Hello everyone!!
Firstly i just wanted to say how nice everyone seems here, i cant wait to actually get to start chatting to you all!!!

Im 25, been married for 3 years and just found out after TTC for 3 months only (i think we were very lucky! - have a short luteal phase lengthened by Vitex, an amazing herbal supplement IMO!) that I am 5 weeks pregnant after taking one normal and one digital test and then confirming with my GP.

Initial feelings - super excited but terrified, im a worrier and keep imagining something will go wrong but im crossing fingers for a nice sticky baby!! Hehe

Its a pretty full on concept to get your head around, with everything that has to happen yet - i booked another GP appointment for thursday to just go over everything, i think ill do shared care with my GP - and as im anxious about everything then im going to try and ask for an early scan just to suss things out and see if alls okay, hopefully around the 6 or 7 week mark...

Ive been spotting very slightly for about 5 days, but ill get that checked out on thursday too, hopefully its nothing... i have heard its relatively normal but it does make you worry!!

Other symptoms, just very sore BBs and slight cramps, twinges in my tummy... and very very thirsty - i hadnt heard that was a symptom before though?! And more frequent trips to the ladies room

Massive congrats to everyone out there who has just found out as well, its SOO exciting and overwhelming and i just have my fingers crossed for everyone that everyones pregnancies go beautifully

Looking forward to talking to you all - the support on here seems wonderful to be able to discuss concerns and everything with people who are going through / have gone through the same things as i am!

looking forward to meeting you all!!!

Amanda
