Anyone just got their BFP and due in Jan 2022?

[zeromango]

Hi all!

Just got my BFP! Approximately 3 weeks and 6 days. Due date calculator has put me to give birth around 8th January. Feeling so nervous, have had two MCs and then thankfully a much loved DC. Symptoms currently are extremely sore boobs, mild cramping, and upper hip / thigh pain on my right leg! Would love to chat to others who've just found out and want somewhere to refer back to!

Hi can I join in congratulations on all your bfp I'm 4 weeks 5 days today due 10th jan2021 my symptoms are sore boobs, felt abit sticky this morning but nothing major and watery cm i had a cemical in January so feeling abit anxious

@Newbie202012 welcome! I'm sorry about the CP. Understand why your anxious but the signs looks good, nearly into week 5! x

Morning ladies
I'm still not overcome with symptoms yet (currently 5+3). Sometimes I feel a tad sick but I know I'm not going to be sick. Had sore boobs for one day only (switched bra after so maybe that helped).
Did another test this morning because I can't help myself it was a total dye stealer. Strongest dark line came up immediately and it took the control line longer to show up lol.
So I think everything is still good, but so anxious. I had a mmc around ten years ago and struggled to conceive with my partner of 7 years now. Roll on getting a scan on the 20th.

@willithappen congratulations on the ink stealer! I've been too scared to re-test. Totally irrational on my part, but have also had losses. Someone once said to me, put aside a certain amount of time a day to worry. Write fears down in that block of time and get it all out. Then when the anxious thoughts come in the rest of the day try to defer them to the scheduled time. Easier said than done but I'm like you, quite anxious, and I don't want it to dominate this hopefully successful pregnancy xx

Hey can I join in?? I’m apparently due around the 14th Jan 2022. I’m very excited, this is my first pregnancy though so although not an anxious person, I keep expecting something to happen! I’m 4+2 now and the only symptoms I have are some tiredness later on in the evenings and a gurgly tummy almost like I’ve eaten something a bit off !

I have the tiniest bit of nausea for the first sort of half hour of the day as well but expecting that to ramp up. I’ve heard by 7 weeks it kicks in??

Congrats everyone and fingers crossed for everyone too x

Morning ladies, since last night it feels like ‘nugget’ has been building a 3 storey apartment down there. I’ve had to worse cramps.

@Katiekattty oh no poor you. Did the cramps keep you awake? I hope they get better soon!

Welcome @Blueeyedgirl21! Here's hoping the nausea doesn't ramp up too much! 😁

@Timeandtidal thankyou my epu has booked me in for a scan a week on monday due to previous history so hoping I make it till then
@Blueeyedgirl21 I had similar at 4 weeks it felt like loads of bubbles and gurgling

I'm 4+6 today is anyone else experiencing af cramps

Joining in here.. 4w2/3d. Super sore boobs & nipples, stuffy nose & a bit of tiredness.
Had a CP in Jan so been worrying, settled yday cuz got 2-3wks wi cb digital, at same stage in Jan I was getting 1-2wks.

Congrats all , wish healthy pregnancies to everyone ❤️

Hi - hoping I can join? I’m roughly 4+3 due 13th Jan with #2.
We have a 13 month old who is in a phase of 5am starts I could do without!
I notice there’s a fb group @Ralala @Missingcoffee22?

@willithappen great news about the dye stealer!

@Timeandtidal I'm the same as you, I'm too scared to retest. I tested twice in a row and panicked as it didn't seem darker than the day before, even though both were quite dark, so now decided to step back as it probably meant nothing and is doing nothing for my anxiety. It's because I had a chemical in December.

@Blueeyedgirl21 congratulations! You are due a day before me 😊

@Katiekattty sorry about the cramps, hopefully they will get a bit better.

@Newbie202012 I keep getting AF type cramps on and off everyday. It's perfectly normal.

Oh dear... I wonder what got deleted?!

Hi everyone, I hope it's okay if I join in?

