Don't give up! I spotted with 2 of my boys, one was more like a little bleeding that lasted for 3 weeks! The other for 3 days and here they are, happy and healthy. It might not be anything. Maybe a scan will put your mind at ease?

Honestly, I have no idea. I have my first appt with the nurse this Friday & I won't even get to see a dr. It won't be till next week that I FINALLY see a dr & hopefully get a scan. I'm thinking next week I'll be 15 weeks so I'm just going to pay 4 a private scan. Not so much 4 gender but to see if I'm having two babies or not!! Lol I have the weirdest gut feeling that something is off this time. Plus the dreams of twins I've had from waaaaay be4 the idea even entered my head. Something with this pregnancy isn't jiving with me lol I can't get a sense 4 the sex @ all but!! I do get a sense that I have "possibly maybe" more then one baby in there. Don't know if that makes any sense or not- that's just how I feel.
Here where I live you can't even get an appt to see the dr till your 10+ weeks. Then @ around 12-13 weeks is when they do the NT scan. I'm going on 14weeks on Wednesday {good lord time is flying} & I FINALLY was just able to get an appt this Friday. The good thing is that since Xmas is coming I've been SUPER BUSY planning 4 that I haven't had time to stress about not getting an appt sooner.
Congrats GT! Knew everything would be okay. And double congrats on your baby girl :) x
Welcome Little Lunasa!
Thinking about you Isabella, praying everything will be okay.
Good luck for Wednesday Dreaming! Will be so nice for you to see your baby )or babies!)
Yes similar health system to here. Good idea keeping busy planning a lovely Christmas! Best of luck on wed :)

Momof3- can I ask you how many dpo you tested positive on a urine test?
What kind of symptoms do you have?
For me symptoms started BEFORE I got a positive! I wrote everything down so that I would have it. 6dpo I woke up twice to pee cuz I had to go soooooo bad!! @ 4:30am if I didn't run to the BR I would've had accident in bed lol I went back to bed & I was hit with nausea out of left field!!! I was thinking WTF lol then same day @ evening I was nauseous again. 8dpo I tested positive on a dollar tree test lol again, I was thinking- this is so weird it can't be right. Line was faint but u could see it without having to squint lol then @ 10dpo I got another positive on a clear blue digi. Since then I think I've been hit with EVERY symptom from heartburn, indigestion, @ 6 weeks I looked like I was 16 weeks, bloated, exhaustion, sleepiness, tired, on & on lol my belly is big for 13 weeks & I still have nausea, vomiting, shortness of breath, & exhaustion. & those dreams of twins that have come to me since I got my positive.
Dreaming, at about 6dpo my breast felt heavy and I was using the bathroom way more than ever! 7dpo I couldn't get enough to drink. All I wanted was water and I HATE water lol Same thing on 8dpo. I was 9dpo and my breasts hurt SO bad that I took a test and it was a faint positive. 10 dpo tested again and it was a DARK positive and I always test until I am out of tests so I tested again on a few more days in a row and the actual test line came up before the control line! That seemed kind of weird to me but knowing now I just had a LOT of Hcg in my system it makes sense. I tested with First Response early readers. I didn't test earlier than 9dpo only because I was not looking forward to seeing a negitive. When I talked to the my Dr she said when they did my blood work at my first appointment (4 weeks 2 days) that I had a high hcg level but didn't say anything about it possibly being twins. I was NEVER sick with my 3 boys so when everything started to make me sick to my stomach my husband and I started joking that there must be twins in there. Other than that I have had more pulling dull cramps this time then last 3. Dr said that's normal with twins early. Oh and I read somewhere that you will get bigger faster with Fraternal Twins than Identical because there are two separate sacks. I would try to get in as soon as I could to see what is going on in there. You will be watched more if you have twins or more so I would see how soon I could get a scan. Where are you located that it takes so long? I had first appointment at 4w2d, ultrasound at 6w and I have another on the 23 of December when I will be 10w3d. Just seems crazy to me that you still haven't seen anyone :( I would go insane waiting!!!!!!!
GT SOOOOOOOOO happy for you!! Congrats on your great news!!!!!!
Isabella, I hope it is just that - spotting. It's fairly common in early pregnancy x
GT-i am so over the moon happy for u!
Isa-this is how my early loss started.it could be nothing though.get your hcg level checked.mine started @ 16.9 then two days later dropped to 5.1 so they knew the pregnancy failed.stick bean stick!
Thanks ladies for all your kind words, but this morning I had full blown bleeding with cramping and lots of clots. I called the nurse to let her know. The doctor called me back with my hcg results and they had dropped to 3.5. So he said it's definitely an early miscarriage. Hopefully, I will be joining a due date group someday soon. DH came home for lunch and he's upset too and being very sweet & supportive. He says we can try again! Wishing you ladies all happy & healthy pregnancies!!!!
I am so sorry Isabelle! This really isn't fair. You will get pregnant again very quickly I promise. I pray for you.
Me 2!!!!!!! water water water!!! Lol I'm not even a water drinker! Since I got pregnat I drink it like it's the BEST thing in the world!!! I love sparkling water to & be4 I couldn't stand it lol I'm in the United States but, the DRs where I live won't see you till after 10weeks. I asked DH if we can do a private scan & he said of course!!! :) so tomorrow I'll go online & start looking to see who can see me @ 14weeks. Like i said in a past post I don't care about gender that much I just want to see how many are in there! Lol today my 3yr old sat on my lap facing me & counted 3 babies & pointed to where each one was. I couldn't help but just crack up laughing. DH said- OMG can u imagine??? I said NO WAY ill faint lol oh!! Be4 I 4 get {cuz I've been so forgetful lately} 8dpo when I tested positive I was cramping HORRIBLE :( I really though I was going to have another MC then again I had bad cramps @ 10dpo. Every now & then ill feel pulling or cramps but nothing mayor. Yesterday I "thought" I felt movement lol but could've been gas {who knows} lol. I will def keep you posted though!!! :)
Did you sway @ all 4 a girl?
Were your twins conceived naturally or on clomid?
So sorry Isabella sending prayers.
Very sorry Isabella :(

