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?

Only 8DPO today, haven't been tracking much at all this cycle as I've been poorly with the flu (but I think I'm about 8DPO). Am I crazy, or is there a line on both??

Due February 2026 ✨

@BGxxxthey both predicted the same ovulation date so you’d think they’d both have the same weeks calculations.
when I go on the pregnancy tab on NC, it says “Week 6” which is weird because the main dashboard says 5+5. Maybe it means I’ve completed 5 weeks and I’m 5 days into the 6th week. And I’m just reading it differently. If that’s the case, then Flo & NC have only a 1 day difference because Flo says 6 weeks 4 days.

I think natural cycles does say you’re in the 6th week even though you’re really only in the 5th! It’s confusing. Just count back to the date you ovulated and add 2 weeks on and you can’t go wrong with booking your scan

Definitely a line!

I updated on the Facebook group but for anyone not on there yet, I had my epu reassurance scan because of my ectopic in feb. Measuring 3 days ahead, everything looked good and saw the heartbeat! So I’m 7 weeks 3 days based off that

MM013 · 12/06/2025 15:43

@BGxxxthank you!! That’s really helpful

Hello joining the Feb 2026.. have had a chemical 2023 ectopic 2024 and then 3 chemicals so far 2025.. this one was such a shock as I was about to go to theatre for surgery and they came back with the news we tested positive on their hcg urine test ! Got blood work done and reoccurring miscarriage unit has given me baby aspirin and progesterone to take. My last period was 22/5/25 I've Endo and Adneo and it was a really bad period only lasted 3 days.. so I think I might of ovulated really early this cycle. My cycle can be anywhere from 24days - 30 days. So I don't know how long we are gone. We are having a reassurance scan at week 7 by lmp. Congratulations all ♥️

2Sugars2 · 12/06/2025 17:05

Hello..... tentatively joining got a faint positive yesterday and today. Think I am 12dpo today. Still can't believe that I can write that 🥹 what a journey it's been already.. my partner had a vasectomy reversal in March and whilst we were hopeful we never imagined it would happen this quick for us ❤️
This is my first time as well so all very overwhelming. I'm not sure what I should even be doing at this point. Any pointers, help or guidance would be appreciated. Wishing you all happy and healthy pregnancies and babies ✨🫶🏼

is anyone else dealing with the worst taste in their mouth? The only way i can compare it is the kind of bitter after taste to a diaolyte satchet or berocca - doesnt seem metallic to me. didnt have this with my first and wondering how long it lasts for hopefully just first trimester 🙈

Tofu35 · 12/06/2025 19:22

Ooft that's the nausea starting 🤢

jelliebean9 · 12/06/2025 19:35

Anyone else around 5ish weeks and not really feeling anything other than PMS-y yet? I definitely felt worse already with my first, I know they’re all different and I’ve no reason to think it’s a negative when I know symptoms can come and go and not show until after week 6 for some!

A2025 · 12/06/2025 20:02

@jelliebean9 I am just 5 weeks today and have nothing really only a bit of cramping every now and then and slightly sore boobs since yesterday. Waves of slight nausea an odd time but it only lasts a few minutes. I won’t mind if the morning sickness stays away.🫣😂

5-6wks here and i have the odd bit of nausea but not a lot. My main symptom is my boobs- they're huge already and my sense of smell. I swear i can smell people's houses from outside them. 🤣

Parttimepaula · 12/06/2025 20:11

Hey newbies!! Nice to see some layer due dates coming through!!

hope everyone’s ok! I’m struggling with some fairly major anxiety brought on by a neighbourhood dispute atm, it’s affecting me so much more than it would pre-preg! Not anxiety about the baby though, just everything else in life!

I’m 5 weeks tomorrow, have incredibly sore and swollen boobs, period type cramps on and off and mostly nausea in the morning. I’m also constipated with really smelly wind, my poor family 🤣🫣

Bas27 · 12/06/2025 20:31

I’ve had symptoms getting worse.
first one was smell, then extreme fatigue before lmp.
Had nausea since about 4 weeks, been getting increasingly worse. Now on cyclizine.
boobs started to hurt about 5.5 weeks.
i think im showing already!! At not even 7 weeks!! 😬😬😬😬

Oh my god. The wind. Yes. I’m like a human whoopee cushion (though thankfully not smelly like you 😂😂😂😂😂😂)!

I’m with you on the showing already 😆 remind me if this is your first or second? This will be my second and I hid it until about 18 weeks first time. I genuinely think I’ll show by 8 weeks where I’m fatter than my first and floppy already 😅

A2025 · 12/06/2025 20:49

Oh yes, I forgot to mention the wind.😂

My 3rd! My friend did it’s like a ballooon that’s been blown up before. Stretches more easily. I’ve been so paranoid and my mother hasn’t helped. She said to me on Wednesday “I’m not being funny but don’t wear that dress again”

MO22 · 12/06/2025 21:53

I am genuinely so huge with the bloat, I know it can't be real but it's mad how big I look! I want to keep it from work until I can secure a pay rise/promo and summer is not a great time to be wearing baggy jumpers! Hoping it calms down soon... Is it the progesterone that does it??

Parttimepaula · 12/06/2025 22:26

I only started a new job in April. My uniform is still on order and I’m worried it won’t fit when it arrives!
God only knows how I’m going to tell them!
