Hi ladies I have just got my BFP after ttc for a year. I'm 34 and it's my first pregnancy. I just thought I'd start a thread for anybody who has also just got a BFP. I'm excited but also terrified that something will go wrong! How are we all feeling?

Hi guys, unfortunately it wasn't meant to be for me this time, I miscarried last night. I really wish you all the best and lots of lovely sticky beans ❤

Hi Ladies,
Looking for some advice... I am currently 10DPO and I couldn't wait any longer to see if AF is going to appear or not so I purchased IC test from ebay and I used FMU this morning and i got what I think is a Very faint line. Soo I took 3 more during the day and I am seeing the same very very faint line (I think) i got excited and bought a FRER test and it came back start white!! Now I feel so stupid.. has this happened to anyone else?

I might add that I feel pregnant. I hace cramping, sore breasts, bleeding gums, headaches and constipation TMI. Although I do feel really periody too. This is so confusing.

Any advice ???

Not sure how to add the picture of the test?

Thank you

@candyfloss18 Yayyyyyy GrinGrinGrin

wannabeamummysobad · 03/09/2021 09:34

Yeaaa @candyfloss18!

How are we all feeling this morning?
I'm 6W and wow, tiredness has hit me like a brick this week - haven't done any morning workouts. Don't want this to be my norm so will go for a run tomorrow but it definitely caught me off guard.

Other than that tender boobs, weeing a lot and some cramping are my only symptoms.

So excited to be in the 2nd half of my first trimester. X

Lady929 · 03/09/2021 09:55

The tiredness has got me this morning as well! I got up early, walked the dog and felt ok.
Got in, just thought I’ll have a quick nap and two hours later I’ve just woken up. I’m only 5 weeks tomorrow so I didn’t think it would be anything like this yet lol.

wannabeamummysobad · 03/09/2021 09:56

And another random thing is as a lifetime stomach sleeper my DH encouraged me to sleep on my LHS (the books/internet recommend it too) and I've now noticed that I don't feel comfortable on my stomach. Anyone else feeling this way?

Bluepop09 · 03/09/2021 10:55

@wannabeamummysobad I'm a side sleeper as I can never get comfortable on my tummy, but I've been really restless either way. I keep waking constantly. Also weeing loads and the boob soreness came back with full force. Felt slightly sick yesterday but nothing today. I'm 6+1. The tiredness - yes! I felt like I had zero energy yesterday and had to have a late morning nap. Still felt exhausted all day. Perked up a little now, thankfully.

Han141 · 03/09/2021 23:25

@candyfloss18 thanks for replying. I will try and wait a few days its just so so hard. I think I may have gotten dates wrong also so would of only been 9dpo when I did the test. I tested again this morning with an IC and although it's still faint it's defo darker than yesterday. This waiting business is actually driving me a bit mad.

Congratulations 👏

ConfusedNewbie21 · 03/09/2021 23:34

Hi lovely ladies. I'm so sorry to butt in here! I've had a nosey on this thread and you all seem so lovely and helpful. Sooo... I am really looking for a second opinion here. While I know you're not all doctors or wizards... I'd just really like opinion!
I struggle with very very irregular periods so can't tell you any dates regarding my "cycle"... If you can even call it that
I DTD a few times 2 weeks ago (ish) and since have felt slight period cramps some days. Today I have been cramping a bit and experiencing pink ish discharge / blood. Not much of it but its there when I wipe. I've done some tests and a clear blue showed someting but I think it's an evap line. An asda cheapie showed no line at all. So confusing?!

So... does anyone think it could be possible? Photo of clear blue attached. ANY OPINIONS WELCOMESmileDaffodil

@ConfusedNewbie21 I also see a line but agree with pp to try a frer with FMU Smile

hi can I join😊,I'm 38 and I got my BFP and I'm 9 weeks congratulations to all expectant mums to be hope everyone has a fantastic pregnancy journey😀

Lovebug06 · 04/09/2021 12:44

Hey hope I can join.

I got my first ever bfp last month. I'm 7 weeks 5 days. It took me 2 years to concieve and some doctors help before that.
I'm feeling very anxious about miscarriage today.
I was feeling so sick but it's just gone the last couple of days. Tiredness has got better the last few days. Had a few mild cramps. Probably nothing but my sister and some friends went for their 12 week scan and got the bad news. I've been so excited but I'm having an anxious day

Congrats to you all xx

Flamingogirl08 · 04/09/2021 14:57

The nausea has hit me today, haven't actually been sick but it feels like constant travel sickness and I'm so tired. I tried to hoover the house and had to stop!

@Lovebug06 I know what you mean I have a constant fear of miscarriage. I'm really trying not to think about it. Let's not worry until there's something to worry about 😁

I’ve been hit by the nausea too the last couple of days. Not horrendous so far just constant low level nausea. I’ve had it badly twice so I think I don’t have much chance of escaping it the third time. Very exhausted all the time too.

I feel you @NinjaBreadMan . After a week of doing nothing (exercise wise) because I was shattered I managed a long run this morning. Felt great during the run but I'm shattered now! 6W2D down. Can't wait to hear the little bean next weekend 🤞🏻🤞🏻

ConfusedNewbie21 · 04/09/2021 18:13
