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

@thebirdinthecave Totally understand, I hated waiting the 2 weeks and then more for things to actually happen. Its a cruel waiting game :(:(

DM1720 · 15/03/2022 21:37

@TheBirdintheCave sorry to hear you didnโ€™t get on so well. I do think 6 weeks is so early though, and if youโ€™re just 6 weeks thereโ€™s a good chance the fetal pole wouldnโ€™t be visible. Just thinking re the sac size, could she have been talking about the yolk sac being 5mm?
Usually if they are concerned they will let you know so as not to have your hopes too high! Is there any way you could call back and ask to be seen again in a week or 10 days? Youโ€™re right, 2 weeks is an awful long wait!

TheBirdintheCave · 15/03/2022 21:59

@DM1720 I did wonder that but Iโ€™m pretty sure she was talking about the pregnancy sac itself as she was saying something like โ€˜If it was 25mm and there was no embryo then Iโ€™d be concerned but it all measures correctly for the size that it isโ€™ (as in yolk sac and โ€˜embryoโ€™ are the right size for a 5mm pregnancy sac). I think Iโ€™ll just have to wait the 14 days. At least I donโ€™t need to worry about bleeding anymore as I know thereโ€™s nothing there to lose.

Hey everyone,

Iโ€™ve been finding it hard to navigate mumsnet recently, it seems to crash a lot for me so I have made a Facebook group. Hereโ€™s the link: fb.me/g/1KUenULnt/aYqaAEam
Itโ€™s valid for two days I believe but just nudge me for another link or private message me and Iโ€™ll send you another link. If anyone wants to also be admin please let me know, hopefully for those who would rather use Facebook it will be a helpful source โ˜บ๏ธ๐Ÿ’•

Annny27 · 16/03/2022 07:39

@Hjklasdfg the link doesn't work for me

I dont think I will join a fb group anyway as prefer to keep anon so I will still be in here chatting for those who wish to stay in mumsnet :)

Hjklasdfg · 16/03/2022 07:46

@Annny27 I was going to say Iโ€™ll send another but if you donโ€™t want to join thatโ€™s okay โ˜บ๏ธ I know some people do prefer to stay anonymous so no pressure on anyone to join x

Annny27 · 16/03/2022 07:54

@hjklasdfg I might join so send the link and everyone else can see it too :D

How's everyone feeling this morning? I wake up with a really stuffy nose these daya

misslahx · 16/03/2022 08:26

I have requested to joinโ˜บ๏ธ I like the fact it is a hidden group so people won't see that you are in it, as I haven't announced my news yet- waiting for 12 weeks.

It seems to be that my morning sickness has gone but I still get it throughout the day , just not as soon as I wake up. Boobs are still very much sore and eating everything and anything I can ๐Ÿคฃ

Hjklasdfg · 16/03/2022 08:35

@Annny27 it wonโ€™t give me a new link yet but I have changed the settings so anyone in the group can share the link now should make it easier I hope โ˜บ๏ธ
Yeah I have been too but just put it down to the cold. Iโ€™m still exhausted and seem to get like extreme hunger lol goes away as soon as I eat though. My other symptoms have settled a bit though! Have you had any other symptoms?

@misslahx have just accepted โ˜บ๏ธ Yeah Iโ€™m part of the other October group and thought itโ€™s best for it to be private and hidden so no one else can see it on your friends list etc. Omg how did I forget about the sensitive boobs ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ Itโ€™s like another level!

misslahx · 16/03/2022 08:38

@Annny27 here you go x

misslahx · 16/03/2022 08:39

@Hjklasdfg I'll be an admin in the group if you like x

Annny27 · 16/03/2022 08:45

It must be my fb app it just opens fb and nothing happens. What's the name of the group so I can search for it or is it unsearchable?

misslahx · 16/03/2022 09:13

I think it's un searchable however you can add people from your friends list if you wanted to do it that way?

Jfb23 · 16/03/2022 11:51

@Annny27 I had to copy the link and join from browser not the app.

After spotting the other day, I had sickness this morning. Wasn't nice but was a bit reassuring. My mum was downstairs with my toddler and I was just leaving for work so I think she's suspicious. I'm at work now and have to keep fighting the urge to be sick. Snacking small and often. I hope this isn't the start of regular sickness because that really will be impossible to hide

lilyj13 · 16/03/2022 14:28

I went to get scanned again as last time they only saw the sac. I'm 6 weeks 2 days and saw a beating heart which I couldn't believe.

Annny27 · 16/03/2022 15:09

Yayyy glad it went well for you @lilyj13 ๐Ÿ’—

@jfb23 haha the sickness is hard to hide!!

Pregnantpolly · 16/03/2022 15:09

@lilyj13 congratulations. Very exciting and reassuring

DogsAndBirds · 16/03/2022 17:30

Just got back from my booking in appointment. She really struggled to take my blood as it appears my blood vessels are just nonexistent!

Booked my 12 week scan and 16 week bloods - itโ€™s all getting a bit more real now.

Private viability scan booked for Friday when I will be between 8-9 weeks.

GAAJ04 · 16/03/2022 17:44

@Hjklasdfg are you able to send a new link please? X

Hjklasdfg · 16/03/2022 17:53

@lilyj13 glad the scan went well โ˜บ๏ธ

@DogsAndBirds must be exciting to have dates booked in now!

Hi all, hope everyone is holding up ok during these anxiety-provoking stages ๐Ÿ™ˆ

I am 7 wks today, love it when it rolls over into another week ๐Ÿ˜Š I received an appointment letter for my 12 week scan in April, this is when we do the "booking in" here apparently.

Just wondering, as people are booking private early scans, do you use the date the doctor gives (for your number of weeks) - or do you go by when you think you conceived? I'm afraid of booking one too early and then worrying myself if I don't see/hear what I expected.

Hope90x · 17/03/2022 10:13

@TheBirdintheCave sorry to hear you've had such a difficult time lately. Be kind to yourself and over-indulge in all your home comforts if you need them to get you to your next appointment x

Hope90x · 17/03/2022 10:17

@Mochii so sorry to hear your sad news, I can only imagine how you are feeling. I really hope you're doing ok, in the circumstances, and have lots of TLC and support ๐Ÿ’

TheBirdintheCave · 17/03/2022 10:19

@Hope90x Thanks :) I'm not coping very well. I just want it all gone now so I can move on but the EPU refuse to talk to me via email and I'm scared my husband will be fired if he takes more time off to take me to the hospital to talk to them in person.

I feel trapped in my own body and the progesterone that I was prescribed has brought my sore boobs back and made my nausea a bit worse which is hard to deal with. I don't know what's real and what isn't. I'm also scared the progesterone is stopping the miscarriage from happening naturally.

MrsSjc22 · 17/03/2022 14:09

Hi all I'm 8 weeks due end of October had an early scare but second epu scan today showed all is well ๐Ÿ‘Œ
