November 2025

[Esssa]

Anyone else for November 2025 yet? Technically I'm due Halloween but highly likely to be a first half of November baby assuming everything goes well. 3+6 today and I've known since Tuesday at 3+3! Roll on double figures and feeling a bit more secure in it all.

I felt like I was going a bit crazy the last couple of days with so many symptoms already 😅
That weird belly hangover feeling is exactly the words I was looking for to describe how I feel.
I'm unsure if I blocked it out the first time or if it's just so much harder with a toddler 😅

@SkaterChick congrats. I'm due the same time and will also have the baby in October. Also thyroid issues over here!

@SkaterChick it's been well over 4 years since I last felt it as a hangover consequence but it'd definitely the best I can describe it. I've a nearly 4yr old and a 1 3/4yr old to wrangle. It's only going to get worse I fear. Also supposed to be a birth partner for my sil in the next few weeks. Fingers crossed I get through it without vomming!

@DoraBella88 Same as me unfortunately, but I contacted my GP today to get blood test and referral to EPU (it's crazy it took 3 previous miscarriages for them to refer me)
Everything crossed for you 🤞 x

Sorry to hear it’s the same for you. It’s such a worrying time. Hope you get your referral and get seen quickly.

i called EPU this morning and told them I was told to call them as soon as I got a positive test again to get me on progesterone and she replied, “it doesn’t really work like that” erm no, I was assured to skip the GP because they were useless last time and come straight to them. She said I will get a call back today but I won’t hold my breath. When I was having complications after my last miscarriage they said they’d call me back and didn’t. Ended in me crying down the phone saying why won’t anyone help me to finally get seen.

so we shall see what today brings. Currently feeling good though

@DoraBella88 I had this with my last pregnancy. After my miscarriage prior the EPU consultant had written on my notes to be prescribed progesterone in a next pregnancy. But my GP wouldn't do this and had to refer me back to EPU, for them to prescribe the initial as they need to know dosage and pregnancy in right place, they couldn't see me until I would have been 8 weeks so I had a massive wobble and they squeezed me in early and I was on it from 6.5 weeks

@DoraBella88 sorry pressed send too soon! So I do think sometimes making a fuss does help especially when you've been told you can have something that may help. Fingers crossed you get a call back today

@Lemonyfire I’m so sorry you had to fight for it! Why say something when they don’t mean it. Glad you got there though. Did the progesterone help you?

I’ve just had a call back from a lovely nurse. She said she could see my notes but wanted me to explain what happened last time. I went through everything and ended up crying 🙈 she said she could hear it in my voice and has now gone off to speak to the powers above who will decided what to do. I said to her please help me, she said she would do everything she could for me. So feeling bit better. Just got to wait and see what they say now

Hi all, joining your thread very tentatively as I’ve literally just done a test which is positive and I have no one else to tell! I’m shocked as this was our first month trying and very scared it’s a false positive at this point so I’m going to do another test with FMU tomorrow and try and wait until then to tell My husband! If all works out, EDD will be 5th November.

3rd pregnancy technically, I had a miscarriage in 2021 and I have a daughter who is 2 so well aware it’s very early days and trying not to get my hopes up too much yet but it’s so hard!!

Congratulations all! I’m currently 4+3 and got my positive on a digital this morning. I was terrified to use a digital test as I know they’re not as sensitive and if it said not pregnant I would have been crushed. Feeling ok so far apart from super sore boobs and bloating that’s making me look 4 months pregnant already 😂

So sorry to read about everyone’s struggles, sending you all lots of baby dust! ❤

Congratulations to everyone, sorry to hear of the difficult losses people have had, wishing lots of baby dust to all.
I got a positive this morning, was surprised as thought I was past getting pregnant, but was feeling really nauseous and tired, and had got really hot in the night so thought I’d check just in case and then there was a line. Due date somewhere around the 7th I reckon. Have had 10 losses over about 7 years, and one healthy pregnancy, so chances aren’t on my side, but still really hoping this one is a healthy pregnancy.

