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?

Hello - can I join? Got a couple of bfp 3 days ago and looks like I am 4 weeks and 3 days pregnant. This is my first pregnancy so nervous as hell. Looks like my due date is 10th November.

I have extremely sore boobs, I am shattered all of the time and cannot stop eating, I have insomnia and my bladder is out of control.

Xx

Can I join please? I got my BFP at 18dpo on Feb 28th, think I'm due November 5th! A fireworks baby! SO ANXIOUS about things not progressing well but I feel SO SICK so that must be a good sign!

Didn't get a 3+ on a digi until Thursday at 5w+3 (or +2) if I go from ovulation so maybe a little bit behind but hopefully okay!

Can't believe this is happening after over a year of trying

Hello miss, welcome! Good checklist of symptoms there, you’re in good company .

Welcome squid. Gosh, how lovely after a year of trying! And yes, symptoms are both reassuring and maddening aren’t they?

Thank you! I’m so excited to be here. Waiting to hear from mw about a meeting and scan etc. Might pay for a private one when I’m a bit further. I’m so nervous about it not sticking. And excited for the future. It’s quite overwhelming! xx

Hi everyone,
I don't want to start a debate on whether you should or shouldn't have it, we'll all have our own opinions which is great, but I was just wondering if anyone knows if we'll be offered COVID vaccines in our usual age bracket? Or if they don't give it you when you're pregnant. I can't find anything on google.

Thank you

They’ve said there isn’t enough evidence that it’s safe in pregnant women. So no we won’t be offered.

@MissDaniB

They’ve said there isn’t enough evidence that it’s safe in pregnant women. So no we won’t be offered.

Thought that might be case, thank you.

How is everyone feeling? I am about 4+5 and don't really have many symptoms apart from the odd pulling / cramp feeling. My boobs are a teeny bit sensitive but nothing uncomfortable. Should I be worried?! I think my morning sickness started last time when I was 5/6 weeks.

@dovegreylove Definitely don't worry, the symptoms thing seems to be an inexact science of wild variation!

My boobs hurt sometimes and sometimes not and often I feel sick, and I have terrible insomnia, but I'm not bloated and not weeing more often which worries me. So many things to worry about!

I put this in a different thread but feeling so confused and scared about it... I had an HCG test on Thursday which came back at 1033 - very low for my dates (5w+1 at the time) although nurse didn't seem concerned.

BUT less than 24 hours later I got a 3+ on a CB digi - according to the website the minimum HCG threshold for a 3+ is 2753!! Did my HCG shoot up?! So confusing!

Hi @DoveGreylove. I am 4+6 and I don't really have any symptoms either apart from my boobs feeling huge! But, I didn't really have any symptoms the first time apart from swelling. The only thing that is worrying me a little is that I've had brown spotting from time to time

squid could the first HCG results have been wrong? Otherwise I guess the obvious thing is a further test for them. Really frustrating.

@squidlady It must have shot up for it to have come up as 3+ which is good news! Just wondering how come you had your HCG levels checked? I have no idea what mine are but yesterday I finally got a strong positive on a cheapie test so I took that as a good sign.

@Maya000 I had spotting in my last pregnancy, I think it's quite common. I had either spotting or implantation bleeding last week. I thought it was the start of my period but it never came!

@AlackAlasAlackaday I do keep thinking maybe they were wrong, can't think of another explanation! It's through Babylon GP who are a bit haphazard and mad, I.e. they did the blood test without ever asking how far along I am. I guess I'll just get them repeated?? So frustrating.

@DoveGreylove I had them done because I was having a meltdown that digis were still saying 2-3 at 5w (I have really bad anxiety!) - then I got the 3+ the day after the blood test and chilled out, until the results came through that afternoon!

@DoveGreylove thanks for the reassuring message! hope you are getting on okay!

Hi all, could I tentatively join?
I am 4+1 however have had some brown spotting today so trying not to get excited

Congrats all on your BFPs 🎉 x

Hello everyone - hoping I'm not tempting fate by joining! I think I'm 5+3 - did two tests last weekend and came back positive. We've been trying for our first baby for nearly 18 months and had been referred to a fertility clinic and then this happened! 😀
Only symptoms so far are sore boobs and crying at everything. When do other things kick in? (Silly question but just very nervous about everything!)

@Hannahb26 Welcome and huge congratulations! That's amazing and a v.similar thing happened with us - I had a baseline scan at an IVF clinic and found out I was pregnant three days later When I called them up to cancel my follow-up they said it was really common!!

@Hannahb26 & @squidlady that’s what happened to my best friend too!

I’m at the crying at everything stage as well, and randomly nodding off.

Congratulations to everyone joining...

@squidlady @AlackAlasAlackaday @DoveGreylove @Maya000 I really wouldn’t worry about lack of Symptoms - I didn’t have a single symptom in the first trimester with my first baby. Even with my 2nd and 3rd the symptoms were really mild, just slight nausea and boobs sensitive to the cold (I couldn’t walk down the chiller isle in the supermarket!) I have 3 healthy boys 😊

I also only got 2-3 weeks on digi when I was 5weeks. I tested again at 5+3 and got the 3 plus. Everyone’s hcg levels are different.

It’s so hard not to worry about everything though isn’t it? I think it’s worse now than back a generation ago as we have so many home tests we can buy and google to worry is! Lol

Hi ladies , can I join please . I got my bfp today, I think I've known about a week tho . I'm 5 weeks tomorrow. And due November 7th . Xxx

I’ve been having period type cramps but a little more on the right hand side. It’s not bad anywhere and comes and goes - but a little worried it’s more on one side (although do get both sides and my back). Could this be stretching or should I worry about ectopic? x

Anyone else getting really hungry after meals? Even after eating huge carby meals. I've tried drinking water to fill my tummy but its definitely hunger.

@Jaym78 you’re the same dates as me! 😁
