We got our positive today. Looks like my due date would be 8th September going off period date but 14th September going off ovulation.

Anyone else get BFP for September baby?

It’s very comforting reading through the messages from others at a similar stage, as this is my first pregnancy, and although very much wanted, I feel totally unprepared as it happened very quickly.

I had a positive test yesterday morning, on a FRER & a clear blue 2-3 week. I was due on the day before and when AF didn’t arrive, and I had stabbing pains on my lower right side, I knew I needed to test. Due to the stabbing pains I spoke to the GP who referred me to the local midwife line straight away and was sent to A&E, they suspect it may be an ectopic, (I also have shoulder pain) however they also found that I have a UTI, so I’m hoping the UTI explains my pains.

Back tomorrow for more bloods to see if my HPG is rising, and a very early scan/more bloods on Friday (I’ll only be 4 weeks 5 days), but they are a little concerned with the locations of my pains.

My HPG was 409 yesterday at 4 weeks 1 day but they said it means nothing without another test 48 hours later to monitor the rate it is rising.

We’ve got our fingers crossed this is meant to be, but this is already proving to be a very very long week of waiting!

I think I need to step away from the tests now the anxiety being pregnant after a miscarriage is unreal. Early scan next week time is going so slow.

Due September 2023

@elleh2023 I feel like this too! I got my 3+ on the weekend and have decided to give up.
My miscarriage was at 18 weeks and I don't know how I cope with the extra anxiety!
Our first sign of something being wrong was at 10 weeks, so maybe if I can get past that smoothly, I'll feel better. I hope so anyway! It'll be a long wait to September otherwise.

missmae · 10/01/2023 22:11

@BeichiogrwyddEnfys i’m with you on those mood swings I’ve had a terrible day. Everything that could’ve gone wrong totally did, I was ready to explode! Major bloating here too, the fatigue as well 🥱

chocciebiscuits · 10/01/2023 22:16

Hi ladies! Congratulations on all ur lovely BFPs! Can I join? 😍 I got a positive on 22nd Dec, due around 4th Sept. Third baby and I'm 38. Have had a tiny bit of bleeding after sex this wk so am being sent for an early scan at my local hospital. Hoping everything is ok. Experiencing pretty much all the symptoms everyone seems to be on here too! Hugs 🤗

froglou · 11/01/2023 07:56

FYI salt and vinegar crisps are really helping the nausea!

kizzy97 · 11/01/2023 10:41

@froglou I ended up sending DP out for pickled onion monster munch last night 😅 wonder if that's going to be a craving for me this time?

@missmae my day was truly topped off with a trip to A&E with my three year old 😩 he’s now missed his first day of nursery school today x

Hi, so I got a BFP yesterday with 2-3 weeks, following a BFN on Monday. I have been drinking lots of water recently and peed on the BFN where I dipped the BFP so don't know if maybe my pee was too dilute on Monday or what but because I got one pos and one neg I tried again today and it is now only showing as 1-2.
Just a bit concerned that it's less than yesterday. By my calculation, I ovulated about 2.5 weeks ago.
The IC OT showed positive yesterday too (mistake the hcg for lh), just tried that too as its how I picked up my last pregnancy.

Caxmas · 11/01/2023 11:33

I don’t know if anyone else can relate to this, but I just don’t feel pregnant!?

Anyone else around 4-5 weeks and just not feeling like they thought they would?

I’ve got my blood test this afternoon so should know by tonight how my HPG is looking

elleh2023 · 11/01/2023 11:44

@Caxmas I'm the same just over 5 weeks and not really any symptoms slightly more tired than usual but works been a nightmare so not really surprised by that I have read that most symptoms kick in about 6 weeks I have two children already but they are older so can't remember when my symptoms started with them

FarmBaby3 · 11/01/2023 11:54

@Caxmas I don't feel pregnant either. It wasn't until I was about 14 weeks before I felt it with my son. It was 6 weeks and the sickness started with my daughter which made me feel pregnant with her

I’m in the same boat too other than slight cramps I’ve no other symptoms! I booked a 6 week scan on the 24th hoping it will make it feel more real

WishToBeContent · 12/01/2023 10:38

Hi I hope you don't mind if I join? I stopped taking the pill at the beginning of December and got my bfp on the 6th of jan so not totally sure how many weeks/days I am but I assume no more than 4.5 weeks!

Loword · 12/01/2023 11:07

Hi all
i tested positive 2nd Jan and according to nhs site I’m due 11th September. Had a blighted ovum a few years back to very anxious.
not really many symptoms to report either
don’t know whether to book in for an early scan or not.
I had one last time with blighted ovum as I just knew something was wrong and it caused more stress as I had to go back every 10 days for scans until they could confirm blighted ovum!

missmae · 12/01/2023 11:55

@BeichiogrwyddEnfys oh no! Is he okay? X

missmae · 12/01/2023 12:00

@Caxmas tbh, the last week I’ve had extremely painful boobs and the light cramps and increased appetite where I feel sick if I haven’t eaten. But the last couple of days I’ve not felt anything at all really, my boobs aren’t as painful as they were. I don’t feel pregnant now. I should be just over 5 weeks now 🤔

BipolarSunset · 12/01/2023 14:13

@missmae exactly the same here. I'm 5.5 weeks and woke up this morning feeling my usual self. Trying to enjoy it as I know it'll all be back with a vengeance at some point lol x

missmae · 12/01/2023 14:35

@BipolarSunset yes I’m thinking the same I’m thinking to make the most of it too and not to worry lol! X

Caxmas · 12/01/2023 17:52

It’s so reassuring to be able to hear from others in the same boat…thanks ladies! I think you’re all right too, let’s make the most of feeling ourselves.

My right sided groin pain and shoulder pain has now gone, the doctor was happy with my 48 hour HPG results, but then asked me to go back in again tomorrow for more bloods and a scan anyway.

The scan seems a bit odd, given I’ll only be 4 weeks 5 days, not sure if anyone else has had this. I really hope I’ll be able to relax a bit more next week once this is done and let it all feel a bit more real!

BeichiogrwyddEnfys · 12/01/2023 20:24

@missmae absolutely fine in himself, but he managed to split his chin open. He’s going to have a lovely scar 😫x

missmae · 12/01/2023 21:20

@Caxmas maybe the scan is to see location of baby and see how far along you are? 🤔 I’m sure everything will be fine tho! But yeah I’ve just deeped it again this evening I feel totally normal today, v weird 🤷🏼‍♀️😂

@BeichiogrwyddEnfys oh no bless him! well you never know he might feel tough with his little scar!🙈😆x

@Loword I'm due the day before u and also had a blighted ovum - mine was only last September. And also had to play the waiting game to see if something developed even though I knew as well as them it was over. Such a horrible thing to go through u have my full sympathies  I just keep telling myself 'different pregnancy , different outcome'

Loword · 13/01/2023 08:02

@lalalalalala123 im trying to be positive but it’s so hard isn’t it!
are you going to have an early scan?
have you got any children? I’ve got 1 but was with a different partner

Loword · 13/01/2023 08:24

@Caxmas what were your blood test results if you don’t mind me asking?
im pushing for blood test just to check!
