OCTOBER 2024 BABIES!

[tryingforbaba]

Just found out I am 1-2 weeks pregnant according to clear blue digital!!

Estimated due date is 1st Oct.

Here's a thread for anyone due around same time. Let's enjoy this wild ride together 🩷🩷🩷🩷

This was 7+3 with my DD.
Will be having a scan at 8 weeks this time :)

@Ems1992 thank you for sharing! That’s more than I thought! How far along are you at the moment?

I’m 5+5 at the moment!
my scan is the day after yours. :-)

Aw wow! I’ll come back here and share the photos! It’ll be interesting to compare how much they change over a couple of days!

@PineappleBella i’m due the same date as you and my scans the 23rd too. It’s a viability scan which is routine at the ivf clinic I’m at. I’ll be so so nervous as it gets nearer the time

@Vik27 aw amazing! I’d love a due date twin! I wonder if I’ll due dates change after the 12 week scan? What time is your scan at? I’ll be racing back here to check up on you and share what happened! I actually think that the wait till the 12 week scan is worse than the 2ww 😂 only 35 weeks to go 🤯😂

Hi all, little update from me: the blood test results went from 466 to 1032 in 48 hrs so doctor is happy it's viable 😊 They still want me to go in on Monday for a scan to check for ectopic though the midwife did day they were erring on the side of caution and 'probably ' nothing to worry about.

Will have a clearer idea of a due date from then but still not expecting to anything but yolk sac, finger crossed in the right place.

Can breathe a little easier for a day or two 🙈

My date will definitely change as I ovulate in the 3rd week not the 2nd week, so I expect I’m a week(ish) behind. I assume this will be corrected at my 12 week scan :) we will see!! I was tracking ovulation so have a good idea of when we conceived.

@Ems1992 I’m pretty sure I ovulated on the 16th of January, so I’m interested to see how they date me ☺️ congratulations!

Hi everyone, I wonder if I might be able to dip my toe in over here....
I found out I was pregnant 2 and half weeks ago, which was a HUGE shock, as I have had IVF treatment abroad in Nov/Dec... but it was a freeze all cycle. I was waiting for AF to show up to start the prep for transfer (I have a whole shelf of the fridge full of meds ready to go) ... but it didn't start. I thought the stims had just obliterated my body's normal responses, but I eventually tested and it was positive!! I had quite a big bleed a week later (I thought I would be 6 weeks based on LMP, obv wasn't tracking ovulation) and so I booked a Pvt scan last Monday, was told I had miscarried, only a pocket of blood visible in my uterus :( they referred me to EPU to check there wasn't anything ectopic as there wasn't a pregnancy in my uterus. The following day EPU confirmed there was indeed a pregnancy in my uterus, albeit at 5 weeks, but it had a yolk sac and a fetal pole. I couldn't believe it at this stage my emotions were gone 🤣.
It's been a super long week but EPU saw me again today, and saw it had grown, and now had a heartbeat. It's only measuring 6+0. So I think this will push my due date into October. I'm a bit worried as it seems to be all a bit slower than I thought it would be (my last period was 20/12, so it's a full week behind, but also who knows when I ovulated?!) I am 36, and have very low AMH, so I'm sure it's only because of the effect of the stim meds that a follicle managed to squeeze out an egg at some point. It's a miracle and I can't quite believe it at the moment, I feel like it's all going to end at some point. This is my first pregnancy, so it's all a bit daunting. I liked the heavy monitoring of IVF prep, this feels wild just letting my body see if it can grow a human without any intervention.
I've been on the September threads but wondered if I should sort of be here too, as there's probably a few more of you that are at a similar stage to me, hope that's okay??

@MamaToDD same for me. I'm only 4+1 but had to go to the bathroom at work just to close my eyes for 2 minutes. Early nights for all I guess.

@CharlieBalf fantastic news!

So relieved! Got my HCG result back and it’s 46.8! I’m 3 weeks something so very happy with that!

@PineappleBella 2pm when’s yours? Yes I can’t think about the 12 week scan yet I just need to get through the next 2 weeks to at least know it’s viable and in the right place.

@PineappleBella at 7 weeks with my previous 2 pregnancies I could see a little jelly bean shape with a lovely flickering heartbeat. It’s such a joyful moment. I’ve got my early scan in EPU on 27th I will be 8+4 it feels like a lifetime away

@CharlieBalf woohoo!! That’s a beautiful raise isn’t it. Fingers crossed there wil be more to see!!

@californiacooper absolutely, come on in!! Sounds like you have been on quite the whirlwind already!!

Do you think it’s safe to change brand of your pregnancy vitamin. I’m presuming it is and know it’s a silly question but after a second trimester loss you question everything a thousand times

Hey everyone! Great to see so many scan dates I got my early scan confirmed today at my clinic on the 22nd 😬 so now to countdown the days!!! Anyone scan date twins? I’m already nervous about it. I will only be 6+4 wks but as I’ve had quite a few losses they were happy to scan me a bit earlier and I can get a rescan if needed 🤞

how is everyone’s symptoms doing? Weirdly I seem to feel nauseous in the afternoons at random times but thankfully it isn’t constant. Almost 🤮 today though …

@Nic2908 i would presume this would be fine as long as it’s safe for pregnancy but maybe you could check with a midwife to give you peace of mind? x

@Nic2908 I think they all have roughly the same doses of vitamins but check to be sure? I'm taking the gummie ones because I can't stomach the big pregnacare ones 😆

@Sunandsea13 well done!

@Vik27 mine is at 12:40pm so pretty close together too!

@SarahL90 @praying4babba Congratulations and welcome. ☺️

@MamaToDD I was really tired last weekend when I was 5+3 like you are now - I was okay if I was up and about but every time I sat down I felt like I could have dozed off! Been a bit more energetic this week but definitely feeling tired earlier than normal at night.

@CharlieBalf That is really good news, you must be relieved. Hopefully you get definite confirmation that all is okay when you have your scan.

@californiacooper Welcome - that's quite an experience you've had so far! I really hope things progress well for you and you can join everyone here in the October club.

Hello ladies. 👋 Hope you don't mind me joining. I've just got my BFP, 1-2 weeks on a clearblue digital. I think I'm due on October 21st.
Look forward to sharing the journey with you.

@CharlieBalf Amazing!!! What a beautiful increase. So reassuring.

@Sunandsea13 Will do you another test in 48hrs? How many days DPO do you think you are?

@MamaBee23 welcome to the group 😀
