Congratulations! I'm due around the same date, Mum of two And I had a miscarriage in October too🙈my second one 🥲first was in between my two children.
Did you have more than 2 mc that you are on medication?
How do you feel?

Xur · 12/01/2024 07:11

Good morning,
@MudandMoet these types of posts is what I need these days until my scan next Tuesday.
i can’t say I do not have any symptoms at all, but what bothers me is that one day on Wednesday my nausea was intense and now it’s dimmed down, it comes at random, lasts only about 10 seconds alone does not cause massive discomfort. I’m getting paranoid about this, I read it’s not good, but then again my friend said her onset was also slow and periodic.

MrsM89 · 12/01/2024 07:12

Hello.
Congratulations! I had 3 mc's before my little boy 9 years ago. Then was put on medication for his pregnancy and my next pregnancy. But in October last year I didn't get prescribed quick enough and miscarried again. So this time I was testing early to get medication.

Morning and welcome new ladies!

@Xur please try not to worry, I haven't had any nausea at all. Not everyone gets sickness in their pregnancies (I keep meaning to Google this) my boobs aren't even tender now and I'm sat here in bed with a cuppa thinking how can I be pregnant when I don't feel any different. I'm sure it'll all come at once and then we'll be moaning 🤦🏼‍♀️ if you don't have really bad cramps and fresh blood when you wipe I'm sure things are just fine for you xx

@MrsM89 are you already taking aspirin and which dose - I've been told to start taking it at week 8 but I am worried I should be on it already.

VT6 · 12/01/2024 08:05

Hi,
Hoping to just get some support / vent my worries here.
I’m 29 and found out I was pregnant early this week. 4 + 6 weeks, I miscarried at 7 +5 weeks in October 2023. So freaking out over every little twinge etc.

Starlight11111 · 12/01/2024 08:17

Welcome and congratulations to those joining this thread!

For everyone pregnant after loss, you're in good company on this thread, there's lots of us here feeling just as anxious. The next few days for me are where I lost my first pregnancy so I'm going stir crazy!

To those that had some bleeding and trying to get a scan today I am thinking of you ❤️

Decaffe · 12/01/2024 08:21

Hi @cd24x my due date would be the 23rd September. It feels very strange to be here analysing line progression on 12dpo when some other ladies just a few weeks ahead are having early scans!

I posted yesterday to say I thought my lines had got paler. But this morning there is a clear progression when I compare photos from 10 and 12dpo so I am feeling better today. I’m going to stop afternoon testing and just do FMU, and keep my fingers very crossed! My nipples also become exceedingly sensitive last night so I am taking that as a good sign, too!

I spoke to my GP surgery yesterday. They took HCG bloods and will do so again tomorrow. The only thing is the wait for the results is four days!

SC126 · 12/01/2024 09:12

Woken up today feeling super crampy like I'm about to come on. Stressed.

KittyFantastica · 12/01/2024 09:27

Solidarity @SC126. I hope they're just normal pregnancy cramps for you.

I don't have a single symptom and my tests are now basically negative. I phoned EPU to ask what I should expect in the next few days as I expect a chemical, but they won't advise as I've had no pain or bleeding. The only thing they would advise is take a test in a week.

MrsC2024 · 12/01/2024 09:28

@Chaz693 thank you x

MudandMoet · 12/01/2024 09:36

@SC126 hope it's just normal
Pregnancy cramps and nothing more xx

@KittyFantastica I really feel for you, it's that horrific limbo time you're now in, no idea what's going on and can't seem to get any help from anyone. I've been there and it's bloody awful on top of that your hormones will be fluctuating like crazy depending what's happening. Sending a supportive hug and hope you get some answers soon xx

Cat2022 · 12/01/2024 10:41

@VT6 I had a MC in October as well around 6 weeks so I’m also really nervous I’m currently 5 weeks and haven’t phone to book the midwife yet as too nervous but going to do it today.

