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?

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 😆

I would guess so because there’s definitely a line there!!

Morning ladies, I have gone and freaked myself out… I think I am 24 DPO, so 5 weeks 3 days. Last night I had the most lovely moment at a wedding where my brother told me that he is expecting his first child, and of course I was shocked and said im
expecting too, and he was just so excited it was lovely! On Tuesday I did a clear blue digital which says 2-3 weeks…. This morning I have done another one expecting for it to say 3+ weeks… it doesn’t, it’s still 2-3. I have had MMC before so now I’m totally deflated. Other than those iv just been using cheapie strip tests which are really dark but I wouldn’t say any of them look any different now but maybe that’s because they have reached their darkest. Just wondered if anyone else had ever had similar and gone on to be ok. Thanks

With mine I left 6 days between tests and it showed the progression. Maybe you just tested again too soon. Wait till Monday or Tuesday and see how it looks then, and in the meantime don't stress.

Today I'm 6+5 and I've not woken up with any nausea for the first time in a week. It's actually my birthday today, maybe the baby is giving me a day off? 🤣

jelliebean9 · 14/06/2025 15:16

Can I ask what level you have to be for the GP to prescribe nausea meds or anti sickness meds? With my DS, we had Covid restrictions so I was put on paid leave in the first tri. I literally was lucky enough to never get out of bed. I’m worried this time as life with a toddler obvs means you can’t do any of the relaxing when you need it stuff. So just curious what happens if you can’t function because of first tri nastiness. I’m hoping obvs it doesn’t get to that level but I’m trying not to be naive!

@blooshbooni hope you’re doing a little better. Take care my lovely 🖤
@WildFinchhow are you doing?
@DownWithCremeEggsit’s still very early days!! What are you now…10dpo? The less sensitive tests/more diluted urine will definitely have an impact at this stage. You’ve had positives on multiple different brands - try not to let the goblins get in your head my lovely 🖤🖤
test again tomorrow with the same brands FMU, and hopefully you’ll get some reassurance.

as for me - no spotting in around 7 hours ✨✨ feeling a lot less spirally now.

Yeah, 9/10DPO so still very early. You're absolutely right, I'm just going to put the tests down for now 😆

Glad the spotting has slowed down now. Such a worrying time isn't it?

WildFinch · 14/06/2025 17:12

@Bas27 thanks for checking. I've been on an emotional rollercoaster. Scan was good! Measuring 7w+1 so almost bang on dates. Heartbeat and everything looks fine. Genuinely couldn't believe it I burst into tears. NPU appointment on Monday morning hopefully saying the same.
I still haven't filled in my midwife referral. There's definitely some self-protection happening by trying to distance myself from the pregnancy but feeling so much happier with this scan. Hopefully it continues!

Bas27 · 14/06/2025 18:07

@WildFinchI’m so glad for you! Maybe after Monday’s scan you can fill it out! 😂 our brains do the weirdest things. I’ve convinced myself I’m having a girl. We’ll see.

Joining because I'm excited and want to keep it a secret for a few weeks. Due AF tomorrow, been testing all week and even did a post a couple days back of my very faint line. Had people tell me they couldn't see a line so I did my clear blues today 🥳🥳🥳🥳

Due February 2026 ✨
CherryVicky · 14/06/2025 20:35

Joinng the Feb bus, due 19th Feb i believe. This will be baby #2. I'm now 3 days late on my period and tested positive yesterday. Had a rocky start with a positive test monday followed up with a fair few negatives so wasn't expecting yesterday's line (top test). Line today is much darker (bottom test). Also had a clear blue 1-2weeks pos today aswell 🥰 Only symptoms I've had so far is lower cramping, which I didn't have with DD.

I only did my midwife referral after my epu scan so was 7 weeks 3 days. And then it said there’s a 10 day delay at getting back to anyone lol so god knows when I’ll be going 🤣

Oh glad it's not just me! I'll do it if all looks good on Monday. Last time I did it I got my booking appt and scan date through really quickly although didn't need them in the end. We have an appointment at the recurrent miscarriage clinic coming up so I'll have to let them know too.

Thankyou! Yes very happy, having symptoms so soon is crazy to me even though I've had two children already, hope you are well also 🥰

That's great thankyou, I will join when I announce it publicly just in case someone sees haha

EnglishRain · 15/06/2025 06:17

Tentatively joining here. Must have had about five chemicals. One DC who is 4. Tested positive Friday. Obsessively testing and staring at lines. Can’t say I tested regularly with every chemical, but from what I remember, I don’t usually get lines this dark.

Feeling a bit crampy this morning which has gotten me stressed 😖 would also be due around 19 February…

Anonowl · 15/06/2025 08:17

Hey everyone,
Hard to keep up on here, Facebook is easier :-D
Just to say that I had a private scan yesterday, after a bad NHS scan on Wednesday. My scan showed everything measuring bang on my dates and a heartbeat.

I have absolutely zero pregnancy symptoms - even no tiredness. If that reassures anyone. Also had bleeding 4-5 weeks on and off xx

HannahTheBanana · 15/06/2025 09:52

@Anonowlthats great news! Congratulations! How far along are you? I also have zero symptoms… I’m going to book my scan for once I pass 8 week mark (currently 6w5d).

Anonowl · 15/06/2025 12:12

@HannahTheBanana thank you 🙂. I'm about 5 weeks 6 today. I knew so many women with no symptoms in my pregnancy group with my son. In fact, real morning sickness was pretty rare! Xx

Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate · 15/06/2025 13:43

Hi all! Sorry I've not read all the posts so far but congratulations on all the BFPs! This is me so far (yesterday at 12dpo). Got my first positive test on Wedneaday at 8dpo. Only tested expecting it to be stark white! Was rather shocked (but obviously pleased!) Haven't changed premom to pregnant or downloaded any baby apps as don't want to jynx 🫣 AF due Friday just gone. Had a CP last month so not sure whether to count start of LMP from the 19th May (early light bleeding) or the 20th, when it was more like a normal period?

DownWithCremeEggs · 15/06/2025 14:47

Well I'm pretty sure I'm having another chemical 😔 tests noticeably lighter than they were yesterday.

Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate · 15/06/2025 16:31

Oh @DownWithCremeEggsI'm sorry 😞 it's rubbish. Look after yourself x

DownWithCremeEggs · 15/06/2025 18:44

Hmm, now I'm not so sure as I just took an cheapie which are apparently less sensitive, and I feel like it's definitely positive?? Confused 😆 line appeared within a minute or so
