September 2015 Ante-Natal thread.

[DastardlyDachshund]

Hello ladies. I got my BFP (bloody faint positive in my case) on Monday and am due on 3rd September. I couldn't see any other threads for next September so thought I would go ahead and create a little home for us over the coming months. Merry Christmas to all of you finding out about your extra Christmas Present over the next few days .

hi all, welcome to the new joiners

Treacle fwiw with mu ectopic I didn't get any pain until 6 weeks, I don't think a 4 week baby, which is the size of a poppy seed would be causing you any pain if it were in your tubes at the moment. Also ectopics are quite rare (1/100). So stop worrying It's as easy as that

Nope, never even used fmu treacle could slap myself for even doing it in the first place! Just came across it while tidying out the cupboard and thought why not. Then read the instructions afterwards and it said about being best 7 days after missed period while the others I used were all early tests for 4 days before.

Thank you terrys! That's what I was thinking. Stupid doctors.
There you go the booboo! Don't stress :)

Thanks treacle its not even that faint now that I've looked at it again...and again haha. Think I need to lay off the sticks for my own sanity!

Another 4 weeks til I see any kind of health care worker....gona be a lonnnng few weeks!

Hi deladion whispers congrats :)

Hi deladion :)

Oh tiny

Do you have anyone supporting you in RL?

Hello lovely new people.

Tiny - how are you doing?x

FWIW it's a lot easier to get in to see the nurse at my surgery than to see a Dr. If anyone's worried, it's worth trying that route for some reassurance!

Do any of you poas addicts know the sensitivity level of various tests? The one I used was 15ml U/ml and I've no idea how that rates compared to some of these expensive ones like frer.

Brickie there is a list which is shared on MN sometimes! Try the first Jan bus thread if you can find it

ICs say they are 10miu, but often have very little dye.

FRER is I think 25miu (mine was paler than my IC test)

Many others including some ClearBlue are 50miu or higher!

So 15miu is pretty much as sensitive as it gets.

People online have said frer can be as sensitive as 6 miu. I'm really not sure. Clear blue digi with conception is 25miu.

Superdrugs own is something like 10, they're really good.

I have the Internet cheapies and they're 10mlu but this hatch seem to be incredibly faint.
CB digi with weeks is 25mlu
Frer don't say on the leaflet.

Stuff online says frer are 15miu

It's a mine field!

I have discovered that I actually like decaf tea so that's a weight off my mind as I cannot be without a brew!

The wait for weeks to pass and constant worry about everything is killing me. Why does time go so slowly?!

Gonna take a final digi tomorrow and hope that it says 3+ - cannot guarantee that if it doesn't I won't be buying another pack lol!

That's my plan tomorrow too maths
I know I was thinking earlier, the weeks go sooooo slow when you're pregnant! How am I only 5 weeks tomorrow? I should be at least 10 weeks by now I'm sure ;)

Don't worry if not maths, your hcg has to be over 20000 to get 3+ according to the brochure.

Where's cheapest to buy these ones with the weeks on then? I've only bought supermarket own brand lol. The 15mlu ones were morrisons.

I get mine from amazon brickie - 2 for £12 I think it was.

Brickie when I got mine Christmas week it was from a Gordon's chemist, but it was like 7.50 on offer for 1 then

Tesco have them 2 for £12 or £13, sainsburys are the same. Don't get the 'countdown' ones like I did by accident! They're 2 for £10 :/

Welcome to all the newbies! I too am a Poas addict- I did a cheapie strip thing this morning and line was as dark as the control so I hoping I can relax and stop spending money on the damn things for even just a short time!!!
I'm sorry to hear ur news Tiny x hope you are doing ok!!
I've got an achy pain in my lower back / side today- desperately trying to ignore it and not worry- any idea what it could be?

Might be of help for the hcg levels :)

spam that's really odd. If you look at the brochure on the clear blue site it says 3+ doesn't appear until 20000 plus.
Good to see some outlines though :)
Possibly round ligament pain sesame?
I'm having it too.
