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?

Oh wow those tests look great @BGxxx !

I fell into the trap of comparing my tests this morning but think they look okay for 11DPO! Top is yesterday.

I'm only 4dpo so far too early to test but I'm going to just mill around in the hopes my IUI worked.

I had two big follicles so fingers crossed one of them sticks!

Thank you @Bas27, and hello everyone! This is our first pregnancy so very exciting! Digital BFP last night, and my superdrug early tests and cheapies are getting darker so I'm feeling optimistic. AF due Monday however so it'll be nice to reach next week! So far I don't have many symptoms, although a couple twinges in my lower back today. What made me test was me getting a cold sore (usually only ever get them when on my period so a few days after ovulation was very strange!) and some mood swings when I'm generally pretty chill 😅 I've also noticed my hair falling out a bit more when washing, and it getting greasier so much quicker! Normally wash my hair 3-4 times a week but feel like I need to every day atm which is not fun. What a strange one haha

This is so boring but some of my easy@home are a different batch from the same box. Like the packet and the look of the test is so different and some of them give much darker results than the other 🤣 I had the same with my first and crapped myself because I thought they were lighter

Mine are the exact same! Funny isn't it, defo frer look much nicer 😁
This evening I have strong enough period type pain, and a little bit of loose stool so hoping it's implantation and not the opposite 🙏

Hi Ladies.

Just jumping on here until I can confirm whether I’m having a Jan or Feb baby.

Tested positive today at 12dpo. Period has me due on Jan 30th, but I have 30 day cycles, so it may become early Feb once I get my dating scan.

baby 6 here! 🙈

12 days for me too! Wow is this baby number 6? That's amazing. Any particular symptoms? I'm being told on my ovia app it's feb 3rd but still being super cautious and afraid to get my hopes up

CatsCoffeeChocolate · 23/05/2025 22:37

@Michelle292 Yeah, we are a big family. We practically have a zoo as well tbh. 🙈😅
I just have a dull ache like I’ve over exercised in my lower abdomen. I don’t get symptoms like sore breasts or anything until the third trimester.
I do however get really bag HG. Starts around 7 weeks and lasts throughout the whole pregnancy. 😢 I’ve also had a hip problems with the last two, but I can’t remember the name for it.
What about yourself?

Michelle292 · 23/05/2025 22:57

@CatsCoffeeChocolate that's lovely 🥰 my girl is almost 5 and she would love a sibling. Had a loss at 8weeks last October so I'm very nervous... didn't have much symptoms at all so far but yesterday I had groin and Lower back ache and today for about an hour I had period type cramps and some loose stool but it's settled again so praying this sticks 🙏

CatsCoffeeChocolate · 23/05/2025 23:07

@Michelle292 yes I know the cramps and twinges you speak of too well. With my very first I panicked and took myself to hospital 😅

I find it hard not to worry about viability as well. Even with the kids I have, I am always a paranoid wreck until I see the scan, and even then, I don’t feel secure until the 20week mark.
I would say though, I find that living in hopes and dreams is best. I try to push the worry aside and get myself excited regardless. I buy an outfit as soon as I can after I’ve found out. Then again after every scan. I just start creating exciting moments and memories straight away because I think that the endorphins must be beneficial to the baby and helping it stick. So just keep busy and be optimistic. (Easier said that done, I KNOW 😅)

If the worst happens, it would not have been preventable this early anyways, so don’t let the worry and anxiety ruin this special time for you and the family.
Sending you my best wishes for your little bubba 💕

Michelle292 · 23/05/2025 23:10

That's so true and such a lovely way to look at it thank you so much! Definately going to try adapt some of that attitude!
Best wishes to you also❤️

Bas27 · 24/05/2025 03:48

@Michelle292how are you doing re cramps? I’ve had these in all my pregnancies and it’s never meant anything bad - I think there are a lot of different reasons for it so it’s hard to not worry though!
hi @CatsCoffeeChocolate- welcome! I don’t think it matters too much to be honest 🤷🏻‍♀️ I know I will have a c section for medical reasons so that will be at 39 weeks and I’m due in the second. Technically a January baby 🤷🏻‍♀️ those are some very good lines for 12dpo!!!
I love your beautiful outlook. 🖤

CatsCoffeeChocolate · 24/05/2025 08:46

Hi all! I just got my bfp 2 days ago at 8 dpo.. early I know! I would be due 4th February. It was a v faint line and today got a stronger line on clear blue. I did have a streak of blood when I wiped this morning but having tons of pregnancy symptoms so we’ll see. I have a 3 year old and had a mc at 8 weeks in December so I’m praying this one sticks! Is there a Facebook group we can join yet?

In case useful for anyone, my main symptoms for this pregnancy are almost contant heavy and sharp twinge/pulling feeling in uterus area, tiredness, v thirsty, v sore boobs. I’ve never had this much twinging with either of my two previous pregnancies!

Welcome @quindogg and @Michelle292 and anyone else I’ve missed!

My main symptom now is feeling like I’ve been doing stomach crunches with was the same with my DD, which I assure you I have not 😂

I had a wobble and went out and bought loads of tests after not testing this morning and I’m glad I did cos it’s made me feel more confident, got this at 12DPO with afternoon wee! I had a chemical before my DD so I’m also nervy!

Amazing! Weirdly I’m getting stronger lines with afternoon tests than fmu!

LavenderHaze04 · 24/05/2025 14:03

@quindoggi'm the same! My early evening tests are stronger than fmu 😅

HellsBellsTrudy · 25/05/2025 09:43

I got my 2-3 weeks digital this morning so feeling glad about that, should be about 4 weeks +3 days. Still feels surreal!

My symptoms are mainly tiredness and some cramps, feel less pregnant than I did with my DD but I think that’s just cos I don’t have time to sit and think about it because I’m running around after her 😂

4w5d today, and constantly stressed about this sticking! I'm really not enjoying not being able to know if it'll take or not. Is anyone else stressing or just me? 😅

These are my lines today which are 17dpo- are these okay? I've had slow but steady line darkening, everyone else seems to have really dark lines way earlier than this! My lines darkened properly yesterday 16dpo, 14dpo was a very obvious line, and 11dpo was first very faint positive.

@Wednesdayonline Those lines look lovely! And I know it’s hard but as long as they’re there and not getting lighter they can’t really tell us much other than you are pregnant! Try to focus on this positives as much as you can but I understand the worry! ❤️
Is this your first?

Wednesdayonline · 25/05/2025 10:15

@HellsBellsTrudy thank you! These were my last tests and me and my husband have agreed I won't buy more because it's just adding to stress and like you say, can't tell us much! This is my first, it's been a long road because I have lean PCOS but thankfully conceived naturally after using supplements. I think knowing that PCOS has higher miscarriage rates and I might have crappy egg quality has made it hard to have a positive mindset this early on :/

HellsBellsTrudy · 25/05/2025 10:46

I have PCOS too! And my supplements helped me get pregnant with me DD and this one after my cycles went west again after stopping breastfeeding! ❤️