VT6 · 12/01/2024 11:42

@Cat2022 It's awful isn’t it! I did a self referral form online when I found out in the hope I’ll be seen quicker, got my booking in appointment @ 7 +2weeks so just hoping I get to that this time. Just take one day at a time, I think once you get past ‘that’ date the anxiety will settle slightly…. That’s what I’m hoping anyway 🫣

KittyFantastica · 12/01/2024 11:54

Thanks all.

All I want to know is how long it will likely be before I start bleeding now that the tests look negative, and EPU just wouldn't say anything.

cd24x · 12/01/2024 12:26

@KittyFantastica thinking of you and hope you get your answers soon. I agree with @MudandMoet - it's such a crap limbo time.

@Decaffe I know what you mean! It's nice to see the progression from those that are a bit further along and gives me a little more hope! I'm trying my best to not test, although I caved yesterday with a cheapy and saw a bit of line progression. I'm holding off til tomorrow to do my first digital in the hopes it'll say 2-3. Glad you're feeling better today about lines getting darker.

@Chaz693 thanks for the FB link. I've requested to join.

Where I live we have to refer ourselves directly to maternity services rather than go through the GP. So I got my call from them yesterday and have got blood test booked in on 14th Feb when I'll be past the 8 week mark. Seems ages away! No news on booking in appt either. Still got sore boobs, getting waves of nausea mid afternoon to evening. So much for "morning" sickness! But I'll take it. I also ended up in tears this morning over nothing so I'm taking that as a symptom too 😆

Xur · 12/01/2024 12:44

@MudandMoet
thank you, yeah I’ve not had any spotting at all (knock on wood), I have some cramps here and there but they are not like period cramps and they’re light. I’m used to them now haha

Fawklight · 12/01/2024 13:01

Had a scan today, I'm measuring a week behind but there was a heart beat. She said miscarriage risk is same as the average person at this stage, nothing to be concerned about.

Lovely to hear the scan went well and there's a little heartbeat. I think at this stage the dates/sizes are so hard for them as the little embryo is so so tiny xx

siobhanmt247 · 12/01/2024 13:33

Afternoon all. I'm feeling so hormonal today. I'm really upset by my partners reaction so far. He's made me feel stupid for thinking I'm pregnant before my period even though I've had about ten positive tests now and for the other pregnancy he was really supportive and wouldn't drink around me or anything but that's not happening this time. He's not even bothered I'm feeling pretty rubbish because he's got a cold so he's got it far worse apparantly. My mum died last month which made us really want to get pregnant as my mum would have been so happy but now Im just sad I can't talk to her about any of it. I should be excited about it all but i feel pretty awful

MudandMoet · 12/01/2024 13:50

@siobhanmt247 so sorry about your mum, that must have been so hard if you were close. If you've suffered a loss before and this is by no means any excuse but could it be that your partner is being difficult or not as sensitive right now due to him not wanting to get his hopes up too much in case it's another loss? Maybe he'll change and step up in a few weeks when you're past a certain stage? Hope you're okay xx

Megan004 · 12/01/2024 13:58

@siobhanmt247 aw so sorry to read this and about your mum, it’s a difficult time as it is with the worry of an early pregnancy and without support is really hard.
I was going to say the same as @MudandMoet maybe after the loss he can’t see it as a reality at the moment and doesn’t wanna get his hopes up just yet? But even so he should be supporting you still so it’s definitely worth pulling him up on! Emotions and hormones are high, so be kind to yourself. And if you both wanted the pregnancy I’m sure as the weeks go on the excitement will kick in x

siobhanmt247 · 12/01/2024 14:08

@Megan004 @MudandMoet we had a loss with our first at 9 weeks but then had Maisie. He didn't even like me running when I was pregnant the second time but now he doesn't seem to care. He says if I shake the baby up we can just get pregnant again. He's just come downstairs and saw I'm crying but won't tell him why so he stormed off annoyed
