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!

I’m feeling more nauseous today but also have some backache and mild cramps. Trying not to think the worst but I really do hate this part of pregnancy!

lm1986 · 02/11/2026 18:31

Hi, coming cautiously in just got my positive digital after a faint line earlier today! I unfortunately have had 3 chemicals one on May one in August and one in september so very cautious! I have 3 boys my eldest is 18 next month and the others are 13 and 15! Think me and hubby might be hard but hope so much thia one sticks as I said one last go and here I am!! Look forward to chatting! Xxx

Joining from a TTC thread, just had 2-3 show on digital and line progressing on cheaper tests... at what point do I stop obsessively taking tests?? this is my first time having positive tests so all completley new to me and no idea truly of what to expect with everything!

FirstTimeMama27 · 03/11/2026 05:23

Morning all,

catching up on the thread sooo many good news. Got everything crossed for us all. huge congratulations to all the new mama’s joining the group.

im testing daily as this is my first like many of you been trying for years.

question - ive done a digital test and its saying 2-3 weeks but i thought I would be 3+ weeks as i got 2-3 weeks on 24th or 25th October and should be 5 weeks 1 day today. Do I start to panic that something is wrong?

Have a fab day all

LavenderSweetPea · 03/11/2026 08:16

@FirstTimeMama27 it's funny you should say that, I've done a few digitals hoping for a 3+ and I'm still stuck at 2-3. I've been doing the cheapy tests as well, and they're getting steadily darker. I've attached a pic, they last one was yesterday at 5+3. I did a digital from the same pee and still 2-3. I'd try not to worry about it, the weeks on the digitals are only about 70% accurate if you read the leaflet that comes with them.

I've been booked in for my first scan at the EPU on Monday. Honestly I'm so nervous, I find just being there so triggering.

Due July 2027

@FirstTimeMama27
I wouldn't worry about the weeks display on the digitals, it could be any day that you go over the threshold for the upper result. I'm not testing anymore as I find it just feeds anxiety and I already had enough of that TTC. There really isn't much you can do to affect the pregnancy either way in first trimester, it's down to the embryo really.

Has anyone experienced an upset stomach while in the first few weeks? Mine's been upset especially first thing in the morning since about the time of implantation, not sure if it's coincidence but definitely unusual for me.

Saintsgirl7 · 03/11/2026 09:25

I never got a 3+ with DS, so I wouldn't put pressure on it.
Testing repeatedly proves nothing, you still test positive for up to 3 weeks post miscarriage, even after surgery.
Same with scans, they're reassuring at that point in time only, we went for one at 10 weeks last time as I was having a private nipt test, by the time we got to our 12 week NHS scan baby had died.

FirstTimeMama27 · 03/11/2026 09:50

@LavenderSweetPea @Maomee @Saintsgirl7

thank you sooo much. Anxiety is less crazy. I test daily (all still very dark) as it keeps my anxiety down. And I do the digital once a week.

I also woke up with spotting just with wiping and once. So I think my brain went into overdrive. Plus my bloated is more moderate as before it was extreme. Spoke to my mum and I feel so much more calmer.

I’ve got a GP appointment on Thursday see what they say or refer me too. Then booking a private early scan next week as I fly following week to go to South Africa for two weeks so just want to know I don’t have an Ectopic pregnancy.

lm1986 · 03/11/2026 10:34

I got a positive yesterday but does this seem faint if period due tomorrow? Not first wee of day!

Due July 2027
MochaLove · 03/11/2026 15:12

Congratulations to everyone with new BFPs ☺️

@Maomee I had a little bit of an upset stomach around the time I tested positive. I thought I wouldn’t be pregnant because I think constipation is a way more common symptom. Then I remembered I had a bit of an upset stomach at the start with my first pregnancy too.

@lm1986 How many dpo are you? I would be optimistic! My 14dpo test I thought was quite faint, but a week later it’s really dark now.

LucyCL · 03/11/2026 20:12

I would like to join please. Today is 14 dpo of the 10th cycle of ttc’ing baby no.2 and I got a faint line this morning. The due date is 8/7/27. I had 1 early MC and a CP in 2024 before I got pregnant with my first. I was feeling really anxious for the first two weeks back then. This time I am going to embrace everything and enjoy this pregnancy journey without worrying about the potential of having a MC. Would like to join a WhatsApp group for July 2027 babies if there is one.

dewymoon · 03/11/2026 23:10

@lm1986 that test looks fine to me. I didn't test positive until about 14dpo and my test was similar to that even with fmu. Now 5+1 and the lines are really dark :)

lm1986 · 04/11/2026 07:35

Thanks today is such a worrying day for me as my period due date which last 3 times I have started bleeding on! I dont think ill stop stressing the whole pregnancy!

Roo89x · 05/11/2026 08:16

Hiya!
i hope it’s okay to join this group, I joined one from here on my first pregnancy and made the best friends!
I got my BFP on Sunday (was very shocked but happy!)
due 10th of July according to my last period.
Hows everyone feeling? I’m so bloated and uncomfortable and quite anxious this time round for some reason. X

lm1986 · 05/11/2026 08:38

I definitely feel bloated most days which is really unusual for me as I don't usually bloat. I'm also starting to get noticeable little pains in my boobs now. This is my first pregnancy so it's all new to me..hope you're managing to keep your anxiety in check.

lm1986 · 05/11/2026 10:12

Stressing even more as period was due yesterday did a clearblue a minute ago and it still says 1-2! Having had 3 chemicals in last 5 months this has panicked me!

LavenderSweetPea · 09/11/2026 13:51

Just bumping this up to the top of the pregnancy board so more July mamas can find us as they get their positives!

Hi ladies! Currently 6 weeks 2 days and a very anxious mummy! This is my 7th pregnancy but I only have one baby in my arms and she is ivf. This is a wee natural miracle (as im 41!) first scan booked next week as I need to see what’s going on. With such a horrible history, I need some control! Due date July 5th ❤️🎉

HelloDarknessmyoldfrenemy · 09/11/2026 18:07

Hello! Very tentatively joining as only 11 dpo today but got a BFP this morning! Really hoping this sticks after trying for 11 months! A bit worried that having been on antibiotics for the past week it will have messed things up. Prospective due date 22nd July! Nice to see so many familiar names from the conception boards 😊

Thank you! ☺️ It really is so amazing to finally graduate to a “Due in” thread. Will join WhatsApp maybe tomorrow, after I’ve tested with a digital and seen the words!

It really was a very lucky group @LavenderSweetPea ! It’s so nice so many have made it to the pregnancy board instead of just being stuck on conception board forever 😂 After 11 months it was a bit like ground hog dog! So pleased to be due in July with you!! How are you feeling? How far on are you now?