Congratulations everyone! I'd been trying for exactly 3 years since the MC of a surprise pregnancy, and finally got a BFP last Thursday. I'm now 4 weeks with an EDD of 4th November. I'm very much taking each day as it comes and will get a CB weeks indicator at the weekend to check on HCG progression 🤞🤞🤞

Tested positive on Tuesday. 3 weeks 5 days I think. Can't wait to have a scan for some reassurance, anxiety is through the roof.

Thank you and Good luck, it's so frustrating isn't it.. when you know what your body needs and are looking for professional help and support.. fingers crossed you can a call back x

Hey everyone! Just joining the group as it’s so hard keeping it a secret from everyone (besides my partner) and I want to talk about it!! Found out last wednesday, making me about 4 + 2 right now and we have a 17 month old son! ☺️
wishing you all smooth pregnancies ❤️

Hi everyone & congratulations!
anyone experiencing or remember experiencing gurgling/gases and cramping very low in your stomach?
this is my 3rd pregnancy, 1st was an awful MC, 2nd was a threatened mc but thankfully he is a 3year old now, and hopefully this one will be his sister🤞
so worried about miscarrying again though and can’t help relating every symptom
I am 5w1 today
love and hope to you all xx

@DoraBella88 well done for pushing for it!

I do think it helped get me through the first trimester, I did lose her at 16 weeks but that was not related to progesterone etc

Congratulations everyone. So sorry to hear how many of us have experienced loss though. It’s just devastating.

@Lemonyfire im so sorry about your loss at 16 weeks. I keep thinking of if I can get to 12 weeks then we are safe but it just shows you’re not. I’m so so sorry.

@Aandk64 & @Lemonyfire i got the call back. The senior doctors said I don’t meet the guidelines for help right now 😢 so basically been told to get on with and it see what happens. Strangely I feel nervous but quite positive. I don’t know why. I feel fully aware it could all go wrong and I feel that way im protecting myself. If that makes sense.

Fingers crossed for us all. So how is everyone feeling. I’m 4 weeks today, feeling tired, hungry and peeing more 😂

@Ann95 I am! It mainly gurgles after I’ve eaten and sounds like a rumbling tummy, but very gassy and bloated. Still getting cramps now and then, which feel very similar to PMS, but they seem to come and go and feel lower into my pelvis this time. Sending you lots of love!

I had a missed miscarriage with my first pregnancy in December last year at 7+2 after seeing a heartbeat at 6 weeks and I was absolutely crushed, we both said we wanted to try again but not actively try, just take each month as it comes.. fast forward to yesterday morning, I bought some tests on Monday as I was feeling nauseous and had a bad tummy, but it didn’t feel like a stomach bug.
I have a good feeling about this baby, the tests are so much more obvious than at the start of my first pregnancy where you could barely see the line, but can’t help feeling anxious because I don’t want to get a false sense of security🥲

EDD 6th November

Hello everyone, another tentative joiner here. It's my first pregnancy and I feel like I have no knowledge and all the fears right now. I'll be 5 weeks tomorrow due right at the end of October.

So sorry to read about the losses on here 😔 wishing us all happy and healthy pregnancies

How frustrating 😤
What criteria do you need to meet? To be honest when I called them last month they told me it didn't meet the "criteria" of 3 miscarriages, but when they called me back I was having a chemical and they said that it counts as I registered the pregnancy straight away.. The criteria needs relooking at!! That's why I've take baby asprin this month until I can see EPU for advice. It's so annoying and frustrating 😒
Happy 4 weeks dd buddy x

Exactly the same with the 3 losses and lack of bleeding and pain at the moment. When I spoke with the nurse she said that the 3rd suspected miscarriage she would class it as one but I told her because I didn’t test the original pregnancy out then they won’t be able to class it as a new one as I didn’t get a negative test inbetween them. The specialists agreed it didn’t count so just got to get on with it.

interesting you said that it counts because you registered it straight away. I did that yesterday for the same reason. I’ve had my booking in appointment come through already for 28th March. I’ve also done a econsult request with my GP this morning requesting bloods so we shall see

how are you feeling?

Hi found out yesterday im due 2/11/25 if all stays safe and healthy this will be my 6th bundle of joy eeekkk 😝…hi ladies xx

How dark was everyone's positive line I was 3 days late so took test and it showed within seconds really dark lines does that mean im further along?
