Needing to vent

The first one stopped around 5.5 weeks when I was 9 weeks and my last one was 5 weeks but I bled the whole time. My hcg numbers have been 200 and 547 but I cannot stop ...

Need some reassurance

My first pregnancy I was so fatigued, constantly dry heaving/nauseous, and so sensitive to smells. This time I have 0 symptoms besides cramping. I know every pregnancy is different but I am worried! I may book a private 7 week scan bc I can’t wait until my 9 week dr. appointment 😵‍💫

Pregnancy of Unknown Location (PUL)

Pretty sure I’m out of the race for a September 2025 baby. Had some minor bleeding a week or 2 ago but it was thought to be normal. This week I’ve had a horrible dull ache (different from pregnancy cramps) right in my pelvis on one side that goes all down my leg. Last night it got so uncomfortable I rang 111, th...

Reassurance scan today for 6+4.

I know I’m meant to wait until 7 weeks but only dates I could make work with my husband. On a positive note, no bleeding this pregnancy! Last pregnancy I had 2 trips to the EPU already. Please send baby dust! Just desperate to see that teeny tiny heart beat!
