I donโ€™t know when Iโ€™m due, Iโ€™ve not had a period since DS was born but I got 1-2 weeks on a Clearblue digi this morning which puts me sometime late October or early November (I think!)
Feels like Iโ€™m too far behind the October group but too early for a November oneโ€ฆ anyone due a similar time and want to join me? Would love to have some company ๐Ÿ˜Š

Hello. Very early days for me, got a bfp at 9 and 11 dpo. Will be testing tomorrow again. Mmc the last time so it's an anxious time atm. Congratulations!

Foxella · 19/02/2022 22:05

Hi @Raindrops2015 congratulations! Iโ€™m sorry to hear youโ€™ve had a mmc ๐Ÿ’ really hope this is it for you
Iโ€™ll be joining you in testing again tomorrow, itโ€™s such an anxious time but seeing the lines get darker is the closest you can get to knowing itโ€™s progressing at this stage even tho I know it changes nothing. Do you have any symptoms yet?

I am due ~ 27th October:) have had 2 mcs and been ttc for nearly 3 years so it's a rather anxious time!

Annny27 · 19/02/2022 22:15

I had a clearblue 2-3 weeks on Thursday ๐Ÿฅฐ

Raindrops2015 · 19/02/2022 22:56

@Foxella - I've sore boobs, leukorreah, fatigue (though going off caffeine may be contributing to that) and some mild cramping. What about you?
@Annny27 I'm really sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I hope and pray this is it for you. Are you taking anything or getting any extra help from doctors? I'm taking aspirin 75mg, high dose vit D, 100mg ubiquinol and the pregnacare. I'm going to try and throw myself into everything else to keep my mind off it.

Hi, I'm 17dpo today and have had positive tests since 10dpo, I've been too scared to join the October group for fear of jinxing it. We had a chemical pregnancy in December but the tests are much darker this time so really hoping this is the one! If it is I'm due about 28th October Smile

kmbegs · 20/02/2022 05:45

Can I join ๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ. Finally got a BFP yesterday after a year TTC. I honestly can't believe it, such dark lines as well. I think I would be due 31st October so feel the same as you, don't really fit in the 'due in October' chats, not yet anyway. Obviously very early and don't want to jinx anything but so hard not to get excited and tell anyone isn't it? Also not to get too far ahead of myself but we are hosting an Easter party for our families the day I will hit the second trimester (all going well) and it would be so nice to share our news then.

Also sorry to hear about the losses in the group, that must have been so hard. Fingers crossed for us all that these all stick x

Foxella · 20/02/2022 07:42

Morning ๐Ÿ˜Š howโ€™s everyone feeling today? I got a lovely strong FRER this morning, and my crappy one-stepโ€™s even have a line that doesnโ€™t need squinting at! Iโ€™m still in shock to be honest, I think itโ€™ll take a while to sink in.

Congratulations @Annny27 @justanotherlaura @kmbegs ! lovely to have you join ๐Ÿฅฐ anyone else have DC already?

I was trying to figure out potential due dates based on how my tests look compared to my first pregnancy (I tracked everything religiously ๐Ÿ˜ฌ) and my first thought was oooh, Iโ€™m having a pumpkin ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
So far Iโ€™ve just had a bit of cramping and a few very light waves of nausea. And my sense of smell is definitely on the up, but nothing yet that would mean I was suspicious of being pregnant without a test to prove tho.

Definitely helps being in a group and have ladies to share with who actually understand! I know it doesnโ€™t always work out and Iโ€™m so sorry for those whoโ€™ve had losses before ๐Ÿ’ hoping we all have a happy and healthy 9(ish) months ahead ๐Ÿ˜Š

@raindrops2015 nothing extra for me but I have a progesterone test on Monday and will see what that result is and then I will ask the epu if they recommend aspirin. Fingers cross this are our rainbows!

@foxella thank you for setting this up! This will be my first baby. How about you? I had quite a lot of cramping last week which is still sort of there but going down

@justanotherlaura I had a chemical in May last year and my lines were very faint and starting disappearing after a few days so this is already looking much more promissing for me too :)

Symptoms wise - soreish big boobs that fluctuate e.g sometimes feel deflated, sometimes big. And also a bit gaggy and very tired

ThinkingDifferent · 20/02/2022 09:18

Hello everyone, am also another one not sure on due date. The last few months my periods have been all over the place. Haven't had one since the beginning of the year. Had a BFP a few days ago & according to my LMP that would have made me 7 wks now but when I went for a private scan yesterday they could only see a small sac like structure measuring about 2.4mm so I calculated that makes me about 4 wks. Advised to scan again in 2 wks so am anxiously waiting. I'm sorry to hear about all the previous mcs in the group. Wishing us all happy & healthy pregnancies Smile

sayanythingelse · 20/02/2022 09:23

Excitedly joining. I got my bfp yesterday after a MMC at 19+1 in October. Due around 2nd November Grin

Foxella · 20/02/2022 10:19

@Annny27 this will be my second, DS is 13 months (lockdown baby!) so will be about 22 months when this one arrives. I canโ€™t believe heโ€™s going to be a big brother, heโ€™s still my little man and feels like yesterday that he was born, then Iโ€™ve blinked and heโ€™s a year old. Itโ€™s scary how fast the time has gone.

