Unfortunately I’ve started bleeding today. Wishing you all so much love and happiness in your June baby journey and will forever be sad to not be a part of it xxxxx

Can i just ask. If anyone else feels like they're being dramatic and anxious about work. I honestly feel like I couldnt even get up off sofa, feel sick all the time and just want to get a sick note. But feel so guilty and dramatic over it? Because other women just cracked on? But it's bringing me really down. Im tearful a lot. I wake up and feel sick till about 12pm, and just think I couldnt look after another sick patient in this state? But then part of me is like no you need to suck it up?

Katie2908 · 17/10/2025 11:02

@sleepyktim so sorry. Im really sorry. Please look after yourself 💓

@luhbyi haven't had a loss so couldnt understand. But my friend was in a similar situation but on the opposite side. So she was pregnant, unexpected and she always was told she couldnt have kids so never bothered trying but then fell pregnant. Her best friend had been trying for years and actively avoided her during her pregnancy and even had a go at her for posting so much stuff on social media. My friend was very upset as she said she can't control her situation or her friends and could understand why it would upset her friend, but said that doesn't mean she can't be happy, and it made her sad she has basically lost her best friend at the happiest time of her life.

I would say, at Christmas you will be over the 12 week mark and if you feel up to it, announce your pregnancy then and try to celebrate with them and look forward to this baby. I do agree though you should also protect your peace and boundary if you need it.

@sleepykt I’m so sorry. Sending hugs 💓

@Katie2908 with my first pregnancy I had an awful first trimester with nausea, fatigue and food aversions. Luckily I worked from home bar one day a week as I could barely get off the sofa, and after work was having long naps and still slept all night from earlier than usual. If I was office based full time or something like a shop or clinical setting I’d have needed time off sick. This time I’ve no symptoms yet and only a bit more tired than usual but also my toddler has a cold so hasn’t been sleeping great so could be that. All pregnancies are different even for the same women, don’t feel guilty for needing rest and feeling like shit, it just is like that sometimes.

I’m waiting for my symptoms to kick in because I can’t quite believe I haven’t got them yet after my last experience. I even retested because of it. Whatever kind of pregnancy you have there’s always something to worry about in my experience 🙈

RJF89 · 17/10/2025 12:14

@sleepykt so sorry, look after yourself, hoping 2026 is still your year 💓

luhby · 17/10/2025 13:44

@sleepykt I'm so sorry 😔. Please take care of yourself xx.

@Lollystar15 Yeah, I totally get it. I'm happy that they will increase their family, and it's something they really wanted. But it's like a constant reminder of my loss, so I prefer to preserve myself.

@Katie2908 I understand your friend. She had every right to be happy and to share that happiness as much as she wanted. However, I also understand that it could be triggering for her friend. Still, I would never tell someone to stop expressing their happiness because of me. If something isn’t good for my well-being, I would simply stop looking at it. I have a close friend who is also struggling with secondary infertility, and I’m very aware that she might not feel as happy for me as she would have if she weren’t going through this.

I will wait and see how this pregnancy goes. Last time I was going to announce it to the wider family at their wedding, but what happened was that I had a loss one week before and had to sit through all their gender reveal and showing baby ultrasound instead.

I’ve made a group for anyone who fancies it and will leave the link here if people want to join later on.
I could only make it as a community, rather than a group chat without anyone to add straight away! But it works the same, you can just pin the chat so you don’t have to click through.

I would really love to join a WhatsApp group, but I can’t seem to get into it, is this the correct link? Is it working?

Aquariussuncereseris · 17/10/2025 16:12

Hi! Hope I’m not too late to join! I had a very faint line at 12DPO and been testing ever since (someone please stop me 😅). I’m due June 24th.

It was such a surprise for us, I still don’t think I fully believe it. We’ve been TTC for a long time, battled through endo, low morphology and one blocked tube, and during our last fertility check up we’re told that we had no options but IVF (self funded due to age). Then, the day after I just had a feeling and decided to test.

I’ve made the self referral and just waiting now. I’m wondering if I should go for an early private scan since I’ll be on holiday during weeks 10-13 🤷‍♀️

Absolutely not! Every woman is different. I'm one of those who "just gets on with it" and yes, I'm feeling a bit worse for wear but I'm not sick (and I wasn't with my last pregnancy either) and I can make it through the day without a nap (but I am going to bed really early when I can).

This is to say, that you're not being dramatic. You just have it worse than the people you see "getting on with it".

