Hi Ladies
Hope everyone has had a good weekend?
It is my OH's birthday today
Taking him out for a nice meal later
He doesn't know where I'm taking him
I'm feeling a bit more positive now about things
Spotting appears to have stopped, haven't had any since Saturday afternoon now
Saturday was a lot less than Friday too, only a tiny bit. So I am really hoping this was from implantation and things moving around in there pushed it out. I am feeling a lot more pregnant this time than last time already - keep getting waves of tiredness and am tending to go to bed a bit earlier already, have already had to get up in the night to pee a couple of times and have even had a few instances of very slight nausea!
Seen doc this morning too and confirmed this pregnancy. Doc was actually very good and very understanding of my anxieties after last time
. Before I said anything he said "you're probably wondering if I can get you in for an early scan?" I said yes. He has said he will try to get me one but can't promise the hospital will oblige. He said they are inundated with requests for early scans and, even with a history like mine, may well turn it down. Said he recommends waiting until I am about 7 weeks to make sure something can be clearly seen, which I expected anyway. He said he can't really call them until I am nearly 7 weeks or so as they'll just say it's way too early and turn him away, so asked me to call the surgery when I'm around 7 weeks as a reminder and he will call and see. Said if they agree, they will probably get me in the first next available appointment so should be within a few days or so from him calling
He told me not to worry, although he knows this is easier said than done, said that it is out of my control what happens and I don't need to do anything differently. So on docs orders I am going to try to relax a bit now
He didn't seem at all concerned about the bit of spotting I had, said that was very likely from implantation and is very common. I've left my number with reception for a midwife to call me to make a first appointment with her at 8-9 weeks or so, but my intention is to have had an early scan before then definitely. Do you ladies think it is worth me booking a private scan in case NHS turn me down?
PS: I attach a pic of 2 HPTs. The top one was my first one a week ago today with FMU. The bottom one is this morning at FMU. There seems to be a lot of progression to me??
I feel I need an early scan too to check there is just one
in there!
