Been trying for over a year, then tried SMEP and it's worked first time.

I just can't get over the shock, even though I've been having positive FRERs since Monday so not a complete shock really 😂

Today was the first day of what should have been my period and I've just gotten a 1-2 weeks on a Clear Blue Digital.

This will be my first, all going well I just feel as shocked today as I was on Monday. I have no idea when to phone the Doctors or what to do next (already taking folic acid etc).

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Congratulations! Check online to see what you do in your area - here you just self refer to the maternity hospital rather than speak to the GP. You usually have your first appointment with midwife between 8-10 weeks.

Congratulations!
Ring the doctors as soon as you can, they will book you a midwife appointment.
In the mean time just enjoy it 😊 keep taking your folic acid, there wasn't much more I did... the midwife will go through with you what will happen throughout your pregnancy x

@footlooseandfancy

thanks,

quick Google looks like my area might be the same,

wasn't expecting to feel a bit rotten at this stage , 3rd day in a row I've had to ditch the bra at work 🙈

@Cr17

thank you,

it's such an annoying stage , I have a heavy job so I'm trying to hold off telling them but at the same time I don't want to risk anything.
