It’s a little early but thought it would be nice to have a thread for those of us due babies in October.

I’m due DC2 on the 9th (according to online calculator) and only found out yesterday.

Anyone want to join?!

@frols so sorry Daffodil. How many weeks are you? Can you see if you can speak to the EPU on Monday to confirm? Sending hugs, it's a horrible thing to go through.

Leonberger · 13/02/2021 20:01

I’m so sorry @frols.
I would go to the EPU to be sure, hope you are okay Sad

sandsandwiches · 13/02/2021 21:12

So sorry @frols πŸ’ such hard time to go through. Hope you're being extra long to yourself today.

sandsandwiches · 13/02/2021 21:13

That meant to say kind (autocorrect.)

tomahto · 13/02/2021 21:49

Hi guys! I'm four weeks today with a due date 23 Oct according to the calculators I found online. I only found out I was pregnant 2 days ago but I will call my GP soon to see what they recommend to do now. I tried to request to join the FB group but did not hear back from crabette.. Maybe the group is now full?

Thank you all so much for your messages! 5 weeks so still early. I will call them on Monday to confirm. Ive been through some other threads on here today, probably not the best idea, but ive seen women having to wait a few days for a scan so hopefully I can be seen quickly and have a definite answer. I have pcos and this was our first month trying to i was completely amazed to catch first time so im feeling positive knowing we can get pregnant. But im trying to pray for the best but prepare for the worst

I’m so sorry *@frols*. I would go to the EPU to be sure, hope you are okay Sad

@sandsandwiches

So sorry *@frols* πŸ’ such hard time to go through. Hope you're being extra long to yourself today.
Thank you, I tried to have a relaxed day. A bit of a waiting game now to have it all confirmed. X

Have sent you a PM @tomahto on sending me your details. Facebook group is definitely not full and open to all😊

Anyone else who wants to join, just send me a PM with the email address linked to your Facebook account and we’ll get an invite sent! It’s hidden and private so no one will know 😊

imisscoffee · 14/02/2021 16:29

So sorry @frols look after yourself lovely Flowers

ACWI2021 · 14/02/2021 17:27

Hi all,

Been following this thread a bit, but wasn't sure if I want to jinx myself by posting earlier as I had a CP back in Oct, and joined a pregnancy thread for June....sadly one post and I was out! This time around, tested for line progression and got my dye stealer on frer at 5+5, and today at 6+3 I got a 3+ on clear blue digital 😊 think it is safe enough now to officially join a pregnancy group! Due date is around 12th Oct (altho FF thinks it's 7th Oct, I ovulate late compared to others, usually around cd20).

How is everyone getting through these days waiting for their first scan? I'm going crazy already....hence became poas addict, but I don't think I would get anything more from them now...so need to find another distraction. Thinking of booking a private scan before mother's Day, and then tell both sides of the parents!

@frols sorry to hear about the cramps and bleeding, hope you are ok, sending hugs

@PumpkinEverything sent you a pm about joining the FB group 😊

jonrik · 14/02/2021 18:15

Congrats @ACWI2021. I know what you mean, I can't wait to be able to tell everyone. I've already told all on my side of the family πŸ™ˆ we've had ivf and first scan is at 7 1/2 weeks, so second week of March, NHS scan is booked at 12 weeks. But even the three weeks I'm not sure I can wait. I just want to see with my own eyes if everything is ok. Private scans are Β£59 so that feels worth the peace of mind.
When is your first scan?

sandsandwiches · 14/02/2021 19:21

Glad you've been able to relax a bit today @frols hope it goes ok tomorrow.

Congrats @ACWI2021 welcome to the POAS addict club. I've also taken multiple to check line got darker then did one that showed 3+ as turned 5 weeks. Nowhere else to go now so am trying and failing to channel my inner chill πŸ˜† I've booked a scan for 8 weeks but that's still almost 3 weeks away!

ACWI2021 · 14/02/2021 19:56

Thanks @jonrik @sandsandwiches I've just sent self referral form to hospital, so will probably get a letter about first scan. Going by my estimated dates, most likely will be late march. Thinking to book private scan for either end of Feb at 8 weeks or wait until 10weeks and have it done just before mother's Day so I'll know I am definitely still ok to announce it 🀣

sandsandwiches · 14/02/2021 20:06

Sounds good @ACWI2021 I think self referral will be my distraction activity tomorrow, makes it all feel more real! I've booked scan at 8 weeks to space things out, not sure I could handle waiting till 10 but if you want to announce on mother's day makes sense!

PumpkinEverything · 15/02/2021 08:43

Have replied to everyone who messaged me about the Facebook group 😊

yellowspot · 15/02/2021 09:58

Hey :) can I join the thread and FB group please? BFP yesterday with out second. My app tells me the due date will be 22nd October xx

organised5 · 15/02/2021 10:39

Oh my goodness, can't believe I'm posting here.

TTC cycle 1 with my second and after a string of BFNs all the way up to my missed period using FRERs, I just got a BFP today. Confused about my dates now!

Hi everyone!!!

@PumpkinEverything I sent you a PM to join the fb group x

crabette · 15/02/2021 10:59

Sorry guys, (@tomahto !) I've not been on over the weekend! Replied to all my inboxes this morning but I see @PumpkinEverything is on it and has picked a few messages up!

crabette · 15/02/2021 11:01

@yellowspot Congratulations! Drop me a private message with your facebook email address and we'll send you an email invite to the fb group xx

Katie1109 · 15/02/2021 15:55

hey ladies x
I hope you are doing well x I just have a quick question, have you had any hcg levels test done with this or previous pregnancies? I had one done last week when I was around 6 +4/5 and it came back as 13,052 u/l. I almost wish I never asked for the levels to be done, now I'm worried its not high enough. Scan this coming weekend seems long way off!

Smilymami · 15/02/2021 21:24

May I ask, why did you ask for it to be done?

Kingpin39 · 15/02/2021 21:50

Due 20th and it’s my first at 39 years young! Only my partner knows so far as early days, desperate to tell the world! We thought it may take longer to conceive as I’m older, but 1 ovulation and here we are!

Katie1109 · 16/02/2021 07:38

@Smilymami yes I did ask due to 2 previous losses. I didn’t realise the levels mean nothing until you have it done few times to see if they double. My midwife said it all looks good to her and no point doing anymore at this stage. I’ve got an early scan this coming weekend.

PumpkinEverything · 16/02/2021 09:14

@Katie1109 I haven’t been offered any and haven’t asked for any either. I’ve a scan this Sunday too and it feels like forever away!
