Due July/August 2022

[winkles23]

Hello 👋🏻

Anyone else due around July/August 2022?

Hi @Floslittlebean :) you have exactly the same questions as me- was googling early scans at silly-o’clock this morning as my mind was going crazy.
I also have quite strong lower back ache this morning, don’t really remember this from 1st time round!
Also done my final test this morning, just checking my line progression, super happy to see a really strong test line today 🥰 14dpo and it’s as dark or slightly darker than control line. Whoop!

Hope everyone is doing ok this morning 😊

Morning @mrsS21 and @Floslittlebean

For early scans, we’re going to use Window to the Womb as they have a clinic very local to us and got lots of great reviews. They look like they have clinic nationwide, so may be worth checking them out.

I did another easy@home test this morning and my line is getting darker! Like triple the amount from my first test on Friday, so feel a little bit more reassured.

My weird insomnia has stopped and I managed to sleep until 6am this morning 🙌🏽.

Crazy that I’m only 13 DPO but 4 weeks pregnant tomorrow?! 🤯

Hi ladies, do you accept one more?

I found out I was pregnant on Saturday at 9 DPO. I was in absolute shock and disbelief because I had counted myself out for this cycle! I'm 12 DPO today, 1-2 weeks on CB digital (which I did on Sun), and 4 weeks 3 days if I count from day 1 of last period (which to me just sounds absolutely WILD!).

AF was/is predicted for Thu/Fri this week, so I'm holding my breath to see if it decides to come and ruin things for me.

Honestly, I am still in shock, and I feel like I'm not letting myself believe it/get happy/excited in case something goes to shit. It all just feels so new and fragile! Is anyone else like this??

Btw, do you continue to test?
I tested yesterday with FRER and saw my line has gotten darker, which was reassuring, and since I have 2 more FRERs, I think I will do tomorrow and Friday or Saturday in the hopes I get the really bold dark line. I also have one more CB digital, and I really want to see those 1-2 weeks turn into 2-3...I'll try to save it for early next week!

Ahh @Danani I was going to send this, glad you’ve found it and joined 😊

@Firsttimetrier ahhh so good to see you on this thread! And your message, I was holding my breath and was going to message you and ask how are things with you today!! So so so happy for you, hun!!!

I'm also definitely going to look into early scan and we are going to use Window to the Womb also! I just hope we get there! If so, we might go as early as early Dec when I'll be entering week 6!

@Floslittlebean and @mrsS21 I’m also booked in at Window to the womb like @Firsttimetrier. I accompanied my friend when she had an early scan there last year and it all seemed good (pray I see a heartbeat like she did!!)

@Danani I feel exactly the same that this is so fragile and even though I’m ecstatic I just don’t dare to truly hope and believe in it!

Ps. @Danani I booked with them at week 6 but they emailed me and suggested I change it to week 7 because a heartbeat is less likely to be picked up in week 6. So you might want to consider that xx

@Danani this is my progression so feeling relieved and never peed on so many sticks in my life 😂.

Ah that’s good to know about waiting to 7 weeks @Misty84 ! I feel nervous to book anything in too far in advance but there’s no way I’ll be able to hold out until a 12 week scan!

Lovely, thank you @Misty84 and @Firsttimetrier :) will take a look at them. The ones I found were 16 weeks + which felt a bit pointless!

That’s wonderful news @Firsttimetrier isn’t it lovely seeing that faint positive (which seemed so dark for such early dpo!) and now it’s so dark ❤️ Happy, happy Tuesday everyone!

@Danani - completely know where you’re coming from, I’m trying to tamper down any excitement until we’re further on, just knowing how fast things can change x

These are mine from Friday, Sunday, digi yesterday and 14dpo today 😊 so utterly giddy to see this!

@Misty84 ah that's good to know, thank you so much!

@Firsttimetrier girlllll, those lines are beautiful!!! You have had a very steady line progression all along, but now it's quite obvious and easy to see!!

It's honestly so nice to have this group, and to know we're not alone in whatever we're going through!!

@Firsttimetrier I’ve noticed that the easy @ home ones seem a lot - a lot!- more faint than the frer ones…I did one first yesterday morning and had such a panic as thought my line was getting weaker. Did the digi one and got pregnant result. Then trying frer this morning, it’s such a different result!

Eeeek @mrsS21 these are BEAUTIFUL!!!!

These are mine from Sat and yesterday! And the digi was from Sun!

Same @Firsttimetrier, could never wait until week 12!!!

So amazing to see line progression and be part of the club for once, yay for all of us!✨

Stunning lines @Danani! And oh how beautiful to see those words!😍

I had to go to epu with our first as had a bleed at 11weeks, so we saw little bump slightly early. But this time I think I’d like to go earlier if I can, will be nice to put my mind at ease.

It’s a wonderful club to be in @Misty84 ❤️ We’re all incredibly blessed xx

I feel like I’m getting the opposite @mrsS21 these are my FRERs from 9-12DPO. There doesn’t seem to be much difference and aren’t as strong as all of yours lovely lines! I did get 1-2 weeks on a CB digital, which is reassuring!

Also, sorry if this is TMI especially in the morning but is anyone else getting that feeling where it feels like AF has arrived unexpectedly? I keep having to go to the bathroom to check 🥴

@mrsS21 Definitely the best club!! 🤗

@Firsttimetrier Yes! I’ve had a few times where I’ve gone to panic-check!!

Hi everyone and congrats to you all. I'm a complete novice so not sure on all the lingo but just discovered I'm 4+3. I'm 39 and have two 20 and 17 so this is a bit of a shock, anyone else have a big gap? All seems very different now, as the doctor said 20 years ago, now an older mum 🤣 how many weeks is it when a midwife normally will first see you?

@Firsttimetrier I'm now 4 + 5 roughly and had quite regular period like pains at first but now they are more sporadic. Looked it up and seems a normal symptom, but I too was constantly checking!

Thank you for the Window to the womb tip

I’ve just been looking at Window to the Womb - it looks good! I’ve just asked DH if he thinks we should book one so we have a scan picture for when we tell our families (yes still haven’t told our families! Only told 1 friend since finding out 8 days ago 😂)

@Floslittlebean I’ve been getting back ache too. Wasn’t sure if it was just my bad posture but yes lower back has been aching! I’m also the same with period type pains. I was getting them quite often at first but now I only seem to get them at night when I lie down in bed. I’m 5+6 but I reckon I will be put back about 6 days when I have a scan as I ovulated around day 20 not 14 but I need to tell myself to stop changing my dates on what I think and to just go with the apps so far 😂

@Danani hello! Lovely to see so many of us from the conception thread here :) I did one test yesterday just to see, came up super dark super quick so I think I'll be leaving it at that. I'm going for a scan at 6 weeks in the EPU due to previous MC. Over here they don't usually offer them until 12 weeks on the HSE (NHS)

@eekness Congrats! A friend of my sister was similar to you, had a 22 yr old and a 19 yr old, then had a baby at 40. He's now 3yrs old and his nephew is 2yrs old. I'd say book with a GP to confirm the pregnancy and they send you in the right direction or call your local maternity to find out.

@Firsttimetrier they look like good progressions too - with me still breastfeeding I’m not sure if that affects my hormone levels maybe?
I’d agree with the period feeling, I had some back ache badly last night, and felt like I’d started earlier, but thankfully not! Must just be excess CM maybe?

@Irishfarmer oh hey you!! :)) So good to see some familiar faces over here!

@Firsttimetrier I think there is definite difference/progressions in your lines!

@Danani!!! Oh my goodness. I've been checking in on November threads to see if you had any good news!!!! Congratulations!! How are you feeling?! Xx
