Anyone else 5 weeks pregnant?

[babyboybluex]

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?

@Blondiebrownie6 I feel so very sick today!!! I'm the green emoji face lol well DH went to get his hair cut with dd and came back and announced he is off out on his best friends boat for the afternoom/evening. Queue hormonal strop! Hes been saying I've had 3 nights off this week.. which were studying..! Not the same as a child free afternoon drinking sailing down the river!!! He said he wouldnt go but I said just go! Whatever. Lol I'm not fussed about the going out so much as it's like middle of the afternoon and I feel sick and tired and just dont want to move lol gonna go out to the park with my sister and wear them out.

Yeah my immune system seems to fight off everything that comes back from school or pre school luckily. So fingers crossed.

Ooh that sounds delicious!!! I had greasy bacon sarnie this morning. I fancy savoury salty stuff.

Yeah evening courses are alot arent they. Last night was to much, she started going over stuff from the previous course plus more stuff. Now my brain has to remember old stuff and learn new stuff.. in 2 weeks!!! With baby brain haha

Enjoy your early night! Xx

Oh wow I didn’t even think about caffeine @charlotte0808 were you drinking quite a bit then? How have your symptoms been?

@Snoopy28x I’d be raging to if OH suddenly sprung it on me last minute that he was going out , did he go out !? Yer studying is hardly a night off 🙄 my OH likes to say that ‘I’m off work’ when I WFH and I’m like errrmmm no I’m still work solid I just happen to be in the house! Ggrrrr!

Sounds like you have your hands full with college , haha and with baby brain….not fun!! Bacon sandwich is probs on the list here for the morning, yum! I ended up with cheesy pasta again tonight 🤦🏼‍♀️ Really not helping with the bloat! How’s your sickness been? My evening alone has been overtaken by my own mind….emotional wreck, hormones? Think I’m going to need to book
Another early scan , my symptoms don’t feel as strong today and it’s freaking me out although I know they can come and go! X

Sorry for going off radar, having a rough ride with sickness and migraine/sinus type headaches. Taking ondansetron and metaclopramide and it’s just about holding me at the moment but the sickness hits full force if I miss a dose.

I’m 7+5 now, my pregnancy is nolonger a secret amongst friends, family and colleagues due to the sickness and having to cancel on people. News seems to have spread on our social grapevine. I think rumour started when I went to a wedding and didn’t drink plus left early, as old friends are now contacting me to ask if it’s true!

Also my 6 year old announced to his class his mummy’s pregnant. So now I suspect half the mums want to ask me if it’s true but daren’t in case mine/their kids got muddled up!

How’s everyone else doing? ❤️

Sorry you’re having a rough time @FateHasRedesignedMost
I’m still suffering with sickness too - on ondansetron and stemitil. Thankfully it stops the vomiting in the mornings but the nausea still lingers. Forgot how hard the first trimester is!

Sorry you’re having a rough time with sickness too! Glad you’ve got some meds.

Mornings are my best time of day once the sickness of the early hours passes. But by 2pm I feel increasingly worse and just want to sleep through it.

Okay, let's try this again and apparently there was an error first time I posted!

@Snoopy28x I am really fucking confused.
As per my drs instructions I took a preg test this morning.. and it's glaringly positive, lines came up immediately. Weird as the two in the drs surgery were virtually non existent lines (today's was first morning wee and drs was whatever I squeezed out after a recent wee so maybe that's why?)
So I'm gonna have to go for this scan tomorrow and find out wtf is going on.
I was fully expecting the test to be 100% negative this morning and start putting it all behind me and now I don't really know what to think.

I also don't know what to tell me employer. They think I've been off with a migraine (Thursday afternoon and Friday).
My actual manager is on holidays and not contactable so I'm dealing with my line manager. They have no idea I've been trying to get pregnant.
So I'm stuck between continue the migraine line and say I need to go for a test or just tell my line manager whays been going on.
I dunno if I have to go to the hospital for some tests ia too vague, if they'll ask what it's for?

Forgot to attach test pic... I think this is even clearer that my last test before all this started!

That is such a clear positive! Really hope it's good news!

If it was me, but of course it's not, I'd tell my manager. It means you get the support from work you need without having to lie about being ill. I had to tell my manager earlier than I wanted to in my first pregnancy and it was so much easier! I got time off for scans/appointments without using sick leave. It also meant if I felt sick at work I didn't have to make something up. But I completely get it if you don't want to!

