Hello! Thought I'd start this group as it doesn't seem to exist yet and would be good to hear from anyone due in November! I know it's ridiculously early days but it's nice to have other people going through the same thing at the same time ☺️ x

It's completely stopped now 🤷🏻‍♀️ hopefully it doesn't make another appearance 🤞🏻

Pamctake2 · 09/03/2022 15:58

I'm just telling the people close to me as and when it comes up as if I had another MC I wouldn't want to suffer alone through that anyway.

Symptoms wise I'm only 5weeks so my only real indicator I'm pregnant is that when I'm breastfeeding my little boy it's started to really hurt, need to get him off the boob before the next one comes 🤣

@Mumof1boy2022 this pregnancy has given me the kick in the bum that I need to try and lose a bit of weight, I'm hoping that I can drop a few kgs before I get weighed by the hospital. Probably just dropping all the vino will help 🤞

@Natalie2304 glad the tinge has disappeared, hopefully stays away x

I've been off work with my 3 year old with chicken pox this week and I'm dreading going back tomorrow as I have no energy now and have a 12hour shift with a comute. However, it's probably going to be less draining than my dd. On the plus side, I've had my pregnancy risk assessment which includes me asking for extra breaks if I need them. I had a 20ish minute nap today while DD watched TV. I may have to nap at work on my breaks. I did that last pregnancy.

@Justawannabemam Yay!! We had our FET on Valentine’s Day too - how exciting!! but just one 5d embryo for us. Our scan isn’t until the 15th but I’ve had a 3x hgc test as I really need to know everything going ok (I’m pretty sure my clinic thinks I’m a total control freak! Lol)

Littleheart5 · 09/03/2022 17:25

I’ve had some brown discharge both last night and just now when I wipe. This is how my previous miscarriage started so am really, really concerned. We had sex yesterday, because we thought it was safe to do so, but now I’m kicking myself that it may have caused something to happen which will cause me to miscarry. Feeling so stressed and sad that we might lose it

Bramblecrumble21 · 09/03/2022 18:10

Handhold for you littleheart. Praying it's just pregnancy discharge this time round.

KitGee · 09/03/2022 18:12

@Littleheart5 I just had a quick google and the consensus (NHS, Mayo clinic etc) seem to be that sex wouldn’t cause a miscarriage. As a note our IVF clinic told us not to have “sex” during the 2ww bit I think that’s more about infections after the transfer… Anyway hope you’re not too stressed and fingers crossed for you x

Justawannabemam · 09/03/2022 18:44

@KitGee aww lil valentines babies haha .

I just had the one blood test which was 600 I've still been testing I can't help it !! Anyhow I've just done my last one scan on Friday. Getting g a wax tomorrow poor woman looking at that ! So if I'm having a vaginal scan so I still need a full bladder. ? Like when I went for transfer ?

Me and my part er just had a massive argument. He knows I'm hormonal and the slightest little thing pisses me off. Anyhow I've come for a nice bath . Albeit not a hot one but at least I can get some peach for half an hour x

Lots of new people joining x congrats everyone

Littleheart5 · 09/03/2022 18:50

Thanks so much @Bramblecrumble21 and @KitGee I’ll Kew you updated. We had googled extensively whether sex was safe, and everything seemed to say yes. Fingers crossed x

Circe22 · 09/03/2022 19:31

@Pamctake2 thanks soooooooo much for typing up that step by step it’s so handy! I’ve finally figured out step 1 and sent a self referral form to my hospital.

Really hope everything is ok @Littleheart5 .
I hadn’t really realised how fragile everything would feel in these first few weeks - it’s tough!

