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!

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

Huge co feats @Orchid887 !! Mine is also this afternoon, very nervous too!

OverwhelmedOptimist · 12/08/2026 13:08

Good luck for your scans, sending all the positive thoughts!!
@Orchid887 great news! What does that make your due date?

Has anyone else found a pattern to their sickness/nausea? I’ve had sickness on the same days in same pattern for two weeks, wonder if it will continue like that or just a coincidence!

RowsOfFlowers · 12/08/2026 13:28

Strangely I’m not experiencing any nausea at all. I’m 7 weeks tomorrow 😳

Tinytotdriver · 12/08/2026 14:11

Great news @Orchid887 @OverwhelmedOptimist!

Sickness just keeps getting worse here, especially if I use any transport. Can’t believe I’m dealing with (hopefully) the sickliest part of pregnancy while my LO is on the six week holidays and while it’s a heatwave here 😐

Hey Gals!

A tentative message to say I had a faint line at what I think was 10dpo yesterday.

EDD would be 24th/25th April. SO nervous, but glad to see so many of you with successful scans.

I'm not sure I qualify for the whatsapp yet!

Just had my scan. We have a tiny little one, with a nice clear heartbeat ☺️ 🫶🏻

Hey! Hope you don’t mind me joining. I got an early positive 2 days ago 11DPO on a boots and a clear blue digital. This will be my third I have 2 boys 2 and 4 years old 💙 , had a miscarriage end of December so feeling very nervous at the moment! Wishing the next week weeks by.

They said 6w3d I think but by my calculations I’m 7w today so not sure what to go by x they said my EDD is 2nd April x

TheUniqueMember · 13/08/2026 11:25

Congratulations everyone on your scans!!!

I wondered if anybody else has experienced this:

I've started getting skin pigmentation under my armpits again... and I say again because I experienced this in 2023 when I was obese... I assumed it was because of my weight but then I did found out I was pregnant around the same time.

I have never heard of anyone else having this problem during early pregnancy

Hi all, tentatively joining after getting a surprise BFP on Monday. Was planning to start IVF for my 2nd in September so not expected at all. As I’m a bit in disbelief that this is happening, I got my Hcg checked yesterday (3+6) and it came back at 44.8. Not sure if this is a bit low…I’m sure I remember it being higher with my first. Just looking for thoughts and reassurance ♥️

1sttimemummn · 13/08/2026 14:06

@RowsOfFlowers congratulations! ❤️❤️❤️

Thanks so much! Over the moon 😍

RowsOfFlowers · 13/08/2026 16:44

My next step is first midwife appt on 27th Aug, then a private scan on 5th Sept when I’ll be 10 weeks, and then hopefully it’ll be a couple more weeks until 12 week scan … I don’t know about others but time is dragging along for me 😅

I also feel like the wait between 12 week and 20 weeks scan is so long!!

Orchid887 · 13/08/2026 18:51

@RowsOfFlowers- My midwife appointment is the same day and I'll also be getting a 10 week scan.

The first trimester is crawling past at a snails pace!! I will get a 16 week scan too, as you say, 12-20 feels like forever!

Welcome to all the new people and congratulations!

Ah theyre both on same day, that’s nice! Keep us posted how it goes. I’m also considering a 16 or 17 week scan xx

Tinytotdriver · 13/08/2026 21:13

@Orchid887 @RowsOfFlowers I did a gender scan with my LO at 16/17 weeks to break up the wait, as the gap between 12 and 20 feels like a lifetime! I’d definitely do the same again.

But yeah the first trimester is dragging like mad!

I have my 7 week scan tomorrow so fingers crossed all is fine so far! Then it’s just taking it scan by scan 🙏
