Hey,
Anyone else out there due April 2022.

Sorry, should say *with a FRER. Still in giddy shock do please excuse the typos!

Carolinesturn · 30/07/2021 07:26

@summertimes2021 maybe you're too early to show on anything but a FRER just now

summertimes2021 · 30/07/2021 07:30

I hope so but my bbt dropped below cover line this morning too :(

21Bee · 30/07/2021 07:40

@summertimes2021 I think you are best to contact your doctor. I had a similar situation to the one you are with spotting and tests showing positive and negative, sadly it was an early miscarriage. The doctors should be able to send you for a scan to check what is going on. Hopefully everything is okay if you go and get a scan!

Carolinesturn · 30/07/2021 07:41

@summertimes2021 I'm sorry I don't take temps so I can't help there. Let us know how you progress

Carolinesturn · 30/07/2021 07:45

@Currantz welcome :) have you shared your news yet?

GoingGently · 30/07/2021 07:54

@summertimes2021 just want to say sorry you're having this experience x

GoingGently · 30/07/2021 07:59

I am in such a quandary about whether to go to this event. I've not been jabbed because of TTC and worries about another random chromosomal problem. Ironically I was going to bite the bullet and get jabbed this month if AF turned up. It's a reasonably important event professionally but now just feels a bit risky for pg at this delicate stage. Think lots of people sit down lunch, drinks and mingling. Booze dodging and cheek kissing will be another problem! Would you go the week you got a pg test if not jabbed yet?!

Carolinesturn · 30/07/2021 08:11

@GoingGently I completely get your concerns, it's a worry. I was due my second jab the day I tested positive but I didn't get it, now I'm wondering if I made the right decision. I would say to make yourself feel better and not worry maybe don't go.

PlanABC · 30/07/2021 08:51

@summertimes2021 i hope everything is okay x

Carolinesturn · 30/07/2021 08:59

@Cheekymonkey3112 how are you today? Is the one sided pain subsiding?

@summertimes2021 thinking of you, definitely agree to speak with doctor and maybe have some bloods done 😘

@21Bee or anyone else want to set one up? I would but I'm terrified I'd have to leave. I was in July and October ones I had to leave early 😔

Cheekymonkey3112 · 30/07/2021 10:19

@Carolinesturn unfortunately I still have it, my mind is doing over time 😭 it's in my groin area? I was fine when I woke up and now it's back again. Ugh! Just got another 6 days to find out what's happening 😭 thanks for thinking of me. How are you?

PlanABC · 30/07/2021 10:31

@cheekymonkey3112 i really hope it's just normal pains and that your bloods/scans come back normal. I had some pains around there yesterday but they were shortlived. 💜

Carolinesturn · 30/07/2021 10:41

@Cheekymonkey3112 I had such bad pelvic pains before I tested, I was almost bent double, mine changed from side to side. If it's ectopic would it not be constant? Are you experiencing any bleeding now?
I'm ok, cramps have eased (good sign? Who knows!) getting sharp pains behind my nipples but boobs don't feel much different just an odd sensation.

Cheekymonkey3112 · 30/07/2021 10:45

@PlanABC @Carolinesturn thanks girls. I phoned EPAS there and the lady was lovely. She said as the pain hasn't went away it could likely be ectopic but it's a good sign that it hasn't got any worse. I'm going to take some more paracetamol and she did say I could take a low dose cocodamol if the paracetamol isn't helping any. She said if it gets worse to phone straight back but if not we will see what happens at the bloods tomorrow. I'm tempted to go for a bath but scared I have it too high a temp 😭 xx

summertimes2021 · 30/07/2021 11:03

Doctor won't see me yet they just said monitor the bleeding etc for now. I got another frer it is lighter but the simple and clear pregnancy test seems slightly darker to me. The bleeding has stopped now.

Carolinesturn · 30/07/2021 11:10

That's good news @summertimes2021, the fact you are getting darker lines.
Also @Cheekymonkey3112 would you actually be feeling pain this soon in your pregnancy? I thought ectopic pain started later. I really hope you girls worries disappear in the coming days, worries often do

summertimes2021 · 30/07/2021 11:25

I can't understand why the frer is lighter than yesterday though :( I called the epu and they said they would give me a call as you can self refer there.

What do you all think

What dpo are you @summertimes2021

summertimes2021 · 30/07/2021 12:03

Unfortunately I have no idea :( period was due 2 days ago

Carolinesturn · 30/07/2021 12:27

@summertimes2021 I heard you should track pregnancy on line progression as there are so many variables in the ink etc. Sounds like you're still v early

Firstimer101 · 30/07/2021 12:34

Hi!
So pleased to have found you all. I’ve just found out I’m pregnant today. My period last month was a week late due to the vaccine so I assumed my late period this month was still a hangover from the vaccine.
I’ve had two months this year where I basically had a phantom pregnancy. Then this month I was convinced I wasn’t pregnant and here we are.
We are due to get married in 3 weeks and this is our first child so very exciting. My mum is also very very ill and yesterday we found out she has about a year left. I feel so emotional that she potentially will meet this child but won’t see it grow up.
Congratulations to you all xxx

Cheekymonkey3112 · 30/07/2021 12:40

@Carolinesturn yeh any time from 4 weeks you can feel pain if it's an ectopic. They couldn't see my ovaries yesterday on the scan to see if anything was growing in the tubes. She actually asked if I'd had one removed. I was given stuff for constipation and have been and have farted a lot haha so I think they were hoping that was causing my pain but obviously the pain hasn't went away so they are slightly concerned which is why they want me to go straight up if the pain gets worse. Ugh! The unknown is killing me 😭
