Wanted to start a thread, albeit a little early... But want to chat to people in the same boat.
BFP 12dpo 2 days before AF due. Last period was 4th Feb which I think makes me 3+3, and due date about 10th November! First baby. Anyone else got their BFP? I know it's early days and anything can happen (I know that all too well) but not going to let that take away my excitement. Baby very much wanted after 2 years since mc.

Wide awake this morn, had a temp rise and my resting heart rate is up on my watch... both good signs I believe?
About to do another FRER hoping for a slightly bolder line, still only 12 or possibly only even 11dpo. Decided that I'll let myself book the appointments on Friday as that should take me to 14dpo, something about the 2 week mark sits more comfortably with me!

Good morning all and big congrats @DizSquiz 💜.

How is everyone feeling so far? I'm getting so worried as I have no symptoms 😢. I'm still so early but I wanted to see how everyone else feels? I would have only just missed my period so maybe it's way too soon. Last pregnancy that ended in miscarriage I didn't find out until a week after my period would have arrived so I had more prominent symptoms like sore breasts and tiredness.

Hey @lolateddy I'm very nervous too. 5+1 today and no hint of symptoms at all. I've had 3 mc over the last few months so not holding out much hope on this one. In my successful pregnancy I def had sore boobs by now! I did a test this morning and I'm still on 2-3 weeks which I'm not surprised by but still was hoping to see 3+. My cheapy lines are getting darker every day though and are finally about the same as the control line.

Congratulations everyone!

@glow92 I'm glad I'm not the only one, wide awake 5:55, usually sleep till 7:30, how many dpo are you? X
Helenj1977 · 03/03/2021 09:00

Hi, can I join please? I got a strong bfp this morning at only 9dpo! This is number 4 for me, I also got a bfp at 9dpo with dd3! My eldest is 13 and my youngest is 2 and a half!

I’m only 3 weeks now so a long way to go. I don’t have any symptoms this time which worries me. I’ll book an 8 scan if I get that far 🤞🏻

I’m 39 and classed as overweight so very worried about COVID as won’t be having the vaccine 😩

DizSquiz · 03/03/2021 09:01

@glow92 sorry just seen your around 11/12 dpo!
Ignore me 😅

@Helenj1977 congratulations! They invited me for my vaccine this week which was typical. I'm vulnerable, not going to have it as don't want to risk it.

Hoping the mass vaccinations will give good herd immunity and keep people who can't have it safe until we can have it - just hoping they don't lift restrictions too fast! X

Helenj1977 · 03/03/2021 09:09

Thank you 😀 Oh no, that is typical! My older dds are back to school next week. I’ll be more worried later in pregnancy I think.

I had the swine flu jab when I was pg with dd2. They vaccinated pg women over others for that!

Hi all! I made an account to join here. I found out on Monday morning I'm pregnant. My eldest will be seven and my youngest 4.5 when this one comes along (boy and girl). Terrified as I thought we were done with kids.

I blame Valentine's Day in lockdown!

I'm so not ready to go back to cloth nappies and breast pads and tbh I was so glad both mine were due to be in school so I could think about a career but here we are!

GSMCK · 03/03/2021 10:13

Can I join also. I had a MMC last year at 12 weeks, started bleeding a few days before scan.

I am 4 + 5 today and feel like I have been hit by a bus the last few days. Nausea all the time, food aversion, can’t sleep, very hot. Is this normal so early? Hope you are all doing ok!

Helenj1977 · 03/03/2021 11:28

@GSMCK I’ve been having hot flushes and am only 3+1. I feel nauseous now. Your hormones are going into over drive now so all normal 😀

@ShoesEverywhere I thought I was done after having 3 girls! I’ve sold everything 😩

glow92 · 03/03/2021 12:34

A little progression pic from 10/11DPO to 11/12DPO...
I've got sore boobs but not bad, the odd little cramp and on Monday I was absolutely ravenous! No other symptoms so far.

@teachermam thank you, I'm 4+5 but realistically 3+5 as I have a late ovulation... I'm so nervous! My first time experiencing this.
Congratulations to you 🙂.

LilyCat43 · 03/03/2021 13:20

Can I join? I'm 13dpo today and have been getting clearly visible bfps since 10dpo but ONLY on late afternoon/early evening urine 🙈 if I test with fmu it's a stark bfn... Every day 🤦🏼‍♀️ has anybody got any experience of this? It sounds completely daft 🙈

ker89 · 03/03/2021 15:38

Feel like I've been hit by a bus today! Stinking headache, exhausted. This isn't going to be as easy with my little one to chase after 😟 x

krj2688 · 03/03/2021 17:26

Hi everyone

I Was hoping to join! Congratulations to everyone!

I had a positive test last Thursday. This will be number 3 for me, but had 4 miscarriages, 3 in the last 8 months. I have a 5 year old son and 4 year old daughter.

Pindepops · 03/03/2021 17:42

Hi everyone. I had a positive test on Sunday and according to the NHS calculator due 7th November. I had a positive test in December 6 days before my missed period and had a chemical pregnancy 6 days later, I was devastated. I'm 33 with polycystic ovaries and constantly feel like something is going to go wrong. No symptoms and a constant worry that I'm going to start bleeding 😕 it's nice to have people going through the same thing at the same time

Ttc2017 · 03/03/2021 18:19

Hi can i join please I am 5 +2 anxious to know if everything is ok crossing my fingers feeling the nausea and tiredness already

Piggers946 · 03/03/2021 18:27

Hi all, can I join?

I had 2 BFP yesterday morning and 1 this morning. This is our first child , I'm 34 and I had an early miscarriage last August, so I'm a but nervous. It's already feeling different than last year though. Tests were very faint last year, I had some spotting/bleeding and miscarried the week after AF was due.

This time they're BFPs (no mistaking it), AF was due Sunday and only spotted very lightly that day, nothing since. Breasts are feeling a bit heavy & tender, I've been sneezing & sniffling all day long (despite WFH and not really going outside during the week, so no allergies) and just light tugging in my abdomen the last few days. No real nausea yet, except for my daily tea putting me off yesterday afternoon haha.

NHS calculator says I'm due around 8-12 November. My cycle varies between 24-28 days, so somewhere around then anyway.

Helenj1977 · 03/03/2021 18:44

I’m going to be testing every day now. It’s so blooming worrying isn’t it.

I haven’t even told dp yet. I’ll tell him when I actually miss af.

ker89 · 03/03/2021 18:56

Girls do any of you know much about maternity allowance? Could do with some help! 😣 x
