Hey everyone!!! I know I’m super early as I’m 12dpo but I’ve finally had my “pregnant” on clear blue digital and I’m over the moon. I’ve been trying to tell myself not to get tooo excited as I had a chemical pregnancy in March but, too late haha. I’m so excited and happy! May as well be positive about it..

Anyone else just found out they’re pregnant and due in February 2021? The NHS due date calculator puts at the 3rd February. What’s your symptoms been so far ?

Xx

@Harper04 I just went I thank you @hi just went to the hospital maternity website and filled out the form :)
Myra I figure that we wouldn't have our son if the MMC hadn't happened. Silver linings :)

Sorry about the typing- my phone went crazy

Hi!

Had my bfp this morning at 12dpo. Calculated due date as Feb 4th from my ovulation date :) First pregnancy

Had to email the maternity unit and just had a form to fill out to return when 6-7 weeks since last period (last period was actually 8 weeks ago) but I ovulated really late so only 12dpo. And then I'll have an hour long phone call with the midwife according to the email I got..

I've had sore nipples since ovulation, boobs are now killing me last few days and I've had cramping/pulling. all usual for me before AF except the nipples, and the overall boob ache is now severe haha.

prompted to test as my BBT rose again by a lot for past 3 days and OPK test strips started getting darker 😁

Harper04 · 26/05/2020 21:37

@lydia771 Hey! Congratulations on your BFP this morning! I’m going to ring the GP tomorrow to let them know, I don’t know why it makes me feel nervous 😂 It will feel official then!

Sore boobs/nipped were my first sign on my first pregnancy but I haven’t had them this time! ... yet! They just have a roadmap of blue veins 😂 I’m still addicted to testing even after my positives haha!

Hi

I got my bfp on Saturday, edd is 04 February. This will be my third, I have a 3yr old & 17 month. I thoroughly recommend joining the fb baby group created by@February2021. I am in groups for both my children & they have been invaluable.

A08x · 27/05/2020 06:11

Hiya! So many BFP’s from when I last seen the thread yesterday! Congrats all 💗 the fb group is a great idea, I’m a bit nervous though, is it definitely one of the ones that doesn’t come up on my timeline lol? X

@Harper04 Thankyou for your reassurance ❤️ I waited (as painfully difficult as that was) to test this morning again, used my other clear blue (not dig yet) and the line was much stronger than Monday evening. I also sat like a looney and read about 30 past threads of people with my issue of this brown spotting & it seems quite common to happen with no explanation! It’s not nearly as heavy as a period, I don’t need to wear a liner or anything! I just wish it would stop as it’s making me so anxious! I read on a few websites that exercise can cause it, although I wouldn’t compare my work to exercise as such, I’ve walked over 50,000 steps in the last 4 days plus moving heavy patients so wonder if that has contributed. Have 4 day’s off now and gonna rest and pray it stops!! How are you feeling? Did you do one of your digi tests? ❤️ Xx

Harper04 · 27/05/2020 07:58

@Woody096 hey! Congrats on your BFP 🎊 Yes it’s such a good idea, I’ve joined!

@A08 I’m so so happy to hear that!! I was thinking of you ❤️ I also read that some people just some bleeding and spotting throughout their whole pregnancy! Oh my god I can imagine you doing all those steps 🙈 I bet you’re barely getting your break! It’s cruel when they rota you in for 3 in a row let alone 4! I’m sure these next 4 days are lush weather too 😍 I’m good, just really off my food. I’m starving but there’s nothing I want to eat it’s so strange! My clear blue digital said 2-3 yesterday, so happy 😍 Just going to keep testing everyday to make sure these lines are getting stronger 🤞🏼 May ring the GP today even though I’m super early, I’m worried of something going wrong again. I’m on the FB group and it’s private so no one can see! Xx

