Hello.

I'm due 4th February after getting a very faint line on Sunday, positive on an FRER Monday and now a 1-2 weeks on a clear blue yesterday.

I am in absolute shook as I have a 7 month old at home and was on the Non-hormonal coil.

I've found out super early,

I'm 6 weeks today and for the first time I have some spotting. It was only there when I wiped. We DTD last night so I'm hoping it was just that, as that is the first time we've done it since we got our BFP, and I know it can cause that (but it is the following day..?). When I think about my lack of symptoms it is worrying me though.

A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 · 10/06/2021 15:51

@Trinacham what colour was it and do you have any cramps at all?

I'm exactly the same, had a little spotting (after going to the loo - constipated) and so haven't had sex. If you get spotting and cramps together (quite strong cramps) GP should send you to EPU just as a precaution for some blood tests. In all likelihood though it's having had sex irritating the cervix. Was told I might get some spotting after my internal scan today

Trinacham · 10/06/2021 16:36

It wasn't bright red at all, just pink and maybe a bit brown. No cramps. I've just been to the loo again and didnt have any spotting when I wiped this time so I will try to relax for now, and hope there's no more.
Thank you for your reassuring advice.

VixFromThe6ix · 10/06/2021 16:45

Just wanted to join!!

I'm 6+1 today so also would be an early February baby if it sticks 🤞

Super bloated, sore boobs, burps, increased appetite, tiredness are my current symptoms. Bout a week ago had pretty bad cramps but mostly at night.

A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 · 10/06/2021 16:49

@Trinacham if you're worried call the GP, mine has actually been lovely and reassuring. So don't worry about wasting their time or anything!

@VixFromThe6ix 👋

Marauder94 · 10/06/2021 17:28

@Sophiederuges I promised myself I wouldn't be as anxious this time! But I cant help it haha. I was the Exact same with my son xx

Marauder94 · 10/06/2021 17:28

@VixFromThe6ix hello!! Congrats xx

Marauder94 · 10/06/2021 17:29

@Trinacham I used to spot after DTD when I was pregnant with DS. But if you're worried definitely ring the doctor just for some reassurance xx

A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 · 10/06/2021 17:35

@Marauder94 and others really, are you still having sex? I'm giving it another week because of spotting I had, but feel pretty nervous to start again. I know it's ridiculous, but what's everyone else doing?

Marauder94 · 10/06/2021 17:40

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 we haven't had sex yet this pregnancy. But I did throughout my last one and everything was fine. Until about 30 weeks where you get cramps after.

But, I probably would have DTD by now but my partner works away from home mon-fri and my DS is 8 months and crawling now...

Tbh, it was a literal one off that we conceived this little baby bug.... I was on the coil, partner works away, we had sex just once and here we are haha

Tabbycat92 · 10/06/2021 20:00

We haven't had sex yet either. I think last pregnancy I held out until after my first scan, I just don't feel I'd be able to relax enough to do it 🙈

Random one, I've been getting slight sharp pains that last seconds, I'm putting it down to ligament stretching. But after these pains my abdomen is generally tender to the touch. Anyone else got this? Is it normal? I can't necessarily remember this with DS, and it didn't happen with my MC

Fkar1 · 10/06/2021 20:26

Omg, had my first wave of nausea today. I did a Peloton workout, came off the bike and thought I was going to throw up 🤢

Anyone else felt this with exercise? This was my first workout, as was a bit nervous before.

I've had bad nausea today too. Not through exercise though - becoming a couch potato. I'm so tired that just walking is making me out of breath. And I'm so bloated! I did a marathon in October 😭 I'm sure my running club must suspect as I've gone incognito - Desperate to get back to it

Hi everyone!
We were going to start trying for our second DC next month. On Tuesday night I realised my period was late so I did a test and it was positive! Due 14 February if all goes well. Just wanted to say hi and join the group Smile

Snap!! I cried at the radio yesterday because someone won £30k, not sure if it was hormones or jealousy 😂x
Aeb88 · 11/06/2021 07:26

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 yes... I haven’t had any spotting or anything. No harm in waiting till you feel comfortable though.

Tabbycat92 · 11/06/2021 07:51

HI Everyone!

Sorry not been on in a few days!! Congratulations to everyone new since I last posted!!
@Tabbycat92 we haven't braved sex yet either since my positive! Have it in my mind to wait until my scan, when had my DD 4 years ago, the fertility doc advised me to wait so think I will Grin

Still not sure how many weeks I am, have a call with the doctor this afternoon regarding folic acid 5mg and pain in my hip. Keep panicking going to go to the toilet and see red!

How are we all feeling today? Ready for being football widows with the Euros starting? Haha

Mxx

Sophiederuges · 11/06/2021 11:06

@AmICrazy36 I completely forgot to ask about the increased folic acid. Thanks for reminding me! I’m 6 weeks, I hope I’m not too late Sad

My DH doesn’t like football though we do enjoy watching the big games together!

AmICrazy36 · 11/06/2021 11:11

@Sophiederuges My bmi is slightly above 30 Sad Last time I'm sure was way after 6 weeks I was on them, give them a wee call if needed Smile
