Thought I would make a thread for those due in March 2027, I joined a thread for my previous rainbow pregnancy in 2022 and I found it so helpful. I found out this week that I am pregnant with my second rainbow baby, after losing my first baby at 29 weeks. I am feeling incredibly anxious, more so than in my first pregnancy after my loss. Wishing everyone a smooth pregnancy ahead 🤞🏼

So sorry to hear this @CheeseNinja. Keeping fingers crossed for you that things might still be ok 🤞🏼

Had my first hint of a dye stealer on FRER this morning. 15dpt (or 20dpo). Strangely I’ve had a dye stealer on CB since 12dpt and I thought FRER were more sensitive. Trying not to panic about if it’s quite late, reassuring myself that my MMC cycle it took until 18dpt. But it’s so hard not to compare lines.

Your photo looks really similar to my FRER I took at 20 DPO too, if that’s any reassurance. I just went to take a photo to show you but it’s dried a lot lighter, but it looked like yours when I done it at the weekend 😊

Ahh thanks @SantiagoSister that’s reassuring. So sorry to hear about everything you’ve been through lovely!

Lucky444 · 01/07/2026 12:54

@mumtrovert I'm going to buy some more tests to monitor I’ve just been using clear blue at the minute but testing every 48hours. Do you just use FRER and clear blue . I want a reliable cheaper one . Not taken one today but this was mine from 13dp5dt . Your line looks amazing 🥰

@Sheequi that sounds tough keep strong 💪🏼 I don’t have the option to work from home so really hoping sickness doesn’t hit me too hard

@Longbin congratulations that’s amazing news

Hey everyone, hope you're all feeling okay today. I have some lower back pain which is unusual for me, I'm so uncomfortable. I do have a cold so wondering whether its flu symptoms or maybe a sign baby isn't sticking 🥲

I had this last week, I was so uncomfortable it kept waking me up, I worried the same as you and then it just went away after a day or so. Hopefully it’ll be the same for you. Also think I’m fighting off my sons cold too 🤧

That’s a great line @Lucky444doesn’t look like it could get much darker! I’ve been alternating between CB and FRER as I know they’re both sensitive and I used FRER in all my previous cycles so I feel like I know it well. I think I’ve only got one more FRER left and then I’m putting the tests down. I could go and get a beta but they’ll want me to have a scan at 7w regardless so I just don’t want to put myself through the stress. I will however do a CB digital weeks (don’t all shout at me I know they’re so unreliable!!) at 5+5 and pray for 3+. I knew I was going to MC last time because I never got a 3+.. so I feel like that’s going to be a biggie!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼 not sure why I’m torturing myself but would rather have a heads up before scan.

@Hopefulmama21 lower back pain can be a normal sign of everything stretching and loosening! I’ve had period type pains and a stitch type pain almost consistently throughout

smokestacklightning · 01/07/2026 14:20

So lovely to see your test lines, ladies!

No shouting here @mumtrovert I've been kept off the tests for the last week or so because I've been travelling but I've got one CB digital saved to take over the weekend and I'm praying for a 3+ too! How lovely it would be for you to see that 🤞🏼

mumtrovert · 01/07/2026 14:26

Oh best of luck @smokestacklightning how far will you be when you plan to test? I thought 5+5 seemed safe although I know many get it sooner. I don’t want to be too early and send myself into a spiral!

smokestacklightning · 01/07/2026 14:33

@mumtrovert thank you! 5+4 or 5+5ish by Sat/Sun, so about the same as you. I know it isn't totally accurate but I just really want to see some progression! Truth be told it's only the fact I've been away that's stopped me checking an FRER every other day! All the best to you too!

Lucky444 · 01/07/2026 14:35

@mumtrovert
I'm the same 😂😂 I’ve put in my calendar 6 weeks to try 3+ maybe I’ll test sooner now haha.That was the same with me got my 2-3 then it went down after a while to 1-2 . So I’m with youse 3+ definitely feels like a biggie.

@smokestacklightning good luck for your 3+🥰

I have seen lots of women saying there pregnancies were completely okay and they never got a 3+ but the temptation is too much 🫠

mumtrovert · 01/07/2026 14:51

@Lucky444 aw I’m sorry you’ve been through it too. Fingers crossed for us all!! @smokestacklightning 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Longbin · 01/07/2026 15:18

I am a bit worried about the clear blue tests. I had 1-2 on Sunday when I was 3+6, but it’s not gone up at all and should be on 2-3 by now as I’m 4+2. Hate just waiting around

Lucky444 · 01/07/2026 15:25

@Longbin try not to worry , have you got any line tests you can try and then you can see what your hcg looks like xx

Lucky444 · 01/07/2026 15:26

@Longbin I’m with you it’s the worst waiting around so hard finding out so early xx

Lucky444 · 01/07/2026 15:26

@Longbin I’m with you it’s the worst waiting around so hard finding out so early xx

I feel this!! I’ve banned myself from any other clear blues till I’m at least a week late and I’m due AF tomorrow but only seen 1-2 weeks ❤️

mumtrovert · 01/07/2026 15:58

@Longbin I’m a total hypocrite because I do worry if I don’t get the right result, BUT when I did a ton of research last year about them, there were so many cases where they were totally wrong and there was nothing wrong with the pregnancies. If you ovulated later or it implanted later you would probably be just on the cusp of 1-2 / 2-3 x

Hi everyone, I got my BFP at 8dpo (yesterday!) hopefully I will stay in this thread this time. I had a miscarriage in April. Feeling very blessed as this was my first cycle trying again :,)

Due March 2027
smokestacklightning · 01/07/2026 19:24

@Emmie93 congratulations! That's such a nice line for 8dpo! Or maybe it's just me, I felt on my ones of those tests the lines were suuuuper faint and I only found out with an FRER. I'm so sorry about your loss, sending you loads of positive energy 🙏🏼

Longbin · 01/07/2026 19:51

My line was darker but I am worried about the fact I got the positive before 4 weeks so can’t have implanted that late. I’ve had a miscarriage before and my hcg progressed very slowly so I’m going to go for a blood test early next week

Thank you so much! The line was darker today, so hopefully will keep progressing nicely. I know hcg doubles every 48hrs but can’t help but test everyday lol