So sorry Isa.this just happened to me & it really sucks.everyone here is amazing & supportive.we r here for u!
Yes swayed for a girl and no to Clomid. They were natural. Well the vitex I took for 2 weeks may have had something to do with it. Funny thing is I swayed and for some reason now I don't care about the gender at all :) I also felt crampy and still do every now and then but I asked the DR and she said it is normal.
3 babies would be insane lol!!!
I also live in the states but in my state it seems everyone goes early and they do a LOT of scans.
The fatigue!!!!!
Is anyone else this tired? I've never felt so fatigued in my life, in any of my other pregnancies I always had some energy left, with this one I feel sleepy all day! It's really full on, like I just collapse on the couch because I can't continue whatever I'm doing. I'm also having mild nausea on and off, it comes in waves 3 or 4 times a day, no vomiting though, just that yucky felling. I told Dh I feel like I'm having a bad hangover all day. Anyone else feeling this exhausted?
Aidansmum, I'm feeling more tired too. Not as much as you at the moment but definitely an energy drain. Waves of mild nausea sometimes but eating a little helps then.
Hopefully our low energy (and for me being up several times at night to go to the bathroom) is only for the first trimester at most.
right there with you on the tired train. I wish the docter will see me all ready!! Can even seem him till Jan 9 witch will put me at 12 weeks.

My first appointment is in two weeks. Seems like a long time!
12 weeks of waiting would make me crazy! It's just strange how some Dr's wait and others don't. I will have seen the Dr 3 times by the time I am 12 weeks. You are full of way more patience than I am :)
I am exhausted from the time I get up until bed time. Some of it may be the cold that seems to be running it's way through our home right now. Only thing a kid will share without a fight are germs :)
We need baby bump shots as we all start to grow! Who's in?
Sorry to hear your girls are tired too but it's a comfort knowing I'm not alone. Yesterday I felt really depleted and when I looked at myself in the mirror I looked pale and sick. Hope it's a girl sign, I don't remember feeling this tired with the boys. To make matters worse it's DS bday party next week and I have to clean the house before the party, don't know where I'm getting the energy from!
momof3boyz11, I'm all in for bump pictures. Mine is starting to show, I show very quick though, another 2 weeks or so I will have something to show for it and then I'll post it. That's a fun idea! :)
Mine won't see me until 12 weeks either but I requested a scan referral at 8 weeks otherwise I'll go nuts. I need to see a beating little heart, it's not too much to ask. It annoys me when Doctor's make it so hard to get those things done. My last Obstetrician, which I won't be seeing again for many reasons, refused to give me a referral for a scan from 20 weeks, I wanted to have one 3 weeks before due date just to be reassured everything was ok and he just said ' no need, all is fine, why do you want a scan', I didn't say it but thought 'don't know why as you seem to have x-ray vision'. I was so angry! In the end everything wasn't as fine he thought and ds was sitting in a very awkward back to back position which made my labour excruciating, if I had been told I would have opted for a epidural. Doctors don't always know everything and I hate the ones that disregard our requests for reassurance.
Not that tired but the nausea is HORRIBLE! Been living on saltines & vinegar potato chips. After weeks of LE I couldn't wait to get my BFP & eat but now I can't eat anything. Picked up an over the counter remedy today really hoping it helps.
Have the dr. again fri. They did an ultrasound on last Tuesday & we could see the sac & what he thought was baby. To tiny to tell for sure. My guess I was only exactly 5 weeks so I wasn't surprised when we didn't see heartbeat. Friday will be a repeat ultrasound & I'm really hoping to see this little one & that beautiful heartbeat. Been spotting on & off for over a week nothing heavy & no cramping but I will be super thankful to see the heartbeat & no that all is progressing.
momof3boyz I live in a verry small privce in canada there are precinterly only 3 ob for the hole precintce. I have an even longee wait if it was not for my histery of loss. The ob nurrcy will see me on dec 23 when I 10 weeks.
aidansmum, it nice that you can do the scan referral ware you live too get scand here before 28 week I have to take a 6 hour bus ride tow pricescer over. Only drow back off living in a small privces.

Dreams, vinegar potato chips are helping? That's neat.
I've been eating these Honey Graham Sticks that seem to help. And if I just keep eating a little through the day it helps.
Walking or gently walking on the elliptical is also helping as long as I've eaten first.
Wow! I could have wrote this post!! And even as I type this I'm in bed although its only 5pm in the evening. Absolutely energy-less. And am also getting waves of nausea that are stopping me in my tracks. Didn't have this at all with ds1 or ds2.
Am not going to complain too much as feel I'm lucky to be pregnant at all and these symptoms remind me of that all the time :)
