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?

@Mismatc a bit of brown spotting can be nothing to worry about. Are you having any other symptoms or any red bleeding?

@Pinkmoon23 So sorry x

Just catching up as we've been travelling today, now on holiday for a week just the 3 of us (dh, toddler dd and me) - first time we've had a holiday just us so I'm excited. Weird to think it could maybe be our first, last and only foreign holiday as a family of 3 if things go well with this pregnancy.

@DmcinT my fake drinking tip is suggest a kitty instead of rounds then you be in charge of the kitty so always going to the bar. Nobody likes to do it so likely nobody will challenge you! If someone else does get you an alcoholic drink just toss it down the loo.

@Pinkmoon23 devastated to see your sad update, I'm so sorry you're going through this. Sending love

I had brown spotting with my son and it turned out ok.

Red, filling a pad and pain is what to look out for.

I'm so sorry. Been through EXACTLY the same thing today at the same weeks as you with the same blood results. Sending huge love xx

Sorry ladies for your losses been there so many times I’m petrified this time due feb 28th x

Yh I was super broody as well. However, I definitely did not intend to get pregnant this soon. I had to use clomid to get pregnant with my first so I was not expecting this at all. Ideally I would have had a bigger age gap for my sanity but like you say this is probably better for the kids. When are you due?

Brown bleeding can be quite common, so please don’t worry yourself. When I had my miscarriage everything progressed so quickly. I wiped brown then an hour later I was wiping red. Then maybe 20 mins after that I was passing a lot of blood and passed massive blood clots too.

@happydaysss I'm so sorry xx

Ah I see, well I’m telling myself that it’s gonna suck transitioning from 1-2 however big the gap is 😂 that’s my line and I’m sticking with it!

Hard to say when I’m due, my cycles were always massively irregular (PCOS) and I’d only just got my period back last month! Going purely by LMP around 26th Feb x

Anyone else having sort of cramps? They don't really hurt - it feels almost like stretching inside . Odd sensation and it's mostly been afternoons/night but today it's dull all day . Coming up to 7 weeks.

I am still getting to odd dot of pink blood here and there so just hoping it's all what is suppose to happen🙃

I’m so sorry for those with losses, I really hope you’re getting on okay.

My symptoms all stopped and then I had brown loss and I was a bit uncomfortable so I thought that it may be the beginning of the end. No further loss yet and my discomfort turned out to be bloating, I have everything crossed 🤞🏻

I get cramps though I do think they’ve settled down in recent days. Sorry for TMI, but I think it’s digestive stuff.. I don’t normally have digestive issues but it does seem to be relieved in that manner 😂😂 it was happening mid-late afternoon. I think I’ll get in my head about all manner of minor things and that makes them worse too

@Mangotango39 i had quite a lot of cramps/stretching during my last pregnancy, not so much this time but maybe it’s just already stretched. Is this your first?

i was just wondering in relation to tests, I was 5 +2 when I got my 3+ on digital so does that mean my dates are just out by a few days and I actually would have been 5 weeks the day I got 3+

@DmcinT I’m not sure but I think the only way to date the pregnancy would be from a scan rather than the clear blue digital tests… im new to all this though so don’t take my word for it! X

@DmcinT my last pregnancy was a bliated ovum so just the sac measuring 5 weeks. First pregnancy mc at 11 weeks but not sure when the growth stopped and it was a very long time ago (over 10 years - I was young!)

so hopefully maybe these cramps are result of growth and a good sign it's tracking ok.
Thursday can't come quick enough for my scan !!

I don't know much about those tests but they go my hcg levels so not an exact of how many weeks - you were possibly just needing levels to creep up abit but might still be where you thought in terms of weeks and days x

@Mangotango39 im so sorry you’ve been through a lot❤️ Yeah I’d say they are good signs of ur uterus practicing and getting used to stretching out 🥰🎉 how many weeks will u be for ur scan? I can’t wait for a scan but I’ll be nearly 9 weeks so it feels ages away even though it’s only 3 weeks lol I’m just so impatient

i was delighted originally that the digital I did last week was 3+ at 5 +2 as it all points towards a singleton pregnancy but sure now the over thinking has kicked in 😂 the waiting game is tough…

I'm really annoyed with myself and should
know better.

I did a CB digital showing 2-3 when I found out last Wednesday. Did another one following day and it was 1-2. Few days later back to 2-3.

Got a 3+ on Thursday and calmed down, then today did another one (last one left in the pack) and it said 2-3.

Don't have many symptoms other than tiredness and hunger (plus stretching pains)- and I know it could be anything from pee dilution to the test.

Don't know why I put myself through this anxiety!

Just wondering if anyone else is struggling with extreme tiredness? I'm 6+5 and have barely left my bed all week.

@Meeting me, I can’t be bothered to do anything…but I don’t know if it’s hayfever that’s getting me down….which sounds silly but i’m REALLY struggling and obviously can’t take what i’d usually take for it.

@Meeting im the same

@Meeting sorry that sent weird on me and deleted half the message 🫣
I was saying I’ve napped 2-3 hrs everyday this week and the rest of the time I’m awake I’m just kinda lyin or sitting around 😅

@GeriatricMumma we are our own worst enemies with testing aren’t we🙈 have u been to ur dr yet?

Yep to change over my medication (I'm on beta blockers). Good my usual blood tests Monday and scan on Saturday

@Daisydoo12345 @DmcinT glad I'm not the only one! I feel so lazy but I honestly don't have the energy to do anything at all, except for snack on apples and cookies to keep the nausea at bay haha

@GeriatricMumma hard as it may seem I think you're best to try and hold off testing for a bit. Luckily you've run out as if you're anything like me and they're in the house there's absolutely no self control
