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?

Hi guys, tentatively joining as finally had a positive test yesterday (tested when period was a day late) symptoms wise my mood has been horrific 🙈 and headaches, and maybe I’m over thinking now but keep getting little niggles everywhere around abdomen/groin and boobs too… had a chemical last July and this is the first positive since so really hoping this one sticks xx

Congrats and welcome newbies!

I’ve got a consultation with Wild Nutrition on Monday about supplements because I’m still BFing so want to make sure I’m getting enough of the right bits, I will let you all know how I get on!

Has everyone started taking their Folic?

Folic acid and vitamin d for me, I don’t want to shell out for pregnancy multivitamins until I get a more positive positive 🤣

Totally agree with this! And last time I took the most expensive and ‘best’ vitamins going and they literally made me vomit (even more 🙄) and have the worst stomach cramps 🤣 so I’d be cautious with pregnancy and delicate stomachs and loads of prenatals again 🤪

The pregnacare ones are huge and really hard to swallow, they also taste rank so I think I’ll avoid! Might buy some omega tablets and just stick with what I’ve got to be honest 🤣

@Parttimepaulayes been taking folic for a few months as well as the together health pregnancy supplements so will continue with those. Also on a very low dose of metformin for pcos. I was offered progesterone by my fertility nurse today but actually decided to decline for now as currently no spotting and feeling strangely calm at the moment which is unlike me! Ahh yes if your feeding still that must make it tricky!

@Bas27 im on my own tonight and mine hasn’t gone to bed yet 😭 she had a late nap

Just tried to follow that link for the fb group but not sure it worked as it wouldn’t open in the app 🤔

I copied the link into notes on my phone and opened it from there which took me to the app. Trying the link in here kept taking me to Facebook desktop 🤣🫣

@LadyWhitehouse1oooh I will try that thankyou

Lord, I’d forgotten about those. The taste 🤮🤮🤮 I’ve literally got the bog standard folate (desperate to try anything to avoid another severely tongue tied newborn- story for another time 🤪) and basic vit d! I’m hoping that’ll be enough 🙏

Michelle292 · 06/06/2025 21:40

Hi girls.... 5w + 3d, noticed increase in CM today on and off when I wipe, any ideas? It's not that watery it's more thick than anything I would say. Panicking of course

MM013 · 06/06/2025 22:54

@Michelle292try not to read too much into it. As long as you don’t see any pink or blood, it’s all good. Wishing you a happy healthy pregnancy 💛💛

LadyWhitehouse1 · 07/06/2025 05:19

Morning ladies, I hope you’re all ok. I’ve been awake since 4am, insomnia has got me hard. On the plus side, yesterday I had a very very faint line and today it’s definitely (I think?) positive! Got some digital tests coming today so hopefully tomorrow I’ll see the word pregnant 😆

I have had presence in both of my previous pregnancies but only taken them very sporadically because they’ve made me feel worse when I’ve been very sick. I think partially because they’re so huge. I’m finding these gummies great - got them on Amazon subscribe and save. They’re not vegetarian and I am but decided to suck it up for bean.
@LadyWhitehouse1thats definitely progression. I don’t think there’s any denying that line!! ✨✨

Week 5 and I have no symptoms except sore boobs and nipples. Almost got a dye stealer today so I’m definitely pregnant, but I just wanna feel nauseous 😂 Looking forward to just feel like it’s more real 😂

I feel incredibly nauseous, I’ve managed half a banana so far this morning and that’s it 🤣

Aww I’m feeling so sorry for you 🥹❤️ maybe I should appreciate it while it lasts 😂

It’s a weird one because you want the symptoms to make you feel pregnant, but once you’re in the trenches with it, it really sucks 🤣

Fighting to the urge to test daily isn't going so well 🙈 definitely more clearer today than yesterday i think! Keep sticking baby 🤞🙏🌈❤️

Morning ladies, wide awake at 4.30 today…. Surely that can’t be starting already or is it excitement 😂 I haven’t done a digital test yet wondering about getting one today whilst I’m in town… are you guys going by just your last period date to calculate how far along you are? I did that originally and it dated me at 5 weeks, but then I found an app that you had to put in your cycle length too and it’s put me back to 4 weeks which is so annoying 😂
