Hi everyone,

There’s a few separate threads with people due in January so I thought I’d try and bring us all together under one roof :)

Congratulations to everyone and sending lots of positive vibes for happy healthy pregnancies!

@Madeoftea Hey, I had implantation bleeding with my last baby but I didn't know I was pregnant so I mistook it for a period as it was first cycle off pill.
For me, it was like brown in colour and more sticky rather than like blood.. mine was on and off for around 2 days (I think). I hope you're okay xx

Hi everyone! Due around 4th jab I think! 5 +3 according to LMP. Had scan yesterday and they found gest sac and yolk sac but nothing else as of yet. Got another scan in 2 weeks so keeping everything crossed til then. I had my second dose of AZ 23rd April and doc doesn't seem concerned at all about that. Sore boobs, slight nausea on and off and TMI but terrible constipation and cramps 😭

@Madeoftea I got my BFP last Monday and have had on and off cramps every day. From everyone I have spoken to it seems pretty normal.

Giraffe888 · 07/05/2021 07:43

@Madeoftea I had it with my first pregnancy on 4 occasions and with this one I had it like you’ve described 3 days before AF was due x

@Madeoftea I've not had any implantation bleeding but I've read a lot of people do get it. I could write try not to worry but I know that's pretty useless advice... of course you're worrying... but a small bit of blood doesn't sound like it could indicate anything really bad x

After abstaining for the 14 day wait from IVF embryo transfer to BFP test day, I've had sex twice and both times resulted in a little blood. I don't know if it's a result of having an ET (speculums and catheters) but it's worrying me. It was only directly after each time and didn't last long. It's putting me off as I don't want to risk harming the little one? Anyone else had this?

Madeoftea · 07/05/2021 11:00

Thank you all, so far so good today so I'm hoping that's a good sign. I guess the worry will never go away from this point on!

bages1977 · 07/05/2021 11:15

@Howiesgirl I did not conceive through IVF but I had sex for the first time last weekend since my BFP and I also had a little bit of blood afterwards. I'd say maybe a couple of drops. I think it's Norma due to bigger blood flow in the area

Clarkey86 · 07/05/2021 12:51

I think also your cervix starts to change so the blood can come from there more easily when it’s irritated during sex.

If anyone wants added to the Facebook group then either private message me or @Missingcoffee22. We can send you the link to join, more the merrier! I find these threads hard to keep up with after a while!

@Madeoftea spotting is so stressful. Some light break through spotting at time of period is very common.

My experience of spotting didn’t end with a good outcome as you know from our MC thread. But I had browny spotting and back pain about 7.5 weeks. My pelvis started to ache and then the spotting over a couple of days got heavier and heavier and turned into a period.

I would think what you are experiencing sounds normal for now. Xxx

Does anyone else’s boobs feel like they grow during the course of the day!?

In the morning my bras fit and by the evening I’m so uncomfortable in them

Tentatively placeholding 🤞🤞🤞 Estimated DD by apps is Jan 6th ❤️

Froel1982 · 07/05/2021 17:28

Hi, I got my BFP yesterday and according to my app I'm due 16th January 2022. This is my second baby and I don't think its fully sunk in yet. I'm so, so happy but probably need some time to wrap my head around the idea of 2 kids. Lovely to meet you all 😊 I hope all your pregnancies are happy and healthy.

bakingdemon · 07/05/2021 17:32

Did my test today as I've had a rotten headache and was wondering how many drugs I could take. Very few is the answer! App says I'm like to be due around the 12th Jan, though DC1 was 9 days late so who knows. Thrilled though, as we really want a second.

@Ralala Hey, I'd like to join the Facebook group - no one will be able to say that I've joined it though will they? X

It is private so people outside the group can't see who is a member.. also @ralala gave it a name that doesn't refer to pregnancy either x

Yorkshireswithallroasts · 07/05/2021 18:46

Hello. I found out I was pregnant yesterday, very early days obviously, due date currently at 15th January. All being well this will be our second child. We’re very excited and a bit shocked as we tried for over a year with no success and just last weekend we’d had a conversation about how we would probably just knock the trying on the head and get on with our lives! I would love to join the Facebook group, what do I need to do?

bakingdemon · 07/05/2021 18:47

Can you DM through the MN app? I can't find how to do it

Ralala · 07/05/2021 18:56

@bakingdemon I have sent you the link xx

@Yorkshireswithalltheroasts congratulations 😊 message @ralala or me and we can link you

Flowers222 · 07/05/2021 20:00

@Froel1982 congrats! We are due date twins 😊 and I only found out yesterday too. This is my first and I am still in shock. I think it will take a couple of weeks before I believe it is true

Howiesgirl · 07/05/2021 20:39

Can someone check my maths... so I know we had fertilisation (IVF) on 15th April but they always add on 2 weeks so that makes 1st April "day 1" am I right in saying 40 weeks is then 6th Jan? Have I added correctly? Is pregnancy 38 weeks + 2 or is it 40 weeks in which case as I know it was 15th am I actually due 20th?? So confused.... Confused

Howiesgirl · 07/05/2021 20:42

(I think it is the 6th Jan - the clinic haven't really explained anything just booked me in for a scan later in the month)
