I'm currently 11dpo. Had a two faint positives yesterday followed by a positive clear blue this morning. This will hopefully be my second pregnancy due around 14th May by dates. Just wondered if anybody wanted to share the journey, symptoms and advice 🥰

@LondonGirl1992 It'll be your booking in appointment so blood tests and a chat about medical history with the midwife :)

Hello,

I’m currently around 6 weeks with hardly any symptoms other than feeling more tired. I had a miscarriage in July and was getting up in the night, being sick and felt tired and this time it’s completely different I keep stressing somethings wrong 😬

Congrats and sorry to hear on your previous miscarriage, I've been there myself. I'm also the same, only symptoms I have are missed period, bloating and craving salty food. I had much more with my successful pregnancy.

Hopefully it will be successful for us both 'x

Twinkles18 · 19/09/2023 14:30

@MissTilly93 congratulations 🥰 I feel the exact same although I’m getting some waves of nausea during the day but nothing major.

Just wanted to reassure you as I had absolutely no symptoms whatsoever when I was pregnant with my daughter who’s now a happy healthy 1.5year old. ❤️ try to enjoy it hopefully the next few weeks fly in Until you get a scan and you have a lovely uneventful pregnancy xx

@Nina7 thanks for sharing! My cheap ones have been really faint so I got some clear blue today. The line is definitely more prominent on there and I have saved one of my weekly clear blue ones to take in a week or so. Hopefully I last that long without using it. 😂

Due May 2024?

week 6. Feels like we could be having our second miscarriage in a row here. Trying to be positive but everything seems against us. My symptoms have completely stopped other than occasional cramping, had blood tests results today and my hcg levels aren’t doubling, and I’m just fearing the worse now. Viable heartbeat yesterday but concerned about size on the scan yesterday

I'm sorry to hear that, I really hope it's not the worst news for you. Its such a hard thing to go through. I'm really wishing you all the best. Xx

dangermouse34 · 19/09/2023 17:57

hCG went up just 8% in 48 hours 😓

che222 · 19/09/2023 18:01

Hi everyone! Can I join please… I’m currently 7+4 & my EDD is 3rd May! 🩷

Judethepud · 19/09/2023 18:26

@dangermouse34 so sorry to hear that, hoping its not the case for you.

Judethepud · 19/09/2023 18:27

Anyone else suffering with acne? I always get a few breakouts around my jaw during my period but it's 100 times worse now and feeling a bit self conscious when out and about.

LBNM19 · 19/09/2023 18:36

Sorry to read this @dangermouse34 what did the hospital say about the hcg reading? Must be very worrying for you. ❤️

TheBirdintheCave · 19/09/2023 18:50

@dangermouse34 I'm sorry :(

dangermouse34 · 19/09/2023 19:40

It was done by the doctors. They recommended to contact the hospital for a scan, however we had one yesterday so no need. Rang midwife and said the fact it’s not doubling isn’t too much a concern as long as it’s increasing, however I’m sure by just 8% isn’t enough

LondonGirl1992 · 20/09/2023 08:23

Hey all,

if I ovulated on 1st September but has the first day of my period on 7th august… does that mean I am 4 and a half weeks along or more? So confused by it all.

when does the risk of miscarriage drop?

TheBirdintheCave · 20/09/2023 08:28

@LondonGirl1992 You're 4+5 today.

Sa11yCinnamon · 20/09/2023 09:00

@dangermouse34 I’m keeping everything crossed for you x

Sa11yCinnamon · 20/09/2023 09:01

Is anyone else sleeping terribly? I’m so restless, waking up multiple times through the night and taking ages to get back to sleep. Please tell me it’s a) normal and b) gets better?!

winterbabyrose · 20/09/2023 09:03

Hope it is okay to join!! Period was due on Saturday so I am late but was still having negatives on cheapy tests, so I went and got a CB digital first thing this morning and it was positive! :) Going by my LMP I am 4+2 today and due date would be 27th May. So over the moon!!!

Judethepud · 20/09/2023 10:08

@LondonGirl1992 there are a few ways you can calculate your current weeks pregnant and due date online, NHS have a due date calculator and the website 'what to expect when expexting'.

Likelihood of miscarriage reduces every week but I believe it drops down to 10% between weeks 6 - 12.

IVFAlone · 20/09/2023 11:32

Hi all. I hope you can help. I am currently 5w6days. I had a scan yesterday but could only see a gas sac and a yolk sac but no fetal pole! Is this normal? Please send your advice and thoughts! I am very scared!

I would suggest another scan, you normally can't catch a heartbeat until at least 6 weeks. It sounds like you're on the right track xx

Twdfn123 · 20/09/2023 11:44

I'm 5 weeks today and just worried that I have barely any symptoms. I'm a bit bloated and very hungry but that's it . Is anyone else similar? Just worrying is all.

miamiamia869 · 20/09/2023 11:51

@dangermouse34 hoping everything works keeping everything crossed for you.

@Twdfn123 - I am 5 weeks tomorow. No symptoms either. I've had cramping since over a week before I was due on so coming up for 2 weeks. This has worried me but people have reassured it's very normal.

Aside from that no symptoms at all what so ever and again from reading up I think it's also normal and symptoms tend to come out more after week 6.

It's hard not to worry isn't but maybe we should make the most of the no symptoms before they hit us hard lol.
