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!

Really can't believe it! Feeling a mixture of excitement and apprehension! Trying not to get too ahead of myself but its so hard!! X

Hi all. I have just got a very faint positive on a FRER. I have a 20 month DS. It took us months last time so was not expecting this so soon... we have been trying for weeks. It's crazy and I'm a bit overwhelmed and shell shocked. A moments group that went kn to be a fb group was a lifetime for me last time so hi all. Hope you are all well and happy :)

[Popcat120]

Congratulations @cactuslove.
Wow similar age gap to my DS.
We've been really lucky to fall first time both times!
Both times I said to OH, oh it'll take ages.... It seems not! 😂

Hi all!
BFP came at 10dpo - I’m around 4 weeks pregnant today. Due 3.1.2020.
I have also told work as in a children’s social worker, so I’m WFH and not visiting!

I have had cramps, but they seem to be subsiding, nipples were really sensitive from about 4dpo, but they seem to be going too - although my boobs and aerola have gone HUGE! And I’m super tired all the time! Other than that I actually feel pretty good - I even go as far to say ecstatic, which is making me feel a little uneasy!

I had a MMC in December, so I’m very anxious and very sceptical - but fingers crossed to my rainbow 🌈 and a healthy and happy 9months! My advice for myself is to not track every damn thing and try to take it easy 😂

Hi @milkshake54!
Welcome and congratulations!!! 🎉

[bluemonday2020]

Hi ladies can I join too please? I am 30 and first time TTC. My expected due date is on the 9th of Jan using my natural cycles app. Recently found out I was pregnant, although still early days as I am 10 dpo and AF is due this Wednesday. I will wait until AF’s scheduled time to pass before I self register online. I am intrigued by a private scan at 8 weeks, I need to do more research.
Nice to meet you all and looking forward to chatting soon! xxx

[Bathwater]

@Milkshake54 and @Amanda855 we have the same nhs calculator due date!

I found out last Friday after an epic meltdown that made me test.

I’ve had 3MMC in the last year since starting TTC so hopeful this is the time it works.

[Milkshake54]

@Bathwater hopeful for both our rainbows 🌈 🌈

[Popcat120]

Hello ladies!
Congratulations on your bfps!
🎊 Quite a few of us here now!

[mrsevo88]

How's everyone getting on with symptoms? I'm not too bad atm.
Just a bit more tired than normal and feeling a bit sick now and again. Think my boobs have grown but no pain...yet!

[Katie1109]

Good morning ladies, do you mind if I join? I had my BFP on FRER on Sunday after few faint ones last week. We were TTC 10-11 months and had a very early loss in August last year x according to my calculations I’m due 3rd of January and I am currently 4 + 2.
The only symptom I’ve got so far is slightly sore boobs and nipples but nothing else. Should I be feeling anything else? I’m starting to worry. I had no implantation bleed or pains or anything at all really, just slight tugging and pulling down there last week x

[Popcat120]

Welcome. Welcome!!

My nausea is terrible again. 🤢
I've never been sick with my pregnancies, just constant nausea.
I lost about a stone in first trimester last time Because I just couldn't eat.

Hope everyone is getting on OK.

[Trying2b]

Morning all! Hope everyone is doing OK. Is anyone else still testing to confirm the line is getting darker? I've had chemicals and MC before so guess I'm just a little nuts now, but I also have 2 healthy happy kids (aged 5 and 2) so I should be able to relax a bit! I've got 1 more FRER and 2 CB digitals, guess I'll use them up and hopefully be able to chill! With my MC last month I used a CB in the 3rd week after ovulation and it came back 1-2weeks, but I was expecting 2-3weeks. I miscarried shortly after so I guess that was a sign.

With regards to symptoms, I suffered badly with sickness from 7-25 weeks both times before, so in these early days it definitely doesn't feel like I'm pregnant at all because I'm used to feeling horrendous! It's strange how I'm actually looking forward to feeling like that again (although I know ill regret saying that soon!) xx

[Milkshake54]

@mrsevo88 it’s as if I could have written that myself. I generally feel quite elated, although I am very tired!
I’m pretty sure I had implantation cramps as I needed to cut a walk short as it was painful.
But other than that - feeling pretty normal. I was feeling a bit worried about it, so I’m glad to read you are feeling the same!

[Trying2b]

Oh @popcat120 you're feeling the sickness already!! I'm sorry to hear that, it's tough, but also weirdly reassuring don't you think? Did you find anything that helped your sickness?? I never did. Tried everything but never had much success. I did crave dairylee dunkers though, which made me feel better for about 10 minutes in each day! X

[Popcat120]

@trying2b nope nothing. Just had to eat plain little and often..
And those buttermilk mints I think there are butter something mints. Sucking on that gave me a few mins relief!

Feel like I'm. Having hot flushes too constantly.

Just told my manager . She was fine, laughed, said bloody lockdown 😂

[Milkshake54]

Popcat, in my last pregnancy I swore by butterscotch sweets (sugar free) like werthers original (but a cheaper version 😂) and chewing gum!

[Cat028]

Hi all, hope you don't mind me joining. I am feeling very anxious after my BFP Sunday and a confirmed CB test that dated me as 2-3. We have been trying for 3 and a half years and were halfway through fertility investigations when we went into lockdown. Trying hard not to get myself too excited but at the same time absolutely thrilled. NHS due date calculator puts my due date at 3rd Jan 2021.

[Katie1109]

@Cat028 your due date is identical to mine and I also had my BFP on Sunday x congratulations and let’s hope for sticky beans for us x 🥰 how are you feeling? I must say I’ve got zero symptoms other than slightly sore boobs and nipples x I probably should count myself lucky but for now it worries me x I’m 4+2 today x

[Milkshake54]

Katie - I’m around the same weeks as you, and also only have the symptoms you have! I’ve already be reassured by this thread that it’s seems normal as I was worried 😊

[Bexy80]

Hi ladies can I join too please? I’ve just had a positive on the first response test, i’m 7dpo atm and due around 11th Jan :) We have a 3 1/2 year old boy already 🥰 I had a pretty horrific end to my last pregnancy and I’ve only recently decided I was ready to try again xxx

[SpacePug]

Hey everyone. I'm feeling very bloated, I think I had this in my first pregnancy too. I meant to take a second test today to prove it to myself but I forgot. The test I did yest was in the afternoon but the lines were so dark, I tried to post a pic but it didn't seem to post

[Cat028]

@Katie1109 thank you. Congratulations to you too. I'm keeping everything crossed for everyone. It would be an absolute dream come true. I'm feeling okay. Gone off my food a bit, been feeling a bit sick and that's been putting me off eating. How have you been feeling?

@Bexy80 congratulations! Lovely news even if it was a bit earlier than you expected.

@spacepug are you going to test again tomorrow?

[TheBeesKnee]

So I had a BFP at 7DPO. Today (9DPO) I had a BFN, which is crushing as my breasts are sore, I'm bloated and I'm experiencing cramping. I thought it was implantation, but Google says it's most likely a chemical pregnancy

If AF doesn't arrive I'll take another test but right now I just want to crawl into a hole and die.

Sorry to dampen the mood, everyone and best of luck to you all.

[Bexy80]

@thebeeskee Oh babe I’m so sorry 😭
