I don't think anyone has started a thread yet, so starting this one for everyone getting their BFPs for a July baby. I got a positive on Sunday at 10dpo so I'm probably due 1st July!

Hey everyone and congratulations! I tested positive yesterday at CD28 (didn't track ovulation) which was a shock as it's month 2 and took longer last time. Due 5th July by last period. So excited!
Only the small matter that I'm currently being made redundant to get through 😂
I'm so bloated at 4 weeks though that I already can't wear jeans, tell me it's not just me!

Congratulations! That’s 3 of us so far with 5th of July as our due date 😆
Sorry about your redundancy, that must be a little bit stressful!
Not loads of bloating for me yet but I remember that well, not looking forward to that!

Bumblebeemee · 27/10/2026 22:05

Congrats @dewymoon! 5th July must be a lucky date 😂

I put jeans on today and they were pretty snug, I’m on holiday until Sunday so obviously a limited wardrobe too which isn’t looking good.

Still can’t really believe I’m pregnant tbh, I don’t feel pregnant but I don’t know if I’m just trying not to get attached. I was so excited for my last pregnancy after 2 difficult births and it feels like the MC has taken that joy away a bit. I worked out today though that my 12 week scan should be Christmas week, will be lovely to share with family if all goes smoothly.

FirstTimeMama27 · 28/10/2026 05:21

@dewymoon congrats! Very exciting. Love how the group is growing.

@Bumblebeemee This is wild - I’m also due 5th July so that makes 4 of us now 😂.

This weekend is my birthday and my partner planned to take me away for wine tasting which is now off the books. So, I’ll be watching him 😂.

Im constantly bloated - but worse at night. You would think I’m way more than 4 weeks. I’m drinking more water than ever. I’ve been exercising as I love the gym. So I’m hoping that will help.

LavenderSweetPea · 28/10/2026 15:24

@dewymoon sorry to hear about your redundancy, that's really stressful :( are you going to look for something else? I went through redundancy last year, horrible time tbh.

Can't believe you all have the same 5 July due date except me! How left out am I 😂

In all seriousness though I'm so excited for having more of us on the group!

I'm crazy and I did another digital with the weeks indicator. I'm not 3+ until tomorrow but I really wanted to see the 3+. Sadly it was still showing 2-3 so what a waste of money 😂like a crazy lady though I cracked open the tests to compare it to the 2-3 one I took on Saturday to see if the lines were darker and fortunately they definitely were darker today, and I'm still doing the cheap premom tests every other day which are getting darker too. Why do I do this to myself! I didn't do this at all in my last pregnancy.

Can I tentatively join please?
Got a very faint positive this evening after drinking 3l of water, af due Friday.
I've had 2 missed miscarriages since DS was born in Dec 23, so I'm hoping this one wants to stay!

LavenderSweetPea · 28/10/2026 20:33

Welcome @Saintsgirl7 fingers crossed this is third time lucky for you! We'll have the same age gap between our kids, my son was born Jan24.

What have you calculated your due date to be?

Technically it's my 5th! Had an MMC before DS too!
Due 8th July, which is quite frustrating as were supposed to be going to Cornwall end of June beginning of July and I'll be having an elective section!
Oddly I have my first appt with the recurrent miscarriage clinic tomorrow! I had progesterone with my last 2 but it didn't help.

LavenderSweetPea · 29/10/2026 08:17

@Saintsgirl7 hope your appointment goes well today. Maybe there's something else they can do for you apart from progesterone

OP posts:
Saintsgirl7 · 29/10/2026 08:37

@LavenderSweetPea thanks, who knows! Let's hope so! Starting aspirin today too. Sadly progesterone is the only thing I don't have left from the last pregnancy, but it's still on my repeat prescriptions so I've put in a request.

abc123ttc · 29/10/2026 10:07

Hello, hoping I can join here! I had a chemical pregnancy (first pregnancy) August 25 and I’ve just had my 2nd positive on Thursday last week. I’m 6 weeks today. I started getting brown blood last Friday (only v small amounts when wiping) this turned red on Tuesday but only twice when wiping and now it’s gone brown again. Has anyone had a similar situation? Usually once red it stays red but not seen anything about it going back brown. Very nervous given the last chemical x

Congratulations! Sorry about your miscarriages. My daughter was also born Dec 23, and I’ve had one early loss since TTC…I didn’t anticipate how anxious I’d feel this time because of it.

