Tentatively making this bus, as I don’t think there is one yet. Got the start of my BFP yesterday, and I can see the line developing today. Going to continue to test until AF is due. So far due 2nd Feb 😬 Anyone with me?

Welcome to anyone joining today - @firsttimemom99x@Mouche85 @MM013 and anyone else I’ve missed!!
Hope all goes well tomorrow @blooshboon. Is there something you can do tonight to try and take your mind off it?
I feel like I’m losing it at times waiting for my early scan next week. Keep having to just not let myself think about it and try and distract myself.
Thats going ok so far, especially being distracted by my older 2! DD1(3) currently doing handstands in bed and fidgeting. Anything to avoid sleep. 😵‍💫
Told my mum. She didn’t take it well. I think more based on her own experiences of having three. But she didn’t congratulate me, and seemed outwardly upset at the idea. Then apologised later for upsetting me. Still nothing positive to say though. My dad (almost to make up for it) was a sweetie. Feeling a bit shit since that though.

Hi lovely, yeah I’ve been trying to stay distracted after googling and reading about ectopic, which I shouldn’t do at all because I am partial to health anxiety. And since then my shoulder has suspiciously started hurting….

just roll on 11.40 because I’d just like to know, you know? If it’s bad news I’d rather just find out asap to deal with it.

I also have DD (6) who’s currently running around asking me to play games with her on the PlayStation lol.

My shoulder didn’t hurt until I’d been internally bleeding for 15 hours so I really wouldn’t worry about the shoulder pain! Even if it is ectopic I don’t think it causes you any pain in your shoulder unless is ruptured. I think the more you read the more you convince yourself you have the symptoms

PopsiCola · 03/06/2025 20:45

@blooshboon oh it’s really hard. I am in the same boat. I’ve had a previous ectopic and I’m getting pain in the same spot. I did get one sided pains with my last 2 pregnancies and they weren’t ectopic but I’m still not reassured! I have a scan tomorrow morning too. So glad they could see me but I’ll only be just over 4 so not sure they’ll see much. It’s such a stressful time!

I’m hoping being 5.5 even if dates are >5 days I’m hoping they’ll atleast be able to see something in the right place x

Yeah this is 100% what I do also, I can convince myself of all sorts. And i have had no bleeding so far, so i’m hoping thats a good sign too.

Really want to test this morning with FMU but my LO is having a lie in on boob so I daren’t move.
Anyone else currently breastfeeding?

jelliebean9 · 04/06/2025 07:40

Today’s line progression. I’d expect my period today! This is the last day I’ll do tests now I think. Apart from my clear blue weeks one that I’ll do at the weekend. Now it’s time to just hope and pray 🙏
what is everyone’s symptoms? And how far along are you?
I’m about 4 weeks and not really feeling much of anything! Very different from pregnancy no1 with DS 😊

Due February 2026 ✨

Awe 🥹 I miss those days so much. I weaned DS at 2.5, he’s now 3.5 and I still miss it!

Parttimepaula · 04/06/2025 08:14

My toddler is up. Test done, and finally got a line I can’t argue!
I won’t test again now until the weekend (I’ve told DP we’ll test together then)
but it’s definitely a bit more real now!

must be supplement shopping time!

@Parttimepaula I was still breastfeeding my little one until Feb, I stopped when I had the ectopic because my periods were all over and I really wanted to concieve again. She was 18 months and I was actually quite fed up of it by then🤣

@jelliebean9 im 5w6d today! I’ve just got no appetite at all, I’ve lost 5lb since finding out I’m pregnant! I haven’t been sick, just feel sick whenever I do eat anything

A2025 · 04/06/2025 08:26

@jelliebean9 I’m 4 weeks tomorrow too I think! I haven’t had many symptoms yet at all. An occasional twitch and have had some nausea but it only lasts a few mins. I know something is going on there though?! Had cramping Friday night and got positive test the next morning!

Totally get that! I was planning on weaning at 2 but I think I’ll see how she goes whilst I’m pregnant, she may self wean if I dry up.
I hadn’t planned on random feeding but we shall see

SHD614012 · 04/06/2025 08:34

Finally got my first dye stealer at 15dpo which has made me feel less anxious! I’ve been testing every day since I found out so I’m going to stop now

Congratulations to everyone who has just got their positives!

Good luck @blooshboonI hope everything goes okay for you!

Me too! If I hadn’t conceived by the time she was 2 I was going to wean although I bet I would of carried on 🤣

Parttimepaula · 04/06/2025 08:41

Good luck today @blooshboon!!

blooshboon · 04/06/2025 08:43

Thanks guys. Didn’t sleep much last night, got a banging migraine too, pain is still there was hoping it would’ve disappeared through the night.

DH can’t come today either which has riddled me with anxiety too. Hearts been racing all day and my typical anxiety symptoms have kicked up ( numb arm and face ).

can we just skip to 11.40 please lol.

@Parttimepaulathanks lovely. She’s honestly a complicated woman so I’m (trying very hard) not taking it personally.
@blooshboondr Google is not your friend!! I hope everything goes well ell today - make sure to let us know!

@BGxxxalso feeling nauseous and off food but having to take high dose steroids at the moment so also bloated and blegh.

@Bas27 I am waiting to tell my mum but i have a feeling she will have a similar reaction.. we have a strained relationship and she's not one to hold back on her opinion. She was very vocal when i had two boys to my brother about giving her a "pink one".
My mother in law is an absolute angel and i know she's going to be over the moon about another grandchild although she will call us bonkers when she gets over the shock. (we were quite happy with the 2 boys now 8yrs and 5yrs)

@Parttimepaulayes I’m still breastfeeding my 2.5yo but not very much now. I cut down and then night weaned to TTC after not having much luck early on. First cycle after I night weaned I got the BFP! Now she just has one feed before bed and I’m glad we got to keep that

I’m also still breastfeeding my almost 2 year old. How are you finding it so far in this pregnancy? I’m hoping my milk wont go completely during the pregnancy but I’ve heard it’s likely.

We seem soooo far away from weaning 😅
@MummaBear18291 I’m really hoping I don’t dry up completely!

so sorry your mum reacted that way… it’s hard, especially when you need the support! Hope she will quickly turn around though!!
our first pregnancy was a MMC so when we told my MIL about the second pregnancy she just said “oh, I thought you’d try again” 😕 Won’t be telling her this time around until later, my DH is already worried that she will say something silly. It is what it is, right?

Good luck!! Hope it’s all good 🤞🤞🤞 I looked back at my notes when I went to EPU last time at 5 weeks and 2 days due to the ovary, or one sided pain and spotting and they could see the sac and yolk sac, but no embryo yet at that time, it was a bit too early. Take care!
