Recent BFP, anyone else?

[twobcomthree]

Hi ladies,

Recently got my BFP (will be 5 weeks tomorrow) 🥰and wondered if anyone has also recently got their BFP and would like to join this thread?

I'm 33, been actively TTC for around 6 months, This is my second pregnancy as I had a MMC at 8 weeks at the end of 2021. But if successful will be my first baby 🙏🏼✨ took a break in between as I was getting married.

Really hoping for a positive healthy pregnancy this time✨🤞🏻

Hi!

congrats on your pregnancy! I just had my first bfp today at I think around 11dpo so very very early on. But I had nice clear positive tests including on a clear blue digital. I’m 31 and this is cycle 2 of trying for baby number 1. So I’m completely new and a bit scared to be honest!! I’d love to join you on your journey x

@Tempeliz hey, thanks for sharing and congrats to you too! You must be less than 4 weeks then, right? I found out about the same time as you and although it's only been just over a week the time has dragged SO slow!! I'm really nervous because of what happened to me last time as it was quite traumatic finding out at an early scan.. but positive vibes for this time ✨

Yep totally with you on the scared/nervous thing..Searching some of the old Mumsnet threads have really helped me both this time and last time so I thought why not start a new thread and keep things real!💪🏼💕

I’m so sorry to hear about your loss with your last pregnancy, I can’t imagine how tough that must be and it will of course make you feel more nervous this time… but lots of positive vibes for this pregnancy 🥰

yes I think I am just under 4 weeks - showing as 1-2 weeks on the clear blue digital. How often did you test after your first bfp??

@Tempeliz I tested a couple of times (with a couple of days in between) just to make sure the line was getting darker as my first was quite faint. Mine were, so after that I haven't tested since.. I would say it's easy to obsess over testing but theres really no need once you've had a strong line 🙂

Have you had any early symptoms at all yet?

Hello 👋

Currently 5 weeks and 1 day after my first ivf cycle. Lines are getting stronger and booked in for my first scan a week today so hoping to see a heartbeat then 😊

I tested positive from 5 days past transfer so equivalent to 10dpo. I have tested every day since.

@twobcomthree I’m sorry to hear about your loss but fingers crossed this all continues well for you 🥰

@Tempeliz I found out when I was 3 weeks 3 days. It’s so scary isn’t it this early on x

@Infertilitylife wow how amazing, big congrats! Will this also be your first?

Amazing you have a scan so early, hoping all goes well for you🤞🏻✨ that's not long at all to wait either!

I also have an early scan but not until 7 weeks or so x

Congrats on your BFP. I got mine on the 10th. I’m 30. FTM (first time mum). I’m estimating that I’m about 7 weeks 3 days. I’m eager to see the midwife to have some confirmation that this is actually real, but the first appointment isn’t until June 8th. Argggggh! I thought waiting for the BFP would be the hardest part but this is harder already.

@twobcomthree It will be my first. I’ve never been pregnant before so it’s all new to me. I’m having the scan at six weeks as my ivf clinic like to see that the pregnancy is in the right place and to check how many babies there are 😂🥰

Do you have any symptoms etc?

Hi!

Congratulations!

I got my BFP 2 weeks ago - at 5 weeks! I'm 7 weeks as of Wednesday apparently and so super excited. This is my first pregnancy and I'm nervous and shattered and not sure what to do with anything yet!

Hope everything goes well for you

Hi ladies, Got mine 3 weeks ago, will be 6 weeks tomorrow. After 2 losses , really hoping this sticks.

Hi everyone ☺️

@twobcomthree only symptoms so far have been severe tiredness, sore boobs and have had some sort of pulling/sharp type pains in my lower abdomen on the left side… which I assume to be due to implantation!

@Ziska93
@clearlyy
@Ella31

Oh wow theres a few of us in the same position- great to hear - congrats all and thanks for sharing💕✨

@Ella31sorry for your losses and sending positive vibes to you!

