So we’ve been TTC baby #2 for 5 months. Had a positive test in April that sadly ended in a chemical pregnancy. So this is cycle 3 since then and got a very faint positive on an internet cheapie last night at 9dpo. I went out and bout a CB digital today and have got my BFP confirmed today on it 😊
My EDD is 4th April 2025 going from LMP and cycle length.
I’m aware it’s very early days and anything can happen that’s why I’ve decided not to tell anyone I know until after my period is due which is Friday. Just can’t keep it to myself and would love for others to join and talk to who have recently found out they are expecting in April 2025!

How is everyone feeling today? I’ve just ordered another pack of pregnancy strips 🤦🏻‍♀️ I can’t cope with the waiting for the scans. I may book an early scan too just for reassurance. Is anyone else booking an early scan?
I was thinking of waiting till 8 weeks xx

LottieW93 · 02/08/2024 11:11

Pregnancy test strips* I will probably test every single day now 🙃🙃🙃

fortheloveofcollies · 02/08/2024 11:14

@LottieW93 I'm thinking of booking an early scan too. It's such a long wait to 12 weeks. I'm thinking 8 weeks too but a little bit of me wants to do 7 weeks.

I'm really struggling with symptoms. I seem to have everything but the nausea is the worst one with the fatigue and back pain following close behind

gg9320 · 02/08/2024 12:20

@LottieW93 I’ve booked for 7+6 😆 I had one at a similar time in my last preg.

Bubblesandballoons · 02/08/2024 12:27

@LottieW93 too hot is how I feel 🥵😂. Other than that I’m just tired, with sore boobs. I have a scan booked at 6+1 due to my miscarriage history, if I didn’t I’d have one between 7-8 weeks for sure. Not a fan of the long wait either 😂.

Whenyoupickapawpaw · 02/08/2024 12:37

@LottieW93 I'm also thinking of booking a scan as 12 weeks seems so long away but I don't know if it will ease any worries. I've had missed period and slight mild cramping day to day but no other symptoms. I'm taking that as a positive?! I'm not 5 weeks yet so they may progress... x

Megan004 · 02/08/2024 12:43

I’m going to book an early scan in too, really want to do 6 weeks but I know I should try and hold out until 8 weeks. This early days anxiety is something else isn’t it!

I’ve also got lower back pain and round the front. I wouldn’t say it was painful more like twinges. I think I’m on edge with every pain at the moment 😂

I want to do 6 weeks as well but I'm worried if my dates are off and I'm earlier than I think then they'll be nothing to see which will worry me even more (plus a waste of money). So I think the earliest I'll do will be 7 but trying to wait it out to 8.

StampOnTheGround · 02/08/2024 13:47

I'm also going to book an early scan, I think for what would be 8 weeks from my last period, but in reality would be about 7 weeks and 2 days!

Sooo tired! I ordered more cheap test strips too , I'm so anxious since the last MC. My consultant is seeing me on Thursday but I'll just be 5+2 then so I don't think there's any point scanning me, although she might anyways, she scanned me every single appointment last pregnancy. I think I had 4 scans before my 12 week one 🙈which is good for me because ✨anxiety ✨

Kaybubs · 02/08/2024 15:47

I've booked a scan in for 8 weeks. Feels like an eternity away 😂 I was considering one before that but I remember with my last pregnancy we couldn't really see much at 5/6 weeks and I think it made me more anxious.

Forgot how exhausting pregnancy is. I just want to lie down all day but my toddler has other things in mind 😭

JC084 · 02/08/2024 17:16

Hi ladies, I'll join you on this thread if that's ok!
Just had my bfp yesterday at 12dpo.
Due around 13th April I think. Cautiously excited due to a history of losses, but hoping this little one might stick 🤞🏼

Popsicales · 02/08/2024 17:53

Hi, I’ve been reading through the thread the last couple of days. Congratulations to everyone! 😊

I’m due 8th April with my third baby. Currently 4+3. I had a molar pregnancy at the beginning of this year, so I’ll be getting reassurance scans at 7 and 10 weeks with the EPU which I’m looking forward to for some reassurance that things are hopefully ok this time.

IVFlife · 02/08/2024 18:05

We will be having an early scan with our ivf clinic I think they will tell us on Monday when that will be but apparently for our clinic its 8 weeks. My nhs booking appointment and 12 week scan arrived in the post today!!

Giraffeee · 02/08/2024 18:45

It’s so exciting seeing all of the new names join this thread. Sprinkling lots of sticky dust for everyone✨. So far my symptoms are quite minimal but the tiredness has kicked in full force. Also upset tummy?! Hoping the sickness and nausea can hold off as long as possible especially while it’s so hot outside as it just makes things so much harder.

we were planning on telling family on the 20th Aug as it’s my DS first birthday. I’ll be 7 weeks so still very early days and I think we’d prefer to wait until closer to 8 weeks for a private scan. Last time I had a scan at 6+6 due to cramps on one side to rule out an ectopic and saw a fluttery little heart beat which was just magical

LottieW93 · 02/08/2024 20:18

Glad to know I am not the only one thinking of an early scan lol! I don’t know whether to book it now or wait a week to book just incase.

I’ve been having little pains in my stomach too, every pain I think shit could this be something wrong now 😫

praying for us xx

koalabearboombox · 02/08/2024 20:39

Congratulations everyone! I will tentatively join you. Got a faint BFP a couple of days ago at 11dpo and seems to be looking okay now at 13dpo. This will be my 2nd DC with my DS currently 3.5. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Congrats!

And yes, I hadn't really noticed until I was chilling on the sofa in my comfy bra and my boobs were popping out 😂

MsSandyToes · 02/08/2024 22:45

Congratulations everyone! I'd like to tentatively join you. I had a miscarriage at 5 weeks in March and a miscarriage at 7 weeks in May so I have everything crossed this one sticks. My daughter is only 10 months old and she was an IVF (ICSI) baby so I'm over the moon to have got pregnant but it's been an emotional rollercoaster. I was due to go back for IVF in September so I really hope that's not necessary now 🤞

I've read through all of the thread and I will definitely also be getting an early scan when I'm sure there will be something to see. I loved seeing my daughter develop and got quite the addiction to scans!

My due date is about the 10th of April if I've calculated correctly. 🥰

Big congrats ❤ I have a 10mo too and also miscarried in May, my due date is 9th of May if I have it right, Hoping these ones stick for us!

MsSandyToes · 03/08/2024 12:51

@Lovedatforme Congratulations to you too! Is your 10 month old your first? Mine is and she is at the trying to kill herself with everything stage now that she's crawling and sofa surfing! 😅🤣

I had bad morning sickness between 9-20 weeks last time... that will be interesting with a baby that doesn't understand this time 😅😬

CharlotteRae · 03/08/2024 12:52

So still spotting brown... but feel like I can finally see a tiny bit of progression?? Same test done at lunchtime both days, first on Thursday 12pm and bottom one just now.... 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Due April 2025 ✨
IVFlife · 03/08/2024 14:05

@Giraffeee I feel really tired today too. I can't imagine how tired you are with a wee one already!

@CharlotteRae I can def see progression

Anyone else keep getting "fanny daggers" and "javelin arse"?! Other early preg threads seem to suggest it's normal and common.

I’ve booked myself in for a scan at 8+3. It’s my first pregnancy so I really don’t want to wait until the end of September for my 12 week scan. But I also don’t want to book too early to avoid disappointment xx
