@Laurenxx94 I am due 12th April 😊

@Cheekymonkey3112 my first midwife appointment is 1st September so that's not too far x

@xomum

Hi everyone! Hope your all well! Just got my BFP yesterday! Feeling pretty nervous as it's my first 🥺 thinking I will be due around mid April if I have calculated it correctly! I'm new here also so would love some girls to talk to throughout my journey!
Ah congratulations! Welcome x
Laurenxx94 · 06/08/2021 09:51

@Bonniethistle amazing!!!
How did you get your first app! They told me to phone back at 6 weeks 😬

Laurenxx94 · 06/08/2021 09:52

@PlanABC good thread for the Scottish! Very rare lol xx

Bonniethistle · 06/08/2021 10:04

@Laurenxx94 In West Lothian you pick up a pack from the doctors surgery as soon as you find out you are pregnant. I has the giant ready, steady, baby book and a phone number to self refer through a central booking line.

I think maybe just because they are so busy as she struggled to get a 12 week scan but I will only be 12 + 6 so not too much later x

Jj2393 · 06/08/2021 10:12

@Cheekymonkey3112 so great to hear your scan went well! Must be such a relief!

@PlanABC I'm 5+6 too! I also did another test this morning, but a digital weeks indicator one, and it still said 2-3 weeks (same as the one I did six days ago!). Even though I know they're not entirely accurate I'm now driving myself crazy thinking something is wrong 😭 did a cheapie after and it was definitely a stronger line than previous ones so hoping it's all okay 🤞

Will the stress/fear ever end?!!!!?!

Cheekymonkey3112 · 06/08/2021 10:19

@Laurenxx94 I'm south, I didn't expect anyone on this to be so close to me 😱

You have to add 2 weeks on with those tests so 2-3 is 5-6 x

PlanABC · 06/08/2021 10:32

@Jj2393 haha twinsies! I am afraid to do the digital ones unless it tells me I'm not far along enoug haha but yes as the others said, that's nothing to worry about!

My line was this nice and strong, so now have to patient until my scan in another 22 days :')

Laurenxx94 · 06/08/2021 10:40

@Bonniethistle thanks for that will nip in and get it!

@Jj2393 I get this too I done another test this morning and definetely darker I got my 1-2 day before period then my 2-3 day after period was due so just waiting to do my last one il be 5 weeks on Tuesday so maybe next Wednesday? Probably say 2-3 still il be having a breakdown !

@Cheekymonkey3112 no way! Where abouts if u don't mind sharing?

So got a call from hospital got a reassurance scan at 8 weeks now.

So I have a scan at 7 weeks (private)
And a hospital one at 8 (Nhs)

Hey, sorry I've missed a lot, how come you get a scan at 8 weeks? My pregnancy was very complicated last time which caused me to go into preterm labour at 24 weeks and my son sadly passed away about a month ago (had him in December) do you think they'd give me early scans due to history?

Jj2393 · 06/08/2021 10:44

@chloehunt thank you, I did add on the two extra weeks but as I will be six weeks tomorrow I was expecting the 3+ today! I may have ovulated later I guess, plus the test is only 93% accurate!! Great to see your positive digital btw 🙂

@planABC I really wish I hadn't done it 😂 I've read a few other forums about it and lots of people have the same issue! Plus they're not cheap to keep testing with... So glad to hear your line was strong this morning 🙂

Ohhh okay fair enough! Maybe do another tomorrow or the next day and see if it goes up as one day can make a big difference lol
Thank you! I'm honestly so scared for this one and I didn't find out this early with my last

Motherofkittens28 · 06/08/2021 11:05

@Jj2393 I did a digital on Wednesday and it only said 1-2 and I was 4 +3 so I was a bit sad. However my hcg was 312 on Tuesday and 797 yesterday so I'm reassured that everything is going in the right direction. I don't see how these digital tests can possibly be accurate as hcg is so variable from person to person and its much more about the doubling time than the actual number. Hope that's reassuring

Laurenxx94 · 06/08/2021 11:12

@chloehunt that must of been awful I'm so sorry for your loss 😞 yes I phoned up myself and requested one and they booked me in for a reassurance scan due to my miscarriages xx

Laurenxx94 · 06/08/2021 11:13

@Motherofkittens28 that's amazing how inaccurate it was for u. Nice to hear your HCG has risen nicely! Xx

ELM7 · 06/08/2021 11:14

Hi Ladies congratulations to you all.

Would love to tentatively join you all after lurking in the background for a while now Got my BFP last week and am 5weeks today but terrified as I have had 2 MCs (twins in Oct 2019 and Dec2020) so can’t help but think the same will happen again. Due date should be around 7th April. Tired and sore boobs and lots of cramping which I know is normal but still makes me worry

I’m a POAS addict and also obsessed with checking my RHR on my Fitbit.

Am down on the south coast but Hubby is Scottish originally from Edinburgh where his family still live. x

Motherofkittens28 · 06/08/2021 11:19

@ELM7 it was my RHR that made me think I might be pregnant! I check it constantly to make sure it's still high!

Thank you sweet! I'm hoping when they look at my records (everyone who was involved in my care knows my son very well and our sorry) so I'm hoping they'll see me earlier but we will see! Aww I can see why you did that!

AlDue2022 · 06/08/2021 12:42

Hi,
First time pregnant and positive test 3 days ago after missed period. It’s all a bit daunting at the moment! I’ve experienced cramp and slight nausea so far. It doesn’t feel really yet Shock
I’ve joined the Facebook group and looking forward to the journey with you all!

chloehunt · 06/08/2021 16:10

Is anyone else testing every day to see if the line gets darker? I keep doing it but I want to stop myself as I don't think it's healthy for me to do that

Cheekymonkey3112 · 06/08/2021 16:10

Loving the fb page! Thanks @Stephlp x

Cheekymonkey3112 · 06/08/2021 16:11

@chloehunt I did for ages and then eventually did stop. I decided thst the money I was spending could book me an extra scan. Xx

Lalala1985 · 06/08/2021 16:18

@chloehunt I did, and stopped once I ran out of tests. As tempting as it is I don't think it's very healthy. I feel like this is going to be ooooone long wait and it's so easy to worry. Best find something to distract yourself. Testing isn't going to stop you miscarrying.
