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

Just realised I'm out of blue and green progesterone needles. I have ones for tonight but none for tomorrow night. What can I do?

Talk to pharmacy
( take a photo of what u have / use )

@worldwidetravel2017 thanks

I still can't join Facebook group.

Anyone else on progesterone suppositories? This is my third pregnancy and I had cramping in those pregnancoes but nothing like this so I can only assume it is the suppositories. Anyone else got this? It feels like period cramps ( if anything worse than my period cramps as my periods pains got better after my endometriosis removal). The annoying thing is ther fertility doctor prescribed them as she thinks I am at higher risk of miscarriage but I never had issues with progesterone with my previous pregnancies. The loss I had previously was a TFMR due to chromosome abnormality.

When I click the Facebook link, nothing comes up. Can it be reposted or can the administrator add us somehow?

I'm pretty nervous as my first child just turned one a couple of months ago. I did get an early reassurance scan for that pregnancy due to history. I requested one this time but didn't get it. I may book privately. Hope everyone doing OK

Mummysparrow · 12/07/2025 19:57

I am happy to add people on Facebook as friends so I can invite you in that way if that helps?
I had issues getting in as well and this is the only way I could get in

Hi everyone,

It has been a while and welcome to the ladies who have joined.

On Thursday like you @peanutForeverI experienced some bleeding very light when I wiped but still I weird for me at 5wk 4 days then again this morning but brown. I haven’t been able to see EPU yet but my GP sent a referral
letter on Friday and I tried following up but as per trying to contact EPU is just so difficult. How long after you contacted them did you get an appointment? Glad everything is ok with you. I’ve tested just to give myself peace of mind with a digital and I am still 3+ and symptoms are slowly coming back like being unable to stand the way I smell 👃 (just my normal body smell) and everything else. Feeling hungry but not fancying anything but coke which I don’t even drink. I’m 6 weeks today so… yeah hoping all is well.

When is everyone planning on telling work? It’s has been so disgustingly busy for me and I’m struggling with tiredness and being alert or bothered really! And next week is going to be insane!

Mushroo · 12/07/2025 20:50

This heat is killing me! I’m only 4 weeks and basically feel hungover all day.

I did not feel this bad last time because we were on a trip to Rome and I spent the whole time sightseeing.

Is anyone else struggling so early?! Slightly concerned it’s twins…

Baby26 · 12/07/2025 21:04

I've still had no luck joining the Facebook group either😟

Baby26 · 12/07/2025 21:06

@Renee33 most of my colleagues know already😬I'm not even 5 weeks yet! unfortunately it's not something I can hide due to the nature of my job. I have to change my job role for the safety of my baby (chemicals), so it then becomes obvious to all my colleagues! It was hard with everyone knowing when I had my MC, but it is what is is. Gotta keep our babies safe!

Bumblebee1984 · 12/07/2025 21:15

@Renee33i hope you’re able to get seen soon. If you’re struggling with work it might be worth speaking to them. I don’t plan on telling until after 12 week scan which I what I’ve done previously

@Mushrooyesh I also feel pretty hungover. Lot of the day these past few days. The heat is probably not helping

yayimallama · 12/07/2025 22:17

Was feeling a bit sicky tonight at dinner time, couldnt eat all my dinner, might have just been to do with the heat tho😓

@Mushroo yeah feeling hungover is a good way to describe it!

Hi lovely, I have just started them today and noticed cramps too, though they aren’t severe yet. I had them in my last pregnancy & I remember having similar. I suspect it’s normal but always ask if you’re concerned xx

Hi Renee,

so happy you got your 3+ & sorry the spotting has been making you worry. I had very similar spotting for around a week after my positive but have also had symptoms & 3+ and dye stealers so trying to stay away from testing again. I’m going to hold off telling work until 3 months as I’m still in my probation period (happy accident here!) but don’t think there’s any harm in saying early if you have a good relationship with your boss xx

Princessvett · 12/07/2025 23:53

Hi everyone, I’m due march 20th. Monday went in for just a check up ran blood and said I’m 3+4 now today is Saturday I’m 4+1

FlossiePot91 · 13/07/2025 06:45

Yes to the hungover feeling 🙈
This heat is not helping with the early days grogginess 😢

Everythingisokay · 13/07/2025 08:09

20DPO.
Got my first dye stealer with EHA, time put the tests away I think. Got about 3.5 weeks to wait until the early test.

Redsky01 · 13/07/2025 09:02

Got my ass out of bed for a run this morning and feel in a way better place. All symptoms are gone but up to clinic on Thursday so not long more to wait

worldwidetravel2017 · 13/07/2025 09:08

Slept til 530am today

Sore boobs on waking

Quite a bit of nausea this am

Pinchie1992 · 13/07/2025 12:35

Hi all! I’m currently around 5w4d pregnant, tentative as had a ruptured ectopic in January. Due date is around 13th March. Will be having an early scan on Thursday to check it’s in the right place. Symptoms are the moment are sore boobs, slight nausea and tiredness.
Nice to meet you all & sending lots of luck! Xx

Anyone else feeling a little anxious and 'meh' today? Just feeling sad 😔

ThisZippyViewer · 13/07/2025 17:24

Hi everyone 😊
got my BFP this week, 4w1d today - apps saying due around 21st March

Very conflicted about when to share news with family if anyone wants to share what they are planning 😅 know it’s still super early so thinking of waiting at least a couple of weeks

LevelOneAgain · 13/07/2025 17:34

Anyone else got travel sickness? It's the weirdest thing, don't suffer from it normally but I'm currently lying on the couch and have been for almost as long as the 30 min journey home and still feeling so nauseous. This happened the first time round too so seems to be a thing for me.