Bramblecrumble21 · 09/03/2022 20:28

@Mulner88 I called my GP they linked me to a form for the midwifery team. I filled it out, submitted it and it said I'll here back between 8-10 weeks and to call at 10 weeks if I here nothing. So another month to go before an appointment! I did get a couple of missed calls from private numbers earlier this week. Hope they weren't the midwifery team. I remember having trouble not picking up the phone last pregnancy as I don't really do calls.

dancingqueen345 · 09/03/2022 20:52

@Bramblecrumble21 they might have been... when I rang earlier today I saved the number in my phone and when they rang me back it was from withheld number. I think it might be a privacy thing in case anyone is with you when they call!

TheBirdintheCave · 09/03/2022 21:29

@Bramblecrumble21 You can ask for an email address instead :) I don't do phone calls either.

lovepenny · 09/03/2022 21:34

Hey guys! Have any of you been taking pregnacare? I've been taking the pre conception tabs and don't know when to switch over to the pregnant pregnacare. I was thinking after AF was due which is tomorrow.

Thanks!

TheBirdintheCave · 09/03/2022 21:47

@lovepenny I'm still using up my conception vitamins as well and will then switch to the pregnancy ones once they're all gone (if I get that far, I've got two left). All you really need from them is vitamin D and folic acid, both of which are in the conception ones so you'll be fine sticking with those for the time being :)

Cruz86 · 09/03/2022 21:47

Glad your spotting has stopped @Natalie2304!

Sorry to hear you've had some spotting too @Littleheart5. It's very triggering to have something like this, especially with a precious mc. Can you call your gp/epu in the morning? They should offer you an early scan because of your history and the spotting you're experiencing now.

@Bramblecrumble21 I'm so glad I work from home so I can nap whenever I need it. The exhaustion is killing me. Hope your 3 year old is okay.

Yes I take pregnacare @lovepenny!

ALittleBitofVitriol · 09/03/2022 22:04

@Littleheart5, don't blame yourself! It absolutely is safe. I bled in almost all of my pregnancies and mostly it was fine. Take care of yourself 💜

@Bramblecrumble21 hopw your dd is feeling better and your work shift isn't too bad!

We told family and my best friend already. I have a few friends still to tell, I probably will soon because I'm being a bit of a flake feeling tired and nauseous... I should be trying to drop some kgs but my dh makes these amazing sourdough brioche buns which just hit. the. spot right now 😄

Pamctake2 · 09/03/2022 22:48

@ALittleBitofVitriol homemade brioche buns sounds bloody fabulous 😍

@Littleheart5 I think that sex can sometimes cause a bit of bleeding because things are more sensitive but sex is 100% not a cause for MC. I've been there with the spotting, it's super stressful but you're not alone ❤️

Mulner88 · 09/03/2022 22:51

@Bramblecrumble21 thank you. I've a feeling my local hospital will be slow enough to get back to me so I'll just wait it out 🙈 they may have called you from a withheld number. Most if not all NHS devices calls from a withheld number unfortunately so have a look out for that. They should have left a message though. I hate answering calls too that I don't recognise and never answer withheld numbers.

I've a question- does other peoples symptoms vary day to day? For example, my boobs were sore yesterday but today they feel almost normal. I may be reading too much into it but just wondering what other peoples experiences are...

FourOclock · 10/03/2022 05:17

Hey, can I join? EDD is 14th November ish. Third baby but so much more anxious this time! Not sure why. Does anyone fancy a private Facebook group? I had them with my previous pregnancies off Mumsnet and found it easier to keep up with everyone!

Bramblecrumble21 · 10/03/2022 06:22

@Mulner88 I assumed if it was important that'd call back another day. But I only got calls on Monday. Last pregnancy I got myself that oldstyle texts and calls only Nokia for medical calls. I remember the private number.

CSR721 · 10/03/2022 06:45

@FourOclock I'd love a private group. I keep missing things on here as it moves so fast and I don't always get emails x

dancingqueen345 · 10/03/2022 06:53

@FourOclock I would also be up for a FB group

FourOclock · 10/03/2022 07:12

I think how it worked before was someone would set up a secret group and then people DM that person their name so they can invite them. Although I've never done it myself personally Grin happy to give it a go?