I have just made a post of what I’m thinking are positive tests but unsure would love peoples opinions and thoughts. If I am, I’ll be due July 15th ish I believe!

LavenderSweetPea · 29/10/2026 18:13

@Emiliaelizabeth I've been to look at your other post, the tests all look positive to me!

@abc123ttc try not worry too much (I know, easier said than done!) a little bit of bleeding can be normal, especially if it's not getting worse that's encouraging

Thank you, sorry to hear about your loss.
How are you finding the (almost) threenager stage?!
I try not to stress as it's not going to help and I can't control anything do I may as well try to enjoy it!

OrangeRainbow · 30/10/2026 15:56

Hi all, I’m joining the thread. Had my first positive on the 18th October at 8DPO, worked out my due date would be around 3rd July. I have a 14 month old so the age gap will be 22 months. Lines have continued to get darker so I’m hoping all will be well, I think I’ll have a private scan in a few weeks.

I’m already feeling very rough for not even 5 weeks! I didn’t even have any symptoms at all at this point with my first

Thank you. Absolutely terrible if I’m honest 😂 I’m hoping by the time the baby is here, we will be having a few less tantrums because they are very frequent at the moment! How about you?
You are so right, it’s definitely peaks and troughs with how I’m feeling. Trying to remain positive now my test line is finally getting a bit darker!

I agree, it's bloody hard! The constant no's and tantrums and trying not to react!! I feel your pain!
I'm going to test again in a few days, just ordered some different tests.

Bumblebeemee · 01/11/2026 11:11

Ooh congratulations and welcome to the new people. Nice to see the group growing!

We got home from our trip away at 4am this morning, I’m dead.

2-3 on a digital this morning, I never got a 3+ on my last pregnancy so not surprised. No real symptoms except total exhaustion which could also be blamed on a busy week and lots of travel. Still feeling a bit disconnected from it this time round, hoping once I get a scan it’ll feel more real.

It's so hard until you actually see something isn't it?! I never got a 3+ with ds so I wouldn't read too much into it.
I haven't even got the exhaustion test, but still have all the other symptoms!

Maomee · 01/11/2026 17:38

Congratulations everyone! Just joining from the various TTC threads I've been on for longer than I'd have liked haha. But very happy to finally be here!
We got our first BFP a few days ago after trying for around 13 cycles. Last month I had a hycosy which is what helped us I believe.
From a due date calculator it seems I will be due 6th July,, not quite the 5th but not far off!

LavenderSweetPea · 01/11/2026 20:10

@Maomee and @OrangeRainbow welcome, I think we were both on the same TTC thread!

Honestly the pregnancy exhaustion is kicking my ass right now. I know part of it is because I'm also dealing with a newly threenager too who likes to challenge me but honestly I don't remember feeling this tired last time round. How long does this last for?!

Hi everyone! I can’t believe i’m joining this thread and i’m still in disbelief. We’ve been TTC for 6 years and went through IVF. Our 1st transfer failed, currently on our 2nd transfer and we tested yesterday and it was postive! In shock and just so worried. 5years ago I fell pregnant naturally but miscarried at 6weeks and never fell since - trying not to spiral but I’m hoping this one sticks around 🙏 Im
worried the tests are too light but will try and keep as postive as possible!

cmg91 · 01/11/2026 21:46

Had a positive at 9dpo! I’m now 16dpo. Due date is 9th July. I’m trying to remain calm and positive. We had a chemical in March 2025, conceived twin boys in August but they came prematurely in December at 22 weeks.

Feeling blessed we are pregnant again but so nervous! 🌈

That's amazing, congratulations! I can't imagine how hard it must have been trying for so long. Fingers crossed for all of us here early in our pregnancies.

Sorry about your past struggles, here's hoping everything goes swimmingly this time. I am a bit nervous but trying to let myself my hopeful and enjoy it.
