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 did exactly the same with a clear blue digi 2-3 weeks too!

Thanks @LemonCheesecake95 for the WhatsApp group!

@Babybuns26 I'm so sorry about your previous loss, that would of course be sending the anxiety sky high at the moment.

I tested again yesterday before we told my ILs but not really learning anything new from the tests I guess. My midwife appt feels soo early, about 6.5 weeks? Though they now have an app for your pre-booking form which is so much better than last time! Last time it was a very confusing phone appointment with lots of questions I wasn't prepared to answer like the medical history of my husband's extended family. Then I brought him to the 1h booking appt and he was so bored, no reason for him to be there!

Last time the midwife got my ethnicity wrong on the phone appointment and I had a few further appointments where the person thought the wrong patient had come in as a result 😂 so at least the app avoids that this time! I wonder if it means I won't have a paper booklet to bring with me everywhere I go this time?

I got my 3+ weeks on a CB digi today, which I only took because I got caught on the hook effect! The one step cheapies started getting lighter. Cue total panic, but when diluted 50% with water, they went back to blazing positives.

@beeble347- is it badger notes? I got mine sent through today, though no appt yet. Though the pre booking questionnaire doesn't seem to scroll further than the TB test sooo not sure I can finish it. Think it does mean no booklet for us now!

I would love to join the WhatsApp group, but feel I’d like to wait until 12weeks if that’s ok? Feeling quite nervous in first trimester 💕

Orchid887 · 02/08/2026 19:28

Of course @RowsOfFlowers!!

Hi, sent a request for the WhatsApp group. Had a very very faint positive during the day and very faint this evening. Very early for me but feeling quite hopeful. Think edd is 17th April for me

Hey! Yeah bloated and some nausea so far. Otherwise just so tired and HOT. Been able to eat okay so far so trying to get in things like eggs (could barely touch them at all when pregnant with my son) while I can.

Also is baby brain a thing yet or just me? Lost my phone in the house this morning while getting us both ready for the nursery run 🤡

RowsOfFlowers · 03/08/2026 10:11

A bit bloated and gassy… no nausea as of yet, just extremely sore boobs (my god) having to wear a non wired bra all the time, even to bed!! and very, very tired… been going to sleep between 8:30-9:30pm most evenings 🙈 💤

CasualOverthinker · 03/08/2026 12:55

Hey girlies, how can I be added to this whatsapp group you’re all talking about? Have I missed something? 🙈

TheUniqueMember · 03/08/2026 14:19

I don't feel any symptoms at the moment other than stretching sensations in my stomach

Yes, I’ve felt those. Very subtle though.

Hi everyone!
Joining this thread as not completely sure on dates and am likely to be due late March/Early April
I have a 4 year old already and can’t believe how exhausted I feel this time compared to last!
It’s lovely to see such an active thread already!

Welcome! Gosh yeah parenting while pregnant really takes it out of you doesn't it! I have such rose tinted glasses now on my first pregnancy even though I had a lot of nausea and sickness and was working full time - I look back and am so jealous of my unlimited naps 😂

Hey! Welcome! I have a freshly-turned 4 year old too! We had a really busy fun weekend and I ended up falling asleep in her bed last night while I was reading her a book for bedtime, so the tiredness here is real too! 🫠🙈

Orchid887 · 03/08/2026 22:51

Another one over here with a 4 year old who's often asleep in her chair far before the child drops off!!

Can I ask what supplements everyone uses taking? I am taking 400iu of vitamin d and folic acid. Do we take these the whole pregnancy or just up to 12 weeks?

I am taking a pregnancy prenatal, which has the folic acid and everything else you need in it. Last time I was taking Proceive. This time around I’m taking the one by Wild Nutrition. I believe you want to take it throughout, I started a month or two before I knew we’d want to start trying, throughout pregnancy and because the current one I take is for pregnancy and postpartum, I’ll probably continue it during the first 3-4 months after birth too.

Thank you 😊 I have been taking both a couple of months before conceiving as well. I used to take some wild nutrition supplements. I think I like taking them separately atm as I know exactly what’s in it if that makes sense and the strength as that’s what my clinic recommended to me. I am sure I read folic acid can be stopped at 12 weeks tho but not sure. I’ll ask my clinic when I next see them!

greenshirt06 · 04/08/2026 14:36

I'm taking Wild Nutrition - fully blame/ give credit to their fertility supplements for it happening on the first try 😅

TheUniqueMember · 04/08/2026 16:09

I'm taking 400ug folic acid. I was never recommend vitamin D for my first pregnancy? That's why I haven't been taking that.

3+ on my pregnancy test 🥰 5 weeks today.
