4 weeks pregnant / due April 2024

Hello!

I got a BFP this morning and think that I am approximately 4 weeks pregnant.
Whilst I am of course delighted, I had a chemical pregnancy last month and so my initial elation has quickly been replaced with fear and wishing that I didn't know so early!

Just wondering if there is anyone in the same boat? If really appreciate some company and morale support during the wait!

Thank you x

Thanks girls ... I think if I added up what I've spent on tests the last few months id cry 😂 I've promised myself that once I get. 3+ on a digi I'll stop 🙈

I've been so so tired, but tonight I'm not so tired so now I'm fussing over why that is and im pawing at my chest like a mad woman to make sure my boobs are still sore (can confirm that they are). It's gonna be a loooong few weeks until the 12 week scan 😵‍💫😅

Great lines! I wasn't going to test again but I caved and brought a double CB pack, gunna do my digi tomorrow. I'm 5 weeks tomorrow, I really wanna see 3+ but I don't know if I will!! So happy with this line, came up straight away too. Last month I couldn't see it all so this is really good hopefully!

Hi everyone! I actually cannot believe I’m here but…have been feeling really sick the last couple of days especially today and here we are!

DP didn’t believe it off just the 1 test and honestly neither did I, so I opened a totally separate box and did another test out of there to make sure it wasn’t a faulty box😂

I always thought I’d be happier when I got a BFP and don’t me wrong I am so so happy and so grateful, but I’m also absolutely terrified that something could go wrong. Praying for a healthy sticky baby🤍

@peaky297 that line progression looks great! I got some of the boots ones too. This is today and yesterday, I think dpo 12 and dpo 13 but could be off by one day. Not bad lines as they aren't early tests! I don't have anymore, just one digital I'm saving for next week

@Mrsttcno1 congratulations! Hope you have a happy pregnancy and it all goes smoothly.

@faban that test looks great! When did you start getting the 2-3 weeks on digital?

faban · 11/08/2023 22:32

@WolfMother326 I haven't done a digi since last week when I got 1-2... I'm 5 weeks tomorrow and unsure whether to take it: I really want to see a 3+!

19EMMA89 · 12/08/2023 08:12

@faban I'm the same , about 5 weeks and really want to see 3+ ... I have no tests left so not sure when I'll buy more 😂😂 Do you think you'll do one today ?

cdn298 · 12/08/2023 08:13

Hi all! Hope you are all well? I’ve done a test this morning and it’s not as dark as I was expecting.. I’m 16dpo today. The top test was yesterdays so it’s not any lighter. What do yous think?x

@cdn298 I feel the same my test this morning wasn't as dark as I expected im 4wk 4 days but it is darker than yesterday, so that to me is reassuring at this stage I'm sure I read that levels rise over 72hrs so maybe Mondays will show that?

Anyone else's breasts already SO SO sore. I want to take them off my body 😅 only 5 weeks today going by LMP tho I'm an early ovulater so my app thinks I'm about 5+2. Either way, super early!

Cinderz123 · 12/08/2023 09:18

@Ttcmumma yes my boobs have been incredibly sore and uncomfortable especially in bed! I'm 4 weeks 4 days according to my app xx

I don't know I'm scared in case it says 1-2 still 🙈 but I can't help myself so I'll prob do it in a min 😂

faban · 12/08/2023 11:47

I might be wrong but are the tests upside down? So the darker one is actually the test and the lighter the control??

faban · 12/08/2023 11:51

Oh no sorry ignore me. I think they look like good lines tho!

faban · 12/08/2023 12:17

Yay! 5 weeks today. Such a relief after last month and it not getting past 1-2 weeks

WolfMother326 · 12/08/2023 12:17

I ended up doing my last digital test today. I think maybe I'm done testing as this one made me feel good and now I think I should try to control myself, tho the odds of that are low! 😄
I'm 4 weeks today and was happy to see this!

Congrats @faban, exciting to see that!

faban · 12/08/2023 12:41

@WolfMother326 aw that's lovely. It's so exciting seeing it in words.

Does anyone else carry their tests round the house like a loon... or just me 🙈

Mrsttcno1 · 12/08/2023 13:04

morning everyone! I have a question, the clear blue weeks tests- are these better ones to have? I literally bought a clear blue test from the boots in the train station yesterday and took it in the train station toilets (was genuinely not thinking it would be positive), and it was just the “pregnant”/“not pregnant”? Also, is the 5 weeks etc measured from first day of last period, or 5 weeks since positive test? X

RedRobyn2021 · 12/08/2023 13:15

Last time I was pregnant I did one test and was happy with that

This time I can't help thinking maybe the test was wrong and I should so another 😂

Anyone else?

Mrsttcno1 · 12/08/2023 13:17

@RedRobyn2021 This is my first pregnancy but I literally can’t believe it, 2 tests yesterday and I still did another one this morning just incase 🤣 I think I’ll buy some of the clear blue ones that tells you how many weeks next week, I’m just so worried I have everything crossed for a healthy baby x

RedRobyn2021 · 12/08/2023 13:17

@Mrsttcno1

It depends which test you get, they have ones that tell you an estimation of how many weeks you are and others that just say pregnant or not pregnant.

You count how many weeks you are from the first day of your last period. I don't get it because your baby wouldn't have been conceived then, but that's apparently how it is done.

Were you trying for a while? Is that why you're a bit worried? X

Mrsttcno1 · 12/08/2023 13:23

@RedRobyn2021 No we actually haven’t been trying for long at all, so I honestly have no excuse for how worried I am. I wish I’d never started googling or reading so many threads on here because I don’t know if it’s just the threads I have been on but it’s just really got me worrying about this pregnancy. I feel like I can’t be fully excited for awhile yet which is such a shame because I was so excited to see a positive test but this fear crept in so quickly it’s really taken me by surprise x
