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!

@jaylou7 those tests look really good. I hope you can take some comfort in that but understand why you wouldn't.

I think stop testing is the best advice then you cant obsess about the colour of the lines. (However I might not practise what I preach)

Thank you ladies you are all so lovely. 💕

Nope nothing can be done for low blood pressure, I've suffered with it pregnancy and had a time where my BP was dropping to the 80 systolic when I stood up, was awful, but they won't do anything for low blood pressure.
It's when it's high its worrying!

Finally home, weekend off, since lockdown started I've done over my hours every week. Asked to leave early today as not a lot going on.

My nipples are Defo darker, boobs heavier, had a funny tummy today too.
So strange to be having Completely different symptoms this time round.

Oh and my mums card came, so now I'm tempted to tell her, but I'll wait I think a few more weeks! X

@Popcat120 that card is just too cute!!

@laurend0603 congratulations! Looks like a positive to me 😊🙌🏻🎉

ilovetrees30 · 01/05/2020 14:16

@Popcat120 What a lovely way to do it. I would tell my mum now but shes worried about us all as it is and if I added the pregnancy in too she'd be tipped over the edge. Plus shes alone, my dad died four years ago, and she's struggling so badly with this lockdown being on her own.

Welcome @Laurend0603 that looks positive to me

SammyC8194 · 01/05/2020 14:19

Hi ladies, thank you for your concern. So far everything is okay, no bleeding although I'm still in alot of pain. I read that ovulation tests show as positive so I done a cheapy I had in the drawer and got an instant vety strong positive so fingers crossed.

Hope you are all doing okay today xx

SammyC8194 · 01/05/2020 14:20

@ilovetrees30 that's fair enough, hopefully things will ease soon with the virus!

@Laurend0603 Defo positive! Congratulations!

So many of us here now, lockdown has something to answer for 😂

@Laurend0603 congratulations girl!!

Cat028 · 01/05/2020 14:33

@Skybooks @Popcat120 ah okay. Thanks for letting me know. I'll just have to be a bit more careful then. I'm so used to marching around. 😂

@Popcat120 that card is super cute! What a lovely idea.

@Laurend0603 that's a lovely line. Congrats and welcome.

@ilovetrees30 best to wait until you think she will not worry so much. We might be in a different position of lockdown in a few weeks.

@SammyC8194 glad to hear the OPK was strong. I have heard that too but not tried it myself.

whatsthecraic91 · 01/05/2020 14:45

@Popcat120 that card is so cute!! I told my mum on Wednesday I couldn't keep it in, she is so excited! 1st grandchild!!

With my first pregnancy I got my mum a key rinf that said only the best mums get promoted to grandma's...
She didn't get it for ages.
She just went arhh..
Thought I was being nice cos she'd fallen out with her partner, and thought I was talking about my brothers kids! Haha

Is anyone up for a secret FB group, it may be a bit easier than MN....

Jaylou7 · 01/05/2020 15:02

Sounds fab but I need to feel more certain that this pregnancy is viable after my losses. Would be better if I felt ill. Hope that doesn’t sound mean. X

ilovetrees30 · 01/05/2020 15:39

A fb group does sound easier than mumsnet

Popcat120 · 01/05/2020 15:44

Shall I set one up, and people can join when they feel comfortable?

MrsBlue1986 · 01/05/2020 16:02

@popcat120 I may have to steal your idea for the card...such a cute idea!!!

A FB group sounds good, as long as its private etc? Or even messenger!? X

awizardshouldknowbetter · 01/05/2020 16:05

@Popcat120 great idea for a FB group!

Ashworth90 · 01/05/2020 16:06

A FB group / messenger sounds good as long we can stay private 😂

MrsBlue1986 · 01/05/2020 16:07

Pethaps messenger would be easier, and more private?? X

Cat028 · 01/05/2020 16:07

Will a FB group be able to be seen by others? Obvs not really for others to know yet.

Yes, I've been a part of one before, it's secret and hidden.
Noone knows you're in it or joined it!
