I have found out VERY early that I am pregnant and due early June (I am only 10dpo today) and found out yesterday I am pregnant (22 Sept)

Wanted to start this thread for those of you who have also just found out :) I found the thread when I was pregnant with my son super helpful!

I'm Lexie, 32, have a 14 month old son so am just squeezing in 2 under 2 :)

I'm still hanging on in there, I've Joe made it further than the previous pregnancy which was at 5 weeks (I'm 5+3 according to Flo). I only seem to be nauseous when I'm laying in bed which is resulting in being up ridiculously early..

My booking in appointment is 07/11 which seems ages away. That's my next target, reach that date. I'm hoping to be more cheerful on this thread soon as I know all of you are excited and don't want to read my trepidation

We haven't told 3.5 year old about this yet and prob won't until I can show him scan pics.

You are a few days ahead of me, but I feel exactly the same. I hope this pregnancy will go smoothly for you!

But I also want to see a scan with a heartbeat first before I get excited. At the moment it's all just constant low levels of anxiety. Similarly, although I have talked about IVF stuff to adults in front of him, I haven't actually told my toddler there might be a baby coming (and as he's 2.5, I assume he won't understand words like "embryo transfer" and "pregnancy test"..).

Hi all :)

I'm due in June - around 6 weeks now ( I fell pregnant on the pill so unsure entirely)

This is baby no. 5. I had hyperemesis with my last and paranoid about it happening again.

Early scan next week and midwife on the 1st! It's going so fast but could be the fact I have to run around after haha.

How is everyone else getting on?

What symptoms has everyone got? I'm 4w1d (15dpo) and got a bit of cramping this evening, only lasted a few seconds but it definitely makes you worried. Other symptoms so far is a metallic taste on and off and sore nipples!

6 week now - VERY sore nipples. Not sleeping / vivid dreams. Nausea. Smells are now a big issue. Tired.

Hi everyone, I'm 6w5d today and I've been so under the weather the last 2 weeks, my immune system is on its arse 😓 still haven't had my booking in appointment or 12 week scan through! Going to have to phone the midwife when she's in on Friday 🙃

MittensForKittens123 · 15/10/2024 09:55

I’m 5+6 today and I’ve had some light pink when I wipe. I’m still testing strong on tests, and have all the symptoms I’ve been having.

Has anyone else had this, or have any success stories after this?

amichel · 15/10/2024 10:13

@MittensForKittens123 I'm experiencing the exact same! Pink on tissue last night around 11pm. Still pink/dark pink when wiping but nothing has really come out. I think I have thrush. I've called the doctors for some advice and they're going to call back this morning. I would love to have a private scan today but they won't do one before 6 weeks🥺x

MittensForKittens123 · 15/10/2024 10:35

@amichel I had the tiniest bit last night before bed, then none this morning. A little when I came back from nursery drop off, and it seems to have gone now. I’ve been quite panicked.

I had thought to wait til 8 weeks for an early scan, but wondering about trying to get a slot on Friday now. We’re away next week, so I don’t want to be worrying about things, not sure what to do for the best.

Hope the GP is useful.

Angelselevenx · 15/10/2024 10:42

Currently 5+3 and still feeling pretty normal, had a few symptoms like out of breath, tiny cramps but they've subsided now, tiredness and sore boobs/nipples but other than that I feel okay. Anyone else feeling pretty ok this early on?

amichel · 15/10/2024 10:48

@MittensForKittens123 I hope it stays away! Sounds promising that it's gone away. Mines still coming out just very slowly. It's pink and not red so fingers crossed it stays light.

