I've done about 10 tests over the past few days and can now confidently say I'm pregnant! Due 1 March according to the NHS calculator.

Feeling ok so far, just tired and a bit queasy. It's my second pregnancy so a bit less of a novelty than last time! And my toddler is keeping me too busy to think much about it Grin

Anyone else in the same boat? Care to join me for a discussion of our slowly bloating ankles, rising heartburn, fluttering bumps over the next few months? Smile

The tiredness is something else, I'm 8.5 weeks and if anything getting worse. I'm struggling to get a decent sleep at night, for some reason I have terrible nausea around midnight and need to pee every 4 hours :/ today I took a 2 hour nap over lunchtime... I'm not sure I'd function without it, thank god for WFH!

Have had some blood when I wipe after going for a wee, along with mild period like cramps.

Am now worried about the possibility of miscarrying 😓

H8theW8 · 02/08/2021 18:39

I'm just over 7 weeks and have had a dull ache really low down in my stomach today. It's not severe but it's there and it's continuous. Didn't have this with DS. Hoping everything is ok and it's just my uterus stretching 🤞🏼

H8theW8 · 02/08/2021 18:41

@AliceTheCamelHasFiveHumps how far long are you? Was the blood bright red? Bleeding in the early stages isn't necessarily anything to worry about x

AliceTheCamelHasFiveHumps · 02/08/2021 18:44

6w2d.

Bright red, yes. A few spots. Almost watery I guess?

AliceTheCamelHasFiveHumps · 02/08/2021 18:44

I have a viability scan in Thursday, so I'll see how it goes.

(IVF baby, FET cycle)

AliceTheCamelHasFiveHumps · 02/08/2021 18:45

It looks like the first drops and drops of my period. If that makes sense?

H8theW8 · 02/08/2021 18:50

@AliceTheCamelHasFiveHumps I really hope that everything works out for you and that your scan goes well 🤞🏼 early pregnancy is such a stressful time (especially an IVF pregnancy) x

AliceTheCamelHasFiveHumps · 02/08/2021 18:54

I'm sure this happened last time...and DD19m is here!

H8theW8 · 02/08/2021 19:14

@AliceTheCamelHasFiveHumps That's great to hear! I'm sure this little one will follow suit x

treesall · 02/08/2021 19:38

@H8theW8 I'm 7+4/5 and tonight I've got aches too tonight. It feels just like period pain - I've been to the loo about twenty times in the last hour to check for bleeding.

I know I had cramps with my successful pregnancy (though I thought they were a bit earlier than this) but after 4 losses I'm paranoid! x

Hello, can I join? I’m 9+5 weeks. My constant symptoms now are exhaustion, some nausea and my boobs are definitely on the increase. I had early bleeding around 4+5 weeks and at 6weeks or there abouts had a scan at the EPU and saw the heart beat egg sac etc. I was pretty stunned. I’m desperate to get my booking appointment and 12wk scan booked but still not heard from midwives/maternity. My GP has been very helpful but I’m just getting impatient now. Based around south coast - has anyone else had their booking appointments? Do you get much notice? I really want to have another scan but wait for the nhs one as I’m only a few weeks off…….(also FTM to be here)

H8theW8 · 03/08/2021 19:09

@treesall I know what you mean about the knicker checking 🙈 how you feeling today? Sorry to hear about your previous losses, that must amplify the anxiety tenfold!

I have an early scan booked for next week. Are you having one? X

treesall · 03/08/2021 19:49

@H8theW8 thanks for asking. I'm on thank you. Have kept really busy today so that has helped. Feeling knackered too, but still not that nauseous really, and I was really poorly at this stage with my successful pregnancy. Still, I can't change it so what will be will be!

I had a 6w scan where the baby was the right size but the hb was a bit slow. I have a follow up 8w scan on Friday where I'm fully expecting to be told it's all over. Will keep my fingers crossed for yours next week. These early weeks pass sooooo slowly x

@MoseSchrute I'm not in the South but my booking scan appointment came through the post nearly a week after my booking in midwife appointment. I went there at 8 weeks. My dating scan isn't until 13 weeks.
MoseSchrute · 03/08/2021 21:37

Thanks @MissL85

Cluelost · 03/08/2021 22:01

My dating scan is at 13 weeks as well :/ hopefully that just means we'll get good pictures haha had the booking appointment at 8 weeks

Mylittleangel12 · 03/08/2021 22:15

Hi can I join in plz first congratulations on your pregnancys

we had a little scare on our 6+2 scan baby was only measuring 5+2 , went back to epu 10days later for a rescan had great news baby measurements caught up and was 2 days ahead of my calculated date so I'm now 8+3 , the worst symptom I have is nausea some days it's on and off day , the only thing what stops it for a while is iced water, I've got my booking appointment on the 30th Aug then my 12 week dating scan the day after

CorpusCallosum · 03/08/2021 22:42

@treesall good luck for Friday 🤞❤️

H8theW8 · 04/08/2021 11:56

@treesall I'll be keeping every crossed for you 🤞🏼

I'm 8+6 today going by LMP but I know I ovulated CD25 so think I'm only 7+3. My scan is a week tomorrow so it'll be interesting to see how they date me x

lollypop725 · 04/08/2021 11:57

I'm due March 28, how are your tests looking?

H8theW8 · 04/08/2021 11:57

Everything*

H8theW8 · 04/08/2021 12:00

@lollypop725 I'm due 20th March and stopped testing weeks ago. Did my last FRER at 15dpo and my last digital at 22dpo once I got 'Pregnant 3+' x

I'm scared I might be having a chemical as my tests are still faint

H8theW8 · 04/08/2021 12:41

@lollypop725 how many dpo are you? Have you tried a digital test? X
