Welcoming all those who have received their BFPs for a November bubba - congratulations to all!
I felt terrified as not really TTC #2 but thanks to support from the kind ladies of MN I’ve decided to embrace and be excited.

34, baby #2, probably keeping it a surprise(?!) mum to a 7yo DS, hoping only 1 in there as only 3 weeks today and heft symptoms already

Welcome @Sj2505 if it helps, Ive not had a 2-3 weeks test yet. I tested on Thursday a day before 4 weeks and got 1-2 weeks and not planning to do another weeks test until at least this Thursday or maybe even the weekend.

I was pregnant three times last year and never got to 3+ weeks so feel quite anxious about testing and would rather test and get a definitive answer.

I'm on progesterone this pregnancy and man, is it knocking me about a bit. Don't know if I'm just being a bit hyper-aware of what's happening but my resting heart rate is unusually high and the fatigue is UNREAL. Had a few dizzy spells but just taking myself off for a lie down when needed.

Still reconditioned to think this will also end in loss... I hope if things do progress that my mindset can change.

Thank you. I had planned on doing another digital weeks this morning, but couldn’t face it. I woke up so happy, with my normal early symptoms, so I thought that enough information for today. I was thinking about doing one Thursday too. How far will you be then? I’ll be 5+1.

We are all likely hyper aware, but that doesn’t mean those things aren’t there, and it doesn’t take away that it’s different for you. Different is good right now 🫶🏼
I'm of the same mindset, like “my body doesn’t do this properly, so it’s inevitable” so I know how you feel there. But we’ll take it a day at a time.

how are you feeling this morning?

Hi all. Feel a bit nervous saying hello as in all honesty I don't expect to be here for long... Which is a very bleak (but honest!) hello.

Just found out I'm pregnant after three previous losses last year. All between 5 and 7 weeks so all relatively early. I've just started on progesterone in the hope this may help but... We'll see. Finding it very hard to be optimistic.

Much wanted and longed for 2nd child for me, and first for my partner. I have a 9yr old DS with ex-H.

EDD from LMP would put me at 6th Nov I think.

Hello my story is very similar.

3 losses and got a positive at the weekend. hoping I am here for the long run. EDD is 8th November.

hope everyone is doing well. X

iwasgonnasay · 03/03/2026 12:16

Welcome all, most of your EDDs are first week of November - I’m sitting at 11th currently - I got BFP last Thursday which was a digital clear blue pregnant but not tested since as AF is due tomorrow and I feel very crampy today mostly on one said and I’m feeling very conscious and acutely aware of it. @Taysonic @Sj2505 very much that - doesn’t mean it isn’t happening but doesn’t mean worrying will help us. Each day as it comes and support💐 this feels like a very long journey already

eek I'm a FTM with an EDD of 8 Nov. So nervous and anxious but also want to shout it to the world! I woke up last Friday and just...knew.

iwasgonnasay · 03/03/2026 12:38

@honeybee0106 so lovely to hear - congratulations! My best bit of advise, which I would like to try and follow myself, is make the most of every day and minute of pregnancy and don't race to that finish line. Think of it as a wedding day or similar... you spend so many months planning and trying to imagine the perfect ending, but you'll regret when the day goes by in a blur and suddenly you can't remember how big you felt, when your bump popped, what you craved. Take photos of your belly, flat or not, and just love yourself.

I love how just this morning I was saying I might try and hold off until the weekend to do a next weeks test but I think I'll be doing well at this rate to hold off til Thursday. I'm just so keen for some good news and to get confirmation that things are progressing. I'd be more pleased and hopefully relaxed when I hopefully get to see 3+ weeks but I'll settle for the interim 2-3!

Thankfully I had a really busy weekend which kept me busy and distracted but this week feels like it's dragging already when I just want to have assurance that things are heading in the right direction. My partner ordered me a puzzle book which was delivered as a surprise yesterday to try and keep me busy and stop me overthinking... easier said than done!

CrazyKJ · 03/03/2026 13:19

Lovely to see more people joining the thread 😊 Last few days I’m hungry just all the time. It’s a bit of a new one for me as normally I get so wrapped up in things I forget to eat lol.
Otherwise Ive got tender boobs, a heavy feeling low down, on/off cramping and very mild nausea occasionally.

How is everyone else feeling? X

franc1s · 03/03/2026 15:38

Tentatively joining as I experienced a chemical last month and also had a chemical before falling pregnant with my son as well.

I’m currently 12dpo and have been testing positive since 9dpo, and the line was significantly darker this morning which was pleasing to see but I know this doesn’t guarantee the viability. I’m just going to take each day as it comes and step away from the tests for now. I’ve only been using cheapies but have a FRER being delivered so may take that at the weekend if all appears to be still going well by then.

My son turned 3 last week and this will be baby #2. EDD is the 12th November.

