Hey,
Anyone else out there due April 2022.
I got my BFP at 10DPO yesterday. I already have a 6 month old daughter and it's my 4th pregnancy 🌈❤️

My digital said not pregnant this morning with FMU and now I'm panicking 😭🙈

@mummytoolive have you tried a FRER? do you have any symptoms?

Carolinesturn · 29/07/2021 07:50

@mummytoolive maybe stick to the same tests you were taking so you can see progress in the lines, you are still very early, what dpo are you?

Bancha · 29/07/2021 08:10

@Carmelsquares thanks so much! Feels really good to be able to tell people even if I don’t know you all!

mummytoolive · 29/07/2021 08:38

@Carolinesturn I ran out of FRER so stupidly did the digital I knew it was going to say not pregnant before I even did it 🙈😂
My sister is bringing me some more FRER after work. I know if I'm rational it's too early for me on a digital as my lines were still faint on the FRER and I'm irregular normally but don't thing my AF was due until tomorrow or Saturday.
I'm not 100% when I ovulated I got a solid smiley on the 15th I think so maybe 13dpo today if I ovulated after that.

Welcome @Laura3876 and @Summervibes040 and congratulations 🎉

Please don't follow my example of over testing and losing my mind when my boobs don't hurt for more than a few minutes 🙈😂 my husband thinks I'm batty

@mummytoolive I was a bit bits with that at the start, once I actually missed the start of my period I've actually relaxed a bit more, and I've been reading up about how pregnancy tests are really not a good way to test the progression of a pregnancy, and the hook effect - which has helped me not stress out quite so much over how dark lines are. Ive got one FRER left, I'll take that in a couple days, then just get the 2-3 wks and 3+ on digitals then I'm done.

Carolinesturn · 29/07/2021 09:02

Well that's sooo early! It's easy to say not to panic but please wait for the FRERs, do you have progress photos?
It's such a worrying time, we DTD last night and there was quite a bit of spotting after and this morning, I feel sick whenever I see it.
I'm going to order a digital pregnancy test with the wee screens that says how far along you are, what day dpo should I take that without frightening myself

mummytoolive · 29/07/2021 09:09

Thanks @Lalala1985 @Carolinesturn

In my first pregnancy I got a positive digital at 15dpo and it said 2-3 weeks.
I think I must have implanted slightly later this pregnancy from my lines. I got a very clear solid pink line straight away with my first but didn't test before 14DPO. I wish I'd have been that patient this time round haha!!

My lines are progressing well on the FRER but haven't done one today or yesterday and wish I hadn't have done that silly digital now 🙈

I'm gonna distract myself for the rest of the day, take my daughter to the play gym and see my sister later and hopefully have a nice dark line on an FRER later/tomorrow 🤞🏽

@Carolinesturn I think I'd feel the same as you about the spotting but it is very common that people have this early pregnancy. When was your AF due x

@mummytoolive it's so tempting to take big steps and the time is dragging so much! I'm 15dpo today and was due AF yesterday but I feel so invested!

broodyas · 29/07/2021 09:59

@mummytoolive I can completely relate with the getting paranoid every time the symptoms wane a bit! I've woken up this morning ravenous for the first time in several days and the lack of nausea is making me nervous even though it's normal for symptoms to fluctuate Confused
Also had mild cramping through the night and this morning, I know it's normal but still worries me every time!

mummytoolive · 29/07/2021 10:05

@Carolinesturn I think I'll feel so much better in a week when I know my AF is definitely not due any minute!

@broodyas what are we like 🙈 all these hormones pumping around our body

Summervibes040 · 29/07/2021 10:18

I feel the same as you all. I'm worrying about everything. I've also been spotting since I found out I was pregnant and under review with EPU. Have an app next week for a scan. Also what does DPO mean lol so many wee abbreviations I haven't a clue about Hmm xx

mummytoolive · 29/07/2021 10:19

@Summervibes040 good luck for your appointment ❤️

DPO: days post ovulation xx

Hi everyone! I am really hesitant about joining this group because it's such early days, but I've had 7 positive tests now! AF not due until this weekend... I have sore boobs, nausea that comes and goes, night peeing(!) and I'm so COLD, which I was in my first pregnancy too for the whole of the first trimester. That pregnancy ended in TFMR so my emotions are obviously a bit mixed right now!
Trying not to obsess over tests etc but I am incredibly impatient and obviously did 2 more this morning! :)

Carolinesturn · 29/07/2021 11:07

I'm spotting too @Summervibes040 and also cramping, have been since 7dpo but my lines are getting stronger, I did two tests this morning with a cheapie and a FRER and it's 15dpo, FRER was a dye stealer and cheapie was almost as dark. I've not got in touch with doctors yet, what did the epu say about your spotting?

Carolinesturn · 29/07/2021 11:09

@mummytoolive have you taken Your FRER?

Summervibes040 · 29/07/2021 11:14

Heyy, so I had a scan last week but I was actually only 5 weeks so they wanted me back in 2 weeks. They could see a wee flicker but it was so small.
They weren't concerned at all as it was brown. But I can't help worrying. I've had it from the 8th June and at times it's been heavy as well. I just need to get to next week because the wait and worry is awful xx

Carolinesturn · 29/07/2021 11:24

@GoingGently I'm so sorry to hear of your loss, that must have been devastating, I hope this one goes well for you. I feel cold too, but a different kind of cold like a shivery flu like cold. Also had sore stingy boobs/nipples this morning but not achy as such.
@Summervibes040 sounds like they arnt worried at all, is your spotting with full aches? Mine is, it switches sides and is sometimes in the middle or pelvis, I suppose if it came out of nowhere I'd be more worried but I've been having it since before I tested positive. I wonder if I should phone my local epu

Carolinesturn · 29/07/2021 11:25

Dull aches*

mummytoolive · 29/07/2021 11:27

@Carolinesturn no my sister is working until lunch time, I'm just feeding my daughter and then I think I might have to run out and get some myself 🙈

Hello please can I join for my bfp today. Due 6th April :)

Due April 2022
Cheekymonkey3112 · 29/07/2021 11:42

Hi girls

I had really sore pains in the left ovary region last night so phoned triage and went over for bloods. My hcg was 1340 and I was to go home and epas phoned this morning for follow up . I went for a scan this morning and they think they see the start of a gestational sac but can't be sure because they couldn't see my ovaries due to trapped wind. They still can't rule out ectopic. I'm back for more bloods on Sat and a scan next week. The worry continues..

Carolinesturn · 29/07/2021 11:48

Hello @Cheekymonkey3112 I'm so sorry to hear about your pains and possible ectopic. How awful you've not got a definitive answer, are you feeling better now or the same?

Cw191 · 29/07/2021 12:01

I had my first bfp 11dpo, I’ve taken 10 tests, all faint positive but so scared that the tests are wrong and that AF will come on Sunday, anybody else this worried?

Summervibes040 · 29/07/2021 12:14

I didnt have any significant pains but I have had some pains similar to that of the start of my period. When I phoned my GP to tell them of the pregnancy and of the spotting she referred me to EPU. I would give them a wee phone. My last period made me seem further on however i ovulated late. I have had some pain in my groin area but nothing major and it goes within a few seconds. I'm just hoping it's all normal and due to stretching. Honestly this is all so stressful xx
