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 🥰

Thanks @Riverofhope. The top two tests are yesterday's (though they have dried out faded a little) and the bottom one is just now.
I am a really non-confrontational person but I did feel very dismissed. I think I'll do as you suggested

Hey everyone been lurking since last week! Got my postive saturday 2nd! Then positve on digital the next day roughly 14DPO but didn't do ovulation tests so not entirely sure. Working out around may 14th due date, I've just joined the whatsapp and facebook pages as this will be my first so pretty clueless on most thingsSmile

Just gotten my dye stealer on clear blue 🙊 I've been using eBay one step cheapies which I can't seem to get a dye steal on but decided to do one of the cheap clear blues and this showed up straight away. Anxiously testing each day due to prev losses but I will stop testing now and wait for my scan next week...

@TTCbaby2x Looking really good there!

Hi @HavinKittens lovely to see you here too 😊😊

we have a what’s app group now too. The link is up above xx

@ErrolFinn am sorry your having a hard time.

My ectopic presented with what i thought was a light period but i felt pregnant a few days later took a test positive so though chemical.

I then had further bleeds very almost like gushes if bleeding twice, and nothing more, week later still felt pregnant did another tests positive, did a CBD got 1-2 weeks, week later did CBD for 2-3 weeks, i then contacted my consultant and she fid an early scan saw a sac in my uterus but collapsing so said missed miscarriage so had to wait a week had more bleeding and scan again but the day my scan wad due had horrendous pain.. ended up being an ectopic 🙈.. it then went into rupture after medical treatment and my hcg being 72

I would push for ab scan or bloods, just be loud!!

Hopefully its implantation bleeding for you which is also very common too

Hey all,

Been doing some reading up today as FTM 4w4d and wanted to confirm my understanding of timing was the same.

If an article said in weeks 3 and 4 would you say that meant up until you are 4 weeks pregnant or up until you are 5w?

I figured I am 4w4d so I’m in week 5 as week one is 0-7days?

Hope that makes sense!

Thanks all!

Hi all,

tentatively joining. Had a MMC in July so very nervous and happy but not getting too excited.

I’ve read through all your messages, so lovely to see all your happiness and I’m sending hugs to all the women who’ve had a bumpy road to get here.

according to NHS app I’d be due 18th May, but just concentrating on watching my tests get darker for now and taking each day as it comes

HashB · 07/09/2023 21:36

Also nervous because so far my only ‘symptoms’ include really light period pain (I used to get period cramps so bad they’d wake me up in the midddle of the night last time) and achey legs, another of my period symptoms.

Rojak89 · 08/09/2023 09:25

12 dpo and have officially got my BFP!
There's nothing like seeing it written down 🥳
I'm so excited and terrified all at once 😂

Congratulations!

is anyone planning on doing another weeks indicator test at 2-3 weeks to see if it increases? I’m worried it’ll just freak me out if it doesn’t, and I know it doesn’t increase for everyone

I wouldn't bother, I know lots of people have said it can be inaccurate so I didn't do it. Didn't want to give myself more stress!

TTCbaby2x · 08/09/2023 10:34

@HavinKittens I haven't taken another digital since my 1-2 weeks but I have been testing each day with eBay cheapies and watching the progression... I can't justify spending another £10-£15 on clear blue digital when the cheapies are telling me what I need to know but if it gives you peace of mind go for it! I have heard people say though they didn't get progression on them but did on dye tests so if it is going to stress you stay away and save yourself the anxiety!! X

brickbybrickbybrick · 08/09/2023 11:04

Can I join?! I am 5+4 (due 6th May), FTM and all feeling very surreal - I have booked an early scan for two weeks' time mainly for the reassurance really. No major symptoms yet, just a lottt of bloating

Riverofhope · 08/09/2023 12:09

@HashB Congrats! I’m due 19th May! Also being cautious too though, but believing for the best! X

Riverofhope · 08/09/2023 12:10

@Rojak89 Woohoo!!! Congrats 🥳 xxx

lilpopcorn · 08/09/2023 12:20

@brickbybrickbybrick same here. I'm 6+2 and due 8 May I think. The bloat is so real!! Thankfully not much nausea though (yet). I booked my scan for 2 weeks on Sunday. So nervous for it!

brickbybrickbybrick · 08/09/2023 12:36

@lilpopcorn congrats! Glad to hear I'm not the only one ..already getting well acquainted with my stretchiest leggings 😂 good luck for the scan!! Everything crossed for you x

Toda11 · 08/09/2023 14:15

How are you all booking early scans?

I’ve self referred with the midwife but not heard anything in the last week. Currently 4w 4d

thanks x

ttcthoughts · 08/09/2023 14:16

@Toda11 you can book them private, but I know a lot of ladies in this group have had losses so would be entitled to a early scan 😊

TTCbaby2x · 08/09/2023 14:17

@Toda11 I have paid privately for mine x

TheBirdintheCave · 08/09/2023 14:19

@Toda11 Mine will be through the EPU which I'll arrange when I'm confident I'm not having a chemical.

lilpopcorn · 08/09/2023 14:27

@Toda11 I booked mine privately with Window to the Womb. First midwife appointment isn't until 8+6 for me and that will just be the booking appointment.
