I got a lovely dye stealer this morning and I am so chuffed! After a CP in July, seeing that beautiful first line so dark is giving me great hope.

Anyone else 5 weeks? How are you feeling? Flowers

What was inverted??

SkaterChick · 07/10/2021 12:25

... it's got heavier again and it's reddish this time. Like it's soaked through my knickers and started seeping into my work trousers but thankfully I caught it before it's noticeable. I now just want to get the fu*k out of here. I'm so anxious right now.

xxcharlottexx91 · 07/10/2021 12:35

Ok thank you so much for your help I really appreciate it.

Snoopy28x · 07/10/2021 12:42

@SkaterChick oh I'm sorry that sounds horrible! Can you make your excuses and leave for the day?? Sickness bug?? Maybe you can ring 111 and explain the situation. See if they can help in anyway? Xx

Hyggeandhugs · 07/10/2021 12:56

@SkaterChick legally your employer has to let you leave for antenatal related appointments, including emergencies. I hope your GP or 111 can get you in for an earlier scan, I mean you're only a couple of days off of 6 weeks. We're all rooting for you xx

SkaterChick · 07/10/2021 13:02

My employer doesn't know I'm pregnant and I'm not ready to tell them.
I'm trying to think of an excuse to leave but I've kind of shut down if you get me. My brain is struggling to focus. Maybe I'll say I have a migraine

xxcharlottexx91 · 07/10/2021 13:18

Am not at work I am at home I rang epau they rnt interested unless I am changing a soaked pad every hour.

Snoopy28x · 07/10/2021 13:29

@SkaterChick just say you've got a tummy bug. They cant keep you around food then xx

SkaterChick · 07/10/2021 14:14

I am home now, my partner's at work but in keeping him updated.
I've changed and fresh pants, panty liner etc so I can carry on monitoring it. I'm going to try calling the maternity referral shortly, I'm just trying to get on the website but it won't load at the moment

SkaterChick · 07/10/2021 14:33

I just rechecked my dates and looks like I had spotting on Thurs 26 aug and then full period by the Friday morning so I'm pretty much 6 weeks ( I thought it was the sat/sun not Thur/Fri so I'm going to call my gp in a mo

babyboybluex · 07/10/2021 15:05

@SkaterChick Glad you have taken a step back from work, it has to be done for your own health/state of mind. That food all sounds delicious!! I would find it hard to not eat it all haha…

I had some constipation around 6 weeks but I’m now ok, I’m sure that will change again though!!

100% get out of work and get yourself home sweetheart - you need to be surrounded by home comforts. Try and speak to someone, even if it’s the EPU and push to be seen. Say you are 6 weeks and they will have you in. Sending you a hand hold and we are all here for you!! Flowers

@xxcharlottexx91 So sorry to hear about this. Have you phoned for some advice? You could phone your local GP and see if they can put you to the community midwife? Big hug!

@Hyggeandhugs Are you ok? Have they ruled out the eptopic yet? Sending hugs your way.

@babyboybluex thank you 💜 I called my go and they've have asked me to come straight in

xxcharlottexx91 · 07/10/2021 15:15

@babyboybluex I rang the hosp they dint really say alot tbh to call back if I am soaking a pad every hour that was all. Tbh I think I've lost the baby I did a test and the line is very faint now so I've kinda lost hope :(

Snoopy28x · 07/10/2021 15:29

@SkaterChick I am so pleased your gp is seeing you! That's such a relief. Do keep us posted wont you xx

Snoopy28x · 07/10/2021 15:31

@xxcharlottexx91 I am so sorry 😔 I've gone through 3 losses, so I know how your feeling, in limbo not sure what's really going on. Sending you lots of hugs. Be kind to yourself, rest up and see how things go in the next few days xxx

xxcharlottexx91 · 07/10/2021 15:39

@Snoopy28x Thank you. This is only my 2nd pregnancy my first went really well really good fast labour so I wasn't expecting this at all. Unfortunately it's obv not ment to be.

babyboybluex · 07/10/2021 15:48

@xxcharlottexx91 I am really sorry to read this. Please look after yourself and take all the time you need Flowers A loss is really hard, no matter what stage and you will feel numb for a while - sending a huge hand hold your way. We are always here for a chat, any time.

@SkaterChick Let us know how you get on. I'm so glad your GP is seeing you as I know some are restricting who they see! Keep calm and positive thoughts!

@xxcharlottexx91 I'm so sorry to read this. Sending lots of love your way. Get lots of rest and look after yourself

SkaterChick · 07/10/2021 16:07

Back from the GP. the preg test they did was very very faint (They let me see it) so they think I'm miscarrying. The epu was closed so they're going to call them first thing to refer me but they may decline to see me.
I need right before they called and asked me to go in so I was wondering if the levels might be low cause of that but idk. I'm sad and just going to curl up with the cats and watch trashy TV until the dude gets home. I've hated having to tell him all this via text

xxcharlottexx91 · 07/10/2021 16:07

Thank you everyone I really appreciate it. Xx

Snoopy28x · 07/10/2021 16:09

@xxcharlottexx91 yes I know. My first was easy, no complications, easy labour and birth, it never crossed my mind anything bad could happen. Then 2nd pregnancy I mc at 11 weeks. Was like being hit by a ton of bricks. Next pregnancy was successful, however I was terrified the whole time. I've had 2 further mc since again all at 11 weeks. So until I get to that 12 week scan I cant get my Hope's up as I know it can go either way. I think DH doesn't really get attached until the scan.

But honestly be easy on yourself xxx

xxcharlottexx91 · 07/10/2021 16:20

@Snoopy28x Am really sorry to hear all that you have been through must have been soo difficult has anyone been able to shed any light why this keeps happening at 11 weeks?? I think its the not knowing why that plays on ur mind and as a women u have all the responsibility cus its u carrying the child.

LadyoftheWoods · 07/10/2021 16:20

Oh @SkaterChick! I've just read your updates! I'm so so sorry, that's just awful! Whenever I'm sad I just watch loads of Taskmaster with my two cats so I think you've got a good plan there xx

Snoopy28x · 07/10/2021 16:24

@xxcharlottexx91 well they said if I wanted to bring in the .. shall we say products of conception for them to test. However I was actually away for the weekend when it happened and I just wanted to move on from it. We weren't planning on having anymore.. yet here we are! They dont tend to do anything until after your 3rd. Which I find shocking! Xx

Snoopy28x · 07/10/2021 16:25

@SkaterChick I am so sorry. It's such a sad day today! Be kind to yourself.. cry when you need to. Let yourself heal. Remember its nothing you've done and when you feel ready you can try again xxx
