Anyone else for November 2025 yet? Technically I'm due Halloween but highly likely to be a first half of November baby assuming everything goes well. 3+6 today and I've known since Tuesday at 3+3! Roll on double figures and feeling a bit more secure in it all.

Ah it was amazing thank you! I feel relieved now they both know, I need their support as a chronic over thinker/analyser, so I’m pleased I’ve told them already 🙏🏼

Agree with you that every day feels like it lasts forever… maybe that’s because I’ve been awake before 6 every day this week testing 🫣

I know how you feel I've also been testing every single day I've become obsessed 🙈😅

That’s great @BessieBye, yes I’m the same way. I’m going to tell my family when I next see them in person, which will be my sister this Wednesday and my mum the following weekend, it will be a relief when they know.

I can’t believe it, for the first time in my life I slipped and fell in the shower/bath, I fell backwards onto my bum. From googling it seems this shouldn’t be dangerous at this stage but I’m panicking of course.

Are you ok?? I'm sure it will be fine as long as no cramping or bleeding 🖤

Writerscompanion · 24/03/2025 08:11

Yes I think so! Just worrying about it but I’m not in any pain and no other worrying signs.

XMummyTo5X · 24/03/2025 14:18

@Writerscompanion n'awww i hope your ok!! x

Hi everyone. Thought I'd say hi on here. I did join the Whatsapp but it's a little overwhelming with how many messages whizz through and this thread may be easier to keep track of.

I'm 5+4 today going on LMP but in reality, a few days behind that I think due to late ovulation. Not quite sure what's happening as last week, I thought I was on my period and we hadn't caught this cycle but after a week of feeling like it wasn't quite a normal period and having a few other niggles, took a pregnancy test (to rule it out more than anything) last Thursday and was super surprised to see an unmistakable line, and 2-3 weeks on a digi.

BUT, I have obviously been experiencing a fair amount of bleeding. I'm still spotting now - sometimes a bit heavier, but certainly nothing that warrants more than a panty-liner. Fluctuates in colour but largely brown.

Had a bit of pain Friday evening, and again late Saturday afternoon so was fearful of the worst. Feeling in limbo land really... I fluctuate from being wildly optimistic one moment and planning into the future to convincing myself this little bean isn't sticking around.

It's still very early days. I'm going to wait until Thursday to take another test and see if that helps give me some reassurance. Hopefully the bleeding/spotting subsides.

Am feeling pretty nauseous and boobs are so heavy and tender... so there's some definite 'good' signs. Just got to wait it out a bit I suppose...

Anyway, that's me. This is my second pregnancy (I have a DS who is 8yo from my previous marriage). First pregnancy for my partner who is very excited.

I’ve used my last CBD and got 2-3 weeks! relieved as the strip tests don’t seem to be REALLY dark, despite being darker than few days ago.

For reference first CBD was 1-2 on Friday (21/03 when period was due)

I think I need to stop testing now cos I’m driving myself crazy 🫣

Hey all, I’ve just over the weekend had my long awaited BFP! Going by my LMP my due date is 28/11/25.

im feeling very anxious as I have suffered x 2 previous miscarriages one at 14 weeks, then another in December 2023 when I had a PUI. So we stopped trying until September least year.

I have an early scan booked for Friday so just hoping this one sticks❤️

feeling ok at the moment a bit nauseous and lower back ache and a few aches and pains now and then but nothing requiring painkillers I’m hoping all this is normal lol

i know what you mean about the whatsapp thing, hence why im just sticking to mumsnet, much easier! & like whats the point of having a mumsnet account where you can talk to people but then set up whatsapp groups & fb(no offense to those that do use them though) but yeah just abit pointless in my opinion 😆 have you contacted your doctors in regards to the pain & bleeding?

