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!

I've felt extremely exhausted past 2 days that I couldn't function until I had a nap whilst my dd had one too😅

I'm doing exactly the same 😂 but then we have to wake up when they do, argh! Mine has been up since 4.30 today, think he had a protest night while I'm trying to gently wean him off breastfeeding. And I fed him at that time, just cut him off, gave in and fed him again about 5.30 I think and cut him off again - only stopped screaming while feeding but didn't go back to sleep! Luckily it's a nursery day and I'm on school holidays 😴

So weird as well I seem to have gone off tuna, but I was obsessed with it when pregnant with my son.

Is there a WhatsApp group chat?

Haha I know right!
Oh wow, My dd usually wakes up around 7am-8am (I didn't breastfeed so I guess that's the difference there!)

I haven't quite had any symptoms in regards to taste or smell yet. Just fatigue then gassy 😅😅 which is very very NOT LIKE ME at all. Oh and some pelvic pressure still.

How old is your little one?

I'm hoping this thread stays a bit lively because I don't know how I feel about giving my number out! 😅

Tinytotdriver · 10/08/2026 14:01

As a few people have said, the fatigue is strong 😟

My nausea is driving me up the bend atm as well, and makes it hard to leave the house.

I have a scan with recurrent miscarriage clinic on Friday when I should be 7 weeks hopefully, so will update then.

Anyone else have any early scans coming up?

I'm going to book one either 29th/30th - so I will be either 8w+4d/8w+5d

I think WhatsApp have brought in a new function where you can pick a username and it hides your number from any group chats! But I can confirm the group chat is actually really nice, some lovely girlies on there :)

I'm with you on the debilitating sickness and fatigue! My scan is on Wednesday where I'll be 7+4.

I have my early pregnancy scan with my fertility clinic on Wednesday. I’ll be 6w6days!

Best of luck! Mine is Wednesday too at 7+2 x

RowsOfFlowers · 11/08/2026 06:18

For those of you who are 7 weeks or more, are you sure your due dates will be April? I’m current 6w6d and my EDD is April 1st, or are you factoring in the possibility of being late? X

fancyfrogs · 11/08/2026 08:11

Hi all
Tentative join - realised my period was 4 days late so took a test yesterday and the glaring positive really did take me by surprise 😂 this will be baby number 3. Still processing it all, doesn’t feel real. I am 4+6 today. I’ll be booking an early scan for 7ish weeks or so as I hate the not knowing and waiting to 12 weeks for a scan! Hope everyone is doing ok. I am utterly exhausted 😴

Orchid887 · 11/08/2026 08:12

@RowsOfFlowers- When I initially started my frozen embryo cycle, it was estimated that a positive test would mean a 1st April due date. However my lining was ready earlier which has brought it forward. But only by a couple days. So I don't feel particularly in the wrong place by joining the April one!

No that’s fair enough. I was really reflecting on it actually and I suppose if your expected dd is end or beginning of the month, it’s hard to know what group to join 😅 guess babies could come early or late! Xx

Tinytotdriver · 11/08/2026 17:51

Good luck tomorrow @Orchid887 @RowsOfFlowers @greenshirt06 and anyone else with scans then! Seems like there’s a few ❤️

Baby number 3 due end of April - got my positive yesterday. Extremely early days but will have to tell everyone already as I've had HG twice and will need lots of help!!

BelleSprout · 11/08/2026 22:09

Hi everyone, I’m tentatively joining. Just had my first very faint positive tonight at 13dpo. I’ve just had two back to back chemical pregnancies so I’m very nervous, but trying to be positive! This will be baby number 2

TheUniqueMember · 12/08/2026 08:28

I have really bad nausea this morning that I can't function. Super hot too 🥲

OverwhelmedOptimist · 12/08/2026 08:49

Hope everyone is ready for the heatwave! i am definitely not and feel even more nauseous when hot 🥵

I’ve sent a request to join the WhatsApp group, hope that’s okay

So lovely to see people have got appointments and scans booked, hope all goes well.
I had my early scan yesterday, measured at 6w6d and saw a lovely heartbeat so the anxiety has eased off temporarily 🤍

It can always be worse. It could have been DTD time 🥵😂 also welcome! Congrats! 🙌🏻

Orchid887 · 12/08/2026 12:01

A wonderful healthy heartbeat at my scan today. 7 weeks 4 days! Absolutely delighted.

That's wonderful news to hear! @OverwhelmedOptimist @Orchid887 🩷

My news is: I just threw up so that was great 😂😂

RowsOfFlowers · 12/08/2026 12:26

Congratulations @Orchid887 and @OverwhelmedOptimist I have mine this afternoon, nervous to say the least!
