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?

@PopsiCola I'm so sorry for your loss :( but congratulations for this one!

Fayra · 30/05/2025 02:24

Hi, hope it's ok to join!

I got a faint bfp on Monday which has been getting a bit darker each day since. Also had a positive digi test yesterday. EDD is 7th feb! We've been trying since the start of the year but didn't really 'try' much this month so was so surprised that this was our month!

Symptoms so far have been slightly sore boobs, some cramping and feeling hungrier. I also struggle to sleep during pregnancy and that seems to have kicked in the last few days too (hence my middle of the night posting!).
I've also had HG in my previous pregnancies so fully expecting that to kick in again in the next couple of weeks. I'm enjoying feeling well for the time being!

Only DP knows at the moment so it's lovely to share here! I'll join the FB group later today too 😊

Bas27 · 30/05/2025 05:53

Welcome @PopsiCola🤞🏻🤞🏻for you. I think that’s a great way of looking at it. I need to try and have this mindset!!

welcome @Fayraoh no for the insomnia! 😬 you’d have thought it would have held off a bit!
when has your hg kicked in previously?
I’m expecting some time in the next week or so for me (but still hoping it never arrives)

Morning all can anyone repost the link for the fb page. 😊

Fayra · 30/05/2025 07:10

@Bas27 I knowww, the insomnia doesn't usually start until much later for me but I've been struggling with sleep this week. Maybe it's just nerves at the moment and counting down to that first scan!

HG normally starts around 5-6 weeks for me, although I got all the way to 7 weeks last time and thought I might have escaped it but nope! 😂 What about you? Have you found anything that helps you at all previously?

GiraffeMumma · 30/05/2025 08:10

Very unexpected 3rd pregnancy here. Just wanting the one step lines to get darker. (Im somewhere between 13-17dpo- i must have ovulated much earlier than i thought because the morning after pill didn't work after a condom accident!)
I am a bit of a fish and drink alot of water so im hoping thats maybe why the lines are so light at the moment. The clear blue tests are pretty clear! Trying to wait until Monday to do a digital and then i am well past expected period start.. (should be today)
The previous two pregnancy's were straightforward and very clear tests. I just have a little voice in my head telling me to keep testing as it's so light on the one step..
I couldn't get any first response tests in my local boots or superdrug so it one step or nothing at the moment.

Hello new people, congratulations 🥰

My symptoms have also been hunger and not being able to stay asleep at night. Seem too alert.

CD34 today so either 1 day before or after or around missed period. So 4 weeks-ish. LOADS of EWCM this morning tinged with the tiniest bit of brown. I know it’s normal but I’d rather not see anything like that obv. Did have sex last night but I’d expect that to be red. Can it be a little bit left from implantation if I’m as far as 13dpo and have already had a 1-2 weeks digi?

Congratulations! If these are the cheapie tests from Amazon - the line progression on these is slooooow… I was a little worried because my cheapie tests were all very faint and then I read the reviews that they are not so sensitive as they claim to be!

Hello all, I’m straddling the January and February thread as my EDD is 31st Jan (I’m 4+6 today). I’ve had these tests last night and this morning and finally starting to believe this pregnancy might just go ok 🤞 (obviously still going to take things day by day…)

Got a positive this morning at either 10 or 11DPO.

Hi @EmPeEf, firstly congratulations!! I am also in the same boat with the teeniest bit of brown in my ewcm which has me a bit worried. No cramps or anything, and I got a very dark cheapie plus 2-3 on a digital at 4+2 so hoping all is well. DH is reassuring me that it can be normal but it's so easy to worry isn't it x

I had this brownish discharge a few times in my last pregnancy (early on, around my missed period and then at 8 weeks)… I had the same this time around too… still a bit worried, obviously super natural to worry… I did the digital test yesterday and it progressed to 2-3 weeks so hopefully all is well

Thank you for sharing @HannahTheBanana, I found this reassuring ❤️

EmPeEf · 30/05/2025 11:46

I tested using a Tesco brand as I’m bleeding quite a bit more now.

Super faint lines, barely there. Anyone used these tests before?

Nausea and a bit of abdominal discomfort.

Sorry to hear this @EmPeEf, and never used those tests I'm afraid. I would say best to check with the same ones you've been using till now so you can see the difference. I hope everything is okay

HellsBellsTrudy · 30/05/2025 12:17

Hope you’re okay @EmPeEf ! ❤️
How many DPO are you now? I’ve used those tests and as they’re cheap and I think they only read 25mil (or whatever the measurement is!) they’re not the darkest.

EmPeEf · 30/05/2025 12:33

Bleeding seems more intensely red. Went and bought the same test I did yesterday afternoon. Don’t think it’s looking good at this point 😞 top pic is yesterday. Bottom is today.

HellsBellsTrudy · 30/05/2025 12:58

So sorry @EmPeEf are you testing in the afternoon now? Could it be too diluted?

If you’re bleeding heavily or like a period you could try the EPU but I’m not sure if they see you so early?

Sending so much love and hope X

My test yesterday was at 5pm yesterday but no idea how much hold I had and my sleep cycles are messed up so could have been a FMU or SMU lol. I’d already tested just before today on some Tesco own brand and got faint lines but apparently they suck.

It’s just a sucky waiting game now to see how the bleeding progresses. No cramps and feel nauseous. I’d referred myself to the midwives already as my hypothyroidism needs checking, and I have a GP appointment Monday morning to have blood taken. I’m assuming I’ll know more by then seeing how the weekend goes. 😩 If the bleeding slows down maybe I’ll do another digital on Sunday or something.

@Fayrano it’s been pretty grim for me before. I think it started at around 6 weeks with my son and around 5 with my daughter. Expecting it soon. 😬
Welcome @GiraffeMumma - I think this looks good - there’s only a couple of days between the first and last tests and it’s definitely gotten darker.
welcome @curliegirliepositivity has got to be the way!
welcome @MountainBunny!

@EmPeEfthinking of you! I hope you get some answers soon 🖤 keep us updated xxx

hi everyone, I am currently 4 weeks and 3 days and wondering if anyone else is experiencing one-sided discomfort — it’s like a dull ache, nothing sharp or severe, just noticeable. The more I think about it, the more I seem to feel it! I had a look back at my notes from my previous pregnancy and noticed I had the same thing around this time back then too, so trying not to overthink it. Just curious if others are feeling something similar?

Thanks in advance 💛

They are the cheap ones. Im a bit of an addict at testing until im 100%.

Bit of a headache this afternoon and im so hot! 🥵

Taking them all as positive signs as no period yet!

BerrieSweet · 30/05/2025 16:36

Ho everyone! Got my vvf positive today and wondering when you think I will get a positive on Clearblue Ultra Early Digital? What’s your experience?🥹❤️ 10 DPO today

Yes me yesterday slightly on right side low down like a stab that lasted just a second but on and off throughout the day. Not too bad today, just the odd jolt of it. I was panicking thinking about ectopic currently no other symptoms so hopefully it's nothing 🙏

Hope your OK @EmPeEf
