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.

Yea, echoing others... We've told our close family and friends. For us, we're not sure why we wouldn't tell people as if the worst happens (and it has 3 times), these are the people we need around us.

I finally know what 'darker areolas' means from pregnancy symptoms blogs. Never been so excited to see these tonight 🤣🤣 xx

@hasbean7 the important thing is that you've found something you can eat. If it's just carbs while you're feeling nauseous, then carbs it shall be! Let's get through these early weeks then we can all have a healthy eating kick later on!

@HasBean7 & @Tofu35 - so glad I'm not the only one. Think it must just be pregnancy then, just feel like I've been run over by a bus today. The thirst is INSANE. I'm really hoping there's some relief from this in T2 before baby gets really big!!

I'm also definitely over eating. I bought tiny bananas and clementines in the hope that'd be a healthier option. Not sure the sugar is all that good but the fibre sure is!

Decided to tell my parents this morning, so they'd understand why I was being so unenthusiastic and sleepy, it has really taken the pressure off. Definitely was right to tell them, plus as others have said, they'll be part of our support system if things don't go to plan.

[quote Skinnymuffins]@HopefulJ2018 I'm only 6+4 but we've told my mum and MIL because if the worst were to happen, they'd be the people we may lean on for support anyway 😬[/quote]
I’ve told my mum but my hubby wants to wait until our early scan on the 27th at 8wks to tell his family. Those days are going to go so slow x

Skinnymuffins · 16/10/2021 23:34

@HopefulJ2018 aww lovely you've told your mum. I know I'm waiting for a scan at 7 weeks which is Tuesday and this 2 week wait has draaaaagged. Good luck on yours ☺️

Yes to the (TMI) loose stools! And strong stomach cramps showing I need to go asap - I'm so glad I WFH now because that would be a struggle! No nausea so far touch wood. I am dreading that!

Feeling gassy and bloated today though. Which I'm taking as a good sign after my MC.

makingamac · 17/10/2021 08:54

I feel so irritable, I hate it! I feel like this when I'm due my period for a day or two most months and it's the worst symptoms for me, I feel really mean lol. Hope this doesn't last too long 😣

CurryandSnuggle · 17/10/2021 09:02

@Prema11 thank you for the reassurance, I really appreciate it. Flowers

Willow1981 · 17/10/2021 09:07

Glad it is not just me rushing to the loo! Thanks all.

girlmummy25 · 17/10/2021 09:54

Im 5 weeks and yesterday had red blood when I wiped, more than spotting. Was there for about 3 wipes & I was sure it was miscarriage but has stopped since then.

I dont know what to think. Going to ring my GP tomorrow and try and get an appointment at the early pregnancy unit.
Im gutted but trying to half tell myself all could be ok but half dont want to get my hopes up.

Anyone here had a scan at exactly 6 weeks and seen heartbeat? Im tempted to do that but worried it might be too early to see heartbeat and then that will freak me out too. So confused.

TTCjourney2021 · 17/10/2021 10:54

When did people get their 2-3 and 3+ on digitalis? For those that have taken them? I tested this morning and got a 2-3 weeks at 4+6 does this sound about right? X

Skinnymuffins · 17/10/2021 11:12

@girlmummy25 I had the same from about 4+3 to 5+2 mainly when I had a bowel movement though. As a result I got scanned but was only about 5/5+3 and they couldn't see a heartbeat yet... So they've booked me in for a scan on Tuesday where they think I'll be about 7 weeks.

They did say that it's quite common, I think they're only being extra cautious as I'm over 35 (39) but they were very reassuring. Fingers crossed I see a heartbeat on Tuesday 🤞

I'm avoiding these for anxiety purposes xx
Bridgey8 · 17/10/2021 12:03

@TTCjourney2021 I got a 3+ this morn... I am 6+1. I hadn't tested for a couple of weeks but had a sped of blood when I wiped last night so was anxious!

Clomid1 · 17/10/2021 12:06

@Rachae I’m doing the same. Tbh when I did it the first time I was pregnant I got my 2-3 and then 1 week later my 3+ and then I miscarried 2 days later so I don’t think I am going to bother this time. I haven’t even done a digital test. Just relying on my cheap easy at homes 😅😂

TTCjourney2021 · 17/10/2021 12:13

I wish I had the willpower to put them down haha!!! I've never progressed past 1-2 weeks before so I'm taking this and running 🏃‍♀️ 🤞

JenniferR2021 · 17/10/2021 12:15

I'm constantly testing last 2 pregnancies I didn't but this time round I'm nervous n think something will go wrong

TTCjourney2021 · 17/10/2021 12:22

@JenniferR2021 me too! Exactly this!

JenniferR2021 · 17/10/2021 12:38

@TTCjourney2021 how far along are u

Aww yea, sorry to hear about your mc. I've been there x I just figure might as well not know and if it happens... It's going to happen anyway? May as well not have to wait around for a week knowing! (Same attitude now about early scans, just not going there!) xx

BellatrixK · 17/10/2021 13:02

@TTCjourney2021 I did one at 4+3 and got 1-2 weeks. After a morning of crying and anxiety, I’ve decided that everything seems fine, I had strong early tests, so I’m remaining hopeful.

I’m now not testing again!

TTCjourney2021 · 17/10/2021 13:02

@JenniferR2021 I'm 4+6, what about you?
@Rachae I have to be scanned at 6 weeks, due to historic ectopic! So I guess I'll know either way in a weeks time x

JenniferR2021 · 17/10/2021 13:03

5 + 5 days 😀

Rachae · 17/10/2021 13:11

@TTCjourney2021 ahh I see, sending you lots of positive thoughts for the scan xx

whataglouriousthingtobe · 17/10/2021 13:11

I've only done three tests over a couple of days when I first found out and had to stop myself from buying anymore as I know all it will do is feed my anxiety! I'm anxious enough symptom spotting as it is so if I added in lines to compare it would tip me over the edge ! 5+3 and a nervous wreck.
