Wondering if anyone has got a positive recently and would be due late April / Early May 2026? ✨

Me! I had a positive test on Saturday (and because I keep checking also Sunday and today 😂)
i tested on Friday, which was early as 9DPO, and there was no hint of a line then on Saturday morning there it was.

justawishaway · 18/08/2025 14:05

@seasummerExciting!! Exactly the same time line as me! I had a slight shadow Friday at 8dpo and then definite positives the last few days! I think it puts my EDD as 1st May!

I have had these test results over the last few days. Scared as we’ve been ttc for 2 1/2 years. Have had 2 losses and a chemical so praying this one sticks 🤞🏻

@hopeandpray1610I have had losses too so totally understand your anxieties. They look like good progressing lines so everything crossed for you 🤞🏼

@justawishaway it’s hard to not get excited but also be scared too isn’t it. 🙈 est dd is the 23rd of April - how about you? Xx

justawishaway · 18/08/2025 14:25

@hopeandpray1610i have only just stopped breastfeeding my (nearly) 2 year old so my cycles were a little all over the place but I think either 30th April/1st May!

1st of May is what Flo has as my EDD too!

justawishaway · 18/08/2025 14:27

@seasummeryes Flo says 1st May but I did a calculator online and it says 30th April! I have a nearly 2 year old who came at 37 weeks so interesting to see what happens this time!!

I’m struggling to keep positive that things are going to work out. Each day is already dragging 🙈 I’ve got a scan at the EPAU on the 8th of September but that seems ages away.

justawishaway · 19/08/2025 16:43

How is everyone doing?

hopeandpray1610 · 20/08/2025 07:56

@justawishaway I’m doing ok thanks. On progesterone due to my losses so hoping that helps. I’m 4 weeks 6 days today.
How you doing?

justawishaway · 20/08/2025 09:33

@hopeandpray1610i had progesterone in my previous pregnancy and it gave me my daughter! So fingers crossed for you. I’ve been told I can’t have it until I have had a scan (6weeks) this time as EPAU won’t see me any sooner which is really tough. I’m on aspirin too. I’m still cramping but trying to remain positive xx

Hello, thought I would join! Got my positive test last Friday and 5 weeks pregnant today. Due date based on LMP and 31 day cycle is April 25th. Booked a private scan in yesterday for a few weeks time when I will he 8 weeks 4 days for some (hopefully) reassurance x

justawishaway · 20/08/2025 12:52

@ALC1congratulations x

hopeandpray1610 · 20/08/2025 15:55

@justawishawayI’ve had private fertility appointments and so managed to get progesterone through them. This is a natural pregnancy though. Although it cost a canny bit due to it being a private prescription. Not bothered about the cost if it’s going to help. 🤞🏻
It’s crazy that the EPAU won’t give anything out before a positive test - seems so unfair. Have everything crossed for you.

@ALC1 welcome! My due date is the 23rd 🙂 hope you’re early scan goes well - and time flies to get you there xx

seasummer · 21/08/2025 16:14

@justawishaway I have 2 year old, he turned 2 at the end of June. He came at 40+10 so my expectation is that it will be similar this time. It drove me a bit mad waiting to go in to labour last time as I’d convinced myself he was going to arrive fairly early. At least this time I won’t be surprised if I hit week 40+

justawishaway · 22/08/2025 11:53

@seasummerthose last few weeks of pregnancy are so hard! I bet those last ten days felt like forever x

Hi everyone. Here cautiously after a missed miscarriage at 11 weeks in March that needed three surgeries to sort out.

Anyway I am pregnant again. Very early days but looks like I'm due in May 2026 all being well.

I've also got a 7 year old and a 4 year old :).

88claire · 22/08/2025 14:44

Cos everyone loves a good pregnancy test 😂

@88clairethat sounds really difficult. I’m sorry you went through that! Congratulations xx

Hello!
Going by my LMP I'd be 6w+1 pregnant, but there's no way this is a 6w+1 test is there? This reads more 4 to me?
I'd just come off the pill so wasn't in a regular cycle
I'd be due mid April if I go by LMP or early May if by what I think the tests say

Hi all, I’m also cautiously posting here too after 3 miscarriages in 13 months. I’m due 1st/2nd of May if it works out.

I am 14DPO today and this was my test earlier. I know exactly when I ovulate as I feel it.

Hello @BabyBorn& @BoodifulGoose! Congrats!!
@BabyBornsorry to hear about your losses, it’s really tough isn’t it.
@BoodifulGoosei think everyone is different and you can get the hook effect on tests but yeah I would say closer to 4 weeks than 6! You could try a weeks digital for a better idea xx

Thanks! Yeah I'm thinking it can't be hook cause I tested negative on Wednesday!

Notsure31 · 24/08/2025 07:59

Very cautiously posting after 3 early losses and a TFMR at 16 weeks in March, 9dpo. For some reason the frer is lighter than the easy at home I don’t know why, anyone else had this before?
