April 2020 Babies

I'm so excited to start this thread. Looks like I'll be due 1st April from my ovulation day (28th July by last period)!

I'm absolutely over the moon after a MC in May.
Bring on the April Babies!

Hi @LittleRedSocks 22nd April is my EDD too!! 🤗

Can I ask, when did everybody get 3+ on a clear blue digital if they used one? I got 1-2 weeks at 10DPO (afternoon) and then this morning at what would be 19DPO I've got 3+ 🤔 if I use LMP I'm 4+2 today but I think I could actually be a week ahead of that. My mind is blown 🤯😄

Hi @Makingawish! Congrats EDD buddy! So I tested with a digi on 13dpo and got 1-2weeks. To be honest I’m scared to test again - maybe will next week! In your case I’d just say you HCG is rising nice and strong and I wouldn’t worry too much! But I’m definitely no expert! Just I wouldn’t be alarmed at all if I got 3+, I’d be pretty happy 👍xxx

@Makingawish I got my 3 + weeks on my first test at 13dpo! which really surprised me. I don't really understand it but trying not to worry

Thanks for reassuring me @Bathwater @Islandermum @MOGMOGMOG85 I've got a feeling I might need a lot of reassurance along the way 🙈

@Makingawish I got my BFP yesterday and took a digital which said 1-2 weeks which was 12dpo and from my last period date I'm 4 weeks today - but who knows! It's a bit of a minefield to me to be honest. I might test again next week but they're so expensive 😬

When are we supposed to get in touch with the GP? X

@LittleRedSocks @namechange244 @ellarosee everyone seems to have such varying results! I just completely skipped the 2-3 weeks one on it it seems. I've read that high levels of HCG can signal twins (😳) but I think I might have just got my dates wrong or simply have high levels. Praying for the latter 🙈

I found out a week ago that I'm pregnant for the first time!
Got my appointment booked for a month today but if I'm honest I think I'm further on than the doctors think.
It's driving me crazy not knowing exactly how far along I am, and the appointment feels like lightyears away!
Please tell me I'm not the only one feeling like this 😂

The number of weeks pregnant thing is really just a marketing tool so I would try not to read too much into it. Obviously it’s a good sign if it goes from 1-2 to 3+ but it’s not got the accuracy of eg a blood test. I avoid them because I know I would get myself in a panic!

Singme don’t worry I didn’t take it that way - I was trying to say that if you’re going to get GD there’s not a lot you can do to avoid it at this stage - I know that’s not reassuring but you know what I mean! I work with HCPs (I’m not one) and I had a really useful conversation with a MH nurse who practised CBT and she said that anxiety itself could be viewed as a pregnancy symptom. Might not help others, but it did me - knowing that the worry was normal sort of helped me keep it under control

Hey. I'm worried. I don't feel like I have any pregnancy symptoms today. My lower back isn't as sore as it once was. My boobs don't ache at all. I feel a little queasy so even that has eased off. I feel like crying in case I'm having a MMC again. I don't know what to do x

@Pip231018 can you take that second frer? Symptoms come and go so much in early pg, it’s so hard not to worry though isn’t it! Xx

I took a test yesterday and it was such a strong result on a cheap test. I'm just worried that I have no symptoms today. I just feel scared. X

Hey @Pip231018 I don't particularly have many symptoms either (except missed period now) and probably wouldn't put 2+2 together if we weren't TTC. From what I've heard, we should thank our lucky stars!

@Makingawish Yeah, I know. I think it's because I've had such bad lower back pain and been sleepy and today I just feel fine. I'm just so cautious because of my previous MC x

@Pip231018 that looks like an amazing progression based on the tests from this time last week! I think it’s fine, honestly xxx

Tentatively joining this board although I do feel like it's tempting fate a little but could really do with some people to talk to.

@LittleRedSocks, I am also 4+2 tday, due on 22 April and also have a DD3 .

@Makingawish, I took a clearblue on Wed (4+0) and it said 2-3 weeks. I plan to take another one next Wed/Thurs in the hope it's gone up to 3+. Obviously it's a bit of a risky game because if it's not gone up, or even worse it's gone down, I'll probably panic but if it's gone up it should give me a little re-assurance. I did the same thing with my now 3yo.

@ellarosee I'm going to ring my docs to book a booking in appt next week, assuming everything is going ok.

I conceived through IVF so although I have minor waves of nausea and sore boobs on and off I have no way of knowing if it's because I'm pregnant or just all the medication I'm on. I'll be going for an early pregnancy scan somewhere between 6 and 7 weeks as I conceived through IVF so just working towards that at the moment and keeping everything crossed. I had a mmc before falling pregnant with my DD so and I'm pretty paranoid that it's going to happen again. Time is dragging already!!

@lilyj13 had my scan today then measured me as 5+4, I’m 5 + 3 since lmp. Saw a sac and yolk sac and like you, I’m to go back in two weeks! X

Does anyone feel so tired and exhausted also feel like they have the flu

@Wilson1990 that's great news how exciting. I'm feeling so rough today! Tired and feels like I'm coming down with the flu

@Marmite83 👋 hey we were on an ivf thread together! Fellow ivf conception here x

Hi @sometimesalways, how are you getting on?

@Sorbfsiabs I'm about to add you now :)

@Sorbfsiabs I have just added you. Can you add me to the group please

@Marmite83 I did the clear blue weeks indicator again today after having 3 plus on Tuesday now says 2-3 weeks so am stressing that something is wrong!

I wish I hadn't tested again tbh!

@namechange244 that must be worrying but maybe your urine was just weaker today. I've got everything crossed for you.
