February 2024

[Hrps]

It's very early days but I suspect there are some new BFP's meaning we'd be due in February. I'm 4 weeks today so super early. Anyone with me? Has anyone got any early pregnancy symptoms?

I have a scan booked at 7 weeks and there will be one at 12 weeks but I'm already thinking of a private week 9.5/10 😁

and it still doesn't feel enough 🙄I know that's how it is though but I'd want a look everyday if I could haha!!

@Pen40 what week will your scan be?

Become a test addict and need to step away - I bought a pack of 7 originally because I didn't expect a positive first go so havnt been able to resist. Giving me comfort though as it's nearly almost matching the control 15dpo!

I didn't know chemical pregnancies existing till MN so it gave me a new unlocked fear!

Aw 💕 lovely progression. I’m trying to stop myself taking another CB week indicator 🙈 it was 1-2 weeks last Sunday 11dpo so probably won’t have changed yet but I’ll still worry if it hasn’t 🙈 x

@Mangotango39 those lines look good! I am in the same boat as you as I keep testing but it’s costing me a fortune so I’m trying not to…
I’ve got my booking appointment on the 4th July - the clinic said I would be approx 9 weeks by then. So I’m guessing my scan will be 3 weeks after that… it just seems so long to wait x

@Daisydoo12345 I know what you mean about the week indicator tests - I have done a few and was worried because it showed 3+ one day and then dropped to 2-3 weeks … It then went back to 3+ but I’ve read a lot of posts on here to say how unreliable they are x

I really wanted to by a digital just to see the words, started walking to the shop and stopped mid way thinking no, I'm being silly!!

just got off the phone from the Dr.

13 dpo hcg = 69
15 dpo hcg = 214

so definitely a rise!

Exciting!

I’m worrying a bit today. I know I’ve often said that cramps are normal early pregnancy but now I’m starting to worry because they happen quite a lot and when we DTD last night OMG it was like I was having contractions! No bleeding though so I think I’m just worrying for nothing.

@Daisydoo12345 where abouts are the cramps located love?

Mine are pretty bad (for me) today to but I read it's your body preparing and getting to work.
I never had one bit of cramped in my too losses so I am actually preferring this 🤔

They are low down. I know, I’m sure it’s fine. Bless you, I get that! I just thought id be all stretched out after two big babies 😂

I took another CB digital one today, it's moved from 1-2 weeks to 2-3 weeks which was a relief (I'm 4+6 today). I've got one more left which I'll take in a week, and after that I'm done with tests! I've also done a home blood sample yesterday to see what my HCG was, and I'll be booking an early scan if I'm still pregnant in a couple of weeks' time.
*Not trying to be negative, just don't want to get my hopes up too soon x

@moosey89 that’s good news!
how did you do a home blood test? I called the dr today to request a blood test but they can only see me at the end of June and that’s just for a phone call… feels too long to wait! X

@Pen40 yeah I've not heard from the midwives yet which is why I wanted to do something! It's through a company called Medichecks - you can either do a finger prick sample at home or get a nurse to do it (but that costs more). It's 2 working days for results, so I should get mine either tomorrow if their lab is open or Monday. Either way better than nothing. I'm a stats girl so need some numbers for reassurance 😂

Thanks @moosey89 I’ll look into the home blood test. Hope your results are all good xx

What is everyone symptoms atm?

• My nipples are agony
• I am knackered
• I have a twitchy right eye
• There's a twinge in my lower back
• My discharge (sorry tmi) is out of control! Never really had it before!!!

Hey, can I please join :) congratulations on all the bfps 😁
got my bfp a couple of days ago at 10dpo. This was cycle 7 including 2 chemicals.
I@Mangotango39 I'm in the same boat. Had bought a pack of 7 not expecting the 1st to be positive. I'll be 13dpo tomorrow, tempted to try digital for 2-3 weeks 🤞

@Kiwiburgh welcome!!
such strong positive there woohoo 🙏

Also knackered!
My discharge is mental aswell! I check several times a day it's not blood 🙈

@Mangotango39 symptoms wise I’m still feeling ok but I am getting tired (but I keep waking up at 5am and not getting back to sleep which isn’t helping)
my boobs are sore on and off… and I’ve felt slightly queasy today but I think I’m really looking for symptoms to be honest! Oh and I’m feeling hungry!

congrats @Kiwiburgh and @Sunshineclouds11

@Sunshineclouds11 snap! I have honestly felt like it's period blood and ran to the toilet but nope clear (thank god!!) but it's so strange! Never had this before!

I still have a horrible metallic taste all day every day, sore boobs/nipples, started with sort of EWCM/also a bit white like normal discharge would be, I don’t exactly feel sick as such it’s like hunger constantly - really trying not to over eat. I am SO bloated by the end of the day.

tbh my hayfever is killing me more than anything I can’t cope without fexofenadine 😭😭😭😭

@Daisydoo12345 yoi poor thing - the bay fever must be so hard!!! Is there any close alternatives??

yep bloat end of day is unreal too! Feel like I'm going to pop!

Freaking out 13dpo test is lighter than 12dpo. I know your supposed to weight 48 hours but it shouldn't be lighter. Both FMU. I've had chemicals before so I'm stupidly anxious.

@Kiwiburgh that looks absolutely perfect to me! It's super dark too and doesn't appear lighter pictured.

my 14 & 15 were near exact to each other if you see above and I just did today (17dpo) and it's extremely dark. Big difference but actually matching yours pictured.
It can't really get much darker then that 😊
Don't forget even though both FMU your hydration can effect the pee.

Completely understand your worry it's such a nerve wrecking time . Could you perhaps do hcg test (two with 48 hours inbetween) to ease your anxiety? Knowing my levels doubled has really done good for me mentally.

@Mangotango39 thanks 😊 I just need to burn through 2 more frer in the cupboard then that's me done with testing! It's just making the anxiety worse. I'm going to try and wait 48 hours. Wish me luck 🙈
I can't talk to dh about it, he already thinks I'm Insane by doing more than 1 test lol

@Kiwiburgh that's ok.
my DP said the same 'how many of those are you suppose to do????' 😁
it's incredibly difficult not to get caught on it but honestly I don't think it could even get much darker .
🙏

Got my home blood test results back today, a nice result that's helped give me confidence for now! Will do another in a few days (middle of week 5). This one was from 4+5
