Due March 2026

[TheFutureIs]

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

@ZoeOutdoors really sorry to hear that, make sure you look after yourself and also speak to EPU again.

@Nightshift110 I'm so sorry you've had that news at your scan lovely. It would be great if it was that it was too early, but if it is ectopic at least you've caught it early. I hope you get seen again soon and get some answers.

Did a clear blue this morning and only got 2-3 when it should be 3+ (I’m 5+4 and tested positive at 9dpo so pretty confident on dates).

Im now spiralling its bad news :(

@Mushroo please try and not read too much into this result as the range on the 2-3 from an HCG POV is huge and can vary a lot based on urine concentration, time of day etc. I took my last digi at 4+6 and got 2-3 (I got a 2-3 1 week earlier) but decided not to take another to save my sanity. I was also getting stalled progress on FRER (which has never happened) and my cheap strips, so I just stopped testing and partly assumed the worst to protect myself (based on the lines, they stayed the same as when I got a 2-3 so I assume I'd have still got a 2-3 at 5+5 when I did my last test). I went for a scan at 6+1 and there was my tiny baby with a flickering heartbeat.

These things absolutely should be banned 😖 they cause so much stress! Your urine lags behind your blood HCG so I think you have to be over 5000 for it to show 3+, not 2700.

My beta at 6+0 was 3366. So technically today I should be 5000+ at 6+4. It doesn’t look like it’s been doubling properly since my last beta so I’m fully expecting bad news. Buuuut guess who is deliverooing a CB weeks digi to my work, sneaking behind DP’s back!, to see if I get 3+ thereby obviously proving my HCG is rising .. 🙃🙃🙃🙃 shoot me now!!!

Hey ladies do any of you take electrolytes? I have chapped lips and always find lip balms dry my lips out rather than moisturise them x

Il add im on omega3s naitre pregnancy sachet and floradix iron i dont really want to be overdosing myself??

@peanutForeveryes I bought some electrolytes the other week

Honestly what the hell .. I’m so cursed with these things! It arrived and I thought I had enough pee, but it came out all sideways and by the time I aimed the stick right I’d pretty much finished 😫😫😫 now it’s got an error on it because there’s not enough. God dammmnnn I’m gonna have to waste more money 🙃 if I don’t laugh I’ll cry

@peanutForeveroh and for lips, the best stuff ever is Lucas paw paw cream. It can be used on lots of other things too like burns, insect bites etc

@mumtrovert oh noooo! Sounds like something that would happen to me 😂.

Im going to do a cheapie again later, clear blue in a couple of days and book a private scan for next week.

I was so hoping to be ‘chill’ this time, clearly not happening

@mumtrovertI always pee into a collection pot and then dip

So sorry to hear @Nightshift110 and @ZoeOutdoors sending love and hugs ❤️

@mumtrovert only you 🤣 get a little pot and pee in that then you can dip, much easier! My pee pot is an old hairspray bottle lid 🤣🤣

I worried myself re that
But all was ok

@Mushroo @TheFutureIs @Casper94

I’m armed with another test and will grab a plastic cup on the way 😂 gonna wait till later so it can ‘mature’ back in my bladder again

@worldwidetravel2017 thank you. Did you get 3+ eventually or stop testing?

Anyone else waking up praying they feel sick every morning. 5+1 here and no sign of any symptoms. Even boobs not sore today. Got a bad feeling about this and trying not to spiral. My rational mind knows it possibly too early and not everyone even has symptoms but I just want a sign from somewhere that this is real

@Orangeloverlots of people don’t ever have nausea and it generally often starts after 6 weeks

@Orangelover my first pregnancy I didn’t have any nausea. Keep peeing on sticks if it reassures you.

My nausea started suddenly at 7w2d yesterday! Felt rough all day. Before yay all I've had is sore booba. Today I've woken up feeling fine again and making most of it by getting stuff done I couldn't yesterday as no idea when it might suddenly hit again.

@ZoeOutdoors @Nightshift110 so sorry to hear this thinking of you both ❤️

I was taking them but now can’t stomach the taste 😩😩 hopefully I can go back on them soon!!

@Orangelover i was in your boat at 5.5 weeks - barely any symptoms except occasional sore boobs and cramps. Nausea hit with a vengeance as soon as 6 weeks rolled around. I’d say enjoy it whilst it lasts!

Still showing 2-3 unfortunately. Definitely think I’m out. I know they’re not accurate blah blah but I just have that gut feeling. Scan not until Monday. Can’t believe I have to go through all of this again.

Are you using your first morning urine?? It may just be the HcG is slower rising 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thanks @Hopeloveandkindness at 6+4 it should definitely be showing by now though. I think my HCG is just too low and slow for where I am unfortunately. Of course I’ll still hold out some hope for Monday but just trying to mentally prepare myself. It started off so faint didn’t it so think it was a bit doomed from the start.