Symtom wise, so far i've only really had sore boobs and occasional light cramps.. oh and ocassional headaches too!

I've off to a wedding next weekend and a number of friends/ close family will be I have no idea how i'm going to hide the not drinking as will be very unusual for me not to be swigging the wine 😂 anyone have any tips for me?!

@twobcomthree

Thank you!!

I've also had people question why I'm not drinking, I've just said I've got to drive/taking medication/have something on tomorrow etc

It's getting to the point I can't wait to announce it but we're 6 weeks off yet at least!

It's unusual for me to not drink a fair bit while im out so people have noticed 🤣 I just make something up and people go ooooh okay!

Same. I've had on and off cramps , they alarmed me at first but I've gotten used to them. I'm really tired in the evenings though. Got a 3 plus weeks on a digital yesterday so happy with that. I'm 6 weeks today. I've my dating scan tomorrow two weeks so can't wait. So lovely to see you all on the same journey. It can be quite lonely when you can't tell anyone.

I just found out that a friend of mine is also expecting! She’s about 2-3 weeks ahead of me, so I’m jealous she gets to go to her scan first :( (I’m tired of waiting for even just the first appointment which will be at 10 weeks!!!!!!) … but mostly just excited that we get to share this experience with each other!

Hi!

I’m just over 7 weeks and also had a MMC (New Years Eve 2020) so taken a while to get here! I have no children currently and this is a much wanted pregnancy, I hope everyone on this thread has a beautiful outcome 🤍

In regards to not drinking, if I’m doing anything on a Saturday night I just say I drank too much the night before and that I’m currently living off water. It’s worked well so far!

BTW@Ziska93 that is so cute, I’d love to share the experience with a friend!

Ah lovely to hear @Coinicon congrats and wishing you a healthy pregnancy ✨

Hows everyone feeling this week? Has anyone had any early scans? X

Can I join please? Got my first ever BFP yesterday- similar to @Infertilitylife mine was a frozen transfer tho. After 3 1/2 years of TTC I'm still in shock and it doesn't feel real! Also having no symptoms isn't helping that either 🙈

Congrats @CaribbeanCupcake 🫶🏻 so amazing to hear that, sounds like quite a journey! wishing you all the best 🥰

Sounds like your pretty early so wouldn't worry about any lack of symptoms yet 😀

@twobcomthree thanks so much, yes I'm 14dpt today so very early days!
Congratulations to you too and everyone else on this group! Wishing us all happy and healthy pregnancies ❤️❤️❤️

@CaribbeanCupcake mine was a frozen transfer too 🙂congratulations on your BFP!!

@twobcomthree i had an early scan last Saturday when I was 6 weeks exactly. I had some very light brown blood and cramps. However, baby was found with a strong heartbeat. Cramps and bleeding gone too!

@Infertilitylife aww sorry I read your comment earlier and thought it was fresh for some reason! 🤦🏻‍♀️ thank you and congratulations to you too! Such a strange feeling after waiting so long isn't it! Do you have any symptoms?

Can I join? Congratulations everyone!!
Im only 12dpo and just got a proper positive test today so very early days, trying not to get too excited, had a chemical in February so hoping that doesnt happen again🤞

@CaribbeanCupcake That's ok :) Thank you - it still doesn't feel real does it. I'm feeling really nauseous on and off and i'm so tired all the time. Do you have any symptoms? x

Hi again everyone!

I’m 5+4 weeks today. Had really bad fatigue first couple of weeks after conceiving but that has settled down now. Boobs still sore and have grown loads 😬 and have been having some cramping / pulling type pains in my lower stomach. Some nausea late in the evening sometimes, weirdly! How is everyone getting on?

I’m struggling a bit with anxiety tbh! I feel like there’s not much support out there in this early stage of pregnancy so I’m looking forward to my first scan for some reassurance. Feel so paranoid something will go wrong.
