I’m in the same boat - I had an early loss in April this year but I had a lot of complications and bleeding the whole way along with that pregnancy so like you I’m remaining cautiously hopeful for this one which is running smoothly so far. This will be my first :)

Hey,
Early days I know but anyone else got their BFP and worked out that they’re due May 2023? Mine is 6th May :) so excited!!
Yupp just got mine today (quite surprised as wasn't expecting to have such positive results given the first possible day I could have conceived was 15th Aug!). Due May 11th according to NHS calculator which coincidently is my hubby's 30th birthday lol

I tested early as per usual even though I hate how long the early weeks last! I've known since Friday and I'm not even due af until today which so far shows no signs of appearing 🤞🏻Tests are looking good. I just need it to stick. This is my 5th pregnancy and I have one child so far. EDD is 10th May which is my wedding anniversary!

Got my BFP on 22nd, due 2nd May. This will be baby no 2 for us. Seems like 12 weeks is a long way away though doesn't it 🙈 x

I'm sorry you're having such a tough time! I hope this one holds on tight 🤞🏻🤍
I totally get the longggg wait 🤦🏻♀️ I only tested as had a dream about being pregnant (only started TTC for no.2 15th Aug) and got fairly strong lines considering wasn't due AF until today 👀 I have a tiny tiny bump (it wasn't there last 1-2 weeks and I'm lower in weight than I was last month so can't be weight gain) and my HCG levels have clearly increased very quickly as my test this morning (less than 48hrs later) was very strong by comparison. I'm questioning whether it could be twins 😂🤦🏻♀️

I wonder once this builds up a little if we should start a fb page for May 2023 due babies. I have one that I still love and use regularly called 'the tea room' that came from here for Nov 2021 babies.

I got my BFP 22/08 too :)
2nd baby! Booked an early scan because I’m impatient and don’t want to tell anyone until I get proper confirmation that so far all is good!
Congratulations and yay, birthday twins. We've booked an early dating scan for 3rd October, when's yours booked for?
Oh hey @mrshendy96 fellow tea roomer, I thought that might've been you. Definitely up for new FB group. So exciting we get to do it all again xx