I got my bfp on Friday (12 dpo). It was super faint and I have zero symptoms apart from feeling a bit bloated. I had an mmc at 6+5 in April, so I'm not at all convinced it's viable, but figured in the spirit of positive thinking I'd tell the internet!

I'm under the care of my local recurrent miscarriage unit so I'll be trying progesterone pessaries and maybe aspirin (didn't wait for the thrombophilia screen oops). I'm hoping this helps. It's my last chance for a first baby while still aged 38, so praying its sticky.

Huge congrats to everyone! Wishing you all a happy, healthy 9 months!

Hi guys how are we all? I've got an early scan tomorrow after brown bleeding and one sided pain (that is still present ) fingers crossed all is ok! Also had the most horrific cramp in my inner right thigh last night, I was in tears. Has anyone else had similar?! 5 weeks and 1 day today it feels like it's absolutely dragging!

@weathervane123 congratulations on your bfp I have also attended the reccurent miscarriage clinic I'm also 38 this will be my 5th pregnancy 4 ended in miscarriage can I ask what happened at your appointmemrs and are they still working with u because i feel like my appointment was rushed they did bloods for antiphospholipid and thrombophillia screen ,thyroid and blood clotting disorder my results came bk normal bit still waiting for the blood clotting one to come bk as I only got them done last month the consultant said I didnt need anymore appointments unless I had to repeat the blood clotting one again, i thought i would have had a scan on my uterus and done my fsh levels but didnt offer me them she said if I fall pregnant again to take 75mg of aspirin from my bfp I asked about progesterone and she said no asprin will do , so I started taking the asprin as instructed after 3 days of taking it I have very little brown spotting, I phoned the consultant receptionist to ask the dr to ring me bk to ask what to do she wouldnt fone me bk she just got her receptionist to ring me to say stop taking it , now I've had this brown spotting for 6 days now I phoned the consultant back up today and the receptionist said I'm no longer under their care as tests have been done so I phoned my local epu and they said I should of kept taking it because brown spotting is normal with taking asprin and if it gets any heavier or pink to ring bk up I would of thought the reccurent miscarriage clinic twould of worked with me on this pregnancy but they have just cut me off.

@zeromango I've had brown spotting for 6 days now , I had a belly ach this moring but mild I foned the epu today and they said brown spotting is normal , I hope your scan goes well for you

@zeromango I've also heard that brown bleeding can be totally normal. Good luck at your scan. I hope it goes well for you.

@Newbie202012 I'm so sorry to hear of your previous losses. That's so very hard, especially when you're not getting answers. Thus far I haven't actually met with anyone at the recurrent miscarriage clinic! I wasn't expecting to yet, tbh, as I only had my mc in early April. I got a letter from the consultant gynae instead explaining that the clinic was booked up solid but rather than have me waiting an age for an appointment she'd get the ball rolling and order the thrombophilia screen if I wanted now, and she'd prescribe 150mg of aspirin if necessary for any new pregnancy. She told me to ask my GP for a prescription for progesterone for any new pregnancy but if they give me any trouble she'd sort it. I have a good GP (when I can get hold of her) but I have no problems being obnoxious over it if I need to. I was also told to call her office and book in for an early reassurance scan when I get a positive test. I doubt she thought I'd be asking for that so soon, but it's good to know it's available to me even if I don't think it'll do much to convince me I'm getting a baby out of this, particularly before 8 weeks (if I even make it that far). It's such early days and given the faintness of lines so far I'm not convinced it isn't going to end up a chemical or an early mc.

I'm kicking myself a little that I didn't wait for a first period post-mc/to have the thrombophilia screen done but I've emailed her and asked whether I should take the aspirin anyway given that I'm pregnant again and missed my chance.

I think you should ask your GP about thyroid/FSH and anything else you think may be useful to get to the bottom of the issue. Given your history, if you push I think you stand a good chance of getting those tests done. I'm just not sure if you can have them done when you're pregnant because the pregnancy may affect the result?

