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?

Hiya tentatively joining after ttc no 2. 9 cycles, chemical in september. App says am 4+ 4d Got a bfp on weds day my period was due and now feeling incredibly anxious going to lose it again- im panicking at various times in day as symptoms seem to come and go. I found out much later with my first so had none of this symptom watching / line progression first time! i feel like they look okay though ? 🤞🤞 anyone else in same boat feeling super anxious? Xx

Line progression looks amazing! Congratulations 🩷 anxiety is definitely super normal. Feel free to vent anxieties on here as much as you need. We’ll always listen 😊

I got my 2-3 weeks on clear blue today! Which is exactly right as I’m 4+4! So that’s me officially done testing. I’m not going to do anymore purely because I know I’ll obsess. I’d love to see 3+ on the weeks indicator but I know they’re massive inaccurate and can cause a lot of anxiety if the weeks don’t change when they should. Out of curiosity, who has got a 3+ on a weeks test and how many weeks did you get it?

@jelliebean9 thank you i think i will feel better once past 5 weeks as thats when the chemical started to fade for me!
i actually have a weeks test on way from amazon today to do later and ive saved my FMU to do it with - i was thinking id still get 1-2 weeks on it as exactly 14 days since ovulation for me but will see later!

Yes I’m the same as you, I didn’t make it to 5 weeks last month with my chemical. So this week is very hard and it’s especially hard at this point because no one knows in real life! So glad to have this space! Sounds right for the weeks indicator for you too. Let me know when you do it 🙏

With this pregnancy 18dpo, with my daughter I didn’t do one until 21dpo in case it didn’t come up and I’d get upset 🤣

With my last pregnancy I never got a 3+ on a test. By my LO is here and totally fine

Bas27 · 08/06/2025 08:34

Welcome @Floralcat✨ everything crossed for you my lovely.
I have two
older children - DS who is 6 (will be 7 by EDD) and DD who is 4 in October. They’re my little crew and I am also worried about the balance with a 3rd but DD especially is desperate for a little sibling. I’ve just felt that our family isn’t complete. There’s someone missing!

Morning all, I disappeared for a bit but I think I’ve caught up! Congratulations to everyone joining!

I am STRUGGLING! I don’t remember being this sick with my DD so early on!

6+3 today with an early scan booked for 20th June 🤞

Anonowl · 08/06/2025 10:00

Hey @Floralcat I'm pretty anxious as this is my 9th pregnancy.
With watching test lines, it's better to work out what DPO you are. As everyone can be similar from LMP, but some ovulate earlier or later. So would have lighter or darker lines depending where they were in the cycle.

I'm 20PO and here's my Wandfo from today at the bottom, others are 2 days apart. They take a while to progress. (Not that I know if this is a go-er yet!) Xx

CharlotteRae · 08/06/2025 11:27

19 DPO, do you think these look dark enough? Had a chemical and a MMC before and can’t remember them ever getting this dark so really hoping this is a positive sign. No major symptoms yet other than my mood is vile 🙈

Due February 2026 ✨
LadyWhitehouse1 · 08/06/2025 11:29

They are definitely progressing so I would say so! I’m not getting dark lines with those tests at all but I’m getting positive on the digital ones. I have no idea how many dpo I am though 🫣

I’m feeling so sick and have been sick the last few days! I was like this with my little girl though

CharlotteRae · 08/06/2025 12:15

@LadyWhitehouse1 ahhh I think I’m going to stop testing now, it’s so easy to obsess! If you weren’t tracking ovulation then who knows 😂 will you have an early scan before 12 weeks?

@Anonowl they are def getting darker, looking good so far!

MM013 · 08/06/2025 12:16

Hey! Has anyone had an early scan at 7 weeks? Thinking of having one next weekend. I will be 7w1d.
thanks.

Wednesdayonline · 08/06/2025 12:48

Anyone else a first time mum? :)

MM013 · 08/06/2025 12:49

@Wednesdayonlineme ! First time human mum. Got 2 lovely doggies who can’t wait to have a human sibling.

Wednesdayonline · 08/06/2025 12:52

@MM013 ah I've got a golden retriever and recently got a cat! Cat is definitely going to be shocked with a new addition, the golden will be overjoyed 😆

MM013 · 08/06/2025 12:54

@Wednesdayonlinemy mum got a golden before she had me, and Tara was my guardian angel. She slept under my crib and never strayed too far. When I learnt to stand up it was holding her. When I took my first steps, it was again while holding her. We were best friends and I’m so thrilled your little will have the joy of being a golden’s little human 🥰

Aw I grew up with a Golden from birth. I loved her so much. She was the best nanna dog honestly!

my cat hates my child, did from the minute we brought her home. It’s been a tough 19months for them both tbh

MM013 · 08/06/2025 13:17

@Parttimepaulaaww! She sounds lovely.
your poor cat though. Hopefully as your little one gets older they will start to get on better

Tbf she was not a ‘nice’ cat ever but I didn’t mind, she loved me! But it was definitely the toughest transition for us!
luckily this time it should be less hard because she’s already used to it I guess

CharlotteRae · 08/06/2025 13:20

@LadyWhitehouse1 that’s so weird im booked for my scan on the 26th June aswell! Should be 6/7 weeks 😍

laurajane07 · 08/06/2025 13:46

@Wednesdayonlinei will be 🤞☺️
