Hi!

Just thought i’d start a thread as I know a few of us have found out we are expecting! Would love to hear everyone’s stories to start us off as I know December feels soooo far away yet!

I’ll go first, I already have one child, he is 6 years old Smile Totally did not plan to have anymore once me and his dad split, I was one and done. However, years on met my current other half and I just knew straight away I had a change of heart. We started trying 18 months ago with negatives every month, later finding out there was infertility on both our sides. We moved in together January this year after deciding we would give IVF a try once we were settled in new GPs etc, only to find out we were pregnant! This came to an abrupt end 3 days later where we had what’s known as a chemical pregnancy. Absolutely heartbroken I had half given up, what were the chances we would fall pregnant again so soon after so long of nothing?

Well, here we are, after only 1 cycle later, pregnant again! Hopefully this time is different for us, it definetly feels different! Grin

Due December 2025

4 days late this was just now! I did get a vvvvvvfl about a week ago but convinced myself it was nothing. Have no children, freaking out a bit!!!

That’s a super dark line! Congrats xx

Hi everyone! Hoping I can join this thread, I tested positive yesterday (on Mother’s Day!) on a cb digital at 9DPO :) Not sure if that is quite early for a digital?
This will be our first time being pregnant following a chemical in January and seeing it in writing on the digital made it feel very real/exciting!

Feeling quite nervous as myself and husband have been put at risk of redundancy at our workplace this month, I’m sure we will figure things out but it all feels a bit daunting!! I know stressing out won’t help so trying to stay calm and not keep testing, things will work out!

What a lovely Mother’s Day present! Xx

Hi everyone!! After a devastating misc in November, I got my second positive again in March 🙏🏻 praying for this baby to stay.
I'll be 5 weeks tomorrow and due date is 3rd of December.
Had some different symptoms from the first pregnancy, feeling a lot more tired and drowsy, but still waking up at night to pee. My breasts this time are not too sore.
Wishing us all good luck and a healthy pregnancy ❤️

Hi lovely, sorry to hear about your previous loss. Congratulations 🎊 hope you're feeling ok xx

Hi everyone 👋🏼

Got a very faint positive yesterday after IVF. I have a 7yr old and 6yr old both DDs, so it will be interesting being back in the baby trenches with two who are both in primary school now!

I requested to join the WhatsApp group. I live in the UAE so it comes up as a foreign number.

expat321 · 02/04/2025 05:31

Forgot to say EDD 16th Dec!

CL05071998 · 02/04/2025 10:45

Hi all, suppose just looking for some advice really ❤️ 5 weeks one day today, have had spotting since Sunday, got some cheap boots test to check and the faintest line, still no major bleeding and can't get to doctor until next Friday so in total limb, but now read online that apparently those boots tests are basically useless, and people have tested on those and clear blue and have always got faint lines on the boots and dark lines on other brands. Thinking I may try a digital weeks test to give some reassurance or just to let me know either way.
Hope you are all feeling well and congrats to those who are just finding out x

AnonKat · 02/04/2025 11:02

I got my positive this morning after 4 years, so hoping it stays! It was pretty strong for 12dpo. So fingers crossed!

Nosejug · 02/04/2025 22:18

Oh goodness, 3.5 years trying with one miscarriage (and two failed rounds of ivf) I’ve just had a positive test this evening. I am in shock. My due date (according to the nhs calculator) will be my 40th birthday haha. I would be so happy if this embryo is healthy and I could give my birthday to someone else! I only had my lh peak last Thursday so I’m confused how it could already be positive, but two strips and a digital say yes.

MyLilacDeer · 02/04/2025 22:52

@CL05071998 I know exactly how you’re feeling - I have had some spotting too. Try not to panic. Do you know how many days past ovulation you are?

Nosejug · 02/04/2025 23:10

@CL05071998could you try give your EPU a call? Mine were so helpful when I had early spotting. They told me it can be totally normal and can be caused by a few things (like cervix softening or embryo burrowing deeper). They offered me an early scan too at around 6 weeks. Sadly it didn’t work out for me, but actually my pregnancy was still progressing fine while I was spotting, so it was normal. Have you tried a digital test? Maybe your dates are off and that’s why your tests aren’t strong. Wishing you good news.

We have the same due date :)

Also high risk pregnancy here too so very nervous!!

Nosejug · 04/04/2025 06:12

@expat321thanks and to you too! This one is spontaneous and deeply unexpected but obviously hoped for. We were meant to put down a huge payment on further treatment today (we got a massive loan for it) so it’s kind of doubly amazing if it works out! I’m going to be very cautious but have been given a reassurance scan at my epu on May 1st so I’ll set my sights on one goal at a time :)

what’s your history? Was this first try at ivf? Must feel amazing! I had two maximum and long protocol rounds as I have v low ovarian reserve but even though we got to transfer twice we never got past that. Just so grateful to have another shot!
