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?

@GoneAway227 I'm the same! Got my positive at 9dpo on Tuesday. I'm testing with frer on odd days and boots on even days for 48 hour line progression...so actually I'm more crazy I guess.
Now you've had your dye stealer - nice and early too - I hope you can relax a wee bit. I'm planning to stop testing if/when I get one.
Sorry for your losses, I had a miscarriage myself in March. It's definitely much more anxiety ridden being pregnant after loss isn't it

@happydaysss Welcome and congratulations! How are you feeling so far?

@GoneAway227 glad to hear you think easy@home line progression is pants cuz mine yesterday and today doesnt seem any different, however my frer is so much darker! I found out at 9dpo and not due period for another few days so its dragging so bad already!!

Thank you @Hankthehonk! So far I've had on/off sore boobs and nausea started last night, which was weirdly reassuring! I really hope you're all doing OK ❤️

Welcome all the new BFPs and congratulations 🥳 it’s so lovely theres so many of us. Tiredness and napping seems to be a big symptom all round, I think the heat we’re having is making my tiredness 2 fold.

Anyone that’s had a MC recently (mine was end of March/start of April) do u have pain in your lower back/ uterus if u sit for too long or in certain positions? I don’t know if this is normal or something I should bring up with dr🙈

@DmcinT yes I have had back and stomach cramps also. I also had them with my miscarriage and with my successful pregnancy. I think it's normal.

I just tested positive for coronavirus, which is making me worry quite a bit. I did these tests at 15 dpo and 17 dpo, and now I'm scared to test again in case this affects things. Plus I'm isolating at home and don't have any tests left

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 I don't have COVID, but I'm also scared because of an allergic skin reaction. Would normally have taken antihistamines but was told not to if I could avoid it. But now I'm worried about there being so much histamine/my immune system being in overdrive... I guess I would worry either way.

@happydaysss @GoneAway227 Congratulations lovely lines.

@MrsW9 Was it the midwife who told you that? If not might be worth a call to check.

@DmcinT I had a miscarriage end of Jan and I've had constant lower back pain. I think its normal for me though cause in the past I usually get lower back pain about 2 weeks before I'm due on. I was also avoiding sleeping on my back which I think made it worse.

I was feeling really bloated but it seems to have eased off a bit (or maybe I just needed a good poo!) I don't remember the bloat going down before I had the MC so I'm taking it as a good sign.

@Strawberry06 and @A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 thanks, it’s so frustrating. I thought it would have eased by now. Same as u strawberry I can’t sleep on my back or lie on the floor in the gym to do any core work etc.. driving is very uncomfortable and feels like I’m being stretched constantly. I wonder will it ease at all or is that it.

im in with my dr today, just the gp to see if they can give me any more information on if this pregnancy is multiples again as I’ll prob need some medication to help support the pregnancy quite early on (only 5 weeks now)

Is anyone having funny feelings in their stomach?
I think I am 5 + 2 , it's almost cramping but not intense. Just stomach feels weird and bloaty!

hoping normal!

@DmcinT Yes backache is my worst symptom at the moment! Haven't had this in early pregnancy before. I had an mc in March.
And just like @Mangotango39 I have a weird stretching feeling in my stomach/uterus. Struggled to explain it to dh this morning!
It's reassuring that others are having the same symptoms. I'm a bit freaked out that my boobs feel totally fine, with both previous pregnancies they've been really sore at this stage but I'm feeling totally different this time.

@Hankthehonk yes! It's like my insides are stretching almost not like a cramp period .
that's the perfect description !

my boobs arnt terribly painful either.
nipples hurt more and the odd shooting pain . I keep jiggling them to check 😂

@Hankthehonk @Mangotango39 it’s good to know ppl are having the same although I’ve had this feeling non stop since March/April so I don’t think it’s actually pregnancy related but more healing from the MC, although I’m sure the hormone shift has prob added to it.

i was up just before 8 this morning and had to go back to bed just after 10 I couldn’t keep my eyes open, slept for 2 hrs and just awake 😂 I know I’m very lucky to be off for the next few months, I’d be asleep in the classroom if it wasn’t summer holiday 😂

oh and I’ve noticed not much with my boobs either 🤷🏼‍♀️ @A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 sorry I’m just seeing u tested for covid today, how are u feeling and have u had it before? Please god it’ll be mild now ❤️

Having a slight panic, would it be normal at all for clear blue digital to still show 1-2 weeks? I estimate based on last period that I would be 4+6 today.

Based on last period I was 5+1 when I got 3+ but still 1-2weeks at 4+4 🤷🏼‍♀️ @happydaysss

@happydaysss when did u last test and did it say 1-2 weeks at that point? In fairness u could be just on the cousp of changing into 2-3 (maybe ovulation was 2/3 days later?)

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 oh no sorry about the covid! Hope it's not too bad. I had it back in March 2020 when things were scary and I was 22 weeks pregnant and my daughter was fine it didn't affect her at all

@Hankthehonk thanks so much for replying.

@happydaysss do you know how many days past ovulation you are? It could be you ovulated a little later than the 'standard' 14 days

Thank you all for replies :) my first test was on Monday (12th) and it said 1-2, was hoping it would have moved to 2-3 by now but maybe I'm being impatient. We DTD on 28th May and I thought I'd ovulated on 23/24th but it must have been a bit later, this pregnancy is a surprise but a happy one! Have one more digital left so will try hold off til Monday and hope it's moved to 2-3 :)

I'm getting mild cramps/odd twitches. I'm also getting some mild nasusa but that might all be in my head

I’m just out of the doctors, she’s testing my progesterone and hcg levels so that’s given me a bit of relief. I also did a clear blue digital weeks predictor this morning and it’s showing me as 4-5 weeks (Monday was showing me 3-4) so I’m very hopefully it’s increasing as it should for 1 baby this time 🤞🏽 ( I’m afraid of multiples again and I’m going on a 3 week holiday in a few days so we won’t be back until I’m 8 + 2 incase I need anything extra to support for example triplets)

she’s also referred me for an early scan that week we are back so I feel a little better about everything now (although still nervous😅)

@DmcinT ah good, that all sounds positive! Glad you've got an early scan coming up, that should really help ease the nerves.

I just got my blood tests back (that I did privately), looks like HCG is ok which is a relief. Just 10 days to get through and I'll book myself an early scan (wanted to get to 7+3 so I see something even if I ovulated late!)

@moosey89 what's your blood results hun?

4+4 - 545
5+2 - 1757

the clinical banding for each week is:
3 Weeks 5.8 - 71.2
4 Weeks 9.5 - 750
5 Weeks 217 - 7138
6 Weeks 158 - 31795
7+ Weeks > 3697

Doctor's report said all good and as expected :)
