Thread three 🙂

[quote MrsNT]@unknownscot. Yes me.. i get tummy aches and cramps some days and none some days. It does make me anxious

Ladies who have had their booking in and blood test appt..what were your haemoglobin amd red blood cells level? Mine were border line under.. like the haemoglobin was 113 whereas it starts from 115 upto cant remember upper limit
Midwife said its normal at this stage. Im not convinced[/quote]
My results from my booking in appt were available on my midwife app. The note said that they are all within normal range. I've copied it below, if it means anything (I don't understand all the abbreviations!?)

FBC - Hb: 13.5 g/dL, 135 g/L | FBC - WCC: 11.00 109 /L | Platelets: 220.00 109 /L, 220,000.00 10^6 /L | Haematocrit (HCt): 0.41(Not recorded) % | MCV:87.2 fL

@clomid1 i randomly found that. Ask your midwife if the hospital you are registered at have an online patient portal where you can view the test results . Its got all the results from whenever I had blood tests etc done at hospital in the past

@sunflower198

The number thats 135 on yours was 113 on mine ..so im defiantely low on iron. Ive contacted gp.lets see when they call back. Our gp surgery has a rubbish appt policy now. You need to fill out an online form and then you get a call within 24hrs

@MrsNT ah ok! Hopefully the GP can get you all sorted 🤞🏻I feel like I've got lucky with my latest GP - I registered a year ago and not used them until pregnancy but so far I've just emailed them any queries and they book me appts etc!
I thought I might be low on something as I was feeling really tired just before my booking in appt but I've felt much better since then.

@PeeAche 3 days, I managed to come home and go back to hydration suite when I feel I need it. I was doing so well then it all unraveled!

It really does knock the life out of you, im also 7lbs lighter but I'm on the chunky side anyway. How are you feeling now?

I had my bloods back today. They checked my ferritin as it was down at 10 in June and now 19. Not sure if that’s good or not.
I’m 9+3 today. Have my scan booked in for 1st December. It still hasn’t hit me that we’re actually pregnant. It sounds ridiculous, but I still can’t believe it! We have a 2 year old and tried for a good 1.5 year to fall pregnant with him. The sickness feeling is still there and my pelvis is really sore. I had awful pgp last time. I had hoped if I was to get it again then it would be in the new year, not at 8 weeks!!

I'm still spotting - all day when I wipe.
I had a scan last Thursday on epau and all was ok. I don't know if I should call them again or leave it?
I'm so anxious! I'm now 7+3. I thought trying to get pregnant was the hard part!

@DaimDillyDoo I'm doing okay. My nausea is getting a bit better in the evenings so I can shower then (hot showers trigger me) and I can usually eat a little.

You know those Jacob's cracker selection boxes? I've eaten 2 of them in the last week and a half. Just nibbling away.

I'm chunky too so I haven't minded shedding a few lbs. I have my early scan in 4 days and I'm praying this is my sticky one. As well as my sicky one. 😂

@PeeAche what meds did you get put on? Sending my love... HG is hell. Actual hell.

You've made me want jacobs crackers... I haven't got any so had to settle for a bag of mini cheddars I found at the back of the cupboard DP has been making me bottles of frozen water mixed with my favourite cordial. It lasts longer than ice lollies and really helps the sickness.

How far gone are you? I'm 10 + 2 today. If it's any reassurance apparently HG sufferers tend to have healthier pregnancies on average. Hope you stay hydrated and manage to keep the crackers down

@Imhereforthecake - I'm exactly the same as you! 7+2 and still spotting. Scan a week ago too! And all ok + heartbeat. They did give me progesterone pessaries.
Pretty sure he said only come back if the spotting turns into bleeding/red (it's only pink and brown still)

But it's been going on for so long now I don't know if I should call?

Is anyone getting acne 😫
I had acne treatment done about 4 yrs ago and was acne free mostly..would only get one or two in a month but it feels like its reversing now .

@beansprout55 sorry it's still going on for you too. They didn't give me anything when I went. Have you had your booking appointment with your midwife yet? I'm still waiting, or else I'd probably call them.

@MrsNT me! I was also on roacutane a few years ago so it’s a struggle having it come back. Seems to be on my chest, my back and face...fun time!xx

@Imhereforthecake I'm going to call for a scan today. Seems to be getting pinker 😕

@beansprout55 same here. Let me know how you get on

@Imhereforthecake @beansprout55 I have the same I'm 7 weeks now. Got a scan today and was all good, heartbeat and measurement. I've bled red then been wiping brown since (8 days now).

I was told everything is good though, they didn't seem concerned about brown blood just said it's unusual. so do you think you should worry if it's old blood? X

@beansprout55 @Imhereforthecake think calling for a scan is best to ease your worries. Hope you both get one quickly.

@CurryandSnuggle thinking of you today xx

@laurenGame really pleased to hear your scan was good!

@CurryandSnuggle thinking of you today

@laurenGame did you get any tissue or clots? I've been spotting for 2 weeks today, brown and hardly anything but has been pink for 2 days and I'm sure I saw the tiniest clot in my Pessary which fell out.
EPAU can't scan me until tomorrow morning, I've booked it but will call ARU when they open to see if they'll do me one sooner. x

I did see the heartbeat 10 days ago (when it was still just brown)

@CurryandSnuggle everything crossed for a positive outcome today. Thinking of you.

@beansprout55 no clots but still spotting 8 days later. For some reason I don't feel too worried. The blood is just spotting and it's v dark: clearly v old.
Maybe the scan gave a lot of reassurance - I thought after hearing a heartbeat it's a tiny chance of miscarriage?
I am all happy and excited again today, maybe too soon but deep down I'm kind of fed up fo worrying about this..🤭

Are you more worried today because colour has changed? Tomorrow morning is not far off, imagine they would say in a week like the told me last week. Hopefully it is nothing to worry about , I do strongly believe once there's a heartbeat then it's a huge milestone🙏🏻

@beansprout55 @laurenGame
I'm currently waiting for a scan at EPU.
Mine was spotting pink, tailed off then went brown then came back red. It's so stressful.
I'm hoping that the scan showing a heartbeat is a good sign.
I just worry where the blood is coming from??

@laurenGame thanks, and super happy for your positive result! I'm anxious that it's pink now. I didn't mind the brown as you say it's old blood. It's the fact it's changed. The tiny red clot in my pessary has sent my anxiety through the roof!!

He did say once you detect a heartbeat your chance of MC drops to 1/20 - I don't know if that's true but It's what I'm holding on to x

@Imhereforthecake let us know your results when you can! Praying.
Remind me again what your spotting is like and how long for? X
