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

@WolfMother326 I should add that tests are getting darker and I have early pregnancy signs this time around so would rather wait a while and not get stressed with it all for now 😁

WolfMother326 · 13/08/2023 14:57

That's great @DizzyM43, so glad you're having reassuring symptoms. So far I'm just very tired and gassy, but I'm only 4 weeks and in my last pregnancy I didn't start feeling nausea until about 6 weeks.

DizzyM43 · 13/08/2023 14:59

@WolfMother326
I think I'm about the same. Good luck with your scan I'm sure all will be fine but totally understand the anxiety I've been testing like a crazy person already lol so just gonna chill for a bit let it sink in lol 😂

Hi All,
I'm freaking out a bit with the whole testing thing. I know I shouldn't but its so hard not to. I'm 15 dpo and still getting 1-2 weeks on clearblue digital. I told myself when I get 2-3 ill wait a week and then test again as no point before then.

I've no symptoms except waking up at 6am and not being able to go back to sleep.

I was under a fertility clinic even though this happened without intervention so they've offered me a scan at 7 weeks

@Hannah4850 you may be similar time to me, my app says I’m due 24th April!

I’ve ordered some of the clear blue “weeks” tests to arrive this week, I don’t know what I’m hoping to achieve from this other than I’ve told myself once I have one of those that says 3+ I’m going to stop testing, currently testing twice a day like a crazy person 😬

I’ve been looking at early scans and going to book one for the second week of September when I think I’ll be around 8 weeks.

does anyone know when I need to tell my GP? (Or whoever it is you need to tell)! X

Ooh yay that's great!!
Could be preggo buddies 😁😁🥳🥳
I did a digi last night and this morning both 1-2 weeks
I'm stopping testing now and relaxing, the emotional rollercoaster hit me yesterday but I'm feeling better today 😊
How are your emotions??💖

Mrsttcno1 · 13/08/2023 15:51

@Hannah4850 I think I have honestly all the emotions🤣 I got my first positive on Friday and I’ve done 6 tests since then, and was wide awake at half 4 this morning ordering another 2 boxes on Amazon🥲 so basically I’ve lost the plot. But 2 that I’ve ordered are the “how many weeks” clear blue, and I’m telling myself once I see 3+ on there I will stop testing and I don’t think that will be for awhile yet so I’m going to just try and relax!

how are you feeling? X

Haha sames im feeling better today, more chilled but definitely tired haha barely slept all night 🤣🤣
We've told our families and close friends now everybody is excited but I'm cautious until I see a heartbeat 😊
I was so scared yesterday it hit me sooo hard and now I'm ready to enjoy it 😁💖

WolfMother326 · 13/08/2023 19:11

Hi @roro87 I think 15 dpo is definitely within the margin of error because even if you know when you got a positive ovulation test it could still have been 24 hours before the egg was fertilised. Also the tests have a huge range for detecting hcg and can be inaccurate. Maybe try again tomorrow or the next day? If you've not got bleeding or intense cramping, fingers crossed you're all good.

Plan2024 · 13/08/2023 19:29

Hey guys hoping I can join! I'm about 5-6 weeks, only sore boobs really and not much else, well maybe tiredness lol which makes me a bit nervous! Hope you are all well xx

Cinderz123 · 13/08/2023 19:30

Just got my strongest reading on my strip tests 😁 trying not to get overly excited but I can't help it, I'm testing daily like a mad woman but it brings me comfort on days like this where I woke up super anxious but now I might be able to actually fall asleep with comfort knowing that my body is playing ball today 😁 just had to share my joy lol

Yey congrats 🥳 🍀x

jodie000 · 13/08/2023 22:21

@Cinderz123 looking really good!

Ttcmumma · 13/08/2023 22:22

Ladies I'm about 5+3, if I grab one last clear blue digital tomorrow do we think I'll get that 3+ that will allow me to stop testing so much 😅. Getting dye stealers on LH tests

jodie000 · 13/08/2023 22:22

@Plan2024 hey! Congratulations 💕 same here, sore boobs and occasional light cramping. Enjoying the light symptoms while they last!!

19EMMA89 · 13/08/2023 22:48

@Ttcmumma 😂😂😂 if you do one , please keep us updated , I need to give myself a deadline too , I haven't tested in two days but if I test again and still get 2-3 , I'll want to keep going , so I'm trying to delay it ! It's hard 😂😂😂

peaky297 · 14/08/2023 12:44

Afternoon everyone!!

How are you all doing today?

After being too afraid to formalise anything after my chemical last month, I've finally put some bits in place this morning. I've now notified my GP and have an early reassurance scan booked for 31st August! 😬 excited, but terrified! Xx

Cinderz123 · 14/08/2023 13:13

Yey well done @peaky297 😊 is it private scan u booked?

Today im feeling positive too for first time since I found out (thursday) still not sleeping at night tho 😴 iv noticed today my very sore boobs are rather large as in seriously noticeable lol off for food later with friends n there's no hiding them 😆 little bit of nausea, peeing like a race horse and yet another mouth ulcer oh the joys lol

peaky297 · 14/08/2023 13:17

@Cinderz123 it is indeed - booked for when I'll be about 7+4- praying it shows a healthy baby with a good strong heart beat! 🤞♥️
Your symptoms all sound quite similar to mine - just waiting for the nausea now.

it's a weird feeling wishing to feel rough isn't it!? 🙈😂

Cinderz123 · 14/08/2023 13:26

@peaky297 it is im nervous about going into wrk this week n hiding the nausea lol iv been off last few days so it's been ok lol oh u are mote patient than me im looking at booking one almost as soon as I hit 6 weeks if I'm not offered one b4 lol iv got a health check today at my surgery as routine with changing practice so hoping to get something from that although I'm not sure what lol xx

DizzyM43 · 14/08/2023 13:34

@peaky297 good luck for your scan on the 31st will have fingers crossed it's good news for you and that you get to see heartbeat of your little bean 😁🍀

@Ttcmumma & @19EMMA89 I did another clear blue this morning still 2-3 weeks I'm planning on stopping when I get 3+ also, good luck with yours. Think I will wait till the weekend to try again 🙈

@Cinderz123 my boobs feel like they weigh an absolute tonne as well as being very sore, are yours really heavy? and I've got a huge cold sore also lol

I'm welcoming all signs and even looking forward to morning sickness (just a bit lightheaded currently and waves of feeling a bit sicky) all means my body is doing what it should be 😄

Is anyone else having absolutely insane vivid dreams? I'm waking up thinking they are real and up about 3 times during the night to go to the toilet lol 😂

Cinderz123 · 14/08/2023 13:53

@DizzyM43 yes when I take my bra off I feel I might hit the floor and topple over 😆 iv also got some rather large pretty unsightly blue veins which are very prominent right now 🙈

Ttcmumma · 14/08/2023 14:36

So I got a pack of 2 digitals, trying one now and if that's not 3+ then I have another for a few days time.

I haven't told anyone I'm pregnant yet so I can only share this with you all but my chemist looked very concerned and then said to me 'how old are you, you look under 16' I'm 27 with a 5 year old son 😳 so shocked haha

Ttcmumma · 14/08/2023 14:41

Got my 3+ so happy!

4 weeks pregnant / due April 2024
Cinderz123 · 14/08/2023 15:21

Congratulations @Ttcmumma 😁

DizzyM43 · 14/08/2023 15:26

@Ttcmumma congrats on 3+ and also looking so young 😂 fab news 😊
