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!

To add to @beeble347... I am one of those who's had a full (and significant) bleed. Had right sided pain and sent to A&E. Scan showed a happy healthy pregnancy and my little girl is almost 5 now!
And yes! The hook effect. Further on it can go the other way and make them lighter. I also got caught by that.

So sorry for the stress @ThisNoisyLemur as @Orchid887 said, pregnancies can be so different can't they! I tested positive last time at what I thought was 11dpo but having calculated how my due date got adjusted once I had my scans, I was actually about 17dpo at the time. My lines then were stronger than at this point now but I'm not as far along.

I also remember obsessively testing last time and panicking my line was getting fainter, but apparently as your HCG gets stronger it can be a bit much for the tests and show up less. Idk that's what research/Mumsnet told me last time and toddler is healthy and happy.

I know more than one person who had bleeding during their otherwise extremely healthy and boring pregnancies. One is a colleague who told me about being pregnant and finding a handprint sized blood stain while at work - her DS is now in his last year at uni.

Thank you for your reassurance @Orchid887and @beeble347❤️ keeping my fingers crossed!

Thinking of you too, such an exciting but worrying time. Sorry to hear of your loss @Orchid887,that must just add to so much worry for you ❤️

Sending super baby powers to everyone xxx

15DPO, progression is looking good on the cheapies and I got a 2-3 weeks on a digital this morning. Period due today so apps are showing 4+1, still getting twinges on one side which I’m trying not to read into. My boobs are suddenly very veiny and my sense of smell is through the roof so I’m hoping all this means it’s a sticky bean. I’ve booked a scan for 7 weeks so I have a bit more reassurance before telling my parents, then I’ll probably blab to everyone else too.

Hope everyone is hanging in there!

keeping everything crossed for you! Count down til the scan!

Orchid887 · 26/07/2026 20:04

I'm another in the early scan group! 17 days and counting, 5 weeks today!

@greenshirt06- feeling very sick! And the food aversions are intense. All the bread smells mouldy which is upsetting.

Am I the only one who doesn’t have any symptoms yet?

Orchid887 · 26/07/2026 20:28

How far along are you @TiffanyBlythe?
It's quite common to not have any symptoms at this stage. With my daughter I felt absolutely nothing until the day I turned 6 weeks. I have had hyperemesis in both previous pregnancies and it seems to start earlier each time. Which is likely why the food aversions are so strong!

Not exactly sure of my dates as this was my first full cycle postpartum and I think I ovulated a week later than usual. Either 4 or 4.5 weeks. I can’t even remember when I got symptoms with my daughter but I remember always being worried about the lack of symptoms so nothing new haha

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

We are going to end up in the exact same bump group again if these early pregnancies work out 😆
Congratulations! ✨

Omg no way! Are you in my June baby group 🙈

TheUniqueMember · 27/07/2026 12:47

Line progression 😊 ♥️

I never had this "testing problem" with my dd 🤣 but that's because I was 6+ when I found out I was pregnant. So it's certainly nice to have planned it this time 😅

PumpkinPieFairy · 27/07/2026 14:04

No symptoms here! I’m 4 weeks 4 days based on LMP. Don’t even have the sore boobs I had last time, but I’m breastfeeding this time round so I guess the hormones are different!

Just picked up progesterone prescription - I took it in my one successful pregnancy so felt like I should again. Such a faff to take though 😂

Bumblebeemee · 27/07/2026 14:20

I filled in my self-referral for the midwife last night and I’ve got my appointment for booking in already! I can’t believe how quickly they processed it. I’ll be 11+4, feels ages away.

Oh wow, that was quick of them!

I'm only 3w+6d, so I'm not sure when I should do a self-referral.

Great! Were you 6 days or weeks when you found out last time? Friend of mine found out about her surprise baby at 5+ months!

I’ve just been given my progesterone prescription too gonna pick it up later today!

I looked back at my apps and I was 6 weeks based on LMP!

Wow that's crazy how that happens with no symptoms(?). My partners' friend gave birth not long ago and they didn't realise they were pregnant until 6/7 months.

Orchid887 · 27/07/2026 17:25

I agree with the progesterone faff. I've been on it since 5 days before transfer, three times a day. Never my favourite!

Just found out I am pregnant! Very early though at 9DPO. This is however my 6th pregnancy with my previous 5 ending in losses all before 8 weeks. My latest loss being only in April. Feeling very nervous and apprehensive but just want to live in the moment and try not to worry!

I’m 1 day behind you! 🥰 I always registered my pregnancies when I first found out but I am going to wait until 6 weeks to process mine. I was told my district don’t look at them until about 7.5 weeks anyway x

Bubblegu04 · 27/07/2026 17:36

Congratulations to everyone finding out 🥳
I had progesterone in my last pregnancy due to previous miscarriages but don’t know if they’ll give it to me this time as my last pregnancy was successful. Don’t even know who I’d contact for it this time, does it need to come from a hospital, midwife or fertility clinic or could a GP prescribe it?

I contacted my GP today and just said I was given progesterone in my last pregnancy due to my miscarriage history. Do I need it this time? I just found out I’m pregnant and they gave it to me

Same as @TiffanyBlythe - I just asked my GP for it and they prescribed it!

I did wonder if they’d want me to have a scan before they would prescribe, but apparently not 😂

@PumpkinPieFairy yes how are you finding it while breastfeeding? I am too! Trying to gently wean but I feel like my toddler might know somehow, he's started comfort feeding soo much the last almost week or so. My boobs are a bit sore but they're also getting hammered most days 😂

I've let my GP know today, I'm 4 weeks +3 today but I have hypothyroidism so they have to increase my medication immediately. It usually is a wait to be seen though, last time I think my first appointment was over the phone and I was maybe 7/8 weeks then nothing in person until 11w, though we did go on holiday (lots of morning sickness, I don't recommend) in between which delayed things.