I'm 5+2 today I think. I don't really have many symptoms at the moment which is worrying me a bit. My boobs are a bit sore but that's it! I was out clubbing last night (obvs not drinking!) so I'm hardly tired! I don't feel sick either. I'm hoping maybe they'll come about 6 weeks which is when Google says they often kick in. I might regret wishing for that though!

I've just told her that I'm still not well and ds are sending me for some tests tomorrow so I wouldn't be in. Im not in the mood to get into it via text or phone with her today (the line manager doesn't like me very much, long story but basically she did something transphobic, I called her out on it and now she doesn't like me 🤷‍♀️)

@Blondiebrownie6

@Blondiebrownie6 makes me feel better it's not just me being unreasonable lol yeah he went out but was back home by 10. Kept sending me love you messages while he was out 😂 I had a nice evening, watched christmas Chronicles with the kids. Got them to bed then binge watched good girls on netflix!

Sorry your feeling a bit emotional about things. I totally get you. I woke up this morning and I'm like sore nipples.. check. Then thought hmm I dont feel sick.. then start to worry. However just got up and drank a glass of apple juice and now feel queasy. I think the symptoms do come and go, which makes it all more of a worry.

Will you book a scan? I have my booking app on Thursday, I hope she tells me my scan date then and I dont have to wait for it to be posted. Last pregnancy (earlier in the year) it was decided I'd have extra growth scans as ds was a whopping 10lb 3oz.. ! Which was a shock to us all, they estimated 8lbs 5oz! Plus she may refer me to the consultant due to previous mc history. So may be spending alot of time at appointments.

How are you feeling about it all today? Xx

@SkaterChick oooh well that is promising!! That is a super clear positive! I will keep everything crossed for you!! I know of friends that had bleeding the whole pregnancy, so I know it is possible and that everything can be fine still. Xxx

@Snoopy28x I'm honestly so confused and I don't want to get my hopes up. I'd rather expect the worst and continue to believe I'm miscarrying, I think it'll be easier if tomorrow outcome isn't positive. I have no idea what is going to happen. I've been feeling nauseas again, but this could be because I'm so very anxious. I'm trying not to stress but it's hard. My boobs are also still extra sore.
My partner is coming with me, he also wasn't expecting such a positive test so is just as confused and emotionally up and down.
Another sofa and chill day for us.

Hope everyone is having lovely weekends And feeling okay.

@LadyoftheWoods ive had lots of friends say it comes and goes, and don't forget a lot of people don't get symptoms early on at all so try not to worry at the lack of 'symptoms' 💜

@SkaterChick yeah I get that. Are you still bleeding? Take it easy today and just take tomorrow as it comes. I'm glad your partner will be there with you xx

@Snoopy28x yup still bleeding, cramping had calmed down though. Bleeding seems to be much the same, no better or worse.

How're you doing today? Hope you're having a food weekend xx

Haha @Snoopy28x well 10 isn’t too bad I guess, he knew not to push it lol! Ooo not heard of good girls I’ll need to check it out, I started watching ‘Maid’ and it was great!

Oh my 10.3 😳 , well at least if they do refer you for both you’ll be under a watchful eye with extra care which must be reassuring. They may refer you for one before 12 wks too because of previous MC? That’s a relief symptoms are there still :) my boobs are Defos sore af!
Ermmm I’m not sure , I feel on edge still , the sickness isn’t there today I don’t think. Feel a bit groggy and tired but no heaving. I have initial midwife appt tamoz morning just a 30 min phone call before f2f later in week, so I’ll probs speak to her then and just let her know my worries but reckon we’ll need to book privately (which is totally fine given I’ve already had 1 early one) I’m gonna try hold off for a few days and see how I go. I also think because it’s baby loss awareness week I keep seeing posts and stories about it online and that’s possibly heightening my emotions with my last loss :/

That’s a very positive test @SkaterChick, keeping everything crossed for you for
Tomorrow! You’ll be going through all kinds of emotions I’m sure :( glad you’ve managed to keep off of work!

@LadyoftheWoods could still be early for symptoms , I didn’t really feel much until 6/7 wks, but as others have said, everyone is different , some get none others get them all! Enjoy feeling ‘normal’ while you do :)

Sorry to hear you’re having a rough ride @FateHasRedesignedMost must be tough! Oh wow, news really does spread quick doesn’t it! It’s funny how some people just pick up on these things easily. At least now you can easily get out of events lol :) has the medication been helpful? X

Yep.. 10.3 😳 with no pain relief 😬 my babies like to make quick appearances. I went from 3cm to pushing in 5mins much to the midwifes surprise! He then decided to come out with his hand against his face.. so had to go back in! I still remember the trauma like it was yesterday lol!!

