Scared - hoping this one sticks!!

I’ve just found out I’m pregnant.

Last year we had 3 chemical pregnancies so I’m super paranoid!

This time round, I’ve had quite a bit of left side pains and twinges, I’m knackered but not sleeping well overnight and a little nauseous.

I’ve completely changed my diet the past few weeks - cut out all the rubbish and fizzy drinks and now drink just water and eat a lot better!

I’m just praying this sticks!

I hope very much that this time things work out well for you.

Hi @Lerp2 congratulations on your BFP. I have had 4 losses (2 MMC and 2 chemicals) I got a BFP this morning at 14dpo and I’m also praying this one sticks.
How many weeks are you? xx

Congratulations @MrsS89K - it’s so scary isn’t it?

I’m 5 weeks 5 days. Literally taking each day as it comes. Trying not to get excited as it just ended in disappointment the past few times.

I really hope yours is a sticky bean too! Is this your first baby?

SO scary! I’m working from home today but struggling to concentrate. I don’t have any living babies :( do you?
That’s good you are 5w, 5d. You are almost in the safe zone from having a chemical 🤞🏼Have you contacted your GP or EPU to see if you can get an early scan? Or will you wait until 12 weeks?

Lerp2 · 05/08/2021 10:51

Oh I’m the same! Every time I feel a twinge or go for a wee - I’m staring at the toilet paper 😂😂

I don’t either - I do have 3 fur babies (dogs) and they are currently my life!

I haven’t yet for fear of losing this one but going to give them a ring today! When will you contact yours?

I have fur babies to, but 2 cats.

My last chemical loss started on 7th July and that’s when my test went negative too, so I’m only 4 weeks. Really early days for me, I’m going to be a mess with worry over the next 2 weeks!

Let me know how you get on x

Sorry I meant to add to that message, I’ve attached my tests. The bottom one I took 20 mins ago, feels quite strong for 4 weeks so hopefully that’s a good sign 🤞🏼

Great tests!!

How are you feeling?

I spoke to the midwife yesterday and have my first appointment booked in for two weeks time.

Feeling anxious everyday but I’m further along than I’ve been before!

Hey @Lerp2 I’m feeling ok thanks, just tired but I don’t know if that’s because I’m up all night worrying, or if it’s a pregnancy symptom! Tested this morning at 19dpo and got a strong positive but I’m still only 4w 5 days

That’s great you have spoken to a midwife, is that your booking appointment or are you having an early scan?
