@candycrush789 yeah so many factors can effect the tests. You'll get a better idea if you leave it a couple of days (I'm trying to tell myself the same thing!).
Sorry about your miscarriage, horrible things!! Makes us all feel so much more anxious when we actually get that bfp!

candycrush789 · 09/11/2022 13:51

I 1sr tested Sunday and then tested again yesterday and didn't look much different although it was dry, I hope all is OK! Really worrying but don't want to get too obsessed x

Losti121623 · 09/11/2022 14:38

@heartbroken22 I think I would prefer another boy but I’m fairly impartial, DH definitely would prefer another boy 😊What about you?

@Bertiebean that was heartbreaking to read 😞 I’m so sorry to hear it- Sending love & well wishes to you & yours xxx

heartbroken22 · 09/11/2022 14:41

@Bertiebean I'm so sorry whatever happens I hope you're okay. Could it be that your wee is not picking up the hcg because you may have drank a lot of water?
@MamaSJ15 I hope you're okay after your accident.
@candycrush789 you sure? The second ones all look like they are. Hope you're okay hun I know it can be stressful.

heartbroken22 · 09/11/2022 14:44

@Losti121623 I'd be happy with another girl (it would just make life easier) but I don't mind either way. My DH just wants a healthy baby. It's just my eldest dd who really wants a brother.

Primrose09 · 09/11/2022 14:51

Good afternoon 👋

Just saw in the EPU waiting room for my early scan do thought I’d pop on here.

so sorry @Bertiebean 💔

Losti121623 · 09/11/2022 14:51

@heartbroken22 It does seem it would make life a little easier all being the same sex doesn’t it? I think that’s where my head is at too.. we haven’t told the boys yet, not planning on doing so for a while as once they know our entire families will know 😅 how are you feeling about managing with 3? I must admit I am freaking out just a little just picturing the washing pile 🤣xx

polkadotdasies88 · 09/11/2022 15:00

@Bertiebean Sending you so much love ❤️

polkadotdasies88 · 09/11/2022 15:19

@MamaSJ15 I've been doing so many tests & agonising over the lines, it's torture isn't it.

Oh my goodness I can imagine that was scary, hope you're ok ❤️ One of my friends was in a crash a few weeks before having her little boy and he was absolutely fine. I think they are quite resilient all snug inside.

I've known now for over 2 weeks that I am pregnant and have been so anxious to be honest.
It has taken 4 years to get to this point and now that it is finally here it seems I have trouble accepting it if that makes sense. I am so worried and am extremely looking forward to the first ultrasound (private booking). Anyone else feel the same way? I couldn't be any happier but it doesn't really feel like it's real just yet

Congrats! It took over 2 years first time for us and pregnancy was so anxious and surreal but it'll get easier... that's what I'm telling myself this time!

Little bit of boost/reassurance needed if you would be so kind..

Top one is from this morning fmu.
Bottom one is from Sunday fmu.
I am sticking with the easy at home till I run out. I'll do a frer on Friday which would have been a week since seeing a strong line on a frer.

Is this good? It's not super dark but it's certainly getting there and for just hitting 4w2d today I don't think it's bad?

Hope you are all good today. I gagged hard this morning at a smell which never bothers me normally, which I'm hoping is a good sign ✨

@Chaoscontrol today is definitely darker! My easy at home tests are still faint too, but the frer much darker. I'm using my easy@home ones up also just so I can test daily because I'm a little obsessed at the minute 😅 like @ThePodParent said in another post, I think I'll be testing for a while! Ha.
Are you considering an early private scan? I know that I'm going to consider it .

Hello to all today's now joiners as well! This thread seems to move very quickly and it's hard to keep up! Hope you're all doing ok!

Charlystar · 09/11/2022 17:29

Hi, congratulations to everyone! I have had a BFP this week, finally after trying for 7 years with a MC 6 years ago. I have a 9 year old son who was conceived without any problems. I have managed to conceive on my first round of Clomid and so far my boobs are gigantic and sore and stretchy/twingy pains on my left side.

I have booked an early scan privately for week 7, currently week 4.

Hoping I am here to stay in this chat throughout my pregnancy

Coffeeforlife · 09/11/2022 17:33

Congrats to all the new BFPs!

@Nadinya It's incredibly stressful isn't it. All you can do is take it a day at a time and hope for the best unfortunately.

@heartbroken22 Tbh I don't mind, I still don't believe it'll turn into an actual baby so just stressing about how not to throw up at work rather than a future I can't imagine

Coffeeforlife · 09/11/2022 17:35

How would people feel about a Facebook group? I like ones with names not too obvious so you don't end up announcing accidentally if anyone sees your notifications....

I'm starting to lose track a bit with all the postsSmile

Nearlymorning · 09/11/2022 17:39

Sounds good to me!

Hi @Coffeeforlife yep the fb group sounds good, I like the idea of a less obvious name for it as we haven't told anyone yet with how early it is.

There is actually a Facebook group that we started from the beginning of this thread. I’ll try and work out how to find the link!

CV1200 · 09/11/2022 17:57

Yes please to fb group! I'm struggling to keep up on here 😄

Artharp · 09/11/2022 17:57

www.facebook.com/groups/427296409561848/?ref=share

I think that link should work. It’s a private group so no one can see who’s in it unless they’re in the group themselves

Coffeeforlife · 09/11/2022 18:16

Ah I'm on that already, trouble is I have to turn off notifications or they pop up with the group name Blush

Surreyfirsttimemum · 09/11/2022 19:08

Ah so exciting I’ve asked to join the group! Scared of it showing up on Facebook but trust all the settings. :)

@Coffeeforlife totally agreed that I just can’t comprehend baby yet just I’m pregnant and my thing at the moment is that everything smells super strong - dodging other peoples BO and all the smells of cleaning products in public places !

MamaSJ15 · 09/11/2022 19:58

@Coffeeforlife yes please to Facebook page 😊

MamaSJ15 · 09/11/2022 20:09

@heartbroken22 thank you, yes I'm fine, was just shook up at the time!

Coffeeforlife · 09/11/2022 20:45

Hello, I've set up a secret squirrel thread FB group, most people end up with more than one I think, if anyone would like to be an admin let me know because my life is chaos Grin

MamaSJ15 · 09/11/2022 20:48

Could help but do another cheapie test tonight, only got a couple left so using them up 😂 pretty happy with this line progression which makes me feel a little better about no progression on the FRER this morning. I have a feeling i test better in the evening than morning.