Pregnantera · 17/10/2025 17:54

@sleepykt i’m so sorry for your loss. Sending all my love to you and praying that you get your rainbow baby soon. Take care of yourself and take the time to heal.

@Katie2908 I don’t think you are dramatic. I have wanted to call in sick every day this week. I didn’t because I had last week as holiday so was trying so hard not to. My GP has given me some anti sickness tablets now and hoping I start to feel a bit better soon.

Fluck · 17/10/2025 18:11

@sleepykt so sorry 💐

@JHpr I've just clicked the link and it’s let me join - odd how it’s not working for you? There are 10 people (inc me) so far

I've caved and booked an early scan for next Friday when I’ll be 7 weeks. I just don’t feel pregnant at all. No symptoms really (I do have tiredness and seen more emotional but that’s it - no nausea or sore boobs gah!!). I go on holiday the next day so it’s going to be really, really shit if it’s bad news but I just need to know. I also know it’s a snapshot in time but if I can see a heartbeat I know I’ve got much less chance of miscarrying. Never had a vaginal scan - is that what it’s called ha - so not particularly looking forward to that!

sparklerr · 17/10/2025 20:50

@sleepyktI’m so sorry for your loss.

ShieldMaiden87 · 17/10/2025 22:45

I think I might be joining I think I just got a faint positive I have no idea when period is due as so irregular 😣

RJF89 · 18/10/2025 17:49

Hi everyone, had my early scan today and all looks good, we got to see the heartbeat 💓 Didn't need to do transvaginal. It's put my mind at easy after the brown and pink light spotting but I'm 2 days into the thrush pessaries now and haven't had any brown since Thursday and the pink now looks like germonlene so I'm even more sure it's just the thrush. They measured 6 weeks and 3 days, so 2 days behind my ovulation date but I was prepared for it to be behind as it seems like they often are. So new due date is 10th June 😊I've got my booking appointment on Tuesday so at least I can let the midwife know I'm a week earlier than the LMP date they automatically use.

Symptom wise I had the worst nausea so far last night, and only wanted to eat prawns with Marie rose sauce 😂Definitely feeling tired too, haven't run in a week as the nausea has been quite on/off. How's everyone else feeling?

ManifestSunshine · 18/10/2025 18:36

How is everyone doing?

@sleepykt sorry for your loss

@RJF89 congratulations on your scan

@ShieldMaiden87 @Aquariussuncereseris and anyone else I missed congratulations on your positives

@Pregnantera @Katie2908 sorry you're feeling rough, hope it passes soon

I've got some xonvea prescribed by the GP for nausea and vomiting, took it for the first time last night and it helped a lot with the nausea but totally knocked me out! My wife is away for work Mon-Weds and I don't think I can take it as will need to look after the kids and drive to do the school run etc. It was a shame as it was magic to be about to eat something and really enjoy it this morning after 3 weeks of near constant nausea. I think I'll try taking a half dose tonight and see how that goes.

RJF89 · 18/10/2025 19:37

@ManifestSunshine good to hear the xonvea worked, hopefully a half dose will help well your wife is away 🤞🏻

Niknak8493 · 18/10/2025 19:57

Hello! I found out I was pregnant 4 days ago, going by my dates I should be 4 weeks today due date 27th June. I’m very nervous rand don’t want to get too excited as I had a miscarriage 14 weeks ago so yeah mixed emotions (obviously happy) but don’t want to jinx it x

Pregnantera · 19/10/2025 13:09

@RJF89 so pleased that the scan went well for you and that it wasn’t internal!! Must feel reassuring after your scare this week. I had a craving for Marie Rose sauce without prawns, wonder what it is with that sauce?

@ManifestSunshine i’ve been prescribed cyclizine and it has worked wonders for the sickness. I’m eating a little bit more and as a result have more energy and able to do that bit more. I’m glad I went to the doctors.

thereisajellyfish · 19/10/2025 16:43

Can I join you ladies? I’m due on the 6th with our 3rd

ManifestSunshine · 19/10/2025 21:00

@Niknak8493 @thereisajellyfish welcome and congratulations!

@Pregnantera glad the cyclizine is working for you! I've been prescribed it previously and it didn't do a lot for me. The Xonvea worked well but I have to do the school run in the morning so can't take it tonight as it makes me too sleepy.

