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?

Thanks @Bas27 ! Feeling good so far. Felt a bit sick yesterday and had light cramping Friday night. Didn’t expect to feel sick so soon? Maybe it was the shock.😂 Really didn’t expect it to happen so soon! Feeling good today. How are you doing?

Hi all and congratulations to all of you who are also due in February!!

This is my first pregnancy so both nervous and excited about what to expect, I got my positive digital at 8/9 dpo which I was very surprised as it was so early, the line has continued to progress well since! By calculations so far I am due Feb 8th

Due February 2026 ✨

Hi all! I got a BFP yesterday morning, trying not to get too excited but it’s hard, DH isn’t helping! Congratulations to everyone :)

jelliebean9 · 02/06/2025 07:55

Morning everyone. I’m 12dpo and cycle 6 TTC no2. Been getting positives since 9dpo. But now the lines are good and strong, I’m going to join in here and hope for the best. Had a chemical last cycle! So I’m a bit cautious at this point.

So happy to be in this thread with you! 😍

Should be 5+4 according to flo app.

noticed a lot of my symptoms had gone and just left with a dull ache on the one side ( which I had with last months chemical ) so took a digital today, which came back as 2-3, same as Fridays.

but got a dye stealer on the rapid detection tests 🥹🥹

@blooshboon2-3 sounds about right for 5+4. I’m 5+2, got my first BFP at 9dpo, and by my calcs (doubling of HCG every 48hours) I should hit the 3+ threshold (2750miu) on Thursday or Friday, so trying to hold out until then!

This makes me feel better because at 5weeks and 5 days I got 2-3 weeks on the Clearblue test. I'm now a week ahead and just nervous to be honest.

blooshboon · 02/06/2025 10:48

@Sunshine1621@curliegirlie

I am sure we’ll all be okay, I had a chemical last month so I’ve been super nervous. I have an early reassurance booked in for 14th June and had our dating scan for 18th July.

Lets have those Aquarius babies 🤍

blooshboon · 02/06/2025 10:49

Also I have no idea how many DPO I am, me and DH dtd literally once last month and I couldn’t even tell you when that was, life has been to crazy

Sunshine1621 · 02/06/2025 11:07

Thanks for the encouragement ! Absolutely let's have our perfect baby's 😊

GiraffeMumma · 02/06/2025 11:20

I am so hot!! I have been the past few days and I'm like is that pregnancy related or im just hot. 🤣
The tender boobs have started too.
(Prior to the bfp i was on a fitness and weight loss journey so doing my measurements yesterday - cms in all measurements except chest. Boobs have gone up 1.5cm already! 😅
Anyone got any recommendations for some comfy pregnancy bras with room to grow as i don't think my current ones are going to be comfy for much longer.

Oh my goodness. Love that you have those two dates locked in as milestones. I always feel that makes time pass quicker 😊

LCA07 · 02/06/2025 12:42

Hi all! 5 weeks and 1 day today 💖 is anyone else really dizzy when they stand up? Really struggling with that today. Other than that and the tiredness I’m still in my happy little bubble! Counting down until my early scan 😂

Parttimepaula · 02/06/2025 12:55

Hey everyone, tentatively joining if I can,
I got my first VVF positive today. We weren’t actively trying and only had sex once last month so DP is going to be thoroughly disappointed. (I’ll wait to tell him when I have a more solid line to show him!)
This is our second and my EDD by the dates should be about 10th feb but I’ll probably be the end of the month if this is similar to my previous pregnancy!

I remember nothing from my previous pregnancy early days except for testing daily like a mad thing, which no doubt I’ll need to do again as the line is so faint!

Tofu35 · 02/06/2025 13:37

5 weeks 4 days today with baby 2. Took 2.5 years to conceive number one so was not expecting number 2 to take 3 months 🫣 already feeling a bit guilty for my 2 year old, he is loving life as an only, and I'm about to crash the party (should all go well).

Yes!! I’ve been having that for about a week. I’m only 12dpo. But I’ve got low blood pressure anyways so wonder if it’s to do with that? But can hormones make you dizzy? 😵‍💫

MountainBunny · 02/06/2025 14:05

Urgh absolutely repulsed by all foods today. Everything smells so strong and makes me feel nauseous to even think about.

How many weeks are you?

jelliebean9 · 02/06/2025 14:44

Does anyone know how the HCG works in tests? So, if you test with a 25miu test and get a faint line, would your HCG be just over 25miu needed to trigger the test? Cos any lower than 25miu concentration in your wee, it wouldn’t trigger the test, is that right? So even a faint line must mean your HCG is at least 25miu? Is it the stronger the line, the higher your HCG, or do home tests not work that way? Sorry for all the questions and sounding a bit silly!

@jelliebean9Yes!! Gives you something to look forward too! I have a 6yr old DD too, who is super excited and can’t wait to see baby on the TV 🤍

ally62442 · 02/06/2025 16:18

Rang EPU today to get booked in for a scan. I’ve mentioned it before but I’ve got a blood condition that requires me to be on blood thinners once pregnancy is confirmed. With all 3 of the pregnancies with my boys I was scanned at 6 weeks and started the injections straight away. Even with my last chemical pregnancy they booked me in at 6 weeks for a scan. However today they have booked me in for 7 weeks. Not sure why I didn’t even query it. I was hoping I’d be going next week but now it’ll be an extra week of waiting. I know im lucky I get to have an early scan anyway but id just got it in my mind id be going next week.

I’ve been taking low dose asprin since before I ovulated because i read online that it’s one of the things you get prescribed when you have reoccurring chemical pregnancies. An it could just be a complete coincidence that I’ve got a bfp this month and that my test lines are 100% brighter than with my chemicals. But I’m going to keep taking it to safe guard myself just incase it did make a difference. I’ll stop once I get my blood thinning injections.

Not much point to my post really 🤦🏻‍♀️ just came on to ramble. 😂

Butterflysunshine01 · 02/06/2025 16:30

Hey @GiraffeMumma I love the boux avenue nursing bras! They’re so comfortable I still wear them for breastfeeding now , and will continue to wear them through this pregnancy. @LCA07 same I’ve been very dizzy- I tried to do downward dog in a yoga class the other day and thought I was going to faint! @ally62442 i had blood clot after my last birth (a big DVT in my leg) six weeks post partum, so they told me I would have to inject throughout this pregnancy- but I haven’t actually rang them yet as only five weeks! Will you be on clexane? I’m still breastfeeding so think they will put me on that. Not looking forward to it at all.

ally62442 · 02/06/2025 17:12

@Butterflysunshine01with my first two pregnancies I was on clexane then my last pregnancy I had Tinzaparin. The same thing I think just a different name. I've never actually had a blood clot. For me it's just a precaution. I got my blood disorder from my mum. Both her and my brother have had blood clots. So I've been lucky! I hope I continue to be lucky ! 🤞🏻A blood clot at 6 weeks postpartum couldn't have been nice. Especially with a new born.

I had to do 2 injection a day last pregnancy because of my weight. Reckon it’ll be the same this time potentially. It’s not nice and you always end up black and blue!
