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

@CurbsideProphet completely understand that. The worry with IVF for you must be so high you don't need the added pressure of not sure if they can find the heartbeat or not! I was lucky and did find one early but now I want to go back at 9 weeks lol and check everything's progressing. It's a vicious cycle lol x

Hi :) I got my BFP yesterday. This is my second pregnancy (I have a fifteen month old) and I am fantastically nervous. I'm only 4+2 based on my last AF. Trying to stay positive but it's really hard. I'm due November 3rd, which is our wedding anniversary :)

Raindrops2015 · 24/02/2022 11:53

Lovely. Congratulations! @TheBirdintheCave

TheBirdintheCave · 24/02/2022 12:16

@Raindrops2015 Thank you :D

Hello, Can I please join? I joined the October thread but they seem quite far ahead.... my estimated due date is 24 October.

We have been TTC for 13 months & had an early miscarriage in October last year.

Trying to stay calm, step away from the tests and not Google everything but it's so hard! I'm torn between hoping all will be okay this time and panic that it won't!

I took a clearblue yesterday at 5+2 & got 2-3 weeks - I was hoping for the "magic" 3+ so it threw me slightly...

CurbsideProphet · 24/02/2022 13:31

@CLP86 I read recently that after a certain point your HCG is too high for home pregnancy tests to be able to detect accurately, so you should not rely on them after 5 weeks. Hope that helps.

CLP86 · 24/02/2022 13:34

@CurbsideProphet - thank you for your reply. I didn't know that - I thought it was much later on in the first trimester.

I should stop testing shouldn't I?

GAAJ04 · 24/02/2022 14:23

Anyone getting seriously bloated, I'm so uncomfortable with it ๐Ÿ˜ฉ
Hope everyone is ok :)

TheBirdintheCave · 24/02/2022 14:38

@GAAJ04 At the moment I'm just dizzy and burping a lot :)

Annny27 · 24/02/2022 14:53

@clp86 I have one more clearblue and not gonna use it as if it says anything other than 3 + I will panic even though other successful pregnancies I have seen on here have even dropped back weeks wise and all been okay. So gonna save myself the anxiety haha

5 weeks today and feeling slightly nauseous and also whenever I eat I gag a few times ๐Ÿ˜…

CLP86 · 24/02/2022 15:31

@Annny27 - I'm the same I have 1 test left.... I knew about the mc last time because the dates dropped down & I think I'm just so worried that it might happen again... I'll try and leave it

Foxella · 24/02/2022 15:51

Congratulations @TheBirdintheCave @CLP86 ๐Ÿ˜Š stepping away from the tests is most definitely the right thing to do, but easier said than done and Iโ€™m so guilty of just wanting to see a line. I scared myself last pregnancy when the lines got lighter (around 6 weeks I think) but it was hook effect and all fine. Iโ€™ll do my last digi at the weekend and then stop. DP swears that this is our last baby so it seems a waste not to use it!

@GAAJ04 no bloating yet, kind of mostly feeing ok with occasional weird waves. So far nothing that is definite pregnancy related which isnโ€™t helping it feel real at all!

Hi all, thankful for this thread. I'm extremely new to all this - forums, pregnancy, what to do etc.

Anyway, my period was due today and didn't come. I took a pregnancy test and it shows quite a clear + to signify positive. Im crazy excited (as you can probably tell from extremely early post) I am absolutely over the moon and praying things go well from here on in.

I THINK I am due 3rd of November. If I count from first day of my last period which was 27th Jan? Can anyone tell me if this sounds right?

Also any advice re what to do from here on would be great. Supplements, foods to avoid or increase, safe exercises etc :)

Congratulations!! I'm all very new to this too! Midwife told me to take folic acid, vit D and multi vitamins :)! Just Google foods and a list comes up, it's not as bad as you think :) xx

GAAJ04 Thank you :) I guess it's just in my nature to be anxious about the unknown. Congratulations to you too, I'll get googling :)

I'm in the same boat don't worry, goggle has been my best friend!

Also exercise wise I think it's ok to continue as normal if you exercise regularly.

Bring on the scans Smile

ChocolateCupcake123 · 24/02/2022 20:47

I just had my first ever positive today after TTC for 32 long months. Yes, over 2 years. We were undergoing fertility investigations but I got to call my nurse today and tell her the good news!

Keeping all fingers and toes crossed that nothing goes wrong! I think Iโ€™m 5 weeks, but theyโ€™ve arranged an early scan for in a couple of weeks time just to be sure everything is ok!

Excited to finally be on one of these threads ๐Ÿฅฐ

TheBirdintheCave · 24/02/2022 20:57

Congrats @Hope90x and @ChocolateCupcake123! :D

Is anyone else as scared as me? I just canโ€™t shake the feeling that something will go wrong :( I donโ€™t know how Iโ€™m going to cope with this for the next few weeks ๐Ÿ˜ข

JenniferR2021 · 24/02/2022 21:47

I'm the same done about 3 tests since Sunday lol then today I feel normal I'm para somethings wrong

PELOAM · 24/02/2022 21:56

So I got a positive on 17-2 and dating from last period Iโ€™m due end of Oct, this will be my first pregnancy. Iโ€™m so nervous and itโ€™s all I think about all day. I think Iโ€™m mostly worried about how much of a change to every aspect of my life this will be. On top of that I havenโ€™t got and have never had a good relationship with my own mum (or dad) and Iโ€™m so worried I might not bond with my own kids. Is anyone else in the same boat, or been there before and can help ease my mind ๐Ÿ˜ฃ

Hjklasdfg · 25/02/2022 06:45

@Hope90x try stick to websites like NHS so you donโ€™t end up down a hole, I over read when I found out and freaked myself out so said Iโ€™ll stick to official websites. They also have a due date calculator so you can try figure it out from there โ˜บ๏ธ

@ChocolateCupcake123 Iโ€™m the same, weโ€™ve been trying for almost three years and was under the fertility- youโ€™ve just reminded me I need to call them ๐Ÿ˜…

@TheBirdintheCave oh I just want the first trimester to be done, Iโ€™ve never felt time drag this slow ever. I booked in for an early scan privately as just want to know so I can tell family (more my mum so I can lean on her for support). Itโ€™s such a long wait though until any nhs appointment isnโ€™t it?

@PELOAM havenโ€™t been in the same boat as you but Iโ€™m here if you want to talk as most of us are ๐Ÿ’•

Hjklasdfg · 25/02/2022 06:52

@Foxella are you going to create a Facebook group/should we? โ˜บ๏ธ Might be easier to talk on there etc

theblueflowers · 25/02/2022 07:56

Morning! A little scared to be tempting fate here, but would love to join!
Had a miscarriage the end of December and no period in between, but as I tracked ovulation, I'm pretty sure I'm 4+1 today and due November 3rd.

I saw a faint line at 8dpo so already feel like I've been pregnant forever ๐Ÿ˜‚

So excited. So anxious!

TheBirdintheCave · 25/02/2022 09:43

@theblueflowers Congrats :) I'm due on Nov 3 too and so is @Hope90x Seems like a popular day haha.

Kat668 · 25/02/2022 10:40

@TheBirdintheCave I am so the same, just desperately want the 1st trimester to be done so I can calm down the worrying and try to enjoy it! Ha!