DesertSnow · 19/10/2025 22:47

I went a bit quiet as after absolutely no nausea at all it has hit with an absolute vengeance and I've been struggling a bit. Last pregnancy I was nauseous until about 23 weeks but was only actually sick 3 times, but this time I've been vomiting in my mouth which has been delightful especially when in public. I'm also absolutely shattered which is not exactly new for me as I have chronic insomnia, but it's definitely more of a struggle than usual with my toddler. I've also got a strong aversion to anything sweet. I had this in my last pregnancy too so it's not unfamiliar territory and probably a good thing! Normally I have such a sweet tooth.

On Saturday I freaked out a bit as I had some brown streaked discharge but it seems to have been a one off so far. If it comes back I'll call EPU but research suggests it's not uncommon at this point. Fingers crossed. Symptoms very strong, which I guess is reassuring. I see @RJF89 you had a similar incident - one of the things I read was that it could be old implantation bleeding making its way out, which can happen at around 6 weeks. Congrats on your scan! Your new due date is my birthday 😀

I'm so sorry to read your update sleepykt - I don't want to tag you and pull you back in to the thread but if you read this I really hope a 2026 baby is still in your future.

@Katie2908 I don't think you're dramatic - pregnancy is so much to handle and affects basically every aspect, your body is doing so much, you have hormones to contend with, anxiety and that's all on top of anything else you've got going on in your life. Go easy on yourself. Pregnancy is dramatic!

Glad the meds have helped @ManifestSunshine I'm tempted to ask GP for something but I don't think I could risk being any more exhausted than I already am.

Congrats and welcome @sparklerr, @luckwhy, @Aquariussuncereseris (fellow endo lady over here), @ShieldMaiden87, @Niknak8493 ,@thereisajellyfish and anyone I've missed!

Newhere1993 · 20/10/2025 07:24

Hello

I found out I was pregnant at the weekend after an early test being negative last week. It looks like we should be due on 23rd June! This will be our second as we currently have a 9 month old 🙈

Sorry to hear about sickness and nausea for people I remember it very clearly from last time for a lot of my pregnancy and hoping this time it might be different. But there are no dramatics in it, I remember just having a shower or eating a meal being a major achievement in a day but I luckily 90% of the time WFH so just laid on my sofa with my laptop doing whatever I could. But my midwife told me at the first appointment to get down to the doctors as they have drugs for everything in pregnancy and that took the edge off it.

It was lovely going on the journey with a Mumsnet group on WhatsApp last time so good to be able to join a group again xxx

RJF89 · 20/10/2025 19:40

@Pregnantera Glad your feeling better! Just had my second dinner of prawns and Marie rose sauce 😂

@DesertSnow Hopefully your spotting was a one off, I had a bit of red when I wiped yesterday afternoon (the two brown strings were also in the afternoon 🤔) but I'd really struggled getting the pessary in the night before and I've had none since, and the pessary bits aren't coming out with a pink tinge anymore so I'm hoping it was the thrush and now I'm 4 pessaries now with 2 to go I won't get anymore frights 🤞🏻The EPU said to call if it soaks through a lad so I'm inclined to think at this stage they don't want to see me unless they're confirming a miscarriage which I understand because there's not much they can do but it would have been good for them to say that on the first phone call!

Booking appointment tomorrow at 6 weeks 6 days as they're going by my LMP and think I'm further along. Still feels like a milestone actually seeing a midwife!

Niknak8493 · 20/10/2025 19:48

I’m really struggling with being tired, I was so tired earlier that the only time I could get a quick Power Nap was when I got to my daughters work 20 minutes early and slept in the car. I’m just starting to feel small pings of nausea. I’m so conscious of every twinge. It’s so hard because I literally can’t talk to anyone about it. I’m not telling family until I’m at least 14 weeks and my partner is also nervous so it’s like he’s happy but he doesn’t want to talk about it, like we will jinx it if we mention I’m even pregnant. I feel like this is going to be the longest 9 weeks just getting to (fingers crossed) the first scan.

RJF89 · 20/10/2025 20:46

@Niknak8493 I'm wary of telling people too (this is my first pregnancy), my husband thinks I'd have less anxiety if I told my mum but I know she didn't have any spotting in her 3 pregnancies and no miscarriages so I feel like there's a chance she'd just end up making me freak out more 😅 She's coming to stay when I'll be 9.5 weeks so I probably will tell her then as the next chance to tell her in person will be at the end of December. There's not much to do but tick off the days.
