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....

8 weeks? think I will get a digital!

gimmetea I've heard of people who've had really late positives, your body might just be releasing HCT slower.

First day I had to go home sick today - I'm officially in week 5 today and feel rotten. Not thrown up yet, which is a positive, but dizzyness and cold prickly sweat, not pleasant.

My weirdest symptom: a swollen achey knee joint! I messed up my knee a few years ago and it's usually fine, I get the odd twinge when I twist it when getting out of the car or things like that. But for the last 10 days it's been getting steadily more swollen and sore. I can only imagine it has something to do with the softening ligaments - it's annoying!

I heard you can't get a baby on board badge til after your 12 week scan? Apparently they ask to see some paperwork or something?!

really??? can't remember ever being ask for paperwork, i got mine at king's cross station

Baby on board badges

Ah ok! I'll take a look thanks
A colleague of mine said she had to show paperwork! Thought that was a bit OTT!!!!

Anyway I've got my doctors appointment tomorrow morning

AND I'm gonna be try to be much more healthy from now on!

Had a choc chip muffin for breakfast though LOL
but accompanied it with a banana and an apple!

And for lunch I had a big chicken salad with tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, pumpkin seeds, spinach, rocket.....

Been snacking on dried apricots and pistachios this afternoon!

Wonder how long it takes me to cave and have done thing extreme my naughty!

Gimmetea I wouldn't worry too much abt dates, just go by 1st day of lmp and they'll date properly at the scan won't they? I'm pretty sure when I ovulated but thats only coz I was temping.

Agreed with dh last night that I wud hold out til tomorrow to do another digi. That will be 17dpo which is when I did it last time and only got 1-2wks so really hoping for 2-3wks this time. Think it will help me to relax a bit if I do.

Been feeling tired today, altho cud just be lack of caffeine, and I swear my boobs are getting bigger!

bludger I'm so glad you said that about the knee, mine are KILLING me, I tried to jog this morning and ouch, never known them to feel like this

That said, hello! got my BFP two days ago, due 10th June (or thereabouts)

Nice to see everyone and congrats to you all! x

So many June bugs already. Yay!

Peeking in with my fresh bfp I didn't realise that a gp appointment was the norm and this is baby 4 rang surgery today and was given a mw appointment for three weeks time. Should I call back and ask for a gp one given that I'm usually under consultant care not local mw?

Hi snowlet, congrats on your bfp!Is this ur first or do you have children already?

hi three, congrats!

Um not sure, doc didn't do much just referred me to midwife really, maybe ask for them to give you a call so you can check re the consultant?

Ah should have said, I'm a newbie, first baby, boyfriend and I are bonkers happy at the minute! :) cheesy did you say it wasn't your first? and Three you're a newbie too right??

I think a GP appt is only ever needed if you have other conditions or if it's baby #1... And even then I'm not sure everyone goes to the GP, it just helps because they'll refer me to the midwives, who I would have no idea how to get a hold of anyways.

I popped into GP today (first babe) and they just made me an appt with a midwife for two weeks time, I didn't really have a GP appt at all

I went to the GP mainly because I had an appointment already for stress/general nuttiness, and all he did was refer me to the local maternity clinic at the hospital. Didn't do any tests apart from bp and weight.

yep 1st one here too! exciting times!

Oh this is my first pregnancy as well so going to the doctors "just because" really!

I rang and told the receptionist that I have found out I'm pregnant and she said congrats and to come and see the dr....so I guess I'll do that although don't expect her to say much!

Ah GP for me was also because of my thyroid condition and because I want an early scan.

Welcome all!

Congratulations to new members.

I'm worried - the lines on the test I took are definitely weaker than the strong pink ones I had yesterday

Any thoughts? Still a definite pink line, but yesterday was VERY strong (nearly the same colour as the test line.) Much paler pink today.

Is this the end of my miracle BFP?

Lots of first timers like me, yay

I bought a couple more CBD on my way home tonight. I think I've spent more on hpts since getting a bfp than I ever did when ttc! Will test in the morning and hope for 3+!

I've decided against going in to work tomorrow. Going to convalesce at home instead.

Yipee, more BFP's! Congratulations ladies. Starting to feel a little bit excited now. Did a digi test this aftenoon (and some quick maths) and think I might have conceived on my DS's 3rd birthday! Whoops. Anyway, estimated dd 7th June, but expecting mw to say end of May.
Tiny So glad the medication has been sorted for you.
Gilly, good going on the healthy changes. I'm just eating what ever doesn't make my stomach turn!
Better make an appointment tomorrow then as some of you are so organised it is putting me to shame!

Oh no Moon. Keeping fingers crossed for you

Sorry, I missed your post moon! Wait a few days and test again. What kind of tests are you using? I used an internet cheapie again when I did a second CBD. The line on the IC was faint, but the CBD had gone up from 1-2 to 2-3 weeks. Wait it out a few days and then test again.

First Response - I think I am still a bit too early for lines on cheapies, but yesterday I did get the faintest of faint lines on a cheap test from Home Bargains. Today - nothing on cheap test and fainter pink line on FR test. Not sure what to think?

Think POSITIVE moon
