@DanceWithYourBalloon congratulations!!! So very exciting

@FourOclock love the scan photo ❤

I'm 5/6dpo and been having little butterfly sensations around 3 times and a sharp pain last night. I felt like I might have pmt earlier so who knows. All too early anyway!

WingingIt09 · 07/05/2022 14:41

@tryingtryinggone that's cute! We used a big sister top for my eldest to tell family when I was pregnant with DD2. Couldn't find that again as the girls are old enough to pick up on conversation and then the world and his wife would know I'm pregnant! Also want to protect the kids from any early miscarriage (especially as I've currently had 2 miscarriages in 4 pregnancies) so won't tell them anything until after dating scan.

@Dreamingof3 yes I'm the same!

Dreamingof3 · 07/05/2022 14:15

Now that we're getting close to properly trying I'm spending so much time looking at baby things and baby announcements 🤦‍♀️

Dreamingof3 · 07/05/2022 14:14

@WingingIt09 I'm not sure what I'll do to tell my other half.

@tryingtryinggone I like that idea....probably 50/50 that he'd notice 🤣

tryingtryinggone · 07/05/2022 14:02

@FourOclock so glad the scan went well!

@Dreamingof3 Cute!

@WingingIt09 ive bought a ‘big sister’ top which I’ll put on DD and wait for DH to figure it out. Knowing him he won’t notice and I’ll have to just tell him 😂 fingers crossed it still fits when I do get pregnant!

@DanceWithYourBalloon definitely a positive!! Congratulations!

@Organictangerine such good restraint to not test before that! Haha

CD12 for me today so getting closer to my fertile period. Not sure whether to track ov this month or still try and just be relaxed about it all.. definitely not feeling relaxed.

FourOclock · 07/05/2022 13:19

Yay @DanceWithYourBalloon looks good to me!!

lj2022 · 07/05/2022 13:02

@Amber17 @Organictangerine the TWW is so hard with symptom spotting. I've done so well not to symptom spot until today. Crampy, backache and headache but also just symptoms of AF. I'm going to test at 10dpo if AF hasn't arrived since that will be classed as a missed period for me

Organictangerine · 07/05/2022 11:41

Congrats Balloon! 🥳 looks like you can take a better quality test now just to sure up!

5dpo here, been having odd twinges and one sided cramp which doesn’t usually happen. Also a little dizzy like I was when pregnant with DD. But wondering if I’m reading too much into things! Going to test at 12dpo and not a moment sooner.

Amber17 · 07/05/2022 10:58

Congrats @DanceWithYourBalloon! Def a BFP!

I’m 8DPO and can’t decide if I’m getting mild cramps or just hyper aware of every feeling in my pelvis atm.

dearhummingbirds · 07/05/2022 10:35

@DanceWithYourBalloon without tempting fate, I’d say so! 🥳 congratulations!

hevann · 07/05/2022 09:28

@DanceWithYourBalloon I would definitely say a BFP!!! The line is coming along nicely! Congrats! xx

lj2022 · 07/05/2022 09:26

@DanceWithYourBalloon wow I would definitely say a BFP how exciting ❤️

I'm 7dpo and have got horrendous cramp and back ache this morning but that could also be my AF beginning to show as I'm due at 9dpo. No spotting so far so hoping my luteal phase may be extending slightly but not getting my hopes up. Will see what happens on Monday if AF arrives

Dreamingof3 · 07/05/2022 08:57

@DanceWithYourBalloon I'd definitely say so!! ❤️❤️

DanceWithYourBalloon · 07/05/2022 08:16

@Dreamingof3 that is a lovely babygrow!
I'm getting excited to go shopping again. Although if we have another boy I won't need to get too much. 😂

DanceWithYourBalloon · 07/05/2022 08:15

So this is 11dpo! Can I call this a BFP yet?
I've been using internet cheapies but I've got a bigger more expensive test for when I'm sure.

@FourOclock lovely scan photo! 🥰

WingingIt09 · 06/05/2022 22:12

@Dreamingof3 I love it! I keep thinking about how I want to tell DH I'm pregnant.... last time doing it so want to do something. Need to start deciding as I could be pregnant this time next month 😅

OP posts:
Dreamingof3 · 06/05/2022 21:20

I can't share this anywhere else 🤣 look what arrived today 😍 hidden away now so my other half doesn't think I've completely lost the plot!

Still no af...cramps though so hopefully by tomorrow 🤞

@DanisEndo I called ahead to ask if they could / would then went the following week at the walk in clinic they told me to go to!

@FourOclock ah lovely scan picture! Also loving the paw in there too 😻

dearhummingbirds · 06/05/2022 17:37

@FourOclock
The cat paw 😂

Awh, so exciting!

FourOclock · 06/05/2022 17:34

WingingIt09 · 06/05/2022 16:23

@FourOclock awww 🥰 glad it all went well. Did they change your due date at all?

Oh yes they did! It's 9th November now Smile

Baby is face on in the pic, made it very awkward for screening measurements so I have to go back in a few weeks for different blood tests to check for downs but the sonographer was confident baby was looking okay!

LucyLoopyLu · 06/05/2022 17:26

@fouroclock congrats! So lovely to see the scan. The cat's paw is just too cute in combination 😭

Dreamingof3 · 06/05/2022 16:58

@FourOclock that's fantastic 😍

hevann · 06/05/2022 16:52

@FourOclock that's a beautiful looking scan 🥰Glad everything went well! x

WingingIt09 · 06/05/2022 16:23

@FourOclock awww 🥰 glad it all went well. Did they change your due date at all?
