No this is number 2. Ds turned 4 in dec.

Welcome to the newcomers and congratulations!

BowiesJumper I just waited a week from when I did my first one and did the next one then. It was the only way I could be sure it should have moved on. But now that I've exhausted the time intervals on the CBDs I'm just a going to have to tough it out. Gulp.

Congrats Cish! Do you know how far along you are?

thaks bowies no idea at the min. last cycle was 26 jan.

Yes Ama, I got a 2 pack of cb digis and am going to do the 2nd one next Friday to make sure that number goes up!

Hello ! Please can i join? Congrats fellow November team!

I got my BFP at 9DPO (20th Feb) with a squinter FAINT line --- subsequently tested 12 times times since and line is now 'proper dark' on 15dpo. Going by my OPKS the Dr and I are estimating my due date to be 4th or 5th Nov, so lets just say 5th as that is a cool date!

LMP was 31st Dec so Dr had to ask for a booking appt based on that so that could be in the next few weeks but realisiscally i know i am not due until Nov! When are yours?

Symptom free until today, except excessive fatigue, right now, cramps and upset tummy, no nausea, and tingly nips! and i am thrilled at the nips as a bonefide symptom or sign of pg

Little Poppy seed do your stuff! Today i AM 4+1. fx to all!

got totally overexcited /panic took over and booked the nct signature course for mid oct to mid nov due dates as my area is MEGA pricey and over subscribed... i wasnt even the first one booked!

Hello, can I join please? Think I'll be 4th November if calculators online are correct - stupidly long cycles. This is my 2nd pregnancy, my first DS is 11 now, so can't remember any baby stuff now! Got my BFP on wed, and a cb on thurs. Has anyone been to the GP yet?

Hi toors and all and congrats! This is so much fun and it's been lovely reading all your posts! My GP didn't do anything other than give me a midwife number but I've been given an apnt with the assistant midwife (or something like that) next Friday morning and then my booking apnt two wks later. Slightly concerned as Im only about three wks past ovulation but my lmp was January 5th - it's ridiculous to put me at over 7 wks, surely, but that's what the doc did! Presumably I'll go for my scan at '12' to be told I'm way too early for them to do the tests etc?! But maybe I'll get a cheeky early scan like this?! I've got really sore boobs - getting more and more tender and lots of milk cm (tmi) which makes me feel reassured! Why won't time go quicker?!

Oooh, lots of lovely new people!

Hello! Can I join you please? I did a frer last Sat morning 10dpo and had a stonking dark line. Did an ic on weds and am going to do my last frer tomorrow morn because a) it was lush seeing a line appear and b) because I don't really think this is real and want to check before we tell our parents tomorrow! Apparently I'm due 1st Nov.

It's our first and I'm clueless about pregnancy stuff-what does e.g 4+1 mean? Is it the number of weeks and days pregnant you are? And what's the booking appointment with the midwife? Sorry to sound a doofus!!

feather yes 4+1 would be 4 weeks 1 day pregnant. Booking in appointment etc I can't help with - I have a DS who's much older so can't remember anyway, and I did t find out I was pg with him til around 22wks! So have 'never done' 1st trimester really!

Thanks Annbag and Roughtype. Wow 22 weeks, that's mad!

I know! I was 17 so pregnancy wasn't really on my mind!

Is anyone else in Scotland? The hospital where I had DS is closed now

Alighting the bus! hello to you all an congrats on the BFPs. I got one this afternoon and think I'm 4+3. I'm a first-timer, 31, TTC for 10 months, had an early miscarriage last year and was getting impatient for a BFP...but couldn't believe it when I got one! Due date is 3 Nov.

As for symptoms I've had a wave of nausea the last two days, metallic taste in mouth, needing to wee loads at night, had a dizzy spell and been really gassy... It's mad! Is it all down to the hcg?! Can't all be down to my imagination...

Trying not to get too excited....

Great to read how fellow passengers are getting on!

Congrats Shortlashes and welcome!

6 weeks today, Amanda!

God, I feel like crap.

Good morning, everyone, especially the new BFPs! Welcome to the bus!

Is many one else checking spacefem's daily risk of mc chart like me? I'm down to 8.4% today at 6+0. Maybe I'm imagining it, but my boobs feel more tender today, and my nips are definitely quite sore. Also felt a lot more queasy yesterday, and not doing so well today either. But I intend to be joyous about any and all pg symptoms, even if I do get the voms! It's got to be a sign that my hormones are doing their work. Please someone, remind me of this noble intention if the going gets tough...

I'm going to speak to DH about telling my parents next Friday if all goes well with my early scan. I'm really close to them (not geographically, unfortunately) and can't bear that they don't know - they'll be so excited. I don't know how we'll wait till 12 weeks to tell our DS. He adores babies, is always asking to hold other people's and has two monkeys he pretends are babies intermittently. I really hope this goes according to plan so we can give him a sibling.

And then I guess our other friends will follow. We've got some heavy shit going on right now - two friends in a serious way in ICUs, one with an almost 0 chance of even recovering consciousness, and my MIL passed away a couple of weeks ago - so it would be wonderful to have some good news.

Out for dinner at friends tonight - I'm playing the Lent card to account for my lack of alcohol consumption. Even so, I'm not sure they'll believe me - it's not something I usually do, and the only time they've known me not to drink was when I was pg with DS. The trials of being a complete lush...

Hope everyone is enjoying the fact that it's Saturday. A happy and healthy day to all of you!

Our posts crossed, crumbelina! Six weeks indeed! Is it the dreaded ms?

Amanda, I'm the same in so many ways! I love the spacefem link - I think our odds went down by almost 10 per cent in the last week alone. I look at it every day (geek).

I feel pretty rubbish this morning - really nauseous, sore nips and I need to listen to you. All the time spent TTC and I'd see threads from pregnant women (in Active) compaining about one symptom or another. The irrational part of me wanted to post and say "You're pregnant FFS, stop moaning and be happy!". One week after a BFP and I'm grumbling away.

I think we may have to tell the in-laws sooner than we hoped and not hold old until my MIL's birthday next month. I have a feeling that I'm going to be picking at the lovely big dinners they make and sloping off early to bed. They'll probably think I hate living there and don't want to be around them. It just feels like I can keep up the charade at work but need to relax properly when I get home. We'll see ...

Oh and we're off to dinner at a friend's tonight and we're never without a drink when we're together. I'll try the lent thing too - doubt it'll work!

Oh, and I'm so sorry to hear about your friends and MIL, it's so sad. I had a pretty awful late 2014 (health scare for me and my Mum plus other crap including TTC) and it just felt like I'd be happy if life could just be boring with no more bad news around the corner.

Anyway, it's the weekend - I'm off to pick at some dry toast. Take care all!

Morning! 4wks today! Ha. Seems so short a time.
When will I stop assuming it's all going to go wrong?

Ooh - got my appt for booking in (25th March) and scan (20th April) this morning! 5 weeks today... Time is going very slowly..

Haha no I know I'll be on edge the whole 9 months (fingers crossed). And then for the next 18 years...

Oo Tiny how exciting!
