January 2021 Babies!

[Popcat120]

Hi!
Just got my BFP this weekend.
I got my first faint positive Friday morning with an frer, and today it's much darker (11dpo)!

Leading up to my bfp, I've had icky feeling, tiredness, dizzy spells, headaches, cramps.
Not feeling as icky as with my last pregnancy yet though!
Provisional due date of 7th January using the NHS calculator.

Come and join once you've got your bfp for January 2021, for a few pregnancy pals!

I'm from Exeter in Devon 😊

@Cat028 I havent told the gym yet but I told them last time and they said that at the beginning you are okay continuing what you were doing. Plus I dont have really heavy weights or anything so cant go too mad at home. I will tell them.

@MrsBlue1986 excellent effort for 2 days 👏🏻 I might throw some olives on my pizza tomorrow to make me feel better 😄🤭

@whatsthecraic91 yeh my cycles have been between 26-49 days so who knows! Xx

@Midge15 I'm from Cambridgeshire too!! Congratulation and hi everyone! I did post a few days ago but theres so many of us now.

I'm feeling super anxious I have to admit. Any slight feeling I'm checking for bleeding or that my boobs still hurt :( I have a private scan booked for 17th May. Currently they aren't letting partners in, in this are although that may change in 2 weeks I guess.

@Midge15 hello and congrats! Another fellow anxious person here! First BFP, first pregnancy etc etc and feeling absolutely clueless! I am inspecting every wee for any sign of bleeding and am hyper aware of every twinge and cramp in the belly! I've booked my private scan in for the 23rd May and like you they've said no partners, which is such a shame but totally understandable. Fingers crossed the whole situation improves quickly.

@Lakes10 Haha, put 5 olives on, and there you go... 5 a day! 😊 xx

@sammyc8194 Hey, im the same as you. I keep doing cheap pregnancy tests to check the line is still positive.. when are you due AF? Im due Sunday so part of me thinks its not official until irs after sunday¿ haha. Thats what my husband said too haha xx

@SammyC8194 hello and congrats! Another fellow anxious person here! First BFP (big fat positive), first pregnancy etc etc and feeling absolutely clueless! I am inspecting every wee for any sign of bleeding and am hyper aware of every twinge and cramp in the belly! I've booked my private scan in for the 23rd May and like you they've said no partners, which is such a shame but totally understandable. Fingers crossed the whole situation improves quickly.

@MrsBlue1986 af was due last Saturday/Sunday. My average cycle is 40 days although can be 37 or 45 or anything in between. Going with an average of 40 I will be due 2and Jan although I'm fully expecting that to change and possibly even be earlier. My clearblue said 2-3 on Monday when I tested so I have another for tomorrow and for Sunday to check it's gone to 3+, other than that theres not much we can all do. Its just so horrible not knowing if everything is okay! Take care and rest lots :)

@awizardshouldknowbetter welcome and congrats to you too! Easier said than done (and I am not taking my own advice) but try to relax a bit, you have your scan to look forward to!

Hi ladies, hoping to join this group please!
Recognise some names from conception threaf, so 👋 again!
Im currently 19DPO on 1st baby to be.
Very relieved to see im not the only one experiencing pretty period like cramps. For me, they are not constant and are infrequent but when they hit, man they are sharp!
Today was first day getting really bad nausea. All day long. And sleeping alot more, especially after eating.
Still, i wouldnt change it for the world!!
Due date 5th jan 2020 but i suspect that will change as I have a long cycle (33 days). Have viability scan booked for 2 weeks time, I will be 7 weeks 1 day by then. Pretty nervous already (last two pregnancies ended in losses). Has anyone booked in with their midwives/ drs yet?

@ilovetrees30 I'll try and get back to it this week. I'm sure if I take my time with it it'll be okay.

@SammyC8194 I totally get home you feel. I am checking all the too. I think it's normal to be anxious to begin with. Hope the next 2 weeks goes quickly for you.

I had a look on YouTube for some pregnancy workouts and they are all doing jumping jacks and high knees 😅 the jumping gives me anxiety!! And they all say to not start any new fitness regimes - like how the hell are you meant to get fit if you didn't do much exercise before you were pregnant!?

Hi ladies, can I join too please?
So I got my BFP on Sunday and currently 4+ 3days.
EDD is 4th Jan 2021. We already have a 19 month old so it'll be busy!

Symptoms at the minute are extremely tired, all the time, funny tummy, sometimes starving sometimes not bothered about food. But yday and today I am in really bad form, like on and off, I am so emotional its scary! Don't remember being this contrary last time round! Hate that I feel this way! Really hoping it goes away. As I am so so happy to be pregnant again, want to enjoy it.

Any you ladies recommend a certain vitamin?
I'm taking boots own folic with added Vit D I think. But I'd like to order something a bit more branded any recommendations?

@Elmlee I have been taking these for about 6 months they are very good quality

Ironic post, considering..🤣🤣🤣🤭

Hi again all, I just wanted to jump on and say I've been having really awful cramps since late evening. I'm fully expecting to start bleeding probably by the morning. It's not to one side or anything and medically I am well so just staying home for now. Sorry for the negativity on a lovely thread, I just dont have anyone else to talk to that knows about the pregnancy 💛

I will keep you updated x

@SammyC8194 no need to apologise lovely, this is all so new (and scary!) to so many of us and this is the perfect place to voice concerns. Are you able to talk to a go or midwife today? Are you feeling any better this morning?

@SammyC8194 I'm so sorry lovely. Keep us posted. It could be nothing? I've read cramps are very normal!

@ivoryjane congratulations! 🌟 Did you keep testing after your BFP?

I posted this on another thread but I'm panicking with this line progression. My 16dpo looks lighter than 15.. what do you think?

@gb000 im in same boat. Im 20 DPO today and has two losses in last pregnancies hence so worried and checking everything. Here is my mine progression. Id welcome any opinions good or bad from all you lovely ladies

Also.anyone using IC First step? They seem to be rubbish, take a look at 19dpo on the frer and then the IC!! Omg!

@gb000 I had a panic yesterday. Here's my first one at 15dpo and 17dpo, which is slightly lighter. Ive spoken to a lot of people since who have reassured me - basically there are loads of reasons it's could be lighter - the dye in the test, how long ago you peed/drank water etc when you tested. There's even something called the Hook Effect which is rare but means you can show as not pregnant at all because of too much HCG! But unless you're having severe pains or heavy bleeding it's my understanding there's no reason for concern :)

@Babytobe your lines still looks dark enough to be a clear positive to me! Can't believe those IC tests! That's terrible!

@SammyC8194 I hope you're okay this morning x

I have a digital to try this weekend! It will be nice to see the word pregnant 😆

@awizardshouldknowbetter thank you!
I know, the IC are unreal. Hopefully this post might save someone from panicking in the future if they use them.

Forgot to actually upload todays test at 20DPO 🤭🤦‍♀️ so here it is. Am a bit more reassures to see todays line a wee bit stronger than yesterday. Its insane, because i didnt sleep well, this is on about (a max) of 4hrs morning pee. Ans yst was after about 12hrs sleep and morning pee. Sorry for tmi!!
Does anyone have any hcg levels done yet? Was thinking that might finally put my mind at ease
