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?

@blooshboon not much more to add than to take care of yourself xx I completely understand where you coming from..

@AnonowlIthink I’m 6 weeks today, and yesterday I’ve noticed my heart rate being higher, started panicking (which doesn’t make it any lower 🥲). Then I read it can be one of the pregnancy symptoms, it completely freaked me out, it’s about 15 beats higher than usually. Did you know it’s something to expect??

Is anyone planning the NIPT scan? I had a Harmony test done at 9 weeks before (they’re not doing them anymore, I think…). I’m thinking about booking a reassurance scan just after 8 weeks (had a MMC at 8 weeks before) and then a NIPT scan at 10 weeks…

My heart rate has been higher since 8dpo when I got my first positive!

WildFinch · 10/06/2025 08:28

@HannahTheBanana my heart rate has been higher too. Which in turn makes my brain think we're anxious.
My symptoms have mostly disappeared and I have a feeling something isn't right. Has this with both my previous miscarriages. Definitely not helping with the anxiety. I've got a scan on Monday at EPU when I should be 7w2d but had a MMC last year so don't feel especially reassured by scans and no bleeding. Agh! How does anyone cope with the first trimester?!
I really hope everyone else is doing better this morning 🙏

I’ve been pants at keeping up with the thread. Sorry if I’ve not replied to people who have mentioned me. 🤦🏻‍♀️ finally got my dye stealer on a wondfo today! So it’s time to stop testing (25 Dpo) haha. Next weeks scan can’t come quick enough. Wish I wasn’t going on my own but I’d have to push it back a day and I really don’t want to wait longer if I don’t have too.

i got mine today on a PreMom at 20dpo. Despite saying I wasn’t going to test again 🤣 I really really need to stop it now! How many weeks will you be at your scan next week? I’ve got mine booked for the 5th July which should be 8+2 ish 🙏 feels like ages away still!

ThisDearCoralCat · 10/06/2025 12:31

Got a 3 + weeks on the clear blue digital today - I’m 5 weeks and 3 days , didn’t get this with my MM so hoping it’s a good sign 🙏🏻

CharlotteRae · 10/06/2025 12:35

@ThisDearCoralCatahh that must be a good feeling! I’m 5 weeks today ish and I did one this morning and it said 2-3 weeks… will do it again next week and pray it progresses I think

ThisDearCoralCat · 10/06/2025 12:52

@CharlotteRae thank you! Yes definitely but my god the nerves this time are intense ! Praying you get yours soon also x

Same! I did one this morning, 5+0 and it says 2-3 weeks. I’ll wait a few days and do another one. The cheapies are getting darker everyday though 🥰

CharlotteRae · 10/06/2025 13:01

@BerrieSweetahhh that’s good!! I feel like my cheapies are looking the same now…. Il show you… not sure if I should be worried..

Mine looks exactly like that as well! I think they’re getting darker 🥰🤭

BerrieSweet · 10/06/2025 13:13

Going on a spontaneous ultraearly scan today at 5+0 weeks just to see that the pregnancy is at the right place. It’s now at 15.00 so I hope I get some reassurance even if it’s extremely early 🤞🏼

CharlotteRae · 10/06/2025 13:20

@BerrieSweetahh let us know how it goes, reassuring if yours are looking similar x

Ooo let us know! Good luck xxxx

Here’s my dye stealer. Never had one before and only really posting it here because no one in real life knows (other than hubs) and I’m weirdly proud 😍

Can I please ask who you booked it with? I haven’t found anywhere that will scan before 6 weeks but I love to get a reassurance scan earlier!

jelliebean9 · 10/06/2025 15:24

Anyone else finding you need to eat basically all the time or you feel sick 😩 I’m gonna put on so much weight if I keep this up for 3 months 🤣

MM013 · 10/06/2025 15:25

@jelliebean9 that was me for a couple of days. Now I feel sick whether I eat or not, so just trying to eat normally.
PS - watermelon is my best friend - it doesn't suck when I feel pukish, it's mainly water and fills me up, and it satisfies my sweet cravings!

Mmc are horrible because it really makes you doubt everything doesn’t it🥲

WildFinch · 10/06/2025 15:36

@jelliebean9 I am craving carbs which similarly I don't want to eat non stop my BMI is already a bit higher than the healthy range 😔

@BGxxx thanks for replying. I've tried to put my logical pants on in the light of day, not me panicking at 4am. With my MMC my symptoms didn't change as my hormones didn't drop and with my MC they did drop and I started bleeding quite quickly. With no bleeding this time I'm hoping it's random fluctuations. Must also try to stop Googling. Hope you're doing ok!

Yes, same same same, my BMI is already overweight 🙄 and I’m a stone heavier than I was first time around! And generally unfitter and more tired 🤪 I had to have the gestational diabetes tests last time because of family history, so I can’t wait for that again 🤣

Dreamymama · 10/06/2025 16:15

Hi guys, due with my second one on 2.feb first one did come 2 weeks early lol, 23rd July is my first scan 🥰

ally62442 · 10/06/2025 16:29

@jelliebean9 it’s hard not to test when I still have lots left. But I’m deffo going to stop now! 🤣 I’ll be 7 weeks exactly. My scan is on Tuesday first thing so at least I don’t have to wait all day.

ally62442 · 10/06/2025 16:34

@Dreamymama same due date as me all 3 of my boys came one to two weeks early via an induction so I’m thinking i might end up with a January baby.
