June 2014 (earliest of early days yet!)

[wispaxmas]

I decided to take a peek into the antenatal club threads, but there's no June thread yet, although for good reason.

I may be jinxing myself here, but after a couple very very faint positives on ICs for the last couple days I got a positive on an FRER this morning, so thought it would be safe to start one up.

Of course, still early days, but if it sticks my due date will be 3-5 June, depending on several websites.... What can I say, I tested early!

I hope someone comes to join me soon. There have to be some more recent BFPs....

Really want a clearblue to say 3+ !!!
Actually doing one right now....

Still says 2-3 !

Ok not gonna do another one for maybe 3-5 days or so.... Then hopefully it will say 3+

Well the GP said dtd will not cause a MC so have txt DH as he's so upset. I have to keep an eye on things over the next few days and do a preg test next Friday to see what that says. If still positive they will scan at six weeks to have a look.

I would like a RMC thread too if anyone is doing it, and want to say again sorry for my post (I don't want anyone feeling scared from it). I'm crossing fingers and toes it's all ok and I will pop back on here in a week to let you all know :)

That's good Lucy
Keep us updated... I'm sure everything will be absolutely fine!

Best of luck Lucy. Hope it's a sticky x

Hi LondonSuperTrooper - so pleased to see your name pop up on the antenatal club board!! So excited for you and wishing you (and all the other June bus passengers) a healthy, happy 40 weeks x

I'm now 39+4 and getting nervous (and very big!)

That's good, Lucy. You could make them do rising HCG bloods over 48 hours on say next mon and wed if you want to be sure things are going ok?

Gilly and Wispa...I can't help feeling we have missed a trick here and we should have bulk bought a massive number of PG test sticks and shared the cost considering the number we are going through

OK, after reading the posts I'm going to set up a RMC June Bus and I'll pop the link for it on here when I've done so.

Tinytear thanks for the offer but I'll probably avoid FB for now. I'm very paranoid about privacy at the moment as me and DH have decided not to tell anyone for as long as possible labour as it is just easier for us that way.

June RMC bus here

I am sorry to ask...what is RMC?

Sorry, recurrent miscarriage.

Hopefully you will never need to know anything about it Nessie

Posting about mc fears and issues doesn't bother me on the board, though understand why it does some and why some would rather post their worries on rmc board.

Does this mean now I have to keep up with 2 threads?

Will stay here but pop in on the rmc board from time to time. But the rmc ladies aren't going to abandon us are they?!

Day off today but have to go into work this afternoon and jump around like a loon (leading drama workshops). Not sure how long I'll be able to keep it up!

Gilly, I've had 2-3 twice on CBDs, too. I did one yesterday stupidly. Waste of money. I am actually going to wait until Sunday to do another one because that will be a week since I first saw 2-3 and if it's not 3+ I might cry. Again, irrational and stupid.

Ladies can you enlighten me please, at what dpo would you normally get 2-3 weeks on CBD and what dpo would you get 3+?

Ginger I got 2-3 weeks at 13dpo!

I'm definitely right with my dates because I was charting and using OPKs .... PLUS DH and I only dtd twice pretty much the whole of that cycle because he was away on business a lot and I was doing weird shifts when he was around! Passing ships in the night!

Must have high hcg levels already maybe??! But I suppose 2-3 at 13 DPO is almost right!

Haha wispa Sunday will be a week since I got 2-3 week on a clearblue as well. .... I might wait til Monday or Tuesday to test again!

ginger, I had 1-2 at 12dpo, 2-3 at both 18dpo and 22dpo

And I'm sure about dates as well, as my FF chart was super easy to read. (see? This is probably why I'm worrying. I know hcg levels rise at a different rate for different people, and doubling every 72 hours is fine, but i think I'm worrying my levels aren't high enough, and with no previous history of mc I doubt anyone would do a blood test to check levels.

I had 1-2 on a CBD on about 15dpo if that helps at all? Going to test and try to get 3+ but not for a few days

Does anyone have any experience with 'ThisIsMy' - the private pregnancy scan place.... I can get a 'reassurance scan' for £80 here in Leeds it appears

Alright, due to my obsessive nature, I've decided to 'do the math' and match up hcg levels to the CBD thresholds.

If I got 1-2 (hCG levels 25-200) at 12dpo and 2-3 (hCG levels 200-2000) at both 18 and 22dpo, it follows that:

-Given a doubling rate of every 2 days, my hCG could have been between 25 and 50 at 12po, between 200 and 400 at 18dpo, and between 800 and 1600 at 22dpo. If my hCG levels double every 48 hours I should expect to see 3+ at the latest at 25dpo (Sunday).

-Given a doubling rate of every 3 days, hCG would have had to have been at least 50 at 12dpo, resulting in levels of >200 at 18dpo and >500 at 22dpo. If my hcg levels double every 72 hours I should expect to see 3+ at the latest at 28dpo (Wednesday).

All of this is dependent on a consistent concentration of urine, though, and rigid consistency in regulation of hormones.. which isn't really going to happen in real life.

wow talk about being efficient wispa!

Wispa you just blew my mind!

Thank you for that Wispa! I just had my first 2-3 last night and am pretty pleased with myself! Roll on 3+ !

Bfp today, hasn't sunk in yet and haven't told DH, he will be pleased though.

snowlet I used Thisismy with my first 2 children, used to live in Leeds. I found them to be great. I had scans there at about 8 weeks with both, and with DS1 I had the nuchal there as it was before Leeds NHS offered it.

Very professional, their kit is top of the range and the sonographer very highly qualified.

Hi all,

Could I please join as well.

Had my BFP a few weeks ago. Have tested 4 times since, had my 1-2 and on Wednesday my 2-3 on clearblue!

Been to GP and have been given an EDD of 3rd June.. Its would be our first baby.

Now waiting to see if I have been accepted in my first choice hospital. Live about 15 steps from the 'border'!

Been worrying myself about my lack of symptoms as I have noticed some others have. Have been tired and have had some mild cramping, and that's it so far and I'm 5+3.

I'd like to thank whoever set up the separate mc thread. Didn't think I was that bothered about reading the stories til I stopped and really thought about it. Last pg for me was straight forward and I never thought about mc. This one I've been more clued up and reading everything on here and I realised I keep saying to dh don't get your hopes up, early days yet etc. I think it is important for me to stay positive. It is nice to know there are supportive people on here if something goes wrong though. Hope that makes sense!

Clever I feel the same way - I wouldn't want anyone to feel as if they can't share their worries here or feel excluded, but at the same time it might be good for people to have a place where they don't have to worry about posting all the details.

I've had my first incidents of proper retching today, of course that happened just before the class I had this morning arrived. Corralling 31 P4s with morning sickness, bah!
