Due May 2024?

[Kerry93]

I'm currently 11dpo. Had a two faint positives yesterday followed by a positive clear blue this morning. This will hopefully be my second pregnancy due around 14th May by dates. Just wondered if anybody wanted to share the journey, symptoms and advice 🥰

@MrsBFaith welcome and congrats ❤️

@miamiamia869 it is isn’t it. I read it if I get a wave of anxiety.

hows everybody doing?? My anxiety comes and goes atm. One minute I’m googling baby names, the next I’m googling symptoms of ectopic pregnancy 😭 it’s exhausting tbh! I was telling my sister who is super chilled and was so calm throughout all her pregnancies, she said that sort of stuff never even entered her mind. She did one pregnancy test and that was it, she was pregnant and happy about it. She said to me ‘god your never happy unless your worrying’ and she has a point. Wish I could calm my brain! I think because I want this so much i’m just terrified of it being taken away from me….. anyways thats my rant for the day…

@nh93 and @LBNM19 , my cheapies also stopped getting darker, I don't know if their quality (maybe they just can't get too dark), or if it's the hcg, but I decided to be positive until proof of disaster.
I found this data on normal levels of hcg in different weeks, it shows that until the 6th week, hcg can actually remain quite low, and it's still normal. So I'll go by it and wait.
@nh93 fingers crossed and your tests in 48h will have increased and all will be fine!

Welcome to new all members 👋

Hi guys

my EDD is 4th May after having early scans due to multiple previous miscarriages.. next scan on Friday.

past 2 weeks I constantly feel exhausted, probably the most fatigued I’ve ever been. Sore boobs and absolutely no appetite, which is very unusual cos I am food obsessed.

just won’t want to eat. So frustrating.

feeling nauseous at times but the lack of appetite is killing me 😔

Forgot to add -
husband has covid 😔 he works half the time away from home and developed symptoms whilst away, due to come back tomorrow :/

@Yolksac I totally relate to you as I’m due 03/05. I am exhausted all the time and would sleep before 9pm. I get not wanting to eat just try have biscuits to nibble on or something in the moments when you feel you can eat. Sometimes by dinner time I’m really put off eating certain things…

hello, can I join? First pregnancy. 4w+4 so still very early days. Light cramping on and off since the weekend but no other symptoms.

@Meggan123 I can’t totally relate because I’m the same as you. I keep thinking it’s an ectopic pregnancy. Can’t seem to get that idea out of my head this time! I keep trying to
tall myself down but it is hard. Would be nice to be more like your sister.

@Nina7 thanks for posting that’s really good to know!

@Meggan123 .. That is me. Yesterdsy i was googling prams and then etopic pregnancies. Like you say its because we want it so mucu. Your sister has a point though i think we need to be more like your sister.

@Maximoo1234 welcome and congratulations. That is all I have had too cramps on and off. I spose my boobs are tender to the touch if I think about it but nothing I'd really notice otherwise. My hungers a bit off too usually I'm a pig but seem to be eating less which is strange for me. That could just be coincidence, probably the excitement and anxiety xx

Hi everyone,

Hope I can join. Thought this was going to be my third chemical pregnancy in a row but after five increasingly darker positives over the past nine days seems like it is sticking so fingers crossed. Still a bit nervous about getting too excited though!

Think I’m 4+5 and my due date would be 25th May. I already have a 2.5yo and feeling like the age gap will work pretty well for us. Symptoms at the moment are mostly hunger and being quite snappy!

Congratulations to everyone else!!

I feel so guilty. All I've been craving is nachos so I just had a big bowl for breakfast with cheese. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ honestly this craving for salty is insane....

Hi all, I’m also expecting a May baby 🎉 I’ll have my first scan next week when I will be 6 weeks & 3 days and I’m already very exited/nervous/terrified.

Hi all. I’m 6w today and since last night I’ve had this weird brown discharge. It’s not red at all, it was v light pink last night but now just brown. I did have a transvaginal exam on Tuesday - could it be from that? I’m so worried so any advice would be great. Thank you xxxx

Usually brown blood is old blood so more often than not its nothing to worry about. Unfortunately for me it was the start of a miscarriage but everyone is different. I'm sure it may just be hormones or the exam as you say xx

anyone else really bloated? i’m 6+4 and can barely eat at this point, everytime i eat i literally feel like i’m going to pop. 3rd baby so don’t know if it’s just that?

@satellitesunshine I was really bloated last week (week 4), what really helped me was to drink 1.5L of water with psyllium husk or chia seeds in it. My goal was 2L but I couldn't make it, but even with 1.5L I was fine after two days.

@Twdfn123 your nachos breakfast made me laugh 😁.
I think it's inevitable to have some "unhealthy" food at some point!

I had chocolate yesterday but I'll try to be good for the rest of the week 👼

The thing is I'm rather overweight so I'm trying my hardest to eat healthy and just caved!! I lost a 1st on slimming world but didn't think I'd conceive so quickly 😳 im sure a bit of chic won't hurt lol 🥰 xx

I am v bloated and no appetite at all. Constipated and bloated 😞

I'm a mixture between really starving one minute and then totally bloated with no appetite the next. Had to stop myself from getting a burger king last night, only didn't have it because I'd already made a healthy dinner 🙈 might have to treat myself to a nice takeaway this weekend though.

Made a salad for lunch the other day and could barely eat it, didn't like the taste of the mayo on it at all which is devastating because I usually love Mayonnaise!

Anybody else still testing like a looney? 5+5 (26dpo) today and got my best dye steeler today on a cheapie frer test strip, so that has reassured me as I’m not really feeling symptoms too much. Maybe abit more tired then usual and asleep by 9.30 and boobs look abit fuller but nothing major. Hows everybody doing?

Hi Ladies,

I went for an early scan yesterday, booked by my consultant.

Going by my Flo app, I expected to be 7 weeks, however I measured 5 and a half weeks. Gestational and Yolk Sac were there but no heartbeat.

They've rebooked me again for the 4th October.

I can't work it out. I'm so anxious.

I had a digital BFP of 1-2 weeks on the 29th Aug and 2-3 weeks on the 5th Sept. My LMP was 1st August, although I've no real idea when ovulation was.

Does this sound as though my dates could just be wrong? I've had no bleeding or issues. 😞 xx

Omg this is totally me!!! Ravenous this morning and had my craving (nachos) for breakfast 😳 and then nothing since as I'm so full and bloated. And it wasn't even a big bowl 😵‍💫 pregnancy is a funny thing!

@QueeniePlumtree hey, I think its not uncommon for the early scans to be a little inaccurate especially when its super early.

it could be that you ovulated later in your cycle? Have you ever tracked ovulation before? Do you know what days you typically ovulate. I would say if you got a bfp the 29th its possible you could be anywhere between 9-14 dpo! Try not to worry xx

@QueeniePlumtree , I get really confused with dates... I would be tempered to say that as there is a sac and yolk in the uterus, that is excellent news!! Days and tests can be inaccurate, rarely, but it happens!

Having said that, @Meggan123 you might appreciate this test in your testing frenzy (which I share...)
Found it on Amazon and it has got different lines for different HCG concentrations (25, 100, 300, 1000), it's called Accufast.
Below are mine, but I should have waited to do it with FMU according to instructions.

@Nina7 oh wow, think my husband might kill me if I purchase this 😂 I’m just using up old cheapies, I have millions from my obsessive testing over the last years and abit!! It looks good though!!