@ThinkingDifferent stay positive, if your periods have been all over then theyโ€™re not worth going by. If you only got the positive a few days ago then go by that - I know itโ€™ll feel like the longest two weeks though. Iโ€™ll keep everything crossed for you ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป I had a reassurance scan at 6 weeks in my first pregnancy and they said as long as itโ€™s at least 2 weeks from your positive test then they should be able to see something definitive.

@sayanythingelse Iโ€™m sorry, 19 weeks must have been heartbreaking ๐Ÿ˜ฅ hoping this one is your time โค๏ธ

Iโ€™ll probably get sent for an early scan since my last period was nearly 2 years ago! I know Iโ€™m early tho so Iโ€™ll not book in with the midwives for a few more weeks. Aaarrgghh, conception and pregnancy is just so much anxious waiting!!

MrsGreen2021 · 20/02/2022 11:13

Can I tentatively join please? I had a MMC in December at 11 weeks and found out on Valentines Day that I am pregnant again ๐ŸŒˆ

I havenโ€™t had a period since the miscarriage so not really sure how pregnant I am but think about 5 weeks ๐Ÿ™ so due date is roughly 23rd October

I had quite a traumatic miscarriage so the EPU have agreed to me having an early scan which is booked for 3rd March

I seem to have more symptoms this time around - nausea, cramping, bloating and constipation being the main ones alongside crippling fatigue ๐Ÿ˜‚

Sending everybody lots of good wishes for a happy and healthy 9 months ๐Ÿค—

ThinkingDifferent · 20/02/2022 11:47

Thank you @Foxella I'm incredibly excited & nervous at the same time. 2 weeks feels like miles away but am keeping positive

1984pip · 20/02/2022 11:51

Cautiously joining this thread! BFP a week ago. Dating wise I think I am 4 weeks 5 days. Had an eptopic last august and a miscarriage the year before so certainly not excited and very anxious at this stage!
Not many symptoms yet, just fatigue and slightly sore boobs.
Wishing everyone on here the best of luck! xx

ThinkingDifferent · 20/02/2022 13:06

I have the same symptoms as you @1984pip with constant mild cramps. Wishing you all the best x

EssieMay · 20/02/2022 13:07

Hi I'm due 22nd October. It will be my 3rd baby. I'm 5wks 1day and I've just tested positive for covid ๐Ÿ˜ž feel so worried something will go wrong.

Raindrops2015 · 20/02/2022 15:40

@EssieMay I know loads with covid and pregnant and all going OK.
@MrsGreen2021 that's great the EPU are doing that for you. I had to have surgery for my mc. I was going to push them for an early scan but they wouldn't give me a follow up scan so considering the private option. I'm sorry for you loss and hope you are well.
@1984pip sorry for your previous losses. I'm the same. Trying to take my mind off it and telling nobody. Don't even want to talk about it with partner. Trying to forget I'm pregnant whilst keeping really healthy. Can't wait til the day I can relax and enjoy it.

JenniferR2021 · 20/02/2022 15:49

Just got this today ๐Ÿ˜ฒ๐Ÿ˜ had a miscarriage in November so im terrified

Due late Oct ๐ŸŽƒ - early Nov ๐ŸŽ‰
Foxella · 20/02/2022 17:34

Congratulations @MrsGreen2021 @EssieMay @1984pip @JenniferR2021 ! the more the merrier ๐Ÿฅฐ So many who have had early losses, but plenty of support here and we can all help each other through the anxieties. @Raindrops2015 I totally get what you mean about not wanting to talk to partner about it, mine takes such a โ€˜manโ€™ view on things and really doesnโ€™t get it!

@EssieMay sorry to hear you have Covid ๐Ÿ˜• hope youโ€™re not getting many symptoms and maybe youโ€™ll have some extra immunity now. What ages are your DC?

How did you all tell your partners/husbands? Iโ€™ll tell my mum in a couple of weeks but would rather wait until after the first scan before telling anyone else. @kmbegs Easter party sounds the perfect time to share the news! Hopefully youโ€™ll get a scan pic to show too ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Annny27 · 20/02/2022 17:41

Glad I am not the only one who has had a loss and yes, we can be a support to eachother:)

@foxella I found out valentines day in the evening so just said oh I have another valentines gift for you and handed it to him haha. How about you? Wow it will be lovely for your son

@JenniferR2021 congratulations ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’—

@essiemay my friend (who has had 5 miscarriages!) Got covid and a positive pregnancy test on the same day and she is now 23 weeks :)

@1984pip I have similar symptoms. My big sore boobs come and go, sometimes they feel sore and big, sometimes normal!

Congratulations to everyone else :D xx

EssieMay · 20/02/2022 17:57

@Raindrops2015 that's helpful thank you.

@Foxella Thank you very much. I am quite poorly but just like a bad cold. My DC are 18 years old (boy) and 12 months (girl).

@Annny27 that is very reassuring thanks so much.

JenniferR2021 · 20/02/2022 18:10

I sent my bf a watsap pic of the test today coz he was at work I couldn't wait till he finished lol

Butterscotchbaby · 20/02/2022 19:51

summerlovingvibes · 20/02/2022 20:12

Hello, joining as an 5 weeks today with a predicted due date of 23rd Oct. This will be my second DC and I'm equally excited / nervous / it still hasn't fully sunk in. I've also had a couple of chemicals and have been started on progesterone and have an appointment on Thursday with a gynae doctor so will see what they say.
