Hi everyone!

There doesn’t seem to be a thread yet for July 2021, probably because most of you haven’t got your BFP yet! I got mine yesterday at 9DPO which was super early but had a pretty clear line on a FRER with afternoon urine, so confirmed with a digital. My due date is 4th July 2021 and I can’t wait for more of you to join me!! Feeling excited but a bit overwhelmed / not everything has sunk in yet. Also it’s still super early so I’m crossing my fingers (and legs!) that this little one sticks. It’s my first baby so I have no experience of any of this!

Hopefully see more of you in the next few days!!

Xx

@NamechangeTTC your like me, although my boobs have stopped they did feel really tingly when I first found out.
Do you have a really long cycle? Mine range from 29-35 days usually more 31.
We have same due date from LMP but I’m sure I ovulated around the 30/10 and like you started to get a strong BFP around 10 dpo. I was due yesterday, I keep checking like mad still feel like I’m waiting for AF to arrive x

@Pepper0610 @NamechangeTTC
My symptoms are greatly noticable, my boobs seem less sore and I feel a bit crampy and nauseous, convinced AF is going to show! Was due yesterday and she had yet to appear but still keep checking 🙈

MamaMoonbeam · 17/11/2020 09:29

*not greatly noticeable 🤦🏻‍♀️

Ladies, looks like I'm on my way out of this group. 2 MC so far, this is my 3rd pregnancy and yet my lines have started to get fainter. I'm 4 weeks 6 days today. I'm just not sure my heart can take this. They say these things are sent to try us but why do I need trying. I'm devasted at the thought if another MC. Sorry for being a negative, I just don't know where else I can turn to.

@Pepper0610 not usually, usually ovulate day 14-16. Ovulated day 21 so it’s strange. Based on LMP I’m 4+4. On ovulation I’d be 3+6 I think. I know nhs use the 4+4 one. Means I’m due around my birthday.

@TTCbabyBrown I’m sorry. I have no idea what to say in this but the lines still look definite. Would your gp do bloods?

TTCbabyBrown · 17/11/2020 10:24

@NamechangeTTC I have got an appointment for tomorrow at the early pregnancy unit for them to take bloods but even they didn't sound hopeful on the phone.

Please keep everything crossed for me. I have no idea how I'm supposed to have the strength to keep going through this.

So sorry that you have experienced 2 mc & are worried now. Have you called your GP? They may be able to order blood tests to check your HCG levels. Have all of those tests been done first thing?

@TTCbabyBrown Im the same sweetheart- miscarriage 3 this year.
Best of luck and love to you x x x

Lostwordsblessing · 17/11/2020 11:46

@NamechangeTTC There definitely looks like a progression! Fingers crossed for you Daffodil

Lostwordsblessing · 17/11/2020 11:49

@TTCbabyBrown To me there looks to be two lines but of course have my thoughts on a positive outcome at the doctors tomorrow. Don’t apologise for being negative, not at all. Share what you need to x

PurBal · 17/11/2020 12:50

[quote Julybaby2021]@PurBal im doing ok. Been having alot of nausea last few days. Have my early scan tomorrow. Still having some spotting😰 so nervous for tomorrow😬🤭 hows everything with you? Xx[/quote]
@Julybaby2021 Been thinking of you today. No change here really and no more spotting. I definitely continue to have pregnancy symptoms (nausea, cramping, tiredness) so trying to remain cautiously optimistic.

PurBal · 17/11/2020 12:54

@Julybaby2021 and the boobs! Feel like we're back in Lockdown Part I the amount I'm wearing a bra (not at all)

Pepper0610 · 17/11/2020 13:24

@NamechangeTTC ahh I see, how funny are our bodies!
Is this your 1st baby? Have you been TTC long?

@TTCbabyBrown I have everything crossed for you, still very much looks positive to me x

bellaclava · 17/11/2020 13:41

just popping my head in to say hi. due at the end of july with a 'surprise' baby! already have an 18 month old DD. nice to 'meet' you all!

luxxlisbon · 17/11/2020 13:47

I cannot wait for the cramping to stop! 6 weeks on Thursday and every single time I go for a wee I hold my breath when I check for spotting.

I expected feeling sick, or tired or moody but I didn't expect the cramping so it puts me on edge.

flic88 · 17/11/2020 13:51

Hi all, would like to join the group as well. Got my bfp on Saturday which was a bit of a shock as have been trying for over a year and was expecting another negative. Going by my lmp I am due 19th July. Called the Doc yesterday and was told to self refer and have been told the midwife will be in contact by 8-10 weeks. Bit disappointed not to have any support before then, so have been reading up on what I should be taking and doing. Only symptoms I have had are mildly sore boobs and light cramping which which I would get the time I am due af. Fingers crossed I won't get any sickness.

stellarfox · 17/11/2020 14:14

@TTCbabyBrown They look like they are progressing to me except for the last one. Did you take the tests at the same time every day and did you drink anything before the last one? That can make a difference. Also the others may have got darker as time went on if you only just did the bottom one. Fingers crossed for you. If it is a chemical and it’s happened 3 times the doctors will be able to assess you to check in case there’s anything wrong. Hope it doesn’t come to that though x

Congratulations everyone new! I can’t keep up here! We must be near the end of July now for due dates. There’s 50+ of us over on the Facebook group now so if anyone wants to join send a direct message to the OP :)

luxxlisbon · 17/11/2020 14:25

I don't know if this is a stupid question but can your FB contacts see if you have joined the group? I don't want anyone to know yet so I don't know if i can join.

Julybaby2021 · 17/11/2020 14:58

@PurBal thankyou for thinking of me☺️ my scan went well.. no explanation for the spotting & im exactly as far on as i thought i was. 6+4 seen the heartbeat flickering away & all seems healthy. So 🤷‍♀️ your symptoms are a good sign.. if your having them i'd say everything should be good with you☺️🙏 my boobs have been awful too.😭 xx

Pepper0610 · 17/11/2020 15:04

@luxxlisbon no nobody can see the group unless your invited into it. The only way would be if someone you knew was also in the group x

Hmm I'm not so sure of that. I clicked on the fb group link that was posted on here a couple of days ago and even though I wasn't yet part of the group, and it did say private, I could see the title of the group and the names of 3 people in the group, not sure why it was those particular 3 people. It made me think twice about joining, so unfortunately I won't be joining any FB group until I have told friends and family first just in case x

PurBal · 17/11/2020 15:40

@Julybaby2021 this is such amazing news! So glad it went well.

This 👆🏻 There seem to be two groups but the one the op set up hasn’t had links shared on here & is completely private. You can’t even search for it on FB, it’s invite only x

I have the cramping too! I swear af is on the way 🤦🏻‍♀️
Pepper0610 · 17/11/2020 16:19

@Luckyelephant1 I think @NotMorePeppa is right the one with the link above is the second group floating about I’m not part of that one. The OP group I couldn’t find when I searched I had to add a lady for her to invite me into it, I got my OH to search for it too and he couldn’t see it x
