Hello everyone just found out today I’m pregnant after 17 long cycles of trying. I’m 4 weeks and already so nauseous.

This is my first one so I don't know what's normal or not and don't have a midwife yet

Pleased all okay @Fawklight how worrying. At least you have another date for a viability scan too x

Really glad they said that it's all fine, I can imagine the worry. 🤍

@Fawklight I am so pleased everything was ok for you!

Just called my EPU to see if they could do some HCG monitoring or prescribe progesterone (given two losses) and they said nothing they can do, GP also doesn't want to know either. Feel like there's nothing I can do now but wait and see :(

@Nic17 Talk with your midwife and express concern. They may be able push something along.

@Nic17 have sent you a PM.

@Fawklight glad everything went ok 🤍 and that you've got another scan too!

@Nic17 hopefully you can get some support 🤍

@WolfMother326 received with huge thanks, such a kind message.

spoke to a different GP just now who is sending a referral to EPU. Should know by Monday if they accept the referral. Thank you all xxxx

Tentatively joining you ladies today, first positive test at 13DPO yesterday, trying to avoid testing again until tomorrow morning so I see some line progression.

Not able to enjoy it fully yet after I had a CP/early loss in December, haven't told my husband yet as I know he won't be excited after what happened last month.
Am feeling absolutely nothing in the way of symptoms yet, by LMP I should be 4+0 today

We are hoping for DC #2, I have a little boy who is 2yrs old in a couple of weeks.

@SouthwestSis congratulations! Keeping everything crossed for you :) :)

Congratulations @SouthwestSis 🎊

Is anyone getting a bit over emotional about things? I feel like everything is annoying me. Any minor inconvenience at work is making me irrationally angry.

Maybe it's nightshift and lack of sleep but I need to calm down 😆

@SouthwestSis congratulations! I really hope it sticks for you. I also have a partner that has reacted similarly after our losses, I have told him but he's very much "let's wait and see" whereas I'm a mix of can't contain my excitement/anxious mess 😅

I am flying back from Spain tonight and had a really upset stomach overnight- I suffer with IBS anyway but things have been semi ok since I found out I was pregnant. I have been so worried about the flight all day as was ill again this morning so I haven’t eaten anything and I ended up taking 2 immodium instants 😔I pored over the research and it isn’t recommended in pregnancy generally but this seems to be because of lack of evidence but I am so anxious now- I just don’t know how I could fly tonight otherwise. I’m trying to reassure myself that it’s the best situation as my anxiety over being ill on the flight could be worse but if anyone has any positive stories I’d appreciate it

Oh sorry you're feeling so rough @Lemonyfire, hoping everything goes smoothly with the flight.

Yes @Nic17 I know my OH will be exactly the same, I'm tempted to keep the news to myself until I get past the point I was with the previous loss, but that's another 8 days from now!
Also the tiredness is starting to hit now and I don't want him just thinking I'm being lazy!

@SouthwestSis got everything crossed for you. I had a CP in October so know exactly how you're feeling. Sending you lots of positivity 🤍

@Wanderlust86 Yup I’m so irritable today it’s unreal!

@Lemonyfire I’m sure you’ll be okay, hope you are feeling better soon

@Lemonyfire don't stress, I'm sure it's totally fine ❤️

I'm having an early scan Tuesday or Wednesday due to 3 previous losses. Worried I'll go and they won't see anything and I'll have to wait and go back (this happened to me in my last loss but when I went back it was confirmed blighted ovum) I'll be around 6+1 when I go for the scan 😫

I had this in my last pregnancy and I got scanned and they found cysts in my ovaries

Thank you all- flight was really delayed so read through loads of research articles ( as you do) there weren’t many but my mind has been put at ease. We’ve just landed and I was fine. Just normal pregnancy anxiety to keep my mind occupied now 😂

@karma3 Thinking of you- let us know how it is xx

What did they do for you? I'm not in pain now

@Jeyla1230 could it be round ligament pain? I had random pain in all of my pregnancies that was fine and have had random sharp pains when moving or bending that is round ligament pain. Sharp but subsides. I think a certain amount of mild discomfort around ovaries is normal too. I think it’s a good sign it only lasted a short time xxx

Woohoo congrats I was 4 weeks Christmas eve. So we're going at it together. Been 2 years for me

If you saw the things I did and took whilst unknowingly pregnant with my first, it would definitely help ease your guilt over this. I convinced myself that I put that tiny embryo through hell! I worried myself silly.

To confirm, that embryo is about to turn four in a few weeks and he is just an utter, chatty joy. Not an ounce wrong with him. As developmentally typical as they come. Something I convinced myself wasn’t possible after I finding out I was pregnant and realising the things I had digested and dabbled in prior to that!

sending you lots of love ❤️