It's odd they've cut you off completely, especially if you haven't even gotten the results of one of your tests back. Could the receptionist be mistaken? Were they able to offer you karotyping?

I think there's a point where the NHS runs out of options and then it's a matter of going private, but it sounds really shitty they wouldn't even prescribe progesterone, which seems standard. The standard of care really varies depending on where you are too.

@zeromango I had some brown spotting on Tuesday and then again today. It's such a worrying time isn't it. I'm hoping with me it's just because I have irritated my cervix as I'm taking progesterone pessaries. Don't get a scan until 20th May so a while to wait! I'm 5+3 today
Fingers crossed we're both okay!

Hello all- hopefully ok that I join 😊
Wishing you all healthy pregnancies ❤️❤️

I am due 12th January with our first little one. Got my positive on 2nd May at 3 weeks 5 days. Had the odd occasions of nausea from 3 weeks up to the day I took the test, plus my wee smelled... but since the test I have had 0 symptoms 😬, compared to my pregnancy last year it couldn't be more opposite I could barley move for the nausea.

I am anxious anyway after a mmc just before Christmas last year... but now I have no symptoms I just can't control the anxiety at all and can barely concentrate on anything else. I am very happy to know others are in the same boat as me from reading the comments- checking knickers etc. Oh and the constant bad dreams are horrible!!

Have a private scan booked on the 23rd May... for everyone else with their early scan booked then... wishing you all the best !! 🥰🥰 mine is booked in probably too early to see anything but I just couldn't wait any longer and will likely have another a couple of week after also 😢

Hey @AlexandraH87 !
How far along will you be at that scan?
It's super anxious but think we all just over think ourselves. Probably doesn't do much help but it's hard not to over think it isn't it?
I have read a lot that no symptoms up until around 6/7 weeks is normal. I have also read about soooo many things being normal at this stage that usually make us sorry. Brown spotting is meant to be normal with ivf pregnancies and 1 in 4 report it but yet here I am still convincing myself of the worst.

@zeromango @willithappen @Newbie202012
I’m sorry you’re going through the spotting, but it it helps, I went through that with DS and was absolutely fine. Brown spotting for maybe 7-10 days which on one occasion was light pink.
They couldn’t explain it but I had an early scan and happy to say he’s 13 months now and an absolute delight 💙

@ELW85 thank you so much for popping in with that :)
I think mine is maybe cervix irritation as it's only lasting a couple of hours and is sporadic rather than for straight days.

@ELW85 thanks for that it gives me some hope

@weathervane123 sorry about your mc hope this one sticks for you ,
I havnt been checking my line progression this pregnancy as It always stresses me out so I'm trying to be more relaxed this time,
I've read that some people have never got strong lines and they went on to have healthy pregnancy. How far along are u ?
the consultant never offered me karotyping at the appointment every thing I mentioned she wasnt bothered all she kept saying was I'm falling pregnant quite fast so I have a high chance of successful pregnancy , she said to take the aspin from bfp because that's what she advices everyone even without the results of the blood clotting test , I got a letter of them about 2 1/2weeks ago with my plan for future pregnancies
all it said was
*75mg from positive pregnancy test
*To book in for a 7 weeks scan at my local epu
*Afyer visibility scan at 7 weeks to be put on 150mg asprin
*They will contact me with result by post
That's it ,
Considering I dont get over 5 1/2 weeks apart from the 1 late pregnancy loss i had I think the 7 week is a joke to be honest think they just added that in so it looked like abit more other than just take asprin

if this pregnacy ends I'm going to contact my gp and ask them to make me a appointment with my local gyna (the other clinic was out of town) even If they dont offer any other tests and just prescribe me progesterone at at least i know I have tryed it rather than wondering if that would of helped
My local epu has booked me in for a 6 weeks scan if I make it that far
I didnt tell them that my plan of the consultant said 7 week scan incase they said stick to that, I just mentioned the asprin and my history so they just said come in at 6weeka
When are you booking in for your scan ,

@weathervane123 wow sorry I didnt relize how long that msg was sorry I got carried away lol