I'm feeling super super emotional today! Our fridge freezer has packed up, dont really have the spare cash right now to get a repair man out, it's an integrated one to so not easy to access. Which then got me all emotional, just need a cuppa lol managed to find a cheap one to use for now then can get the other one fixed next week. 😒 so had to chuck out all the food because it had gone all warm. Luckily we have a big chest freezer to. Just inconvenient. Then dd is finding reception class a big change so gets clingy at drop off. So have that drama every morning. I keep waking up for a wee then cant get Bck to sleep! Like insomnia. Anyone else have that?? Feel like I've been awake all night.

Sorry glass half full today lol

How is everyone doing?

@SkaterChick how did your scan go today? Xxx

@Snoopy28x I'm the same- I wake up about 3am for a wee then I'm awake for at least an hour! So annoying!

After complaining about not having symptoms I've now started feeling sick. Typical!

Hope you're ok @SkaterChick x

Hey everyone,
So scan didn't show anything in the womb but something by my left ovary which maybe an eptopic. It's only suspected but they have to treat it as such until proven other wise.
They took bloods and I'll be taken to the ward shortly, I'll then be seen by a Dr who will feel my tummy and stuff.
They said it's most likely I'll have to come back in 48hrs for a second blood tests they'll then see if the hcg levels are going up or down. If down then deffo miscarriage if up then maybe it's not far enough along for anything to be detected on a scan. So still no actual answer

Hi @SkaterChick definitely thinking of you today. What a shitty situation for you and can't imagine what it must be doing to your head. Sending lots of love. Good luck

SkaterChick

Sorry you’re going through such a horrible time! Have you other symptoms of ectopic (shoulder pain, dizziness, pain worse on one side of abdomen?)

Do you know roughly how far along you are?

I ask because my first was deemed ‘likely to be ectopic’ and I was admitted for a week. They did repeat HCG tests, kept me NBM ready for theatre and kept scanning me, but it was too early to see anything. Eventually the pain subsided and my HCG rose by 2 points, just enough for it to be considered viable, and the free fluid by my ovary was apparently from a ruptured endometrioma cyst. Turned out I was very early in the pregnancy and scans a week later revealed yoke sac in womb, then 2 weeks after that the heartbeat etc. My son is now 6 years old but they seemed sure he was ectopic at the start!

Really hope you have a good result. Hugs x

Insomnia is awful isn’t it. I wake at 2:30am on the dot and can’t go back to sleep because I feel so sick. So I creep downstairs in my fleece robe and sit on the sofa drinking tea while the ondansetron and metaclopramide start working. By the time the sickness improves my son’s up and about wanting breakfast (used to be 5am, now he’s up at 4:30 for some reason!)

No idea why it’s a 2:30am start but it’s been that way since the start of this pregnancy!

@FateHasRedesignedMost no other symptoms, I've been cramping on and off since before I found out I was pregnant. They're same as period pains really and have been left sided (which is the side in question) however my period painds are usually left sided and I suffer from ovulation cysts which are worse on the left side. 🤷‍♀️

So basically I have to go back in 48hrs and see what the hormone's have done.
If they've stayed the same then there is prob eptopic that isn't growing but may need intervention.
If they've dropped then it's just a miscarriage.

If by some miracle theyve increased then it may be viable but early. I felt like they were just saying this as they had to and because I don't have regular cycles.
I'm not banking on this though as although my boobs are still sore my nause has calmed right down and maybe just cause I'm anxious now.
Plus due to work and life we haven't dtd since 22nd October. Plus I got a fsint line on an opk the week before so we are loads that week to cover us. I ran out of opks so didn't bother tracking it further.

@SkaterChick so sorry to hear of your situation :( what a horrible limbo stage for you to be in. Be kind to yourself xx

Omg @Snoopy28x and no pain relief , I was sat here last night thinking I wonder if she pushed or c section lol! Thanks god for a quick labour! I’ve not even given labour too much thought, when I do think about it it it sends me into a state of panic haha. I’ve got a while yet 🤣

Sounds like emotional side is out in all of us lol! Although with good reason with something like that happening to you 😩 just an expense and inconvenience that’s not needed right now ! Hopefully Ds settles soon and your mornings become less stressful! My tiredness has really hit today, stepped away from laptop and sat down at 4 on the sofa for a second and woke up at 5.30…ooopsss! Feeling queasy again today so somethings going on in there!

Feel for you ladies with insomnia , I had it the first few weeks but it’s eased now , hoping it gets better for yous soon and the sickness gets better soon @FateHasRedesignedMost