Aww thankyou❤️ It was so unlucky.. my sat / Sunday was the end of one off duty & Monday Tuesday was the start of the next! Definitely going to enjoy chilling now. Still not sure what to do about telling work, as from what I’ve read it’s only after a certain number of weeks into pregnancy you need to stay off🤦🏼‍♀️

Oh really..just nothing you’re feeling in the mood for? Hopefully that passes soon & you find something you take a notion for! That’s so exciting so happy for you, must have been amazing to see the words! Where abouts are you? For my health board we have a contact number for midwifery referral so going to phone them on Friday / Monday once I’ve done digital. No harm at all in calling your GP today! They do tell you sooner is better ☺️ Positive thoughts although I understand it must be worrying for you having had previous loss 😔
I’ve joined it too. It’s great to be on here & have the fb group now also, my husband and I haven’t told a soul (really struggling not to tell my mum as we’re pretty close but I wanna wait a while and tell her in an exciting surprise way🙈). This is our first ever pregnancy so the 2 of us are like a pair of lost souls. Had to google today what the numbers mean (when people say 5+3 etc).. felt so silly when I seen what it meant 😂😂 Xx

lydia771 · 27/05/2020 12:10

I just got my CB digital in the post, it says pregnant 2-3 but I'm 13dpo today, shouldn't it be 1-2? or have I got my ovulation wrong 🙄😂

SundayChilling · 27/05/2020 16:00

I’m only 11dpo and already getting so anxious, felt a bit crampy all day so took another CB digital - still says pregnant 1-2 weeks. I think I’m either going to give myself a nervous breakdown or go broke burning through digital tests - I blame amazon prime! 😂 is it just me?!

Harper04 · 27/05/2020 17:20

@A08x ohhh is it!? It should be anyone who’s pregnant I think! Yeah I’ve just gone off my food for some reason but really hungry 😫 I got like this with my daughter, it was only for a few weeks luckily! I usually love my food!
I’m from Wales, you? I don’t think we can self refer here 🙄 I’ve looked everywhere! I rang the GP and they said to ring back end of next week? I was like oh okay 😂 No we haven’t either, I want to get to 12 weeks before telling anyone, which is going to be really hard. How do you think you’re going to do it? I was going to get a little personalised baby grow!
It is all confusing mind, all this pregnancy lingo 😂 How are you feeling today? Xx

@lydia771 I had the same and was confused as I was 13dpo yesterday! But then from my last period all of my apps say I’m 4 weeks pregnant.

@SundayChilling oh Amazon is lethal!! I’ve ordered so many tests knowing I can get them the next day 🙈 Don’t worry I’ve been super crampy for a few days, when I rang the GP today they said it’s really common. Doesn’t stop the worrying though! This is going to be a long 9 months 😂 I think I’ll be less anxious when I hit that 12 weeks 🤞🏼

SundayChilling · 27/05/2020 17:46

Thanks @Harper04 reassuring to hear that. Think I’m just going to have to accept I will keep on testing as long as I can get them delivered! 😂 will feel a bit better when I see the 3-4 weeks doesn’t feel real at all yet!

Harper04 · 28/05/2020 12:34

@SundayChilling me too! I have a digital left so saving it for next week 🙌🏼 How are you feeling?

OP posts:
SundayChilling · 28/05/2020 13:09

@Harper04 feeling a bit more relaxed today, still a little crampy but I’m hoping that’s a positive sign! Think I will feel better once Sunday comes and passes without AF turning up, also my 1 year wedding anniversary so keeping my fingers crossed! 🤞

