Hey,
Anyone else out there due April 2022.
I got my BFP at 10DPO yesterday. I already have a 6 month old daughter and it's my 4th pregnancy 🌈❤️

@Laurenxx94 fingers crossed it was just old blood working it’s way out, it certainly sounds promising that your cramps and spotting have stopped. I bet your scan can’t come soon enough for you.

I’m 5 + 1 today and got the magic 3+ on a clear blue weeks just now.
I’ve been so scared of this being unviable I haven’t actually told the GP (or actually even registered at the GP in my new area!) so I might try to do that today. I’m not normally this useless but I’m so scared of miscarrying I’ve been completely irrational. My husband had words with me yesterday and told me I was being crazy so I’d better get on with it 😂
I’m also going to try to book a private scan at 7 weeks, I think if I see it in real life I might feel a bit better.

Laurenxx94 · 09/08/2021 07:50

@bollocksthemess thanks so much. Feeling much better this morning !

Totally understand your concerns. I really hope I get my 3+ tomorrow il be 5.1 I done it yesterday and 2-3 which was expected , definitely book a scan it will
Make u feel better I think xx

FinnsMammy · 09/08/2021 08:08

@Laurenxx94 that’s good news hopefully it was a once off! I hope the week goes quickly for you and you can see your little bean soon xx

Laurenxx94 · 09/08/2021 08:15

@FinnsMammy thankyou! How r u feeling today? Xx

FinnsMammy · 09/08/2021 09:13

@Laurenxx94 I’m good thanks wishing I didn’t have to work lol and then I could just sleep all day! Think I’m going to book my doctors appointment today and further book an early scan! We are supposed to be going on hols to turkey in a few weeks when I’m 8 weeks so thinking of booking a scan before I go on hols so really hoping it’s good news this time and I can enjoy my holiday! Other than that I’m feeling quit nauseous in the mornings and I have definite food aversions which I know is still quiet early for these symptoms but Im just rolling with it as I didn’t have any of this with my last MC so I’m hoping these are good signs. How are you feeling now? X

Laurenxx94 · 09/08/2021 09:57

@FinnsMammy I'm
Alright, just cramping and brown blood again I'm not holding out much hope . I'm waiting on EPU phoning me back xx

FinnsMammy · 09/08/2021 10:25

@Laurenxx94 so sorry to hear this! Let us know how you get on! The brown blood wouldn’t worry me too much except for the cramping. You never know how these things go it could all be ok but I know the worrying feeling all too well it’s not nice !hopefully you get some answers soon.Thinking of you 😘

Cheekymonkey3112 · 09/08/2021 10:53

@Laurenxx94 sending you a big hug hun. Hopefully epu tell you to go up and get seen and can provide reassurance 🤞 xx

coconutcurls · 09/08/2021 11:04

@Cheekymonkey3112 ah thank you!

Jj2393 · 09/08/2021 12:03

@Nervyy going back a few pages now, but in answer to your questions this is my second pregnancy, however the first ended in MMC back in May. Hence the extra anxiety! I have a private scan booked on August 25th when I'll be 8.5 weeks, was hoping for an early NHS scan but not heard anything yet... How about you for both qs?

@Laurenxx94 I hope you get some answers very soon, and I really really hope it's good news for you ❤️

@Cheekymonkey3112 the hungover feeling has hit me this morning too, staring at a screen all day for work really doesn't help! Hoping a cup of tea in the sun will do some good ☀️

@bollocksthemess I didn't tell my GP for the first week of knowing for the same reason - fear it wasn't viable. Rationally I know telling the GP won't change a thing, but it felt like tempting fate!

Laurenxx94 · 09/08/2021 12:57

Thanks ladies , I'm actually in 2 threads so copying this from the other !

Currently sat in EPU , got my urine done ( all clear) bloods are sent away ( going to take 2 hours )

Just had a cervical exam with a speculum 🤢🥴 bloody horrid, BUT cervix is closed and no bleeding or that around it so that's a positive!
Worried about my right sided pain so going to speak to senior doctor and wait on my bloods 😫 also moved my scan to next week instead of 2 haha! Hopefully be ok 💜 thanks again for all your support ladies xx

Paintingfences · 09/08/2021 13:34

Hi all, hope ye don't mind me joining! Long story short, came off my pill at start of July and positive test this morning. No idea what happens now, just have to relax a bit and ring doctor tomorrow. I'm cautiously optimistic but trying to being realistic also.

Due April 2022
Cheekymonkey3112 · 09/08/2021 14:01

@Jj2393 I've just woke up from a 2h nap. I'm exhausted haha

Cheekymonkey3112 · 09/08/2021 14:03

@Laurenxx94 sending a big hug, that's good that your cervix is closed. Keeping my fingers crossed for a good hcg level for you. 🤞🤞🤞 I'm thinking about you xx

Congratulations and welcome @Paintingfences xx

Derbee · 09/08/2021 14:29

Hi all, I posted at the beginning, but have been nervous about it all, so stayed away for a bit. Did a clear blue digital this morning and got 3+ weeks (am 6w4d). Haven’t registered with a GP (just moved) or contacted midwives etc, but I think I need to sort that all out this week!

Haven’t told anyone yet, but we have a family holiday in a week, and I feel so sick I’m sure everyone will guess. Much earlier than I’d choose to tell everyone though, so not sure what to do!... first pregnancy, so everything feels very surreal

Laurenxx94 · 09/08/2021 14:39

Well ladies , HCG is at 2800 for 5 weeks exactly( I think). Got a scan tomorrow to rule out ectopic but not expecting to see anything which is ok! ❤️

Carolinesturn · 09/08/2021 15:06

@Laurenxx94 is your pain very intense?

Motherofkittens28 · 09/08/2021 15:21

@Laurenxx94 sounds pretty similar to mine, I was 1765 on 4+6 and 3789 today at 5+1.

Laurenxx94 · 09/08/2021 15:25

@Carolinesturn on and off can be tho!

@Motherofkittens28 that's great! Do u think 2800 sounds ok? X

imfm · 09/08/2021 16:36

Hi all, hoping to join this thread and the Facebook group. Based on LMP I'm 5+3 with my second child. Really excited, but in disbelief. I had my 2nd dose of Pfizer 3 days ago - I didn't give it a second thought beforehand, but now I'm second-guessing my decision. Only time will tell whether it was the right choice, I guess ! I've yet to tell GP or get in touch with midwives but it's on my to do list. Lovely to hear everyone's experiences x

lindsay2879 · 09/08/2021 16:56

@Laurenxx94 your levels sound good. If you Google hcg levels you should be able to see a week by week guide as to what they should be (tried to post a screen shot but it wouldn't let me) x x x

lindsay2879 · 09/08/2021 16:58

@imfm welcome and congrats! I think most of us are on the Facebook page now x x x

Cheekymonkey3112 · 09/08/2021 16:58

@laurenxx94 your numbers are similar to mine too. I was 1340 at 4+5 and 3044 at 5weeks 🤞🤞 I'm keeping my fingers crossed for tomorrow 💕

Laurenxx94 · 09/08/2021 17:12

@lindsay2879 hopefully all in the right place ❤️

@Cheekymonkey3112 that's very reassuring! Thanks! Have u ever done a cb digi to confirm 3+? I'm tempted 😂 but probably best I don't haha xx

Motherofkittens28 · 09/08/2021 17:20

@Laurenxx94 I think yours is right in the middle of my two, mine was probably around there yesterday when I was exactly 5 weeks, I'm a day ahead of you
