Just had a tentative early bfp which would make me due Feb 2027. Super scary as we have a not quite 9 month old…fingers crossed it’s sticky.

Anyone else?

Had my early scan today and all is well so far!
due date looking like January 23rd! 😍

Heey ladies first time on this board in a while!

Tested positive yesterday with a paper stick test, very dark line very quickly. Got a digital test and I am 3+ weeks. I did a test about 3/4 weeks ago as I had a feeling I was pregnant and it was negative but I guess it was just too soon.

I am still breastfeeding my 18 month old and only had two random periods since having him so not sure when I ovulated.

This will be baby number 4, wasn't planned but wasn't prevented either, we knew we wanted another. Feeling slightly nauseous but nothing too terrible and had a nap this afternoon :D

How is everyone feeling?

Unfortunately it's definitely a loss for me, so I'm going to drop off.
Wishing you all the very best for your pregnancies 💕

Also up for a WhatsApp group! 💕 Anyone else getting their butt kicked with tiredness? The exhaustion is real 😴

sorry to hear this @Littlebuzz please look after yourself 💖

Hi all, i had positive test initially on 28/05 (just a cheapy) and then did a digital clearblue on 29/05 which said pregnant 1-2, so by my last LMP i estimated i was 4 weeks 5 days.

Today i had a scan at the EPU and should be 6w+2 but she measured me at 5 weeks exactly and said its too early to see anything and to come back for a rescan in 2 weeks. We literally had sex once in May so i know the date of conception (and even though i know sperm can hang around for a few days, it couldnt be 9 days out surely) so im feeling a bit nervous/confused and the 2 week wait now is going to be agony. There was a yolk sac so she said there was something there but too early to see an embryo/heartbeat.

has anyone experienced anything like this before? Obviously fearing the worst now. This is my 2nd pregnancy, my daughter is 20 months.

thanks in advance x

Growth can really vary this early on so hopefully things pick up in the next couple of weeks and you're back on track at the next scan

Hi everyone, I haven’t posted on here since I was pregnant with my first! But tested positive yesterday so it looks like baby number two will be here in February 🥰

Aceofbase1987 · 10/06/2026 04:24

Hi everyone. Just hopping on as got my positive on Sunday. No idea of dates as I had mirena removed and no period yet but I tested negative a week ago and this turned positive on Sunday. These two tests were taken 48 hours apart. I can’t see much line progression apart from the bottom line appears a bit fuller. Should I be worried? Thanks in advance

I didn’t see much difference when I tested two days apart so try not to worry 🙂 easier said than done haha I’ve tested about 5 times so understand

kikika · 10/06/2026 06:33

the bottom one clearly looks darker to me @Aceofbase1987 but also I don't think blue dye is as good as red dye for line progression, the lines always seem a bit less defined to me.
anyway I definitely don't think you have anything to worry about, congratulations! ❤️

Aceofbase1987 · 10/06/2026 07:12

Thank you so much. I’m just worried as I’m 40, and it happened so quickly I’m convinced something has to go wrong, which is silly I know but I can’t help it 😪 In my previous two pregnancies, I know the line was much stronger but then I think I probably tested later as I wasn’t tracking ovulation etc and it’s only been a week since I tested negative. I’ve attached another pic. The first photo is from a positive FRER on Sunday. Then the next is the positive clear blue from Monday and then the clear blue from this morning. I think there’s progression, although I know it’s harder to tell when the tests are different brands

Hey ladies, ttc after a chemical pregnancy last month, currently 11dpo and no lines, is that a definitive no or keep testing as the days go by, always seeing people say they have BFP at like 8dpo. Just needing some reassurance and some hope

My first pregnancy I got a faint positive at 9dpo but this time I didn’t see a line until 13dpo so must have just implanted later. I wouldn’t say you are out yet

Thank you, I’m going to retest in a few days and see how we go, trying not to stress myself

GiantYorkshirePud · 10/06/2026 10:49

Welcome and congratulations to the new ladies 💖

Ive had some brown spotting the past few days, didnt have this in my first pregnancy so I called my GP for advice, worried out my mind, he was lovely and gave me a referral to the EPU. Had my scan first thing this morning and they saw a little bean measuring 5.5 weeks and a strong heartbeat ❤️

My HCG must be lower as I always seem to get bfps later. For my 2nd & 3rd pregnancies, my line at 12dpo was so faint I thought it was negative, and this pregnancy I tested at 11dpo with a cheapie as i wasn't able to on 12dpo and that was v faint/uncertain too. The frer on 14dpo was clearly positive but nor was it dark

Honestly thank you so much everyone, I think I needed the reassurance that it’s not too late

this afternoon my symptoms have really picked up, headaches, very bloated, a bit dizzy, light nausea, really hard not to lean into it, only thing I don’t have is sore boobs which I had in my last pregnancy before I had a chemical pregnancy

I don’t track LH but I didn’t test until what I thought was 14dpo (my tracking app actually adjusted my predicted ovulation day -1 after I confirmed I was pregnant so it was actually 15dpo) and I only got a VERY faint line. The following morning I had a more definitive line. Keeping everything crossed for you, sounds like it’s different for every pregnancy x
