I donโ€™t know when Iโ€™m due, Iโ€™ve not had a period since DS was born but I got 1-2 weeks on a Clearblue digi this morning which puts me sometime late October or early November (I think!)
Feels like Iโ€™m too far behind the October group but too early for a November oneโ€ฆ anyone due a similar time and want to join me? Would love to have some company ๐Ÿ˜Š

Thanks everyone ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’—

@lilyj13 so according to the day I ovulated I was 6 weeks 3 days and then from my last period 6 weeks 5 days so it was smack bang in the middle of the two estimates haha! Best of luck for yours! Not long now ๐Ÿฅฐ

lilyj13 · 07/03/2022 13:41

@Annny27 Wednesday feels like forever away. I'm impatient ๐Ÿ˜‚ I think it's a days difference from when I ovulated and then from my last period so nothing really in it, prob like you a couple of days. Im hoping I'm over the 6 week mark then can relax the this time I was lucky with no hyperemisis xx

@Annny27 congratulations!! Lovely pic.

So after a great weekend seeing the heartbeat started this week with my son testing positive for COVID! Not what I wanted at 6 weeks pregnantโ€ฆ. So far Iโ€™m negative on lateral flow but have a sore throat and feel congested so feel like itโ€™s coming!

Mochii · 07/03/2022 15:35

Has anyone had a scan at exactly 6 weeks?

TheBirdintheCave · 07/03/2022 15:49

@mochii Yes but only accidentally. I thought I was 7 weeks with my son so had a private scan there but they said I was 6 weeks (I forgot to account for my late ovulation). We still saw his little heart beat so it was fine, it just had me very scared for a long time afterwards until I realised I'd messed the dates up.

Mochii · 07/03/2022 15:53

Iโ€™ve decided I might go for one just to check if there is anything at all. Pretty sure there wonโ€™t be a heartbeat yet but if there is that will be a bonus!

Hjklasdfg · 07/03/2022 16:11

Hey everyone โ˜บ๏ธ

We had our early scan today and was such an emotional experience, saw the little heartbeat beating away ๐Ÿฅฐ exactly 7 weeks as I thought. If anyones thinking of having one I recommend it as my anxiety levels have reduced heavily. Still anxious but more excited now โ˜บ๏ธ Was a teeny tiny blob.

DM1720 · 07/03/2022 18:33

@Hjklasdfg thatโ€™s amazing! Congrats! Itโ€™s such a relief to see that heartbeat!

DM1720 · 07/03/2022 19:22

So my dr just got back with my hcg levelsโ€ฆ. they are 17,871. Iโ€™m 5 weeks and 3 days. Max!! This sounds extremely high! Of course Iโ€™ve googled it and high hcg can be a bad sign! Iโ€™m a bit freaked out.
Heโ€™s brought my scan forward to Friday anyway so hopefully all will be ok and itโ€™s good I donโ€™t have to wait until next week for my first scan!

Hjklasdfg · 07/03/2022 19:22

@DM1720 thank you so much ๐Ÿฅฐ my husband cried when he saw the little heartbeat. I think cos weโ€™ve been trying so long itโ€™s been such an emotional day!

Hjklasdfg · 07/03/2022 19:23

@DM1720 sending you all the positive vibes for your scan on Friday really hope everything goes okay ๐Ÿ’•

ThinkingDifferent · 08/03/2022 10:01

Congratulations @Annny27 & @Hjklasdfg

Annny27 · 08/03/2022 12:20

Thanks everybody! How's everyone else getting on?

I am REALLY struggling with eating anything in the mornings and them come afternoon I am starving but don't know what for haha

Lovely news @Hjklasdfg :)๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’—

@dm1720 high hcg can be totally normal:) as you feeling sick? The higher the hcg the more sickness apparently

@bringonbaby3 ahhh thats a worry!! I think I said on this thread before thT my friend got covid at 5 weeks and is now 25 weeks so all went well with her it just sucks having double pregnancy and covid symptoms!

Raindrops2015 · 08/03/2022 13:43

I had a scan today. Was told I was 6 week 0. Heartbeat was 125bpm. Is this a little fast. Also, CRL measurements were 4.8mm. Midwife was really positive about it. Is it OK to be optimistic now? Have had a recent bad experience in the US room.

Also, morning sickness has kicked in. Bring it on!

DM1720 · 08/03/2022 14:06

@Raindrops2015 I donโ€™t know anything about the measurements. How far along are you in weeks and days? If midwife was happy about it, then Iโ€™m sure you should be too! Does a faster heart rate mean girl/boy?! I think Iโ€™ve heard that somewhere.

@Annny27 thanks. Yes Iโ€™ve read mixed things about having high hcg. It definitely seems a little high. Though Iโ€™ll know more tomorrow when I get second bloods done. 5 weeks itโ€™s meant to be max 7000 to be normal. But by 6 weeks 56000 is normal so Iโ€™m somewhere in between this at 17871. Iโ€™m a bit worried but trying to focus on the positive. Iโ€™m not very sick at all but def have some symptoms kicking in, tiredness and sore boobs mainly, a little nausea/food eversions.

Raindrops2015 · 08/03/2022 14:12

@DM1720 my own dates would be 6 w 0 or 6 w 1.

AbbiL0u · 08/03/2022 19:19

Hello! I am around 6 weeks pregnant so will be due around end of October/beginning of November - my main symptoms seem to be fatigue and cramping. So sorry to hear of the difficulties stories in the thread - lots of love to you all!

This is my first pregnancy and Iโ€™ve had a really worrying experience today at the shop - my trolley got jammed on something in the car park and the handle rammed in to my stomach. I am really worried and didnโ€™t know who to speak to, does anyone have any tips for the early pregnancy anxiety? I understand my story is probably a little niche! X

lilyj13 · 08/03/2022 19:46

@AbbiL0u

Your hormones are flying everywhere at the min, try not to worry or panic. Relax take a bath and drink some camomile tea. Stay off Google and watch some tele, take your mind off it. I strongly believe what's meant to be is meant to be know matter how much you try and change anything or worry about anything.
If you have any concerns, you will always have your mid wife, doctors and hospital close by.

Hope that helps ๐Ÿฅฐ

AbbiL0u · 08/03/2022 19:52

Thank you very much, thatโ€™s really kind of you and some good advice! :)

Annny27 · 08/03/2022 20:20

@abbiL0u baby is watching back in your pelvis so no concerns. Plus when they do your ultrasound they DIG in so if they aren't concerned during that that I think its okay ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’—

73nat · 08/03/2022 20:41

Congratulations @AbbiL0u โค๏ธ

Annny27 · 08/03/2022 20:45

Way back in pelvis* not watching ๐Ÿ™ˆ

AbbiL0u · 08/03/2022 20:52

@Annny27 watching the pelvis sounded reassuring too! Thank you so much, I really do feel loads better now :)

@73nat Thank you!

I hope youโ€™re both okay :) x
