Hey I'm only 10dpo but just got a faint positive 2 days ago and has been getting darker so hoping this is real. I calculated and I'm due June 1/2nd.

Anyone else due the same time as me? Want to hang out and keep me company I know it's early days.

@Prema11

Hey PeeAche, I probably would go and just take it easy. At this stage baby is so small and well protected that it can’t be hurt by bumps or squeezes. I was surfing in rough seas pregnant for a few days before I found out!
Thanks @Prema11. I am going but I think I'll give most of the attractions a miss. My anxiety is at such a level that I think I'll blame this (and myself) if I miscarry again.

I know there is no "normal" way to feel when you're pregnant after miscarriage but I am quite literally obsessing over it and nothing else. It's exhausting.

HopefulJ2018 · 14/10/2021 12:33

@PeeAche totally understand how you’re feeling, I had a miscarriage as well and I’m constantly worrying. Sending hugs

Hi ladies, I'm cautiously joining - I got a positive test result today after my third cycle of IVF!

I'm 4+1 today.

Congratulations @unknownscot!

Has anyone downloaded an app to track their pregnancy yet? I just downloaded ovia but wondered if there were any others people liked.

Skinnymuffins · 14/10/2021 14:14

@Tofu35 I downloaded that but I'm in the UK and some terms were clearly American which is fine but some things in terms of healthcare weren't relevant eg difference between US healthcare and NHS, just downloaded pregnancy+ and I'm loving the 3d photos it gives every week!

@PeeAche

I have tickets tomorrow for a "scare event" at a nearby farm. It's like a walk through thing with jostling and people jumping out at you etc. Usually you have to "squeeze" through inflatable tunnels and run a bit. It's not too strenuous but it is advised that it's not for preggos. Obviously, we've had the tickets for a while.

I miscarried last time and so this time I'm highly anxious.

Would you go?

I have tickets for this at the beginning of November. I will go but will try to keep it all calm.......
Prema11 · 14/10/2021 14:37

@HopefulJ2018 & @PeeAche I also totally understand, I miscarried twins at 8 & 10 weeks and I’m finding it hard to think about anything except praying this pregnancy makes it.

@unknownscot congratulations on your IVF pregnancy!! I also did IVF, how are you finding the progesterone?

makingamac · 14/10/2021 14:43

Hello, I'm cautiously joining this thread. Felt a bit different so took a test yesterday (8 days before period due) and it was positive. First pregnancy so a little nervous but was very happy as it's my 2nd cycle since my wedding. Has anyone every had a false positive before? Was digital and showed 1-2 weeks so basically I'm 3 weeks. My due date is 27th June if my calculations are correct. Getting lots of cramping down there so slightly worried about things but I'm mostly positive xxx

PeeAche · 14/10/2021 14:53

Congratulations @makingamac !

False positives aren't really a thing. Test again after missed period to be sure it isn't a "chemical".

@unknownscot congratulations to you too! It must be so exciting after IVF

Welcome everyone. I'm burping constantly and feeling nauseous. Feeling like this one could be my sticky. Hoping. Praying. Eating so clean that my body is in shock! Grin

PeeAche · 14/10/2021 14:54

Ps. I use both pregnancy plus for the 3Ds and articles and Ovia for the good calendar.

makingamac · 14/10/2021 14:57

Ooh @peeAche I'll download pregnancy plus. It's not even been 24 hours and I have downloaded so many apps! I'm getting quite a lot of symptoms already so hoping it's not chemical xx

Prema11 · 14/10/2021 14:58

Haha @PeeAche I’m burping loads too, it’s such a weird symptom but glad I’m not alone!!

Glenpatrick · 14/10/2021 15:01

Im 6.5wks now and just had to unbutton my jeans & belt after lunch, so happy to be WFH 😂😂 last time I remember the bloat being unreal and having to do the same and hid it with long tops. Am finding myself soooo hungry today just had to have to rolls for lunch so I don’t think it will be too long before the stretchy clothes are cracked out!

rathernotshare · 14/10/2021 15:04

Genuinely thinking of calling my GP to sign me off. The stress I am under is so intense and of course no one knows about pregnancy so I can't even offload to anyone 😡 just constantly crying!

Seabreeze2 · 14/10/2021 15:05

@makingamac I think it’s a good sign if you have symptoms already, try to relax! And congratulations 😁.

@PeeAche any healthy snack ideas you can share? I’m not really sure what my appetite is doing.

I’ve been getting lots of cramping since I tested positive and feel like my stomach is already bloated!

(Ps, I’ve changed my username from Coco90, in case anyone is interested where Coco90 has gone lol)

Xx

Seabreeze2 · 14/10/2021 15:07

@rathernotshare I hope you are okay 😞 really not fair or good for you if you are this stressed with work, it’ll probably be a good idea to have some time off and take care of yourself when your body needs it most (now) x

AmICrazy36 · 14/10/2021 15:10

Congratulations to all our new joins ❤️

makingamac · 14/10/2021 15:15

Thanks @seabreeze2 xxx

PeeAche · 14/10/2021 15:23

@Seabreeze2 - hummus. I'm eating so much hummus. Grin

Anyone else dealing with ongoing bouts of back pain? I'm 4w+4 and my lower back is very sore during different parts of the day. Always stresses me out. Anyone else?

Are you feeling like heavy aches in your back. Lower back is where mine are. Coupled with cramps. Xx
blueberryy · 14/10/2021 16:54

@111222xx yup - lower back. In the middle. No cramps really, just bad back pain.

I'm also waiting to hear on repeat hcg levels and keep staring at my phone. Why won't they callll 😅

They are really uncomfortable. Hope they pass soon. I am also extremely tired 😴. Aw I hope they call you soon! Xx

Tofu35 · 14/10/2021 17:36

What are team-nausea having for dinner tonight? I found a recipe for oven baked (so no food smells) risotto. Hoping it's plain enough for me!

JenniferR2021 · 14/10/2021 18:01