A08x · 28/05/2020 15:04

@Harper04 hopefully you have your appetite back soon! Especially if you’re normally a foodie that must be a nightmare 😩 I’m from Scotland, my healthboard has a contact number to ring to refer yourself so gonna do that tomorrow. That’s so weird asking you to call back! Yeah us too, wanna wait til 12 weeks. Although we’re gonna book a scan for 8 weeks & after that if all is ok I think I’ll tell my mum. I’m in a bit of a sticky situation as my mums a health visitor in my local health centre and works closely with the community midwives, so I’d hate for my name to appear somewhere before I’ve told her!
The babygrow idea is so sweet! I keep looking at ideas on Instagram & Pinterest and that seems like a winner so far ☺️ I’ve been getting a bit nauseous the last few days, nothing too severe. I’ve been describing it to my husband as the feeling you get when you’re at the hungover stage where you feel ok enough to go for food 😂😂 So you still have that underlying sicky feeling to remind you that you’ve been drinking the night before, but not so bad that you can’t stomach anything hahaha! Also full on boaked & was sick today at the smell of a homemade ppe mask ??! It smelled so strongly to me of plane food (hubs smelled it & said it smelled absolutely nothing like that) 😂😂 other than that just tired but also waking up super early which is NOT like me and still this pain in the ass spotting! Been doing tests again last night and today and the line is getting way stronger so I’m trying not to worry. When I refer to MW I’ll ask them about it! How have you been? Any more tests? Xxx

Chicken123 · 28/05/2020 15:11

Hi ladies.
I hope you don’t mind me joining in.
I have had 2 faint positives today and I’m confused as to how many weeks this would make me.
I started AF 1st May and ovulated around 16th.
I’m 12dpo today.
I’m feeling incredibly overwhelmed x

Chicken123 · 28/05/2020 15:38

I’ve just used the NHS calculator and I’m apparently 3 weeks and due 6th Feb.
Won’t get ahead of myself though, still early and line is fairly faint so will test in a couple of days I think.
Congrats to you all x

SundayChilling · 28/05/2020 16:50

Hi @Chicken123 congrats 😊 You’re the same as me - I’m also 12 dpo, still feels very surreal! How you feeling so far?

Chicken123 · 28/05/2020 17:06

Hi @SundayChilling
Nice to speak to someone in the same boat!
I’m okay. Bloated and crappy and my boobs are hurting a lot today. Oh, and my lower back is in agony.
How’re you? X

SundayChilling · 28/05/2020 17:14

@Chicken123 same here, especially as only my DH knows currently! I’ve felt a bit crampy today and yesterday, trying not to take lots of tests! It’s definitely overwhelming, is this your first too? x

Chicken123 · 28/05/2020 17:37

@SundayChilling
Yeah, I’m the same. I don’t quite believe it, and still in shock.
Going to hold out taking them now for a couple days.
I haven’t told my other half yet, because I did it and then came straight to work. We haven’t been “trying” so it was a shock for me, so going to figure out how to tell him. I know he’ll be happy (after the initial surprise).
Yeah, first x

Harper04 · 28/05/2020 18:44

@A08x me too! Hopefully I’ll feel good tomorrow for a nice Friday night takeaway 😏 Ohh that’s so good, I looked online and it seems as though everywhere does it apart from Wales 😂 Typical! I’m 4+3 today so I’ll ring at 5 weeks!
I know that feeling very well after a night out 🤮🙈 I hope that symptom doesn’t stay too long for you! I’ve been feeling really refreshed when I wake up when I usually struggle to wake up, but the same as you, I’m so tired in the evening. I could sleep now! I’m sure it’ll be absolutely fine 🤞🏼 I downloaded that app you told me about and on the daily section is mentions spotting! I’ve still been testing every morning on internet cheapies! They’re getting darker everyday so I feel so happy! It feels different this time. I have a digi left so I’ll do that next week and hopefully get 3-4!
Are we speaking on Facebook about absolutely loving Disney btw? Wasn’t sure if it was you? Complete ignore that if you have no idea what I’m talking about 😂 xx

@Chicken123 Hey!! Congrats on your BFP ❤️ so exciting! Hope your back stops hurting soon! There’s nothing worse than a bad back. I’m okay thanks, just feeling bleh most the day. Thats the best I can describe it 😂 I don’t know what to do with myself most of the day but staying in isn’t helping I guess!

Ooo any ideas on how to surprise your OH yet?
