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

@LevelOneAgain haha yes I'm mad really aren't I!! 😂 I do sympathise, I'm struggling with it so badly right now 😩 the only things helping me currently is eating little and often (plain biscuits, scones, jacket potatoes, bread etc) basically mostly bland things. I'm having the odd rowntrees randoms every few hours just to get the awful taste out of my mouth! Other than that - I'm taking xonvea (anti sickness) but I can't say it's actually doing anything to help 😞

@worldwidetravel2017I’ve got my first scan tomorrow too - quite nervous and keeping fingers and toes crossed for us 🙂

@Scribblespree when I had a scan around 8 weeks with my son, they did abdominal first and couldn't see anything, but then with the TV it was so clear, so if you dont see a whole lot just abdominal dont let it freak you out. He was also measuring 6 days behind my dates which I was 100% correct on, and he caught up well by the 12 week scan! Best of luck with it all x

Hey all, joining this group, had my positive test on Friday and bloods to confirm. My first time too so its very new!

Welcome @LunarBear

@worldwidetravel2017@FizzLemonhow exciting. Let us know how it goes. I have mine on Wednesday. Didn’t have an early scan last two times so this will be nice to see baby earlier

We had a scan last Wednesday where they saw gestation sac and yolk sac

Todays scan is because i have a hematoma and because theyve newly diagnosed me with aps / apls

Eek

Bit daunting how they wana scan again when its only been 5 days
But grateful

@ZoeOutdoors sending hugs- have you been able to speak with EPU xx

5+5 today, when did you get 3+ on CBD.
Ive had such a nightmare with CBD going between 1-2 and 2-3 , but I am thinking it's more to do with urine dilation levels.
Thinking of bringing my scan forward to next week when I'm 6+3 .
Was going to wait til 7 weeks , I think I worry 6+3 is too early .

They saw a gestation sac & yolk sac on mine @ 5w3days

7+1 and had some blood when i wiped, this is exactly how my miscarriage started in February at 6 weeks, I cant cope with another 😥

Is it an ivf pregnancy?
If so - could be haematoma
Common in ivf pregnancies

No it isnt

ZoeOutdoors · 21/07/2025 08:34

No it isnt

My mum bled with me 3 times and i made it

Hope things are ok

FlossiePot91 · 21/07/2025 08:44

ZoeOutdoors · 21/07/2025 08:34

No it isnt

Sorry @ZoeOutdoorshave you had any since? I haven’t had any since Friday so really hoping that’s a positive sign 🤞🏼 Let us know what EPU say.

ZoeOutdoors · 21/07/2025 08:50

There's a little bit there every time i wipe 😕

Thinking of you today. Hopefully it’s just a haematoma (the two people I know who had that were not IVF pregnancies) and you’ll get reassurance from the EPU.

ZoeOutdoors · 21/07/2025 09:31

Have a scan tomorrow morning

mumtrovert · 21/07/2025 09:48

Good luck for the scans coming up ♥️

I’ve brought mine forward to next Monday. I’ll be 7+2.

Sorry to those who are spotting, it must be so nerve wracking, but remember it can be completely normal too.

Scribblespree · 21/07/2025 10:05

@worldwidetravel2017 and @FizzLemon I have mine today too! Bit nervous! Partly because I’m worried there won’t be much to see with abdominal scan and partly because I really don’t ‘feel’ pregnant with practically zero symptoms other than light spotting 5 days ago, so have fears they’ll tell me there is no developing foetus, just a blighted ovum. Really hope yours go well!

@ZoeOutdoors I’m really sorry you’re going through this worry. Sending you hugs. Hopefully the scan tomorrow can provide you with reassurance x

FizzLemon · 21/07/2025 10:21

@Scribblespree it’s so nice to know a bunch of us are getting scans today! I’m similar, I felt queasy for a lot of week 5 and 6, and my nausea disappeared the last 3/4 days. I hear it’s normal for it to come and go and that I should just enjoy it, so trying to chill out, but I also haven’t been ‘feeling pregnant’ the last few days. It’s nerve racking isn’t it?

Hoping everyone who has scans this week can get some reassurance 🤞🏼❤️

TheFutureIs · 21/07/2025 11:11

Not got my scan booked until 1st Aug! Luckily got a
busy weekend at a festival coming up to distract me!
