Due February 2026 ✨

[Bas27]

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?

@CharlotteRaei had this a few weeks ago. In the end decided not to test again with that sort of test because it was too anxiety inducing. I found loads of people online that never got 3+ despite everything being fine. I know it’s really hard, but try not to worry.
@MO22thanks for the common sense. I do feel like I need talking down lol. I have already rechecked about 8 times in the last hour 😬😬

If you search on mumsnet there’s loads of threads about the weeks indicators! It could go either way, my friend was still getting 2-3 on the morning of her scan where she saw a perfect baby and a heartbeat. For me it was bad news to not get it on time so there is no way of knowing! I know exactly how you feel and the anxiety is horrible when the tests are progressing how you want!

I definitely don’t have hg, just normal morning sickness so I can’t imagine how shit you feel!! When’s your first scan?

@BGxxxi had my first scan last week and we saw the heartbeat. Measuring exactly on track with ovulation dates. They saw a bleed on the scan too, which I had with both my children but it never materialised as anything. I do have another scan booked for next weekend, so hopefully we can see then that everything is ok. But I’m just trying to hold on to logic and reason in the meantime!

@CharlotteRae ive mentioned it before. But my last pregnancy (which was pregnancy 5 but baby number 1) I never got a 3+ weeks on a clear blue; and she’s 20 months now so I would try not to worry.

I’m not splashing out on any tests this time other than my cheapie strips, which I’ve stopped using too.

I’m just trying to stay positive until the scan

Dye stealer? 🤔🥹

So ended up going to a&e last night after experiencing some sharp stitch like pains in my right upper abdo off and on throughout the day, and with my history of miscarriages the midwife advised I go be seen.

Bloods & urine checked

HCG 224 (4 weeks + 3) - this is highest I've ever had as first miscarriage levels were 100 and something befoee they started coming down. So this reassured me. Anyone else had similar levels at 4 weeks 3 days?

Turns out I have a UTI so antibiotics for that 🙈

No experience with HCG levels for me. But wow how reassuring is that test and your levels 😍😍

Is anyone else at the ‘the shower head makes your boobs HURT’ stage yet. Lordy that sh*t is painful 😂

Oh i definitely wouldn’t be concerned then if they saw the bleed on the scan! When I had mine they said it would normal to get some spotting when they’ve seen it

I had my bloods done at 15dpo and 17dpo this time because of my ectopic in February. They were 750 and then 2000. I did loads of googling and your result is definitely in the normal range! Mine seemed on the higher end but the range of normal is huge

It just dawned on my that I still had the original digital test so out of curiosity I opened it up…. So the top 2 are the old one from 4 days ago, bottom 2 are this mornings. It’s the left line on the double that shows the progression so hoping that’s looking ok as definitely darker although strange that the pregnant/not pregnant single line was darker on the original. Not going to worry though! No more digital for me 😂 Xx

looking for some reassurance regarding cramps- i didn’t have any with my first. i had some early last week when my period was due and then none , now 5+3 and having grumbling mild period like cramps. Is it normal for early pregnancy cramping to stop and start? Keep running to toilet to check no blood! X

I did this in my pregancy that i was concerned in, I still have the pics 🤣 the top is 2-3, bottom is 3+
It doesn’t look like you were too far off the 3+ on your last test

@BGxxxoooh they were nice and strong! Thanks for sharing, the things we do 😂 mine definitely aren’t as nice and dark as yours though! X

I have had quite severe cramps in every pregnancy, and everything has been fine. To the point where I’ve needed hot water bottles multiple times a day. And when people say “mild cramps normal” I think either their definition of mild is whack or I’m a massive wuss. Could be either 🤷🏻‍♀️ With my son it was so bad I went to the EPU

Oh gosh really, sorry that sounds horrible for you! okay good to know then though, i wasn’t really sure what is normal range. Can’t wait to have a scan don’t think i will not be anxious until i see a heart beat! X

I've caved and booked a private scan for this afternoon. NHS one is first thing Monday before work and I want to be prepared in case it is bad news. I'm 7 weeks today so I should see a heartbeat. Want to know either way now.

I know, pulling apart the test with a knife to get the strips inside out 🤣🤣🤣 this was actually my ectopic pregnancy, so even though they were dark it was obviously really bad news anyway so basically the lines don’t mean anything 🙄

Good luck for this afternoon! Hope this morning goes quick 🤣

I had exactly the same thing happen this week.

I tested last Wednesday (4+2) and got 2-3 weeks. Tested this Wednesday (5+2) and it still said 2-3 weeks so I had a lot of anxiety even though I know they're not very accurate.

I bought another pack and did it yesterday (5+4) and it said 3+ weeks, so it really is a very temperamental indicator!

Hi all. Driving myself mad 😆 so I've had several positive First Response tests, but a CB digital ultra early (the one with the red light on the end) was negative yesterday.

Took an Ovum test (another red dye but not as sensitive as an FR) and I feel like there's a definite second line. However, I then took another CB early test with second morning urine (stupidly threw away the first sample) and negative again. Is it just that the second urine was too diluted?

Argh 😆

Thank you everyone 😘

@jelliebean9very sore boobies, Im finding the tenderness is moving around a bit, and I keep poking them to make sure they're still sore 😅

@DownWithCremeEggs there does look like there is a line on this one for sure but it is quite thin hopefully its not an evap- i know some people say the frers can get them. i’m not sure if clear blue ultra early is as sensitive as the red dye tests though? Fingers crossed for you you get some progression tomorrow 🤞🤞🤞

I’ll also be bowing out of this forum now.

I hope all you ladies get everything you want and more. Take care and good luck everyone - and thank you for being here during my time 🤍

@MountainBunny oooh yes it must be a very rough estimate! Not sure if I will bother with another one, too scared haha

@WildFinchgood luck, hope it all goes well
