How are we all feeling ladies? I have to be honest - I'm struggling with anxiety myself after a MMC last time. I know all the stats and that it's more likely I'd know if something was wrong but still... have a lovely therapist who I'm thankfully talking to today. Have also skipped testing this morning as checking the line progression was sending me a bit mad. Have one last FRER which I'll do tomorrow or Saturday when there should hopefully be a clearer difference and then I'm done with them 🫠

@TrulyMiss how many dpo are you? I last did a test at 18dpo a few days ago but I'm tempted to do another in a few days for reassurance. I am 5 weeks today, got a horrible cold so that's not helping and my symptoms seem very strong but my anxiety still high. Just trying to keep busy and push the anxious thoughts out of my mind. That's great you've got a therapist to talk to about it, hopefully they can give you some tips for not getting too anxious

@Plumchumm just seen your messages. Please let us know, these early weeks are tough especially after a loss. Hope you get some reassurance soon ❤

I'm due beg of July. My daughter is beg August. A few of my friends have their 2 children at the same time of year too.
I had a miscarriage in August as well. Hoping this one goes better.
The epu told me to call them at 6 weeks to discuss early scan and progesterone

@MaSads I'm only 4+2, found out last Sunday. Seems like the longest week ever!! All she really recommended is distraction which I knew. Anyway, will just have to get through the next weeks until I can get some reassurance. Got my bloods done yesterday and will repeat tomorrow as I reckon it's more reliable than squinting at tests!!

Hi ladies, thank you for asking for me x

i have some updates: so after everyone’s advice yesterday I actually got worried about my brown spotting being ectopic related since I had an ectopic back in May.

The EPU already told me that next time I get pregnant, to call them and schedule an early scan so it can be ruled out. So I did all that when I scheduled my 8 and 12 week scans the other day - the early scan is scheduled for Friday next week.

But that was before spotting started. So I called them today to say about the spotting.

They told me to come in so they can do my HCG beta’s. If they’re high enough they’ll scan, otherwise they’ll keep testing every few days.

Today at 16dpo (4+2) my hcg was 304. I’m not sure if that is good but with my ectopic the levels were very very low. I’m scheduled in for Saturday to see if they double :)

This morning I also got a 2-3 on the weeks indicator, and line progression is continuing. Unfortunately the pale brown discharge is continuing, which is very triggering for me as it reminds me exactly of the ectopic (which I bled every day for about 8 weeks). I really hope there is some good news in the next few days x

Hi Everyone, hope its OK to join (anxiously and hesitantly) got a positive test today at 11 dpo, would love to know if this line looks OK? It wasn't with FMU so I know it won't be as dark, going to retest tomorrow, very anxious as had a chemical last month

Due July 2025
Plumchumm · 01/11/2024 11:12

@Anon224 welcome and congratulations on your bfp :) that line looks great and it’ll be even darker in the morning! X

ThePodParent · 01/11/2024 12:47

Sad story: bleeding today, so the clear blue weeks being behind was right! Alas.

Good luck to you all with your July babies 🥰🥰🥰 Wishing you all easy pregnancies and cute wiggly summer babies!

Maybe I'll have a late summer/autumn baby this time! 🍃 🍁 🍂

@Plumchumm keeping everything crossed for you. If it was ectopic, does that effect hcg levels? I hope the tests tomorrow are going in the right direction for you x

Thanks 🩷 yeah when I had my ectopic the levels didn’t double, they went up and down actually and stayed super low. So it would be like 60 one day, 80 the next day, 55, 70, etc. so hopefully we’ll see doubling tomorrow 🥺 fingers crossed 🤞🏻

I’m so sorry hun. Sending you so much love

Superscientist · 01/11/2024 15:28

@Plumchumm what to expect quotes 5 to 426 for 4 weeks pregnant so I would say in the 300s is good. Fingers crossed they increase at your next bloods

I'm 4+4 and was sick for the first time today 😔 I was hoping for a few weeks before it started. It started at 5-6 weeks with my daughter and 6 weeks with my miscarriage and I ended on antiemetics in both pregnancies

Thank you @plumchumm yes my test this morning was a good bit darker, the waiting is a killer, but great to have a thread like this with others in similar position

Hi 👋 found out last Friday that I'm pregnant with #2 so I'm around 5 +4 now, i also have a son whos 4 next week. Only symptoms so far are extremely sore boobs, really tired around 2/3pm and the occasional light cramps. Got an early scan booked for 2 weeks time 🤞🏻

Hiya! I found out Monday and I’m 5+2 so think my due date is 2nd July? This is also #2 for me, my little boy has just turned two. I’m also tired in the afternoons with odd cramps and sore boobs but no symptoms other than that! I’ve also been debating an early scan so think I might book one too xx

Ahh yes I think I'm due around the 3rd/4th July so pretty much the same! We're you trying for long? It was our 6th month trying x

Hi everyone, I hope it's OK to join in! We've been ttc for 18 months now and 2 months off starting IVF....and had a BFP today 😱 not telling anyone in real life yet so just needed to tell somebody! I'm only on 4wks today so very early days and keeping everything crossed 🤞

LifeonMarss · 01/11/2024 21:33

I also got my bfp today, I’m only 11 days PO and last period was 4th October but I felt so sick I decided to do a test then sent DH out for the clear blue one just to confirm🤣 think I’d be due around the 15th July so still very early, think I’d be about 4 ish weeks today?
this is our first month ttc so it’s all still feeling a bit surreal because we just assumed it would never happen first try
hope everyone’s feeling okay and wishing happy healthy pregnancies and babies!!

Ladies, can someone offer a bit of advice or help please😞 im probably around 4 weeks today but have had some sharp, shooting pains in my lower right abdomen (same as where i felt ovulation cramps). They aren’t super painful, just a few seconds long, and mainly when i get up from sitting. Have only had it a few times, but given our MC earlier this year everything worries me! Does anyone have any helpful words? 🩷

Ruixue358 · 02/11/2024 08:54

Congrats @LifeonMarss !!According to my LMP i should be 13 July! Same as when i was pregnant with my DS who was born 6 days later on 19th🤭 so if this baby sticks we will have a busy July next year!

17nic · 02/11/2024 08:56

No advice as this is my first positive test, but hugs @Ruixue358 didn't want to read and run! For mine using the nhs calculator it's the 10th July 🤞
