I spent some time this evening convincing myself I was having an ectopic due to some one-sided pain, but I think it's probably just gas as it's not unbearable, it's intermittent and not getting worse. And my digestive system has got super slow so there's that.
@ToysRus56 It's normal for symptoms to fluctuate, but it's so worrying when you're feeling them less, isn't it?
@memorablemicker Congratulations. It's really a personal choice about testing. I'm not an overtester because it makes me more anxious. You can refer to NHS whenever you like. If you are likely to be high risk and you have medical conditions, it might just be worth doing it sooner rather than later so you can be sure you can get the right support early. Booking in appointments tend to happen between 8-10 weeks.
@RJF89 Congrats on hitting 6 weeks! Feels like such a milestone.
@sleepykt Sorry the test lines aren't bringing you the reassurance you want. They definitely don't tell the whole story, various things might be making your pee more diluted etc. Fingers crossed!
Congrats @DejaBump! Lots of us on here are pretty anxious, so you're in the right place!
@Katie2908 All sounds normal to me! That's a long shift, hope you manage to squeeze in some rest too.
@JasmineBloom Congrats and sorry for your loss. Enjoy the symptomless bit!
@Pregnantera Sorry about the sickness! It sounds sensible to tell work if you're struggling.
@Lollystar15 Congrats and sorry for your loss.
@Fluck I'd say tiredness and mood swings are definitely symptoms! I've also been eating more than usual then feeling guilty as I know they will weigh at the booking in appointment (all being well at that point). I've already told my manager but she's a friend and I decided not to go into the office one day because of spotting and was honest about it. She's had three miscarriages so was v. understanding. But she is also leaving so it didn't really feel like I was kicking anything into action. Do what feels right for you, but there definitely isn't any rush. So tricky navigating time out for appointments isn't it? I have the busiest week of my work year coming up when I'll be 8 weeks so hoping my booking in will be the week after! I think we're planning a scan at the end of the month but will be going for nearer 8 weeks than 6. Though tbh after tonight's worries I'm tempted to go for an earlier one.
