Hi!

Thought I'd start a group for those of us just getting our positives now and are due in April 2027!

I've just had a positive from a frozen embryo transfer. One DD and a previous loss and one failed cycle.

Anxious putting one foot in front of the other in these early days!

aww congrats! i am 4 days past a 5day frozen embryo transfer! what day did you get your positive? i’ve had a very very very faint test today but think it’s a evap line tbh!

Orchid887 · 18/07/2026 12:55

Hi @Rainbowwish26and congratulations on your transfer!!

I got a very faint line on the evening of 4DPT! (I've always tested better in the evenings). It was the same with my daughter. Though hers was a little stronger than this one. What tests are you using?

I'm only 9dpt today! Though it feels like it's been forever. 😂 OTD isn't even until Monday!

Aww lovely!
i used a pre mom which was neg and then a clearblue 6 days earlier but think it’s a indent!
my OTD is monday 27th so still time but so nervous!
what was the reason you needed ivf you feel comfortable sharing?
i think i just feel like it won’t work out for me as i’ve had 3 ectopics and this is a grade c embryo so feel like the chances aren’t that great!

Orchid887 · 18/07/2026 14:52

@Rainbowwish26- I used the CB ones too, if you can get hold of the CB 6 days early advanced then they're red dye and may show better! Or a FRER. (Or patience for a couple days though obviously I know how hard that is...!)

I'm solo so had IVF with a donor :)

I'm so sorry, that's really really tough. I have absolutely everything crossed for you for this cycle. These days feels endless while you're waiting.

Congratulations ladies! Can I join?

Super light positive today, dates from LMP give 2nd April as due date.

Had 2 missed miscarriages just last year, plus a previous successful pregnancy and another previous missed miscarriage a few years ago.

Feeling super nervous as you can imagine!

These early days are so stressful and long. Glad to see such an early group :)

Bumblebeemee · 21/07/2026 21:34

Hi everyone!

Tentatively joining, I had a faint positive yesterday at 9DPO and a slightly darker one again today, period not due until Sunday so hoping it sticks. This will be our 3rd and if all goes to plan we’ll have 3 under 5. My due date based off LMP will be 3rd April but my others didn’t make it to their due date so I have a feeling it might be a March baby.

Orchid887 · 21/07/2026 23:02

Hi both and congratulations!! Lovely to have more joining the group.

@Tinytotdriver- I totally appreciate the anxiety. I am riddled with it. My clinic has given me an early scan on the 12th August and it feels like 8000 years away.

@Bumblebeemee- I'm also going to be a March one. It's tricky to know my estimated due date as it was an embryo transfer, but calculations say between March 27th and April 1st. But my 12 week scan last time changed that completely and it'll likely be a section in week 39 anyway. However, I felt way too early doors for the March thread so thought I'd start the April one!

@Rainbowwish26- How are you doing?

Hi all I’ve had positive tests for the last few days but have also been bleeding and more than just spotting! So stressful 😩 Cautiously hopeful

Orchid887 · 22/07/2026 10:38

@Anon1363847291- Oh I'm sorry, that's so stressful. I had heavy bleeding with my daughter which turned out to be an SCH. I have everything crossed the same applies to you!

TiffanyBlythe · 22/07/2026 13:31

Hey all can I join?

just got a positive today at 11/12 dpo. Based on ovulation my due date is 2/3 April.

I had two consecutive misscarriages, then a baby girl who just turned one. Only had one period since my daughter so feeling so grateful.

I am very nervous though

Anon1363847291 · 22/07/2026 14:50

Ah thanks so much @Orchid887. I can’t find much only about SCH at such an early stage of pregnancy being only about 12dpo but here’s hoping it resolves itself 😩

greenshirt06 · 22/07/2026 15:30

Hi! I'm due end of March 2027 having found out yesterday (after the first month of trying)... which was a bit of a shock to say the least! Absolutely scared sh*tless but I think I'm excited!

Bumblebeemee · 22/07/2026 17:12

Congratulations to the newbies!

I’ve had a lot of cramps and twinges today, hopefully just hormones and everything settling in but I forgot just how anxiety inducing this stage is. Going to speak to DH about possibly getting an early private scan around 7/8 weeks as often the dating scan here can be any time between 12-14 weeks and I don’t think I can be calm for another 10 weeks! I’m super excited, I’ve had 2 quite anxious pregnancies/births and I just want to enjoy this one and tell everyone asap.

Bubblegu04 · 22/07/2026 19:50

Hellooooo! First positive tests today at 11dpo! I’ve got two young daughters (2.5 and 1) so don’t know if we’re absolutely bonkers to have another one so soon 😂 but really excited and hopeful! had a couple of miscarriages along the way so got my fingers crossed for this one 🤞

Anon1363847291 · 22/07/2026 20:19

@Bubblegu04 congratulations!! My little one is 10.5 months currently! How have you found the 18m age gap? I am riddled with anxiety after also having a journey to have my first with infertility meds and an op needed. Wish I had more of an ignorance is bliss attitude!!

Bubblegu04 · 22/07/2026 20:47

Hi @Anon1363847291 ! I love the age gap, my first was obsessed with babies at 18m which was really handy and she took to being a big sister amazingly. Did you always want a small age gap? There are hard moments when they both need you at the same time but it’s so worth it seeing how close they are already! I totally sympathise with the anxiety, I’m exactly the same after my losses ♥️

I’m the same! Definitely want an early reassurance scan. I had a anxious pregnancy with my daughter after my consecutive miscarriages but I am really excited to tell people this time

Anon1363847291 · 22/07/2026 21:25

@Bubblegu04 this sounds so sweet! The dream! I’ve just always known I want more than one and given my history have never felt I have the luxury of waiting a while before trying again and then by some miracle it looks like it might actually happen! I always thought it’d take another couple of years. Fingers crossed everything goes smoothly for us all!! 🙏

Hello everyone!

I have a DD who is 2yrs 7m and had a chemical pregnancy in August 2024.

I tested today and got a faint positive at 9dpo.. Estimated DD is 6th April. 😊 very early I know!

greenshirt06 · 23/07/2026 15:23

Is anyone else obsessed with testing? This is my first pregnancy ever, so I tested again this morning (I'm 4 weeks 3 days or 18 DPO).

The line is super bold and twins are in my husband's family... could it be? (classic because I was aiming for one and done 😂) Counting down the days til 7 weeks so I can go for a private scan, so place your bets!

I do like to test, I did well holding off to 9DPO this cycle and I’ve tested morning and night since haha. I like to see the lines getting darker. I don’t think it’s always an indicator though, I had a dye stealer almost immediately in my last pregnancy and was incredibly sick, almost hospitalised, and it was just one baby. I love the idea of twins but I don’t think I’d cope well!

Me, I’m a serial tester too. I ran out of tests so at lunch ran to Asda and brought some cheapies. Big mistake, they are so bad, the line was so light, I panicked. Googled it and apparently it’s just that brand that is shit🫠 feel so much worse now but going to order some of my usual tests and pray the line is okay

I’ve done a few tests! I just had a feeling I’d conceived and started testing from about 7 days post ovulation every day until I got my positive (super light) then continued to watch it darken to make it feel real. I feel like when it’s super light it doesn’t seem real enough for my liking

Bubblegu04 · 24/07/2026 09:48

god I drive myself crazy with testing! Started about 5dpo (lol) and was stressing out because I felt pregnant but they were all negative. Now I’m trying to just test with fmu to check line progression but I have done a couple of sneaky evening ones too 😂 I swear I’m a very chill person until I get pregnant and then I’m a nightmare!
