I am starting this thread a bit early. I tested yesterday at 9dpo and got a faint positive, which was much darker today. My due date would be the 29 September, but this is my second child and my first was super late, so am assuming this will really be an October baby.

Hi! I've sent a message to Lucy to be added to the Facebook group.

Not exactly sure when I'm due as my test was negative a week ago but I got a good positive test yesterday morning.

Currently suffering from insomnia while my two boys (bf and DS) are snoring next to me. Haha.

@LauEli @Moonstone12 @XSunflower

Thanks for your replies! I feel better now knowing it's normal! I think I'll end up booking an early scan. I just want someone to confirm it for me as it doesn't feel real at the moment 😂

ODAAT260718 · 30/01/2021 08:01

Good morning ladies. I got my BFP today.... Can I join? 😁

GubbleBum21 · 30/01/2021 09:37

Morning everyone, I'm hopefully due 29th September but have always gone a week over in the past, can I join this group? Smile

PippityChippity · 30/01/2021 09:55

If like to tentatively join if possible? I’d be due 12th October if this is a sticky bean but I’m a little worried about the lack of progression with these tests? Only between yesterday and today. Is this normal? Been feeling exhausted and having a “Pulling/Pressure” like sensation in my lower stomach since about 7DPO now. Wishing all you ladies well too! Flowers

@icecreamsundaesprinkles yay congratulations

@PippityChippity they all look like good strong positives, I wouldn't get hung up on the difference in progression in the last 2 photos as at some point the test will have reached its capacity for colour change surely. Try not the stress

Am contemplating a reassurance scan....

anothermonthbitesthedust · 30/01/2021 10:55

Been lurking from a few days and have got a firm positive this morning!
Due 7/10

Good luck to everyone x

Congratulations to all the new BFP's!

I can't remember who was worrying about lack of progression but please try not too. Testing everyday won't help your concerns (says me that's tested twice and ordered 2 more tests that arrive tomorrow 🤣)
You have great strong lines so try and relax (easier said than done!)

I've just booked a reassurance scan for 24/2. I'll be 7+2 then I think. Time is also going so so slow! Eurgh! I hate these first few weeks xxx

BuildingThings · 30/01/2021 14:44

Hello everyone, may I join? 👋

I got my BFP last Sunday at 10DPO, but wanted to wait a bit before joining as I've been experiencing weird cramps everyday that made me nervous. Kept testing and got stronger and stronger positives on Monday, Tuesday and Wed. Is anyone else experiencing cramps?

MrsCremuel · 30/01/2021 16:13

@BuildingThings I haven't had cramps yet with this preg but had really bad ones with my first, thought I had my period and was confused when there was no bleeding!

LauEli · 30/01/2021 16:30

@MrsCremuel they are super strong lines wow!

LauEli · 30/01/2021 16:31

@Moonstone12 proper dragging aren't they. Like I found out last Thursday so in a way its gone quick but also reallllllyyyyy slow 😂

LauEli · 30/01/2021 16:32

@BuildingThings congratulations 😁

Peachi82 · 30/01/2021 17:15

Thanks for adding me to the Facebook group so quickly! I do a proper introduction in a few days when I feel more sure I'm actually pregnant and not just feeling weird.
Contacted my GP with econsult this morning as I do need a higher dose for my thyroid medication. I hope they will issue it without being fussy about it.

It's good to see so many strong positive tests!

BuildingThings · 30/01/2021 17:42

@MrsCremuel Congratulations on your BFP!
it does feel like period cramps, but maybe a tad milder and no bleeding!

@LauEli thank you and congratulations to you as well!
Thanks for inviting me to the FB group.

@Peachi82 I wanted to wait a bit longer as well, but really wanted to chat about it all!

Is anyone feeling any food aversions yet? I have only had toast for the last two days! Who knew the symptoms would start this early! Shock

Farmer20 · 30/01/2021 18:00

Hey everyone..congratulations on all the BFPs
Could I join the Facebook group??
I am 29 this will be our first, I had a miscarriage at 8 weeks back in July so feeling one edge about getting too excited but crossing everything this one is a sticky bean 🤞
Due approx 4/10

Bobs82 · 30/01/2021 18:34

Hi all. Please can I join your group! Im 38 and due approx. 6/10. Ive had three recurrent miscarriages so obviously very nervous! This is my first baby.

LauEli · 30/01/2021 19:14

If anyone would like adding to the Facebook group you can add me Laura Pullen-ford or Lucy Roxanne 😊

Daydream88 · 30/01/2021 19:20

Hi 🙋🏻‍♀️ I tested positive 9days ago, unsure of due date yet but I assume October time can I please join, this will be my 9th pregnancy with only 1 child, I miscarried back in November went hospital today nothing showed on scan but my hcg level is at 2054 any advice would be great as I’m a complete anxious wreck at the moment xx

LauEli · 30/01/2021 19:32

@Daydream88 I'm so sorry you've been through all that, let's just hope there was nothing to see because your only early days.
I'm 4+2 my due date is 6th October all being well 😊

Lrose222 · 30/01/2021 19:41
