Due December 2021 thread!

[Tabbycat92]

I'm probably one of the first to find out, as there are no other chats! Based off of last period I'm due December 2nd! Got my first positive early at 9dpo.
Anyone else with me yet???

@Wiltshire90 what is RHR and how do you know what the levels are?!

I did another clearblue how many weeks last night and it had changed now to 2-3. My last one was 4 days ago and was 1-2 so ties in with my later ovulation surge but reassuring to know obviously HCG has increased to go up the next level :)

In also peeing in the night and having nightmares!!

Morning ladies! I did my second Clearblue digi this morning and got 2-3 weeks 🥰 I'm about 17 dpo. I'm probably going to keep doing strip tests until early next week when I should get a 3+ weeks, then I'll try and stop myself from testing unless I have any worrying symptoms.

I impulse purchased a few maternity clothes and tried them on last night. The evening bloating meant that some if it actually fitted and I looked way more than 4 and a bit weeks 🙈

@Horehound RHR is resting heart rate and you can track it if you have a heart rate monitor on a fitbit or smart watch. It was my first pregnancy symptom that it didn't drop like it normally would when AF was due. It can fluctuate though so best to use it as a guide rather than relying on tracking it.

@sarby21 good luck with your second blood test lovely, let us know how you get on x

@lucea87 funny how a few of us have a strong feeling about sex so early on. The tarot reading would sway you though wouldn't it, I'd be the same 🤣

@frols fingers crossed for you, and congratulations 🥳

@queenatom I've not test again since I got the FRER and digi the day I found out. I think I'd drive myself mad and cause myself so much anxiety. I plan on going the same again this Sat, another FRER and digi as that'll be a weeks progress since the last 🤞🏼

@Arrierttyclock you've got line progression, that's the main thing 😘

@Horehound oh my goodness, that must be bloody sore. My fiancé brushed past my nipple in bed last night and I could have punched him 🤣🤣

@Wiltshire90 I'm sure everything will be ok lovely x

@Neom87 you've got some good line progression that's for sure 🥰

@Arthien exciting seeing the progression on the digi!! I'm hoping to see the same this weekend as it'll have been a week since I got the 1-2 🤞🏼🤞🏼

How long do ClearBlue digital displays stay on for? I only did it yesterday and it's disappeared already
I'm sure when I did it last pregnancy it lasted for months 🧐

@Tabbycat92 I did mine last Friday and it's still there x

@Tabbycat92 it says 24 hours on the instructions and my 1-2 weeks disappeared after about that. Bit of a swizz really. My DH wrote on it though so that we'd have a record of which one's which and the date 😊

@CCG92 I'm wondering if maybe I didn't use enough urine. I didn't read the instructions that say to dip for 20seconds... I only did it for about 5/6 seconds

@Tabbycat92 oh I only dipped for about 5 seconds too. I never read instructions 🤣

From what @Arthien is saying though, it seems normal that it's disappeared ☺️

@Horehound what @Arthien said 😊

I wouldnt have a clue where to start looking for maternity clothes! Hoping I can wear my sister's hand me downs as she is due 6 months before me and my size 😁

@CCG92 thanks lovely. I'm sure it's all fine. I'm also stressing because I actually feel fine/high energy levels! And worrying I should feel worse! I am fairly fit and healthy so hopefully it's all normal 🤞

@CCG92 according to their website a positive should last 6months only a negative disappears, so naturally I'm panicking now 😅

@Wiltshire90 other than feeling light headed and sore boobs, I feel totally normal too. Not struggling with energy etc yet. I do get really bloated/twinges in the evenings, but nothing dramatic. Hoping that everything is normal for us all, as everyone's normal is different 😘

The digitals will just have a tiny battery and shelf life so Imagine there'd be a small window of difference in how long they show for but both mine are off after 1-2 days

Looking at the Clearblue website, I reckon the one with just pregnant/not pregnant last for months and the one with the weeks indicator is 24 hours only, but it could just be luck of the draw!

@Wiltshire90 that must be so nice to know you'll have little ones close in age, and handy if you can get some hand me downs too!

@Tabbycat92 oh! I'm sure you'll be fine babe, I mean it wouldn't have shown you your positive if it was a negative. Take another one soon to put your mind at ease xx

Just had my confirmation of my 12 week scan and it's on our anniversary ❤

@Arthien how special 🥰🥰

@Wiltshire90 Zero symptoms here too. Makes it feel like it’s all in my head but I’m holding out to do another test until maybe after weekend 😬
I think I can remember with last two that it was the same, actually with DD2 I didn’t find out I was pg until 8/9 weeks so was oblivious, but the 12month old toddler I had at the time was a distraction. Can hardly remember because it was yonks ago but think with first pg it was about 6 weeks I started to feel a bit icky.

My CB one lasted until the day before DS was born last time! That was one without the weeks on it though.

I haven’t had a single symptom yet but I’m only 4+2 so it’s probably still a bit early. I didn’t start getting sore boobs until about 5 weeks last time.

@frols I’m so sorry to hear about your miscarriage. It was one of the hardest experiences of my life, but in a way I was grateful it was still early on (6 weeks) so I think once I have made it past 6 weeks in this pregnancy I’ll calm down a bit! I don’t have a lot of symptoms yet so I feel scared the pregnancy will fail again but my HCG levels at 4 weeks this pregnancy are more than double what they were at 5 weeks just before I had the MC. So I’m hopeful! Going for more bloods on Saturday to see if they double! Eep!

@Tabbycat92 my CB digi disappeared after 24 hours, and it did the same thing when I used them in my first pregnancy x

@Tabbycat92 that's from the website, hope that helps 😘

@sarby21 bless you, it must be so worrying when you've had a loss. Wishing you the healthiest of baby's! ♥️

@Poptart90 @Tabbycat92 my one must just be a lucky one that it's still on there 🤣🤷🏻‍♀️ At least you know it's normal now for it to disappear though xx

Ahh amazing @Poptart90 that's put my mind at ease
