Due November 2021 - anyone?

[AlackAlasAlackaday]

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?

@Nnovember

For me, this pain and this time of the cycle is weird because I've never had it. It was more of sharp stabbing pain in lower abdomen and both sides.
Also have some mucusy pink (TMI)
I'm really hoping to be pregnant x

I was 100% bloated during ovulation this month, I just generally looked swollen around the stomach/thigh area.

Has anyone else had symptoms coming and going? I’m really worried that breast tenderness is coming and going, Saturday night they were agony and today they feel back to normal pain wise and smaller again?

Tried Googling it and it says symptoms can come and go but I’m still really worried, might try and get GP to do some blood work but not sure they will.

I’m the same nov - and then I start wondering if my boobs are “tender” because I won’t stop poking them to check! 🤦‍♀️ Nausea (which is fairly mild for me anyway) also coming and going.

Haha yes I have had the same thoughts, am I just bruising them with my aggressive poking checks!! 🙈

I’ve not had much nausea yet I don’t think, I’ve felt like I’ve had a funny stomach a couple of times and not felt great after eating but no proper sick feeling so far.

How many weeks are you? I think I’m 4 weeks 4 days at least, possibly a few days further ahead but I’d prefer to go with the least amount of days so I don’t go too early for my scan 😊

4 weeks 6 days here, I think. I can’t wait to get further along and (hopefully) calm down a bit.

@AlackAlasAlackaday ahh I'm 4 weeks 6 days today as well I think. I've got a feeling time is going to drag right up until the scan!

Yeah I’m with you on that, I’m a nervous mess at the moment, I don’t think it helps that my first experience of pregnancy ended horribly, statistically we should be all good so fingers crossed.

I’ve had a bit of cramping on both sides today, nothing major but a bit uncomfortable, no bleeding so hopefully just uterus stretching.

12 weeks feels forever away right now!!!

I'm with you @Nov21 getting to 12 weeks feels like ages away! I think i'm 4 weeks and 5 days but would be good to get to the 12 weeks scan, so we can officially know. For now, I'm taking advantage of eating all my favourite foods, if this pregnancy is like my last, I won't be able to stomach my faves by week 7/8ish! Aside from that I have absolutely no symtpoms, which is probably why i'm still testing like a crazy person to "double check" i'm pregnant.

Hi all, I’m 3+6 if I go off LMP, but 4+1 if you count 5 days before my embryo transfer (2x 5 day blastocysts) as my ovulation date - puts me due 7 or 9 Nov.
I miscarried late November at about 8 weeks so can’t let myself get too excited yet.

I feel the same nervousness, never did with my first but since mc last year I hope this one sticks 🤞.

Tempted to get an early scan, but I know it wont change the outcome and trying to save money lol. Will see how I feel in a week or so. Think I'm 4+6 also. Xx

What sort of dates are everyone expecting to book their scans? Because I’m under the clinic they do a viability check at around 7 weeks, which was how I found out the last one failed. I’ll still then go for the 12 week one with the EPU if it shows good news though.

@Sunbird24 that's good you get a viability scan, fingers crossed for you. X
There is a private place just up the road from me that do them from 6 weeks. If I was to get one I'd prob book fornaround 8weeks. I had a mmc at 10 weeks in November.

My first pregnancy I was soooooo chilled ha.

@Fuzzbuzz86 I have a scan with the EPU bang on 6 weeks. I wish it was a bit later because I think based on ovulation I'll be 5+6 and I really don't want the limbo of being told there's no heartbeat but it could just be too early. If I had a choice I would have one at 7 weeks. That's when I had one with my first, and it's also when I had one that confirmed my first mc. It was late enough to be certain of seeing something but early enough not to be too long to wait.

@Sunbird24 I've booked an early scan for 7+5 as my last pregnancy I had one at 5+2, 6+2 (saw a heart beat) and a follow up at 8 - I was under EPU as I had a massive bleed early on and found out at the 8 week one I was actually carrying twins but one passed fairly early and that I'd had a MMC a few days after that 6 week scan. So 7 weeks is the milestone I'm aiming for and then perhaps a follow up 10 week one money dependent x

I'm 5 weeks +1 today (according to LMP) and I'm feeling really fed up. I feel like crap but can't explain to anyone why. It's a long wait until 12 weeks 😩 sorry I'm just feeling extremely tired and grumpy today lol. Anyone else got any cravings yet? Mine is ice cold apple juice 🧃😋 I had the exact same one with my 1st pregnancy.
@Sunbird24 unless there's any reason to be concerned, my 1st scan will be at 12 weeks. I had early ones with my 2nd but I'm happy to just go with the flow this time...even if it takes forever!
@Nov21 my symptoms have been all over the place. I've been bloated one day then not the next. I felt really nauseous over the weekend but nothing the last couple of days. My boobs are agony some days and then not the next day. The only things that have been consistent are the tiredness, back ache and snuffly nose. 🤨

Hi all
Can anyone help with my confusion...

Today I’m 21dpo - does that mean I am 5 weeks preg? ( I’m not going from LMP as I ovulated early on day 10 of my cycle)

Confused as don’t know if you count from Day of ovulation or day after??

Hi can i join this thread I am 5weeks 2 days nausea and tiredness kicking in already and very cautious to get to first scan to check all ok

Welcome ttc , you’re in good company with those symptoms here

honey I think so, but I’m no expert. Are your periods pretty regular?

Hi ladies I'd like to join :) I got my bfp today. I'm a bit unsure about dates but going by my app, est. due date is 8th November. I had spotting for 3 days leading up to today... so I hope it sticks. This would be baby #2. Xx

Hey dove, welcome! Fingers crossed for you x

Hope everyone’s doing ok and keeping the paranoia at a minimum!

I was so convinced something was wrong yesterday as ALL my symptoms went, but today my boobs are sore again thank god!

Hoping I get some sickness soon to reassure me even more things are going well, I’m sure I’ll regret wishing for sickness once it starts!

I’m also unsure when you start counting from, I think I ovulated on the 7th Feb but I have a feeling it didn’t implant for a good few days so I don’t know when to count as day 1!

I haven’t had any symptoms at all yet, apart from randomly crying at songs on the radio! 🤦‍♀️

Thank you @AlackAlasAlackaday thanks for having me here. It's very early days, I've got a strong positive from a "6 day before your period test " but normal tests incredibly faint so I'm wondering if my period isn't even due yet and it's a bit early to be testing or it could be a chemical.

Symptoms - I've been really tired these past few days, lethargic and bloating and the odd cramp / pulling sensation which doesn't really worry me as I had this at the beginning of my last pregnancy. Boobs are beginning to feel a little sore now.

@Sunbird24 how many weeks are you? I have friends who have had no symptoms their whole pregnancy and the only thing that reminded them they were pregnant was the bump! (And lack of period of course!)

Dove I’m only 4+4, so I’m not stressing about it, I figure if some women can get all the way to going into labour without realising then symptoms don’t really signify much!

Thank you @AlackAlasAlackadayAlackAlasAlackaday for this post! It has very reassuring reading these messages. I can relate to all those feeling happy but, equally scared. I am expecting my 2nd after mmc last October at 13 weeks. Congratulations to you all! Wishing you all a healthy pregnancy! X