I think the longer you wait the better chances are of seeing baby. The woman said 6 weeks would be the earliest. I'd book one now if I could x

CM123baby · 15/10/2024 10:58

Last night I started to get pain in my left groin, it’s still there this morning 😞 has anybody else had this ? I’ve had a previous ectopic so I’m praying it’s not that again! It doesn’t feel similar to the ectopic, I’m only just 5 weeks so not sure what it could be xx

Bewildened · 15/10/2024 12:06

@MittensForKittens123 fingers crossed all will be ok. I’ve had spotting in several pregnancies, both the ones that worked out and the ones that didn’t, so it doesn’t really mean anything. With my DC2 I actually had a massive bleed and days of cramps but all was fine. There isn’t really anything you can do at this early stage so keep positive!

HannahLeanne · 15/10/2024 12:15

Hi all, I had my first positive last Friday (11th) which was super strong. It was a shock (good shock) as I had IVF with my first child and didn’t think we could conceive naturally. It’s made me very anxious as I wasn’t taking prenatal vitamins and was having a few drinks the weekend before! I’m not exact on dates but think I’m due around 17th June. I’ve been having a lot of cramping yesterday and today which I don’t seem to remember with my first. I had such sore/full boobs last week which seem to have eased today too. Has anyone else had their boobs go less sore? Panicking - please help! X

HannahLeanne · 15/10/2024 12:16

This is how dark my tests were when I found out. I’m going to get another one today to do tomorrow for reassurance I think

@HannahLeanne your tests look so good! I had a week of really faint lines some not visible at all on easy at home, so I’ve been so anxious! The past 3 days I’ve had much stronger lines using clearblue, my period was due on Sunday and I’m about 4 weeks and 4 days now! Praying for sticky babies for us all! This is my test from this morning

HannahLeanne · 15/10/2024 12:59

@Sobersally congratulations 🥳 that looks very clear to me! Have you got many symptoms?

Omg they are fantastic lines, dye stealer and all! I think you should try and relax ☺️ I wouldn't stress about the symptoms, mine come and go especially the sore boobs! I can't even remember having sore boobs early when I was pregnant with my son I had a scan today and all ok 🙂x

HannahLeanne · 15/10/2024 13:44

@Daniki aw thank you for the reassurance. I’m going to book a scan in the next couple of weeks, once I see a heartbeat I’ll feel much more at ease. Glad yours went ok today xx

Angelselevenx · 15/10/2024 13:45

@Daniki that's great news! How many weeks are you now? I've got a scan booked for 7w but in two minds to book one at 6w x

Daniki · 15/10/2024 13:46

@Angelselevenx so I'm measuring behind, I should 7+1 but I'm 6+4. Had a lovely scan today compared to my "reassurance" on with the hosp on Friday 🙈 it was awful and rough and left my with awful anxiety all weekend but lovely app today! If I was you I'd try and hold out closer to 7 weeks so you will see more! ❤️ xx

Angelselevenx · 15/10/2024 14:05

@Daniki thats lovely news, yeah my worry was going to soon and then spending a week worrying. Maybe I'll wait 😅. Have you got many symptoms? X

codemytea · 15/10/2024 14:06

@Angelselevenx @HannahLeanne - my symptoms were really bad before I knew and then till up to about 5+1wks and since then nothing really. At 6+4wks now and still doing fine. I know I should be feeling relief that I've got none of the worse symptoms, but then at the same time at least then I'd know that something was up! Starting to feel like I've been imagining it all :D

Good luck with everything! I've got a scan tomorrow so fingers crossed everything is where it should be.

codemytea · 15/10/2024 14:09

@CM123baby I'd ring your EPU up and see if you can get a scan just to check if it's still going on. I hope all ends up well!

HannahLeanne · 15/10/2024 14:17

@codemytea thanks for replying. It’s reassuring to hear your symptoms eased too. Hoping your scan goes smoothly tomorrow!

amichel · 15/10/2024 14:32

I rang the doctors this morning to explain I've got spotting and thrush like symptoms. The hospital rang me just and have booked me in for a scan tomorrow. I won't even be 6 weeks. The woman said if nothing shows on the scan they'll take bloods and repeat the bloods 2 days later to check hcg levels x
