November 2025

[Esssa]

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.

Thanks - it’s good advice, I know! I went into it this time trying to be as relaxed as possible, I didn’t track ovulation or do any early testing, but it’s got a grip of me now! Yes I’ve got an early scan booked next Thursday which should be 7+0.

Alot of people don't get it till 6 weeks and some people don't get it at all. I got a really strong line on a test today so I'm going to try and stop testing now I'm driving myself mad 🤣

That’s great about your strong line! Yes we’re just driving ourselves mad but it’s very difficult not to.

I know it's easier said than done. My partner thinks I'm mad 🤣

@Writerscompanion when did you get your first 2-3? just so i can try work out when you should be getting your 3+.. but try not to worry too much 💕

My first 2-3 was on Saturday. I’ve only taken two CB, one Saturday and one today.

@Writerscompanion ok, well that is far too early yet to be getting a 3+, you need to try again this saturday x

I will! I’ve been timing it from LMP because I don’t know when I ovulated.

@Writerscompanion same here 😆 the wonders of conception eyyy 🤔 haha! im only 5weeks today, so wont be taking a digital until sunday i think as i have worked out from my previous pregnancies by looking at photos - it took 6 days to change from 2-3 to a 3+ with my son, and 8 days with my daughter.

That’s good to know! I’ve asked OH to come home with another two-pack but will wait until the weekend and then just try and wait until my scan. I am so weepy this morning, feel like I’m losing my marbles!

@Writerscompanion i think when waiting for a 3+, their is a much longer wait than waiting for a 1-2 to change to a 2-3 because the HCG threshold is something like over 2000 - hence why its best to leave it a full week between getting your 2-3 to hopefully then getting a 3+ & also HCG levels double roughly every 2 days... i felt like crying this morning when my partner put phone down on me whilst he was at work 🤦🏻‍♀️ lol bloody hormones!

@Writerscompanion so at the very least on saturday for both of us, our HCG must of been at a minimum of atleast 153 to get our 2-3 weeks 😊

Ok that’s reassuring, thank you! Xx

@Writerscompanion aye thats all i was trying to do was reassure you 😊 but yes you can tell from the amount of misscarriages i have had ect, i have done alot of reasearch when it comes to the testing part of things 😆 serial tester here 👋🏻 haha!.. you can never take the worry away but i just try to take it at a day at a time ❤️

I think it is best to stop testing 😑
Mine went from 2-3 to 3+ on clear blue in just 4 days, it should have taken at least 2-3 days more. So I in fact worried that was too fast. "damned if you do, damned if you don't!"

Perfect so if I were you going off my experience and the stress it caused me just wait till your scan and they will be able to fully reassure you hun. Honestly the emotions and feeling etc is women have to go through is just so hard isn’t it xx

@lavafieldcould be twins you get higher hgc levels x

Ooh yes that's a possibility 🤪. We decided to skip 6-7 week early scan unless worrying symptoms appear and get a 10-week scan combined with NIPT. Just two weeks to wait and find out!

@lavafieldhow many weeks are you now? I'm 5 weeks today and trying to push through to 8 weeks to have an early scan x

@madasahatter96 I am 8 weeks today!

@madasahatter96 everyone is different on early scans but I think waiting till at least 7-8 weeks is reasonable as you can see more. Of course in case of cramps or bleeding I would be rushing earlier x

@lavafieldah not too long to wait then! Keep us updated, I am also a serial tester got my 2-3 weeks on Saturday and amazon are currently delivering 2 more digital tests today should wait till Friday to test again I probably won't lol x

@lavafieldyes with my 2 daughters I had early scans but had too wait and extra 2 weeks for another scan with both as they couldn't confirm viability with both at the first scan so trying to hold out to avoid unnecessary stress. With my son I was sent for a gynacology scan as my periods had stopped and couldn't figure out why and discovered I was 14 weeks pregnant never had a positive test with him still baffles me 10 years later lol x

I got my 2-3 weeks last Thursday so I'll do one more this Thursday to see if I get a 3+ 🤣 we are crazy

We all are! I kept testing daily until 6 week, and I still do easy at home ones every 2-3 days to check if the line is there. 😅
Thanks, will update!