Wishing everyone a smooth and healthy pregnancy 🤞

Babybaby2026 · 03/03/2026 16:35

Hi everyone! Another member of the November club! Looking at an estimated date of the 6th November at the moment but still a bit in denial. I had a chemical last month and whilst my tests are looking good I’m still quite nervous…

CheesyToes · 03/03/2026 16:38

CrazyKJ · 27/02/2026 08:41

Hi @iwasgonnasay, I’ll tentatively join as got my positive on Tuesday. Due date would be around 5th November. Due to 2 previous losses we’re expecting the worst to be honest. Trying to be positive though, as it’s a very much wanted baby #2.
Only very mild queasiness so far, completely different to all my other pregnancies. So hanging onto that being a good sign 🤞

Congrats to everyone else with their positives this month! 🥰

Congratulations @CrazyKJ - I remember you from a previous TWW thread. I am due in September. Just thought I would float on this thread to see how the new cohort are getting on and I noticed your username. I am over the moon for you ✨💖

Elena88 · 03/03/2026 17:40

👋Wellcome all! I am about 5 weeks today had mild nauseas until yesterday and nothing today I got Clue 3+ at 4w 5d. It’s been very easy day very mild cramping only. How is everyone feeling x

Ahh that’s so sweet of you! It’s still very early days but feeling hopeful that this one will stick around ❤️🌈
Hope pregnancy is treating you well Xx

@honeybee0106 I think we’re due date buddies! How are you feeling?

StrawberryPi · 03/03/2026 18:12

@honeybee0106 I think we’re due date buddies! How are you feeling?

I’m good! A little queasy and so bloated but otherwise normal! What about you?

iwasgonnasay · 03/03/2026 18:37

Is anyone or has anyone else had one sided cramping? I feel really deflated tonight as I thought af was due today but I was wrong it’s tomorrow so I still can’t shake that the positive was wrong and af will show. Then this uncomfortable cramping on one side just makes me think if it is there it’s not viable. How can you to from so calm and positive to so confused and stressed!

OP posts:
Elena88 · 03/03/2026 18:44

@iwasgonnasay i spent the whole week 4 with alternative side cramping it seem to have subtle today (5w) a lot less cramps this week

StrawberryPi · 03/03/2026 19:50

@honeybee0106good too! Quite nauseous and a bit knackered but very happy :) just keeping everything crossed until I can have a scan (aiming for 7 weeks) as I had a miscarriage with my first pregnancy last year.

doofdoof · 03/03/2026 21:18

Hi all, I am tentatively joining as I got what I think is a positive but not sure as my cycles have been all over the place since having my son… 3 months ago in November 2025! Eek! Congratulations to you all x

🎇 Due November 26 🎆
ViolettySpaghetti · 04/03/2026 07:21

Hi Ladies,
Hoping to join you all! Tested positive with a vvfl yesterday, only 3w4days today and nervous as we had a missed miscarriage last May! Fingers crossed for us all! Xx

Sj2505 · 04/03/2026 08:16

Morning all. Welcome newcomers and congratulations on your BFPs!
Hope everyone’s feeling ok.

I’m 5 weeks today and this morning I got another 1-2 on a digital. Panic searching and I found a very helpful, actually complete(!) thread on here from a woman in the same position who went on to have a healthy baby girl. She ordered medichecks hCG blood test, so I’ve just ordered too 😣
She had scans and was measuring a week behind between 6-12 weeks, but baby eventually caught up.
I won’t be testing anymore until the blood kit arrives, because I’m in quite quickly driving myself crazy. I don’t have a good feeling though 😔 doesn’t help that I bled a little after DTD last night, but that’s not unusual for me, just not ideal right now

Taysonic · 04/03/2026 08:49

Ah man @Sj2505 I can imagine your head is all over the place. The weeks indicators are notorious for being inaccurate and anxiety inducing but, at the same time, I know how many of us put faith in them to try and track progression.

Are you known to your local EPAU? I've had hcg bloods taken in previous pregnancies, and whilst they didn't end well, it did help to confirm what was happening (either way).

Sj2505 · 04/03/2026 09:04

@TaysonicI am known to then from 2023. I spent 10days in the with severe OHSS following egg collection, then later in the year with my chemical, I was back and forth every week because my hCG took so long to come down. So I’m not a current patient or anything. I spoke to the GP the other day in the hope she’d refer me for bloods, but she refused.
But I’ve ordered them now anyway, so we’ll see.
I feel really down and flat today.

how are you doing?

Oh darling, I'm so sorry you're feeling down. The hardest thing is the not knowing. I don't want to give you false hope, but also, we don't know that this isn't normal for you yet. It might all be fine - just like the lady on the thread you mentioned. If there's one thing we know, it's that pregnancy has SO many variables and annoyingly, it takes time to see what direction things are heading in.

I am keeping ALL my fingers crossed for you and very much hoping the tests you ordered give you some reassurance. For all the time until that point, and for all the possible outcomes, we're here. And we care. And we're very much hoping for the best.

I'm doing okay - just hanging on in there, keeping up with the progesterone pessaries and trying to keep myself distracted. I had been feeling quite light headed and dizzy (from the progesterone likely) but that didn't seem as bad yesterday so hopefully I'm starting to get used to it.

Sj2505 · 04/03/2026 10:08

@Taysonic thank you, that means a lot! I have been insanely going through old threads on here, and it seems pretty 50/50 without outcomes following late CB digital progression.
I’m just clinging onto the fact that I only bled after sex last night (TMI, but we DTD twice and my partner is “blessed” shall we say) and it has cleared this morning so far! So I’m hoping it just aggravated my cervix. This is what ChatGPT is saying anyway.

I’m pleased you’re doing well, I remember the progesterone pessaries from IVF cycles and they are a delight aren’t they! Remind me, how far along are you? I think I said, but I’m 5 weeks today going by LMP.
