🎇 Due November 26 🎆

[iwasgonnasay]

Welcoming all those who have received their BFPs for a November bubba - congratulations to all!
I felt terrified as not really TTC #2 but thanks to support from the kind ladies of MN I’ve decided to embrace and be excited.

34, baby #2, probably keeping it a surprise(?!) mum to a 7yo DS, hoping only 1 in there as only 3 weeks today and heft symptoms already

@PepperPot88 congrats! Here's hoping it's a sticky one for you! How many DPO are you? Super strong line 😍🌟

@Peachesthecat I have a scan on Monday and more bloods to see if everything is going ok still🤞🏻

@CrazyKJ I'm sorry you're feeling in limbo. How bad are the cramps? It could just be everything adjusting and your uterus getting busy. Stay strong, for now you're pregnant. Hopefully you get an appointment soon. Big hugs ❤️ x

@Taysonic sending my love to you and hoping you have a positive outcome ❤️

@DorsetGirl89 thanks for your kind wishes. No more bleeding today 🤞 how are you! X

Us women are bloody amazing really, aren't we? We're all here, at the start of a huge uncertain journey, with god knows what back stories that have led us to this point. A group of strangers that support, hope, believe and encourage each other.

Really didn’t want to cry any more today! ❤️❤️❤️🥰

Absolutely. Well said. There is so much love and support here, it's really beautiful ❤️

How are you today? How many DPO are you? Are tests still looking strong? ❤️🤞🏻

@DorsetGirl89

I did IVF, so 10 days past 5 day embryo is equivalent to 15dpo. It’s my 6th transfer and 7th embryo. One didn’t make it through the transfer. It’s been a tough couple of years. I hope it sticks to and the wait to my 7 week scan seems so long away. It’s not even official test day until tomorrow then I’ll be 4 weeks and 3 days.

Everyone seems to be having a hard time. @Peachesthecat That sounds very stressful being told different things.

@Sj2505 thank you! Ive not been given one yet, they cant be overly worried as they've not responded to my message 😂 and the pain has gone today so im not overly worried either tbh. More just trying my luck for an early scan.

Sorry to read everyone's struggles 💕 I have ADHD so i struggle to keep on top of all the messages and notifications but I'm thinking of all of you who are going through an anxious wait 💕

Congratulations! Xx

So I'm 5wks today, or 21dpo I guess. The heavy cramping and bleeding from yesterday has tapered off but I'm still fairly convinced this pregnancy is over. I'm still taking progesterone as a precaution but as soon as it's clear that hcg levels are coming down, I'll stop. And then I imagine the proper bleed will start.

Finding it difficult to eat or drink much today. Grief does funny things to you, doesn't it?

@Taysonic I'm so sorry, I want to offer words of hope, and I personally still think there may be hope, but I know you've had so much heartache and want to prepare yourself for the worst, I totally understand that. I'm holding you in my heart and praying for the best. Over the last 6 months, long after I left the forums I have always remembered your kindness, wisdom and warm spirit, so many of your words of support have stuck with me through the difficult times I faced. I hope beyond hope that you get your happy news soon, even if you're sure it's not this time, keep strong. 🙏🏻❤️✨

Im so sorry 😞 this really is such turmoil when it doesn’t go as we hope. ❤️❤️

The cramps aren’t too painful at the moment,
so I would really love that to be the case! 🤞
Thank you ❤️

Sending lots of love. @Taysonic

This is making me so happy 😁 I know it's still early, but this is the first time I've ever had this, its giving me so much hope. I've had no more bleeding since Monday and the tests are now dye stealers, so I feel like I can take a breath and trust that for now everything is going well. I don't want to get my hopes up too much, as never even getting this far, I don't know what might still be to come, but optimism is my friend right now 🤞🏻❤️🌟

Oh I’m so pleased for you!!!!!! It’s such a relief to see that and does give peace of mind!!!! Amazing start to the weekend xxxx

That’s amazing!

official test day!

So exciting @PepperPot88 😍❤️🌟

Hi everyone! Hope I’m here to stay 🙏
I got a positive on FRER yesterday at 11DPO and also 1-2 weeks on CB digital. Going off last period I’m 4wk2days.
Hoping someone can put my mind at rest… my son (6) stood on my lower stomach by accident this morning in bed and it really hurt. It’s not painful now (2hrs later) but i can still feel it, or maybe I can’t and it’s in my mind because I’m panicking. I’ve not had any cramps or bleeding but I’m so anxious 😕

Oh bless you, I can imagine that's scary, but I sincerely doubt that could have caused any issues at this stage. The embryo is so small and clearly already implanted and it's protected by so much tissue, muscle, fat. I really wouldn't worry at all ❤️🌟

Hi 👋 I am 5w 4days I had very light nauseas last week that are completely gone ( got Clear Blue 3+ at 4w 5d) I had nauseas all the way through with my daughter .. Something is telling me I am not longer pregnant due to the lack of nauseas (only some cramping here and there).
I called the EPU and they booked me in for an early scan 6w 2d, I know next Thursday is not that far away, I am really trying to take my mind off it.

I know every pregnancy is different .. but looking forward for my nauseas to start 😆

how are you guys copping with the wait?

@Elena88 I'm sorry you're so anxious, try not to worry, your nausea could've been your body getting used to the initial sudden rise in hormones, and now it's levelling out a bit. Every pregnancy is different, so you might not have as much sickness this time round anyway. Do you have other symptoms? Have you got any other tests to reassure yourself HCG is 3+ weeks? If you've not had any bleeding I wouldn't worry, do you have a past history of MC? Tuesday will come in no time and I'm sure you'll have very reassuring news. It's an incredibly anxious time, we have to remember to breathe, look after ourselves and relax, stress is bad for us and baby. Lots of hugs ❤️🌟 xx

@DorsetGirl89

I haven’t done any more home test - only the one day after my period was due ( my periods are very regular though straight away I might be pregnant ) and then few days after to confirm Clear Blue with the 3+ . I don’t want to get into taking many test, it’s not for me, I rather have an assessment done.

I am glad NHS was happy to test my HCG on Friday (no results) and they will do another one on Monday to check the progression is there, also followed by an early scan at 6w 2d.

I heard many women get turn down for bloods / scans unless they have a history of issues.
I guess they could sense I was anxious/ scared, but I would just encourage everyone that it’s feeling a bit down and unsure to contact their local EPU they are there to support us in this journey.

They told me my bloods results will be probably ready the same day as my scan on Thursday so I will know either way- it’s a waiting game now a 5 days count down.

All my symptoms today are very light cramping - I will try to stay positive & busy until I am told otherwise

Hey I tested with a weeks indicator and got 2-3 weeks today. Due date is 8th November. Feeling positive with this as last year I only got 1-2 weeks. I have a 5 year old and have had 3 miscarriages so really hoping this is as sticky one.

hope all goes well for everyone wishing all the best in this journey.

Congrats @YourGreyDuck hoping this is a sticky one for you 🤞🏻❤️✨
