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 🥰

@satellitesunshine yes! Mainly because my nose is blocked 24/7 but then generally after I potter about the house for a while I’m like breathless and need to go and sit down 😂 I think maybe I just need to do a bit more gentle walking in my exercise routine… maybe that will help

satellitesunshine · 24/09/2023 08:29

glad it’s not just me, i don’t remember it in my last pregnancies and was starting to convince myself i was dying 😅😂

Sandy2323 · 24/09/2023 08:42

Good morning everyone:) I'm wondering if anyone had this beta hcg done what was your results ladies ? Mine seems pretty heigh I have my appointment tomorrow but just wondering if anyone had similar numbers

junebuglb · 24/09/2023 08:45

@UnderstatedElegance i could have written this myself…THE DREAMS!? Glad it’s not just me! I feel no matter how much sleep I’ve had, I still need more!

@satellitesunshine feel your pain these symptoms are kicking my butt too. feeling utterly useless atm, take it easy. xx

Judethepud · 24/09/2023 08:48

Feeling the exact same ladies, out of breath just walking up and down the stairs and so tired! Slept a good 10 hours last night but can hardly get out of bed this morning.

Maximoo1234 · 24/09/2023 10:50

hello, can anyone give me some advice. I’m 5 weeks and 1 day. Had mild cramping all last week. Yesterday had one burst of short but severe cramping. Some very pale bleeding when I wipe. Last night I had a small amount of red blood in my knickers. This morning I’ve been feeling exactly what’d I’d feel cramping wise if I was on my period. Just been to loo and there wasn’t so much red fresh blood in the bowl but lots of red clots. Light blood when I wipe. Sorry for the graphic detail. anyone else experienced this? 😔

Unfortunately this led to a miscarriage for me. But I've had a friend who bled through most of her early pregnancy and was fine. I know it's a bit early but I would ask for an early scan when you hit 6 weeks to assess what's going on. Good luck xx

Nina7 · 24/09/2023 11:09

@Maximoo1234 that must be very scary... I've got no experience but sometimes some blood can be normal, sometimes it's very worrying. Is the Early Pregnancy Unit open today in your area? I would contact someone asap...

I can't remember the usernames, but I think I've got the same due date with a couple of other users, 25/5. I've got an appointment with the midwives on the 20/10 but I'm now also thinking of an early scan (mainly to exclude any worries for an ectopic).
In a private place down the road they do it from 6weeks onwards, I'm thinking of booking for 6w+0. Is there a chance to hear a heart then?

Rusticanella · 24/09/2023 11:13

@Nina7 I have one booked for 6+4. I think there is a chance of seeing heartbeat at this point, but it is not a huge concern if you can't see one.

Can you put it back a week/few days- or if you don't see one you may just need to go back a week later

Rusticanella · 24/09/2023 11:15

@Maximoo1234 , hope you are okay, I would def see if you can't be seen, either EPU or 111. May well be that all is okay- but I think if it were me I'd want to see someone for my own well-being. All the best x

Maximoo1234 · 24/09/2023 12:58

Thanks everyone for your replies. I called the epu and they said it’s more than likely a misscarriage. 😞 passing clots and pretty much constant bad period pain all morning. I’ve to do another test in a week and call back next Sunday with the results. She said I don’t need to go in or do anything else. Best wishes to you all x

LBNM19 · 24/09/2023 13:04

@Maximoo1234 I am really sorry to read this. Sending lots of love.

Twinkles18 · 24/09/2023 14:11

@Maximoo1234 so so sorry to read this. Look after yourself ❤️

Twinkles18 · 24/09/2023 14:12

I just booked an early scan for tomorrow..has anyone had a scan at 6+1 and seen a heartbeat?

LBNM19 · 24/09/2023 14:16

@Twinkles18 I can’t remember when I first saw a heartbeat with my previous pregnancy’s but let us know how it goes.

I have been told to go to the EPU next week for an early scan from 5 weeks I’m going on Thursday as I’m off work and will be 5+5.

I am feeling so unwell today I’ve been in an out of bed and can barley move so atm I’m wondering how I’m even going to make it into work tomorrow. My boobs are so sore.

Twinkles18 · 24/09/2023 14:20

@LBNM19 inwas 6+6 when I had an early scan with my DD and all was good, hopefully get good news tomorrow and will keep you all posted!

good luck with your scan! Google says the heart starts beating between 5 and 6 weeks so hopefully you get to see that 🥰 I don’t think EPU would want to bring you in too early to have you sit worrying for a few weeks until you can be seen again so fingers crossed for you!
mare you able to take the day off? Sounds awful! I’m just exhausted running about after a messy husband and 1.5year old lol don’t know who’s worse 😂😂

Meggan123 · 24/09/2023 14:25

@Maximoo1234 so sorry hun 😢 take good care of yourself!

LBNM19 · 24/09/2023 14:28

@Twinkles18 yes hopefully I have some complex history during pregnancy’s so that’s why I’ve been told to go in.

I am currently laying in bed wondering if I should call in sick or not I’m a teaching assistant and work in a unit with 6 children that are autistic it’s very full on.

My partners away this weekend and I have 3 children at home they’re 8,6 and 4 so luckily not at the age that I need to run after them but I’ve been there it is hard work!

MrsBFaith · 24/09/2023 15:24

@Maximoo1234 Really sorry lovely take care of yourself ❤️

UnderstatedElegance · 24/09/2023 15:25

@Maximoo1234 what a worry. Please look after yourself and be kind to yourself x

miamiamia869 · 24/09/2023 15:29

@Maximoo1234 I am so so sorry to hear you are going through this. Take care xx

Sandy2323 · 24/09/2023 17:29

@Maximoo1234 I'm so sorry for your loss, I went through this last month 5w3days we lost our baby 3 weeks later I find out we are pregnant again:) I hope you fast recovery and I hope that you will also soon be pregnant with healthy baby sending much love

che222 · 24/09/2023 18:57

@Twinkles18 yes I had a scan two weeks ago exactly 6 weeks and we heard a heartbeat x

slowsundays · 24/09/2023 19:28

Due May 2024?
