Okay so I have a 4 year old girl
so I’m completely out the loop !
I found out I was pregnant with her when I was around 16 weeks ( during Covid )

ive just found out I’m 1-2 weeks ( according to the clear blue digital) haven’t a clue how many actual weeks .
I’ve brought the vitamins and filled in my online referral form for a midwife

my question is - how do you keep your mind off it until 12 weeks
omg my head is going insane !!!!
like worrying if this and that happens
I’ve never had to wait because I found out late with my first .
im driving my self insane !!!!!

I also have stage 4 endo
and a bicorn uterus
so I’m terrified something is going to go wrong

Going insane !

Congrats @Ellyx9 !

You could book a private scan for around 8 or 9 weeks?

Can they do that ?
honestly so out the loop anyone would think I’m a first time parent !
if clear blue says 1-2 online it says 3 so I’m not actually sure when to a book a private one for xx

When was the first day of your last period?

When was the first day of your last period?

I started on the 4th May but now I’m thinking was it actually a period because it was so light compared to what I normally have as I have endo and they are normally extremely heavy
and this one in May was light and brown at the end ( sorry too much information) but you know what I mean xxx

Okay so that's all they will go off anyway and it kind of ties in with the clearblue test. An online pregnancy calculator puts you at 3 weeks and 5 days. The 8th week (theoretically) would be the last week of June. I'd probably book a private scan for then! At least they can tell you if that is roughly the right gestation (this will be confirmed/changed at your 12 week scan).

You can of course book something sooner but you run the risk of not being able to see much at all!

Thank you I will definitely look into that
honestly the working out the dates confuses the hell out of me especially when finding out so early

thank you for your advice ☺️ xxx

Congrats!
I did a private scan to get through this period! I did it at 7 weeks so I knew whether at this point it was viable, rather than spend months wondering and waiting!

Congratulations! The CB 1-2 weeks is triggered by HCG of less than 153miu, so you’re probably anywhere from 3.5-5 weeks (I got my 2-3 weeks at 4+5). They tend to say not to go for a scan before 6 weeks because there’s a high chance of not seeing much.

Yes we saw a heartbeat. I think they recommend waiting till at least 7 weeks or more for a private scan. It’s tranvaginal at this point with a wand rather than external on your tummy.
we did our with Window to the Womb who I think are a national franchise

Oh wow !!!! I’m definitely going to do that
honestly I feel like I’m beating my self up worrying that something bad is going to happen because of my endo 😭
I feel like a new parent even tho I have a 4 year old hahaha I’ve forgotten everything
so I was thinking mid June maybe late June if my clear blue said 1-2 what would your recommendation be for when ? Xxx
