Just had a positive, faint line and a 1-2 on clear blue. This puts my due date as April 2nd. Anyone else??

i have a 1 year old but it doesn’t make this pregnancy any less anxiety inducing!

Congratulations!🤍 Also had a positive and estimate my due date to be 2nd April too, trying to stop my mind racing with endless possibilities right now!

SmartiesParty · 22/07/2025 20:59

hi, congrats too! I am tentatively excited as I have had an ectopic in the past so will go and check next week to see everything is ok

how long were you trying?

Congratulations. I'm a 2nd April baby and I'm bloody amazing. X

SmartiesParty · 22/07/2025 21:49

Congrats @Doone22
do either of you have any symptoms yet? I seem to have developed super smell which wasn’t great when people were eating on the train today

Yes I tested today at 9dpo after I vomitted twice yesterday. I haven’t been sick since my first trimester with my DD nearly 6 years ago 😅 I believe my due date is April 3rd

Edited

Sorry you’ve had an ectopic, hopefully you can get some early reassurance! Only 2nd cycle ttc our first so feel very lucky but it’s a whole new world and not any symptoms yet so doesn’t feel very real. How are you symptom wise?

SmartiesParty · 23/07/2025 14:15

Also no symptoms except one episode of becoming a super smeller. Fingers crossed it stays this way

Hi all,

Tentatively joining this thread. DH and I only decided three weeks ago that we would try for a baby "soon" and then had an unexpected positive test yesterday, though the line was very, very faint. Went out and backed it up with a ClearBlue test which says I'm 1-2 weeks. We are both a bit in shock and definitely not feeling ready for the madness ahead.

April 1st - I Tested positive yesterday.
I had two miscarriages last year, so tentatively excited/ overwhelmed
Very sore and swollen boobs, a few times today things have smelt slightly stronger/ bad, but I dont know if that’s just in my head

RaeEve · 24/07/2025 14:04

I am also April 1st! I suffered a miscarriage earlier this year so am feeling anxious and overthinking every twinge but am trying to stay positive and focus on each day at a time! So far I’ve had headaches and sore boobs (mainly nipples). Had a couple of times where I felt queasy or noticed the smell of things but not sure if I’m just looking for more symptoms for reassurance!

Lauraaa21 · 24/07/2025 14:28

Congratulations @RaeEve @Bibiddi @Nytch ✨ Definitely feel like I’m trying to symptom spot to reassurance myself😬 I’ve read it can be normal to not really have much symptoms till closer to 6 weeks to trying to convince myself to enjoy feeling ok whilst it last 🤣

ekam · 24/07/2025 18:11

Hi, tentatively joining ... I also had a miscarriage last year (this exact same time actually), with a history of severe endo and infertility (my first one was IVF). Super anxious and scared is probably an understatement. This place was amazing when I had my first little one via IVF so looking forward to the much needed oversharing and support x

SmartiesParty · 24/07/2025 20:32

Congrats all! Fingers crossed for everyone, I feel the anxiety too

@Nytchthats very exciting and fast! This happened with my first and I have to say for me i totally wasn’t prepared but actually what would have helped is looking at the first two years of a child’s life and where they get to as I had no clue and took each day at a time. Do you know other kids as I think that definitely helps

Congrats all! Also tentatively joining, faint positive this morning at 11dpo. This is baby number 2, my DS is 18 months old, we had a very long journey to get him with 4 losses along the way so praying it all goes smoother second time around

Amf2508 · 25/07/2025 19:10

April 3rd due date here!

Thebeing1 · 25/07/2025 23:45

Hi everyone! I tested positive yesterday but digital one only confirmed it today! By my dates, my due date is 6th April!

This will hopefully be baby n2 but it’s my third pregnancy. The only systems I have are sore boobs cramps! I had this with my first and I didn’t know I was pregnant until I was almost 7 weeks pregnant! With the pregnancy before this one, I kinda knew even before I
missed my period.

Which vitamins is everyone taking? I just realised that I’m not on anything atm and I need to go to the shop and get some tomorrow! ☺️

SmartiesParty · 26/07/2025 05:38

@Thebeing1congrats! I’m just taking the standard pregnacare ones after running out of some I got from target in the US from my last pregnancy

Congrats everyone! ✨Tested last Sunday, super faint positive but now getting 2-3 weeks on cb digital. 2 miscarriages over the last two years and a chemical in Feb, due date is April 2nd! The stress of trying and wanting to be happy vs preparing for the worst and not getting my hopes up is taking it out of me atm 🥲 I think my symptoms being stronger than before are giving me a false sense of hope, sore boobs, bad nausea, fatigue, lightheaded, can smell literally everything x10 🤮 I’m sending everyone love wishing you all successful pregnancies ❤️❤️

MrsF111 · 26/07/2025 10:26

@aimeexwall so similar to me in terms of losses before I finally had my son, it’s such a difficult time but it does happen 😘 one day at a time!

Amf2508 · 26/07/2025 10:26

@aimeexwallstrong symptoms are good! I’m only slightly queasy! But running super hot, which was what led me to test!

This is baby no 4 for me! Never ever thought I’d be having 4 children 🤣 I have a 10,9 and 15 month old atm. This baby is due 2 days before my youngests 2nd birthday 🙈 preparing myself for a crazy household!

aimeexwall · 26/07/2025 10:43

@MrsF111all it takes it one! I have everything crossed for all of us 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Amf2508im hoping that’s the case! I never had symptoms this strong with my daughter either. Omg I thought I was gonna be in for it with a nearly 9 year age gap 😂 4 is going to be wild for sure!

Mamajoojoo289936 · 26/07/2025 14:47

Hello!

I got a positive on 24th, and based on my cycle it puts me at 4th April! I have a 25 day cycle so im not sure if they will take that into account when doing initial dating.

I have a 5 yo who will be 6 by April.

Ive no real symptoms but did get some cramping on Thursday. Period was due today and nothing but test is still only a faint line. Only been using cheap tests not sure if I should get clear blue but they all do same job right??

lalalalalala2024 · 26/07/2025 16:13

@Mamajoojoo289936ohh we are similar ! My due date is April 4th and I have a DD who will be 5 turning 6 in April too 😅

Mamajoojoo289936 · 26/07/2025 19:55

Mines 6 at Christmas so I'll have a Christmas and easter baby [hopefully]! First was 3 weeks early though and due in the January!!

How are you getting on so far?

Also is this a UK thread or is it worldwide? I remember using mumsnet when I had my first and found such a lovely community which is why ive come back!!<3
