Page 21 | Anyone due April 2024?

Cptn · 2023-07-22T20:27:27+00:00

Just got my bfp yesterday and EDD is early April 2024. Anyone else similar and feel like keeping each other company?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I’ve had a few before. Most recently in February, had to get my coil out to get the camera past it and … here I am 😁

I've had an emotional day, my "best" friend sent me a photo of a 12 week scan earlier, no message just that. She knows I had an early miscarriage last month. She knew I was trying and said she wasn't ready and she wants to wait a while but she was pregnant the whole time (our daughters are also the same age)

I just feel really hurt and kinda betrayed? Like she always expects me to share my life but never does with me (she has form for this) I just think it's so insensitive. She dosent know I'm pregnant as she wasn't very supportive last month so I didn't tell her.

I've been really upset, I just think you don't send a scan photo when you know someone's just had a miscarriage and you've been lying for months. I just feel really weird about it.

Bluesky85 · 11/08/2023 21:21

@faban i agree that is insensitive not to say anything with the photo. I would be upset by that too. Do you think she didn’t know what to say so decided not to say anything? Or do you think she’s just oblivious?

SurreyPsych · 11/08/2023 21:26

@faban that would really upset me too. I’m sorry.
I wonder what sort of reply someone would expect to receive after only sending a photo? No mention of having lied in a previous conversation. Bizarre.

My friend asked me outright, which I found odd, and I couldn’t bring myself to lie. I can’t get my head around your friend not acknowledging that conversation

@Angloitalian83 don't think it makes any difference! I stopped just because I forgot and then when I remembered, I noticed maybe it's useless to take now.

I'm still taking this! Should I not be? Xxx

Floralsandsmiles · 11/08/2023 21:32

HelloMoon87 · 11/08/2023 12:43

@Floralsandsmiles hope you're ok. I'm also worrying here. Unfortunately, the only thing we can do is wait and see, this early. I think by Monday, we will know a bit more, so at least let's get through the weekend without too much stress.

How are you doing @HelloMoon87? Are you still spotting? Are you testing still? Has spotting got heavier or lighter? Trying not to freak out my end! 😒 xxx

Floralsandsmiles · 11/08/2023 21:34

Boymama22 · 11/08/2023 16:16

@Floralsandsmiles they look like good positives for now. On my CP last month they never got that dark. Fingers crossed for you.

@HelloMoon87 it's such a difficult time isn't it! Early pregnancy by far for me thus far has brought on the most stress, just constantly worrying if things are ok, sending hugs x

Thank you @Boymama22 ! I have had spotting through the day when I wipe but test this evening is still positive and just as strong. So weird! Xxx

Floralsandsmiles · 11/08/2023 21:35

19EMMA89 · 11/08/2023 18:41

@Bugdem123 So glad to hear this too ! I've had cramps , anxious about them ... Had no cramps , anxious about that ... I want the symptoms but then they scare me and then no symptoms scare me ! I've no idea how to just chill out about all this !

I feel you on this @19EMMA89 , I really do! Lol 🤣🤣 right now I want all the symptoms so I know everything is OK! Xxx

Hi all, I stopped checking back here after the move over to Facebook (I don’t have Facebook) so I’m thrilled to see that it’s still going. I’ll be here more regularly now, hope that’s okay.

According to LMP I’m 6 wks 3 days. Booked a scan for 2 wks time because my work situation is complex and the dates make things really tricky (a story for another day).

I hope people are feeling a little better, especially @HelloMoon87 and @Floralsandsmiles

Thank you @SurreyPsych 💓☺️ I will be here as long as my peanut sticks around. I'm praying it does 🙏 xxx

Hi @faban 👋I would indeed be very upset with this xxx

Poppins2016 · 11/08/2023 21:51

@faban I think you're completely justified in feeling so upset, I know I would feel the same. I'm sorry, it sounds like a really difficult situation. Have you responded?

Poppins2016 · 11/08/2023 22:09

I've found myself in a bit if an irritating situation today and I'm surprised at how upset I am by it.

I'm on holiday with family and have been drinking alcohol free equivalents/soft drinks. I was given wine yesterday but managed to "dispose" of it into my DHs glass (annoyingly though, he made a comment about "not being allowed" alcohol in earshot of others). My sister twigged and ambushed me today, saying she knew I must be pregnant. I feel that it"s really insensitive and you shouldn't comment until you're told! I ended up (slightly pointedly) telling her that I had an early miscarriage last cycle and that I wouldn't be telling anyone else until after a scan, but I still feel really compromised/annoyed. Maybe I'd feel less sensitive if I'd not had the chemical pregnancy... but it's just not the done thing, is it?! She waited until after a scan to tell me about her pregnancy (and did so with a special "big reveal" type announcement), for context... so it's not as though she's a "tell family as soon as she gets a positive test" type - so I would have thought she'd have more empathy/be more sensitive and respect me wanting to tell people on my terms/in my own time. Now I'm stressed that I'm going to have to tell her (and her DH) if there's an issue which is just pressure/an upset I really won't need, all because she put me in that position in the first place.

Doesn't help that my hormones are raging, I'm super sensitive and have had a long day. Grr.