XMummyTo5X · 24/03/2025 15:47

@missdt89 congratulations to you & welcome aboard ❤️ how far along are you now? i have an early scan on friday too, i cant wait!! lol xx

XMummyTo5X · 24/03/2025 15:48

@BessieBye eeeekkk congratulations on your 2-3!! 😊 💕

missdt89 · 24/03/2025 16:23

@XMummyTo5X I am around 4 + 3 I think so will be exactly 5 weeks on Friday so not expecting to see much on the scan just hoping it’s in the right place this time, I’m just worrying about every little twinge at the moment forgetting they are most likely normal at this stage.

i am just trying to get through to Friday at this point and each week that passes with no issues will help, but I am very anxious at the moment

Nikkix86 · 24/03/2025 16:32

Welcome girls and congrats 🥳 I have my early scan booked in with epu next Wednesday. Feels like so long to wait but just praying we see a heartbeat this time

Well keep my fingers crossed for you. I've been nervous to ring EPU yet despite my bleeding as with no history of mc or anything. Should I be? If I've been experiencing bleeding? I'm 5+3 today by LMP and have been bleeding/spotting since 4+1.

I think I'm just going to keep my fingers crossed and wait to see what happens over the next few days... but am I going to kick myself if the worst happens and I didn't seek medical advice sooner?

I would always phone for bleeding and they would want you to aswell. Even if everything is ok they might be able to tell you why and it's definitely better to be safe than sorry 🖤

madasahatter96 · 24/03/2025 18:49

@XMummyTo5Xdid you get your 2-3 digital let me know how the scan goes i am looking to book one but not sure what dates would be best x

XMummyTo5X · 24/03/2025 19:14

@madasahatter96 yes i did thanks on saturday 😊 and ofcoarse i will do, not expecting to see much as will only be 5+3, but id say if you want to book a scan do it between 6&7 weeks as you should definatly see something by then!.. have you got a 2-3 on a digital yet? x

Last time I waited to seven weeks because I read that the heartbeat isn’t always visible at six weeks and I knew I’d stress out if it was unclear. Planning the same this time, got one booked for next Thursday - feels like an age to wait.

madasahatter96 · 24/03/2025 19:18

@XMummyTo5Xyes got it on Friday i've just ordered 2 more lol hoping to get 3+ lol. Are you having hospital scan or private? I'm trying to hold out till 8 weeks for a scan as don't want to pay £70 too see nothing or just cause me more stress x

XMummyTo5X · 24/03/2025 19:23

@madasahatter96 it will be a hospital scan but under a recurrent misscarriage clinic in Leeds due to my history.. and i understand what your saying, i agree with @Writerscompanion too.. i only said between 6&7 because with my son i had my first early scan at 7weeks but i was measuring 6+5 and we got to see sac, fetal pole & heartbeat at that gestation 😊 x

madasahatter96 · 24/03/2025 19:26

@XMummyTo5XI'm sure with my youngest daughter I was only 5+5 and seen a heartbeat but that was hospital internal so will keep my fingers crossed for you Friday. My epu at my local hospital isn't great so I'm just waiting to see midwife then I'm assuming I will be referred to the local women's hospital for specialist scans i say local it's an hours drive but closest one to me lol x

XMummyTo5X · 24/03/2025 19:34

@madasahatter96 n'awww thankyou 💕 & yeah Leeds isn't my local hospital like, i live in York.. but its only a 45min drive for us really.. where are you from if you dont mind me asking? you from north or south? or east or west? lol. & you have reminded me, havent even refered myself yet to midwifes 😆 but will see what scan is saying on friday x

madasahatter96 · 24/03/2025 20:19

@XMummyTo5XI'm in the midlands x

Writerscompanion · 25/03/2025 07:08

Well I couldn’t wait until tomorrow did my remaining CB digital and did it this morning - it’s still 2-3 weeks. I should be 5+5 so I’m starting to get a bad feeling about it all. I wish I had clearer symptoms, there wasn’t really anything yesterday. Just telling myself I ovulated late and the 3+ is just around the corner, although I’ve also read some people with successful pregnancies never progress to 3+. Not sure when to test again.

The best advise I can give is stop testing!! It drove me mad waiting for my 3+ which I didn’t get until I was going into my 6 wk in the end but I ovulated a week later. I also remembered questioning it all with the nurse too as she said they aren’t always correct and told me to stop testing. Have you got an early scan booked in at all? Xx
