I've had 3 BFPs now, getting darker each time, so time to be brave and start a due thread.
My EDD is 20th May and this is my second pregnancy - I have a two year old daughter.
I can't self-refer to the midwives here until I'm 6 weeks so I am twiddling my thumbs for the next couple of weeks (I am 3+6 today.)
Hopefully there'll be lots of people along to join me soon.

Congrats again.
I will probably hang around here as I am presuming mine will be a May baby.

Congratulations to you both - Mrs GB I’ve watched the broken thread for a long time and I’m delighted for you.

I don't know if I feel quite ready to join in just yet. I am very aware that things can go wrong quickly at this early stage.
But I wanted to know at what point I should contact my GP. This is my first. So I have no clue
Oh. And great news that you can continue going to your class Pf2016
Your first booking in appointment should be pre 10 weeks - I can’t really remember when I had my first, I think around 8 weeks. I’ve booked this one in for when I’m about 8 weeks too. With my first I wasn’t sure when I was supposed to book in so rang the docs to ask and the receptionist was well versed in it all and worked it out. So maybe just give your docs a call.
Pf2016 good news about your class!
Im glad you can still do your class @Pf2016 thats great
One more sleep until our viability scan ekkk!
I realised today marks a year since we had our chemical so I just want it to be over and done with, so I can see our little bubs tomorrow (hopefully)
Hope everyone's ok today

Have people told others they are expecting?My best friend knows and I’ll tell parents soon. I think I’m going to need to tell a couple of my friendship groups pre 12 weeks - I’ve got a hen do around 10 weeks with one group so it’ll be obvious why I’m not drinking! Then with my other close friendship group we had a boozy spa day planned and there’s not very much that keeps you out of a hot tub so easier to fess up! And I think I’ll have to change my planned treatments as it was all booked before I found out. I’m close with them all so I don’t mind saying anyway - they’ll be a bit surprised, but then so was I by this pregnancy so when I explain that it’ll make sense! (I have been basically harping on about how we’ll be looking forward to hen do and various wedding nights out etc as we’ve not been out out in ages hence the sudden no drinking would now be way too obvious - I don’t think they’d buy any antibiotics type chat!)
MrsNH We told my sister on the day I got my BFP. And we told my parents and one set of my grandparents two days ago on my Birthday. I also told a friend who is the only one I know personally my age who has been pregnant. And my husband told his best friend. In our opinion if things should go badly, we will need people to talk to anyway. And I rather they share in our joy than just any possible tears.
Also with everything you described it sounds like your friends would get suspicious quite easily.
I am still really really nervous and scared that my pregnancy won't last. I tested in the morning on my birthday two days ago. And again this morning. And the lines are getting slightly stronger. But not by as much as I hoped they would. I also did a clearblue test this morning and it put me at 1-2 weeks. I am CD35 today, so I was really hoping to get a 2-3weeks.
I also keep getting very cold in the evening. So cold I need to sleep with a jumper. Which I find so odd. I have had the odd weird taste in my mouth, some cramping and a stronger sense of smell.
But I don't have sore boobs or nipples anymore. Or the nausea I experienced last weekend. In fact yesterday I didn't feel pregnant at all.
Since this morning though I have a really odd sensation in my uterus. It is not really cramps. It is more like someone is stabbing a stick in one specific point. But it is quite a dull pain.
Anyway I am really anxious. I really hope my bean will stick.
One from my birthday two days ago
And the one from this morning
Do you ladies see line progression?
also if it helps I never had any symptoms in my first pregnancy and I’m not having any in this one - the biggest one I had with both was simply needing a wee more often and being more tired! First time I was a bit worried as it meant I didn’t feel pregnant at all, but this time round I’m relaxed because it also meant no nausea or sickness etc and a very straightforward pregnancy and I’ll take that. I did have a bit of cramping the other week too, but I’m pretty sure that’s quite normal in the early days whilst everything is bedding in so to speak so try not to worry too much. I know that is hard though xxx
Dandelion, feeling cold is one of the symptoms I get! I remembered it from last time and ok definitely feeling it now in the evening. Also passing out on the sofa every evening. Your line progression looks great to me. I think those clear blue digis are notorious for being slow to get to 2-3 weeks, that's also post conception not since CD1 so I wouldn't worry about that.
I hope you are right MrsPope and that I will have a fairly straightforward pregnancy like you. Have started reading through all the due threads and catching up on your journey. I couldn't always face reading them whilst we were still ttc. Although I did pop in once in a while.
MrsNH17 We are definitely considering an early scan. I keep getting anxious about blighted ovums, missed miscarriages and molar pregnancies. So I think an early scan would really help with my anxiety. I will look into it this week.
You only get your first scan with the NHS at 12 weeks right?
I have read quite a fee times that some cramping at the start is normal. As long as it isn't really intense. So fingers crossed that this pregnancy will be as symptom free for you as your last one.
Haha Pf2016 I bet your friend would have bern confused about the Pilates teacher paying you extra attention, if you hadn't told her.
I am also an over sharer. Do you parents know?
It is a difficult one with your friend who is ttc and struggling. I do think part of her will be upset even if she is really happy for you. It's more of a sorrow for herself. But I think it would be much more painful.for her to find out you kept it secret from her.
I am so glad you also get the shivers in the evening. I was worried it might indicate a problem.with my thyroid. But I have been doing some research and it seems to be fairly common, if not typically talked about.
I am thinking we conceived later than I originally thought and that I am still in week 4. But I plan to test again with a digital next week.
We returned from our trip today. I set the alarm off on the scanner at the airport and they wanted me to go through one of those modern ones. But I heard they can be bad for bean. So I told the lady I was pregnant and she gave me a pat down.
I called my GP this morning. And they told me that I had to self-refer to the midwives. So I did that straight after. Apparently I will hear back within the next two weeks. Seems such a long wait lol.
We then arrived home, to find my mum sent me a lovely book on pregnancy by Lennart Nilsson. And one for my husband on going through pregnancy as a man. Lol
Most people won't understand the pain I am going through right. Because to most people it is just a fish. But to me it is like someone killed my dog. Except that I should have changed his water last night. So it is my fault. I killed him. The guilt and sorrow hurts so bad.
I had a panick attack this morning. And I know it isn't good for the baby. But I couldn't help it. And it keeps bubbling up. I don't know how to calm myself down. I can't lose my baby too
Your baby isn't sharing your blood stream yet so they're blissfully unaware of all the stress hormones floating around. I have been mega stressed worrying about how my pregnancy will affect my work. Baby is none the wiser and neither is yours!
Take some deep breaths. There is literally nothing you can do to control whether this pregnancy works out or not. It's out of your hands. Take each day as it comes...it won't be long until you can get an early scan and that will at least give you some idea of how it's going. In the meantime... focus on your job, take lots of walks, baths, breath and try not to dwell on it too much.
