Due November 2023 - part 2

[MooseWL]

New thread 😀

Any older mums get pregnant the week after their period? I am wondering if my ovulation cycle is off due to age but I swear I conceived a week after my period??

@TAW2502 it’s horrible, I’m sorry it’s happening to you also, everything crossed for your scan next week… it’ll come round quickly enough, even through time moves unbelievably slow during the first trimester!

I will see how the rest of the day goes and call the GP tomorrow for a referral - they don’t seem interested before six weeks which I suppose is understandable.

@MooseWL @NatGee thanks both, despite every pregnancy being different, it’s definitely somewhat reassuring knowing there are a few of us experiencing the same thing.

@flowerlover1990 I actually can’t believe this, I’m not feeling nauseous any longer! She said my body is in imbalance, that’s why I’m feeling queasy and then she “balanced me”. She said I probably won’t need it again. I’ll keep you posted if it actually lasts but for now I’m very happy! I would recommend it to anyone. I’ve tried acupuncture previously to help with fertility but was seeing another lady who I didn’t click with, with this one it felt right and I think that’s also a reason I responded so well to the treatment.

@Travellingislife That's amazing. I'm so pleased you're feeling better, what a relief 😅. You've definitely convinced me to give it a go, I'll do some research tonight and see if I can find anyone in my area that does it. Keep me posted but enjoy your nausea free evening 😁 x

Thanks @Travellingislife you've definitely inspired me to try it, it's got to be worth a shot! It's debilitating feeling like this 24/7 😔

Feeling the same as a lot of you today! In a panic as not feeling nauseous today and feel I have more energy which is worrying but telling myself it'll be ok. Can't wait for my scan next Friday...

Got myself an acupuncture appointment but not until next Wednesday :( cant wait! this nausea is so debilitating

@ExcitedandNervousC1 exactly same today, how far are you? I'm 7w+1

@ExcitedandNervousC1 sorry that should have been 7w+3

@38andtrying I'm just a slight bit behind you at 6+6 so will be 7w tomorrow.have a scan next Friday at 8 weeks which was when my last MMC was discovered in November so am very nervous!

Best of luck next week. I know it's difficult but try to remember this is a different pregnancy, with a different outcome @Excited@ExcitedandNervousC1

Just told my parents. One of whom has a likely terminal cancer diagnosis looming and several worsening life limiting Co-morbidities.
Nome of us seemed thrilled with the conversation but what can you do.

@Spareincoming I am sorry to hear the conversation didn't go better. I hope you and your DP are thrilled and that's really what matters in the long run x

@NatGee i think we’re all pleased; but the reality of the situation takes the shine off and in any other circumstance my parents would be over the moon but have a lot to manage at the moment.

I am 7+1 today and I have a private scan booked for tomorrow afternoon because we are visiting family and would like to tell them in person as we likely won’t see them again for a while.
I am feeling very nervous though, after a trip to EPU last week, which seemed positive at the time. Sac, yolk, fetal pole and a flicker of a heartbeat were just about visible with a lot of poking and prodding, but now I am second guessing it, as the measurement was small when I’ve googled and I am worried what will be visible tomorrow … I know that worrying wont change anything, but I can’t get out of my own head!

@BabyBabyBaby123 I know the feeling, its tricky isnt it. We just had a big family visit this last weekend and we would have loved to tell everyone in person but I was only 7w and decided it was just too early. We will have to tell them via whatsapp unfortunately when the time comes. Also seeing family again tomorrow and will be keeping quiet. i wonder how id feel though, having had a scan? because I haven't had one, I have no idea whats going on in there but had I known I wonder if id be more confident in sharing the news?

We announced DD2 at 8 weeks-ish after a scan at 7+4, because it was our wedding and everyone would have known anyway with me not drinking 🙃 So this is a similar situation, but I had to go to the EPU this time for some light spotting so I think that added stress is what is freaking me out!

@flowerlover1990 @Sb86 @NatGee
my nausea have returned 😫 although not as severe which is positive! I think you should definitely try it as it seems to have helped so many people with morning sickness.

@Travellingislife oh! yes that is certainly a positive, maybe you need another visit after all?

Called the doc this morning as couldn't face feeling like absolute death any more. He's prescribed cyclizine so I'm hoping and praying they preform a miracle

So I had my appointment today at epu and they saw a baby in the right place with a heartbeat! Measuring around 6+2 which is a couple of days earlier than the nhs website says. They also saw an area of bleed which explains the spotting and maybe more to come.
But super glad that it’s looking good right now 🤞🏻

@Mrsrobinsonx aw excellent, hope your mind is at ease now :D

@NatGee Hmm I might do, she is fully booked until end of April though.
@Chellooo ah I hope it’ll help you, that’ll be my next step if this gets worse.
@Mrsrobinsonx congratulations! Great news!

@KellyJean I’m 41 and I noticed my ovulation hasn’t been that regular, some months I ovulated on day 18, now when I got pregnant I ovulated on day 14. I think you can definitely conceive a week after your period.

@KellyJean I meant to say that day one of your cycle is the first day of your period so if you have a 5 day period and ovulate a week after that it’ll be around day 12 which isn’t uncommon.
