decaf coffee and a big bag of butterkist. 🤷🏻‍♀️
