@laurenxx94 I did one at 4+3 and it was 2-3 and I never bought anymore because thsts when I got bloods and the scans for ectopic. I seen that to get a 3+ your bloods need to be above 2500 and something I'm sure. I'll have a look what it says xxx

@imfm I actually had my Pfizer second dose the day before I got my BFP - I was quite worried so rang the doctors and they said it was nothing to worry about/it wouldn't affect things at all. I've been fine since then and keeping fingers crossed all goes okay, thought I'd let you know you're not the only one! X

Laurenxx94 · 09/08/2021 19:19

@Motherofkittens28 that's reassuring! Nice to know I'm not the only one with they amounts!

@Cheekymonkey3112 I think I need to skip doing it will drive myself mad 😂 got my scans next now so exciting! I was going to make a WhatsApp group for anyone who wants to xx

lindsay2879 · 09/08/2021 19:45

@Cheekymonkey3112 I'm happy to join WhatsApp, it's easier to keep a track of messages! You'll need to ask in the FB group too x x x

Hey lovely ladies!! I have been lurking in the background and finally plucked up the courage to introduce myself! I’m 6 weeks pregnant - first time mummy and I’m so excited to be on this roller coaster with you all!! Symptoms wise I have really sore boobies and just cramps at the moment (which are subsiding now!) occasionally have headaches and VERY bloated! I have a reassurance scan on Saturday as to be honest it doesn’t feel real to me still Smile. Hope everyone is ok tonight so far. Jen xx

Cheekymonkey3112 · 09/08/2021 20:27

@Laurenxx94 definitely up for the WhatsApp xx

Cheekymonkey3112 · 09/08/2021 20:30

@jennyisobel hey and congratulations!! I am 6w2d today so roughly the same time as you 🥰

Jennyisobel · 09/08/2021 20:33

@Cheekymonkey3112 thanks chick! Due date on the old calculator is 4th April then another one is saying the 7th April! Exciting times xx

Cheekymonkey3112 · 09/08/2021 20:36

@Jennyisobel I am the 2nd of April based on ovulation, I ovulate really late (cd23) so if I went by lmp I'd be 7w3d which I'm definitely not as I've had a few scans due to the hospital thinking it was ectopic. Thankfully it wasn't 🤞 I'm hoping the next few weeks fly by and I can stop worrying so much (ha who am I kidding!)

Jennyisobel · 09/08/2021 20:41

@Cheekymonkey3112 I’m a massive worrier so like you these next weeks have to fly by! Congratulations to you also- it’s so nice to able to ‘tell’ people! Think I’m driving hubby mad already with baby talk! Grin

FinnsMammy · 09/08/2021 20:46

@Laurenxx94 brilliant news ! HCG levels sound spot on. Good luck tomorrow xx

Cheekymonkey3112 · 09/08/2021 22:10

God I'm feeling so sick tonight, I actually wish I'd just be sick so I could feel slightly better 😢🤢

Morning everyone 👋

I was hoping to be able to join your group!

I tested this morning at 15dpo and there is a definite line but I am worried it is too faint and could mean a chemical?

How were your lines?

I had a MMC earlier this year at 12 weeks so really hoping this is good news for us!

Due April 2022
Laurenxx94 · 10/08/2021 08:12

Morning ladies 😬 how r we all? I had a slight red bleed as quick as anything last night so basically I'm too scared to have sex due to previous miscarriages. We had a little "play" and I orgasmed ... I then bled straight after ( weird ) not a lot but just some fresh red and disappeared within a minute. Hoping it's related to that and not anything else still have really sore boobs so will explain my concerns at my scan at 9.30

@Elsie2021 welcome!
How do you track ovulation?
So my experience personally with my chemical my lines were actually fainter than that. And I wasn't progressing at all.
The best thing I can say is test again in 2 days time with the same test and same time of day and compare. People say don't use tests as an indicator but I personally think it does give u an incline! Another thing is you could ask your gp for a blood test and get a repeat to see if levels increase 😬
That's not too say it's the same for everyone tho and I don't think your tests look too faint you could hardly see a line on mine , fingers crossed and good luck 🤞.

rosiej95 · 10/08/2021 08:35

@Laurenxx94 we had sex last night & I had some light brown spotting last night & this morning it's terrifying isn't it! Don't think I'll be in a rush to do that again 😂
Im 5+1 today & feeling a little nauseous but could be the fact im also terrified of something going wrong 🙈
Hope all goes well today with your scan

@Elsie2021 my line started like that & then got stronger :)

FinnsMammy · 10/08/2021 08:41

@Laurenxx94 let us know how you go today ! Fingers crossed for you! @rosiej95 from what I’ve read it happens after sex I’m not touching my husband until I’m past the 12 week mark this time (if I can last lol ) I’m just too scared after my mc to risk it !!🙈

FinnsMammy · 10/08/2021 08:44

@Elsie2021 could you pick up a first response ? Could just be an insensitive test! I don’t know those brands but 15 DPO my lines have been a lot darker on easy at home and First response brands but these are sensitive tests. My friend had a faint line until she was circa 6 weeks pregnant and now she has a baby girl so you never know! As long as the line is getting darker you should be ok ! Good luck xx

Songbird21 · 10/08/2021 08:58

Hello everyone Smile Would I be able to join you guys? Positive test yesterday and should be due in the middle of April Grin

First pregnancy after over a year of trying so excited, nervous and everything in between! I think I’m about 4 weeks but I have PCOS and was having a break from fertility treatment and not tracking anything. By some miracle I ovulated on my own and here we are!

@Elsie2021 definitely try an FRER. I had a super faint shadow yesterday morning on a femometer pregnancy test and then did this FRER in the evening. The difference is amazing! I’m not 100% sure but I think I’m about 13dpo

@Laurenxx94 good luck today hun, I'm thinking about you 💕🤞 xx

@Elsie2021 I would do exactly the same as Lauren said. Compare your tests at the exact same time with the same test in 2 days 🤞 good luck xx

Cheekymonkey3112 · 10/08/2021 09:02

Congratulations @Songbird21 and welcome 💕

rosiej95 · 10/08/2021 09:09

@FinnsMammy deffo lesson learnt I now can't stop going to the loo & feeling like af is here 🙈 this is my first ever pregnancy & it's a lot more scary then I ever imagined! So hard to relax
I have 1 more week until I can contact the doctors & let them know & 2 more weeks until an early scan... can't come quick enough tbh 🙈😂

Carolinesturn · 10/08/2021 09:29

@rosiej95 I have spotting after sex sometimes and it is quite upsetting, I don't want to kill the mood by running to the bathroom and checking but it's hard not to.
When I told my midwife about the spotting and cramping on the 30th she told me to 'test again in a couple of weeks' to see if I was still positive. So it's been 11 days and i still have a strong positive. So hopefully I'm ok and this spotting is just something I have to put up with, it's very upsetting though
Here is my strip from this morning

Cheekymonkey3112 · 10/08/2021 09:30

@Carolinesturn I've been thinking about you! How are you? That's definitely still very, very positive 💕 x
