Due December 2021! Thread 2

Continue the BFP's!!

@Hxoxox I’ve got no symptoms either - I didn’t with my son at all either. Symptoms mean nothing x

Thanks ladies! I know I've said about symptoms before but I had sore boobs and bright blue veins before and they have gone. I also was sweating a lot more too. I feel like I could cry at the drop of a hat but that's it. Nothing new there though .

I was using opk's and never got a spike at all so I can't figure out when I conceived. It's all so confusing! Just need to have patience now lol!

I have serious breast tenderness which doesn't seem to be easing at all and I have sniffles in the morning but thankfully no sickness so far!!

Hi all, I'm in a bit of a state - TTC for over 2 years and had 1 pregnancy in that time which ended in a MMC at 8 weeks. Had our fertility investigations over last three months and what came out of it was that my fiance's sperm count was VERY low.
Got a BFN on day 28 of my last cycle and period arrived the next day. Very normal period, lasted 4 days. Did OPK on day 8 and got peak fertility which I though was weird and when it was still there on CD10 I did a cheap Amazon preg test which was positive, then a really strong positive on a FR and pregnant 2-3 weeks on clearblue. I'm just so confused because I had a normal period and I just can't believe that that was implantation bleeding. I don't have any pregnancy symptoms (using my last period before this one I'd be at 5 weeks, and my last OPKs last cycle fit with the clear blue 2-3 weeks). I desperately want to be pregnant but I don't feel like I am. At all. I just can't help but think this is a chemical pregnancy and I don't really know what to do

@DarceyCat I did the same when fell for my DD. Normal period and then started to get sick just after and got strong positive and 2-3 weeks on clear blue. Midwife didn’t believe me, went for an early scan and they agreed and was moved forward by 2 weeks.
It all works out in the end so don’t worry.

@Cuddles21 I was going to carry on taking seven seas trying for a baby while pregnant as they were on offer when ttc so I bought loads and now am pregnant and left with 2.5 packs. But the vitamin d was 5ug and they say to take 10mg so I wasn't sure. I just got tesco pregnancy support tablets which have the 10ug vitamin d but I don't like to leave the seven seas ones to go to waste. Maybe I'll take those on sunny days when I'll be getting vitamin d from sun. Last pregnancy I used to take pregnacare with omega 3 tablets but they used to give me disgusting fishy burps that made me feel sick so not going to bother with them.this time 😂

Tiredness/nausea/sore boobs have really stepped up s level today at 6,weeks 1 day 🤢

Haven’t posted here for a week or two. So many new names!

Hope everyone’s doing well.

I’m 8 weeks on Tuesday and it’s flying in. I have a scan that day too, which is nice. I also got my booking appointment through and a date for my 12 week scan.

Morning (afternoon, evening) sickness is still going strong, as is the fatigue. Usually I jump out of bed in the morning to take the dog out, but this morning I was absolutely burst. 😂

@Minster2012 Thank you! Fingers crossed. I’m nervously excited today.

@Cumspe I had the same on Friday, a bit of bright red spotting. The GP referred me to the EPU and said they’d scan me - the EPU themselves said to come in and they’d scan me, and then when I got there; they said they didn’t do scans before 8 weeks as it doesn’t tend to be too reassuring, so they did bloods and an examination and sent me on my way. They did say that if the spotting had stopped, they probably wouldn’t find what it came from, and that if it hadn’t got heavier within 24 hours that was a good sign. They’ve put mine down to likely being cervical ectropion.

Best of luck to you, I hope it’s nothing serious x

Hello to everyone else! I can’t wait to only have one date to keep track of... I’m 5+5 from ovulation today, or 6+5 from LMP, which is what the NHS are using until the dating scan at 12 weeks.

I feel fine - not very hungry and sometimes slightly queasy, but that’s it really. I can pee for England, and my sense of smell seems insane. No sore boobs for me yet... I don’t tend to get them with PMS either so I’m hoping that explains the gap! Tiredness seems to be okay, and no sickness...

I’m so anxious for the scan tomorrow!

@DarceyCat this happened to me my pregnancy before this one. I had a negative test, period started that day then 9 days later I got a positive. It ended in miscarriage but that wasn't necessarily related to the bleeding. Could you call your epu and see what they say? Hopefully theyd get you in for a scan to rule out ectopic etc.

@DarceyCat I have a close friend who had normal periods all through her first pregnancy, and until she was four months with the second.

I spent Friday in the EPU from spotting... other than checking my cervix was closed, they said there was not much else that I could do, and they only saw me because I was over 5+3. They won’t scan until 8 weeks. But they were very reassuring that bleeding isn’t always bad, and it’s very common, and to stay optimistic... it’s hard, but I’m doing my best.

I’ve got my fingers crossed for you x

@DarceyCat you can have small haematomas that bleed so could have been that, if you've got a 2/3 that's very encouraging. I'm also very worried due to a similar past & im trying to take each day as it comes, I only got a symptom of sore boobs literally 2 days ago and that would be about 5 weeks, try to stay positive xx

@TakeYourFinalPosition thanks I will speak to my GP and expect to have to wait another week before a scan. I am a little less concerned as it’s stopped but waiting a whole week to get to 8 weeks is going to drag. Good luck with your scan tomorrow. x

@DarceyCat I wouldn’t worry too much about symptoms I have very few and they didn’t kick in for a while and most are so subtle that I could mistake them for something else. Apart from belching like it’s a new hobby but that took some time to make the connection ☺️

I hope everyone else is doing well

Am I free to join ladies? Just got my bfp this morning at 17dpo! EDD 31st Dec so I'm very late to the party :') 4+2 today and have still to get my head around it lol feeling nauseous and crampy

Welcome @Dreamer30 - my estimated due date is the 28th December.

I’m also quite crampy and achey which is worrying me somewhat.

Is this your first?

Xx

@TTC94 have you just found out? Congratulations! 😁 I was a bit worried but a quick google search said it's normal, so try not stress lovely.
This is my 2nd, my DD is 12 in less than a week lol so a big age gap. How about you?

@Dreamer30 I’ve known since Monday! So it’s already been what feels like a long week!

Congratulations! How exciting for you!

This will be my first. Heightened anxiety as I had a miscarriage in Feb! Trying to be calm and positive but it’s difficult! Xx

Welcome @Dreamer30 congrats, like @TTC94 I'm edd 28 Dec too x

Thank you @gizmo167 😊 ah @TTC94 sending lots of baby dust your way! [Flowers] hope it's a wee sticky bean!

Hope everyone is doing ok, I know lots of people are anxious about bleeding, cramps etc and just wanted to share that I had a fair bit of bleeding both red and brown, early on when pregnant with my last baby and all was ok. I think it can be quite common but is very stressful when it happens! I've had a bit so far this time too.

I haven't even called the midwife yet, my surgery seems to be not very keen on answering the phone and there's nothing on the website 🤦‍♀️ feel like I need to get on with it.

Really starting to feel the intense tiredness now as well. It's so overwhelming sometimes and I have 2 kids already so I'm not exactly getting any rest. What was I thinking 😭😂

@Cumspe I couldn’t handle the wait either, so I’ve got a private scan booked for tomorrow.., I’ve got 2 weeks until 8 weeks so it felt like forever 🙈

The fact that it’s stopped is a really good thing.

Best of luck to you too x

I’ve got a BFP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations @Iheartbed and welcome to the club 😁

Hi everyone, I'm 7+2 and the headaches are unbearable! I'm trying to avoid paracetamol is there anything else that can be recommended?
