I have just had a positive result! Looks like I’m due early March 2026.
Second baby for me, eldest is 9 in September.

Thought it would be lovely to have somewhere to share our progress

Any one else really thirsty/really dry mouth? Especially in the morning, I just need to down a big glass of water when I wake up! Feel like I'm just waiting for the nausea/sickness to appear, I'm 5 weeks and my last pregnancy it started at about 6 weeks and lasted untill my wee one was born, though when I had a MMC I didnt have really have any nausea, so I feel like it would be a good sign even tho it really sucks....

@Mushroothought it was just me lol

yayimallama · 11/07/2025 07:17

@Mushroosame with the early waking, sometimes I can get back to sleep, sometimes I can't 😴 dunno if it's partly a bit of pregnancy anxiety too

Yessss. I’m absolutely insatiable for water at the min 😅

Just got to the clinic now for my 2nd beta. Pray for me 🙏🏼

Everythingisokay · 11/07/2025 08:25

@mumtrovert fingers crossed 🤞

How many weeks are you? 💕

FizzLemon · 11/07/2025 08:36

Hi, I’d like to join the club too! First time pregnancy and 5+6 today. Took a while for it to sink in as we’d been trying for nearly a year. EDD is 7th March so think I have some EDD twins in this thread!

Main symptoms so far have been very sore breasts, peeing allll the time and waking up super early nearly every day. I’ve also noticed I currently hate olives and the smell of truffle - I’m Italian so this is very unusual for me 😂

So happy to be joining this group!

@mumtrovert fingers crossed 🤞

Thank you! 🤍 I’ll be 5 weeks tomorrow. Last beta at 13dp5dt (equivalent to 18dpo) was 363. Anything over 730 today and I’ll be sooo happy. Should find out this afternoon.

Mushroo · 11/07/2025 09:45

@FizzLemon welcome!! Also a member of the waking super early club!

I’ve also completely gone off coffee which is unheard of!

Just got the call. 719! Obviously I’m delighted but part of me is disappointed it’s not more which is SO silly. It’s 98% increase so practically doubled, just 7 off 😅

RadishTea · 11/07/2025 13:45

👋I found out I'm pregnant a few days ago and think I'm due 19th March. Had some mild nausea already and keep waking up early in the morning. Today I'm just soo thirsty but it is super hot as well.

MrsWindrush · 11/07/2025 14:01

@mumtrovertthats great! I had a beta at 9dp5dt which was 29 and they said it was borderline, but then had another at 13dp5dt which was 155 which the clinic was happier with and said it could just have implanted later than normal. Having another beta tomorrow (17dp5dt) so here’s hoping it’s at least 620 🤞. Do you know how long your clinic will keep doing betas for?

Everythingisokay · 11/07/2025 14:10

@mumtrovert lovely news 💕
@MrsWindrush great news too 💕

I've had some cramping today which had made me anxious but it could just be intestinal pain from yesterday. Feeling so sleepy. Off today, hanging out with my lovely DC, wanting to sleep. So hot in here, we are even keeping our blinds mostly closed 😂
DH returns tomorrow evening so I'll definitely be napping on Sunday.

Aw fingers crossed for you tomorrow 🤞🏼 it’s horrible waiting isn’t it. Are you still testing? I tested daily just to reassure me it is progressing but I’m a bit OTT I think 🙈

No more betas now.. clinic are happy. They didn’t even think I should have a beta, they said they only do it if there’s any concern, which they said there wasn’t any. But my tests were so much fainter than other people’s so paid extra to have them. I think I just implanted late also, perhaps around 6/7dpt (IVF). Now just waiting for my scan on the 30th.. but will do a Clearblue on 5+3 (next Tues) to hopefully see that 3+ weeks which means my hCG is over 2200!

Peanutbutterjelly123 · 11/07/2025 15:51

Question - Last period was April; and no idea when I ovulated. Positive test on the 25th June (was negative Monday 23rd). Early scan exactly 3 weeks after BFP. Is that a long enough gap to see a viable pregnancy? By my calculations I think it would mean I’d have to be around 6 and a half weeks by scan time?

how long after your BFP are you going for your early scans?

I need to go on medication so need it to be as early as possible but don’t want to go too early and end up more anxious. EPU are being delightfully helpful as usual 🙃

My scan is 1 day after yours

Also hoping for that 3 plus soon