This is the link to the fb group if anyone would like to join x

Hi,

New to the thread, but joined a Fb group with my first and found it invaluable. The link says it's expired, please could you send an update? I'm 6 weeks today from an FET (IVF) pregnancy 🥰

faban · 11/08/2023 22:34

@ConfusedK thanks for letting me know- it's filling up so fast 🥰

That would annoy me too. Don't ask unless you're told! Hope you're okay

faban · 11/08/2023 22:38

Thank you, I'm glad you all agree. We've had a few messages where I've just said I'm surprised she didn't tell me when I said that I was and that seeing scan photo out of the blue is just a lot to take in. She really dosent get it though. She says she been dying to tell me for ages but she's had plenty of opportunities- we were pregnant together for a like a week. I just think it's typical her and it's not what a good friend would do, I would never do that so I just can't comprehend why she thought it was a good idea? I don't know how it will be moving forward

Baby3please · 12/08/2023 01:54

@19EMMA89 I felt pregnant at the very beginning, but now at 5 weeks I don't. So strange! My nausea has eased, same with my food aversions. It had me really stressed out and I'd convinced myself something was wrong, but yesterday I got a dye stealer that I'm pretty sure is as dark as you can get lol. I'll attach a photo of it. And I got my hcg tested yesterday and it's more than doubling so I think I should probably just chill out and try enjoy the lack of symptoms! I say lack of symptoms, but I must admit I'm extra tired and moody lol.

@faban that is so insensitive I reckon! You'd think she could approach that more gently than sending a scan photo!

@Poppins2016 I'm so sorry! What an awkward thing to say! I don't know why anyone would think they should bring it up first, it's so rude. I would be so upset if my sister did that. We haven't told anyone and won't be doing so until we have a scan, and if someone interfered I'd be super upset.

sugarplum33 · 12/08/2023 05:19

@faban Your friend has acted really badly here and if this is part of a wider pattern of behaviour maybe this is time to take a step back and reevaluate the friendship. I can't see how anybody with an ounce of emotional intelligence would think it was a good idea to send a scan photo unexplained to somebody who has just suffered a loss.

@Poppins2016 Another case of somebody being thoughtless. Unfortunately even though she wanted to keep her pregnancy secret, she hasn't allowed you the same. I hope you telling her has made her think a bit.

@Baby3please That's an incredible dye stealer!

I'm 4 weeks today and keep getting panicky that AF will appear. Doesn't help that things are quite 'damp' right now 🤣 I've been testing with 20miu strips which are still really faint, even DH commented you could barely see the second line (thanks for the vote of confidence DH!) so I'm going to test today with a FRER to hopefully see a bit more progression from my first test on Tuesday 🤞🏻 I was absolutely exhausted yesterday so had a really early night so of course I'm up and wide awake at 5am 🤪

I’ve bitten the bullet and booked a scan with window to the womb for 9th September, for when I’ll be 8 weeks exactly. Wasn’t planning on booking it just yet but when I was browsing the availability they only seem to have mornings, and a lot of slots had already gone when DH and I are both available.
I’m scared I’ve jinxed something now the booking email says it’ll be transvaginal as well which I wasn’t expecting, just hope it’s not too uncomfortable…

@CinderRosie I've had loads of transvaginal scans as part of my IVF treatment. I was really nervous before the first one but they're actually fine, certainly not painful and usually not even uncomfortable. They get a much better picture in early pregnancy that way and you don't need a full bladder, so it might actually be more comfortable than an abdominal scan!

CinderRosie · 12/08/2023 07:32

@hopefulmum46 thank you! I’ve just remembered I had one with DS (19 years ago so no wonder I forgot 😂) right at the start of my pregnancy for dating purposes. From what I remember that was ok so if I could do it then I’m sure I will be fine now.

I am finally hitting the 4 week mark, going by ovulation I was 4 weeks yesterday but by LMP I’m 4 weeks tomorrow. Will stick to LMP for now and see what the 12 week scan says. DH still won’t let me do the digital test til tomorrow when AF is officially a day late.

sugarplum33 · 12/08/2023 07:37

Decent progression from 10dpo to 14dpo? I still feel it's quite light but it's definitely darker so hopefully all is okay.

DauntedAF · 12/08/2023 07:41

Hi all
TWW test results*

Buzzing to be joining this thread!! Although still very early days. Got my bfp this morning. Defo a line there but hoping it darkens over next few days. Booked in for my blood test on Monday . Do you guys think the line is ok? It's an IVF baby so 9dp5dt

No symptoms or anything but didn't have on my previous successful pregnancy either so more relaxed about that now x

CinderRosie · 12/08/2023 07:42

I think that looks fine @sugarplum33 from my limited experience. My tests have progressed in a similar way although I’ve been using easy @ home mainly. here are my 11DPO tests (taken in the evening) and today’s at 15DPO with FMU.

DauntedAF · 12/08/2023 07:42

@sugarplum33 that line looks wonderful! That's the kinda line I'm hoping for tomorrow!!

SurreyPsych · 12/08/2023 07:42

Definitely a line there @DauntedAF! Welcome 😁
