Hey ladies, it’s been a long week of finding out I’m pregnant. I have done so many pregnancy tests to keep looking if there getting darker. Iv had some mild aches in my grown area on the right & left side. I have the worst anxiety thinking I have lost this baby as I no symptoms what so ever, I have googled every part of early pregnancy and feel a complete mess. I have a early scan next Thursday, for re current miscarriages. I will post my pregnancy tests. I also done a clue blue last week which was 2-3 weeks, but nervous to do another.

@Calbooo hi! My scan is tomorrow... feeling very nervous but will update afterwards. How are you doing? X

Calbooo · 06/09/2021 19:50

@lawandgin mines on Thursday ! I’m literally terrified. I have it in my head that it hasn’t worked out. Still no symptoms. Just a few light cramps. I wish u all the best tomorrow x

@Calbooo I know, it's awful isn't it - I'm also terrified! I don't have many symptoms apart from tiredness, vivid dreams and a bit of constipation (sorry, TMI!) No nausea yet! Good luck for Thursday and I'll let you know how mine goes tomorrow. For tonight I am just going to try and enjoy "being pregnant" x

Calbooo · 06/09/2021 20:01

Ah bless you. It really is horrible. I can’t think forward until I know. I’m hoping my gut instinct is wrong! God willing everything is fine and we can move on to the 12 week scan 😩

Hi @Calbooo it went well thanks! Today she could see the gestational sac with the yolk sac inside. I am back on Friday for another scan and I'm hoping to see the fetal pole then. There is a lot of waiting around and anxiety in early pregnancy! Thank you for thinking of me and I will be thinking of you on Thursday x

Calbooo · 07/09/2021 14:01

@lawandginthats brilliant news ! So happy for you. Hopefully my update will be a positive one !

@lawandgin - glad to hear you saw an yolk sac today. Good luck for scan on Friday. How is your ohss improving?

@Calbooo - good luck for your scan tomorrow

lawandgin · 08/09/2021 09:54

@morningvenus thank you! I am a little nervous about not seeing the fetal pole yet but I am just trying to be positive. The ohss is improving very slowly. I have lost a few kg but it's still very uncomfortable to do anything other than lay on the sofa! How are you doing?

morningvenus · 09/09/2021 16:14

@lawandgin - I am well, I have 12 week scan on 18th. Am terrified.

Good luck for your scan tomorrow. At your last scan, it was too early to see fetal pole. Hopefully tomorrow you will see. Ohss improves very slowly unfortunately. Take as much rest as you can & drink fluids.

Calbooo · 09/09/2021 17:50

@lawandgin I wanted to update everyone as these treads never get updated.

I went for the scan today and I saw the heartbeat ! Literally could not believe it as I had bad news in my head from the light cramping to my tests not being very dark.

I’m only 5 weeks so I was 1 week behind.
It’s gonna be a long ride but I wish you all the best !

@Calbooo I’m so glad you’ve seen your little ones heart beat. When you say your tests weren’t so dark, how dark were they?

I’m currently 4.5 weeks and my tests aren’t as bold as they were with my daughter so I’m worrying! I’m going for blood tests next week 💕

Calbooo · 10/09/2021 06:08

@AnxietyAnnie95 thank you. I was gonna post about the tests as this time round I tested like mad. Iv never done that before and tbh it makes no difference at all.
If you have 2 lines your pregnant and just leave it as that.
I think we have to much information in front of us that we get caught up. Well I did. Which made my anxiety so high that yesterday I was going in with bad news.
It’s still early days for me. But i know that we go Google mad.

Getting your HCG tests are the best start.
Xxx

Why do the lines send us so crazy eh!!

I hope everything goes super well for you. This is my latest line today. Tbh, it does look quite bold. I don’t know why I allow myself to worry!

@AnxietyAnnie95 - Your line looks fab. Please don't worry yourself with these tests

@Calbooo - So happy to hear you saw the heartbeat. Congratulations!! Don't worry about being behind; it happens in early pregnancy apparently

@lawandgin - good luck for today

lawandgin · 10/09/2021 11:15

@Calbooo great news for you, I'm so pleased! @morningvenus thank you both for your well wishes - it went perfectly with a fetal pole and even a heartbeat! I am 6+4 but measuring 6+1 but the heartbeat was excellent and they went worried as measurements can be inaccurate in early pregnancy. I am so relieved!

morningvenus · 10/09/2021 11:44

@lawandgin - Fantastic news!! so happy for you

lawandgin · 10/09/2021 11:46

Calbooo · 10/09/2021 13:31

@lawandgin so glad you saw the heartbeat! Congratulations 🥳 now time to relax till next sac. 😩
