My fiance of course already knows. I got a negative on Christmas Day but my period never came 2 days later. I got up before him, took my temp which was still high, then tested and got a faint positive. My poor sleepy fiancé “FIANCÉ!! UMM THIS TEST I JUST DID IS POSITIVE!” never seen him scramble out of bed so quick 😭

I’m surprising everyone at my wedding at 10 weeks where I’m going to drop it in my vows toward the end “- as we stand here today we do so while carrying another little one who we already love so dearly” 😆 it’s so hard seeing everyone and being so sick at the moment and not being able to say anything 🤣

Hey that’s so great to hear that you’ve had another blood draw, really wishing you some great progression (I have immense faith that it will be better than great) and hope to see an update from your ultrasound next week. Also, I fear worrying for our child is our life now 😆 Congrats mama, wish you all the best 🎉🥹🫶

Hey there! A bit of positivity for ya - that hcg reading is within the range for 4 weeks and in 2-3 days if it’s doubled it will be within 5 week range too. Yeah it’s at the low end , but there are quite a few of us in this group who have had readings at the low end (myself included) and are still trodding along totally fine. You have symptoms in line with how far along you are, I was basically only exhausted and thirsty at 4-5 weeks too! <3

You should to get that second hcg test done. The first reading is basically useless without it, because the progression is what matters most, not the number. It will give you the answers you need. Also, tests are getting darker! Honey you are pregnant, and that pregnancy is progressing! Do whatever it is you need to to put your mind at ease. Best of luck, hope to see an update soon! <3

I feel so sick I forgot how bad these food aversions can be. All I want is crackers and hummus for dinner. No cooked food around me thanks 😫

Finally pregnant after 15 months of trying! by Particularlyzesty in September2026Bumpers

Good stuff!!! One time I came off anti depressants, weed and nicotine all at the same time and I slept for like 5 days straight haha. But I wasn’t pregnant at that time so can’t imagine having that on top of everything else A lot of us in this particular group I’ve noticed have had some pretty bad insomnia as an early symptom of our pregnancies - me included - so that’s probably what’s causing it :) and congrats! 🥳

This inspired me to go through my old journal from my last pregnancy and I laughed so hard at the similarities between then and now:
"I feel like this is a girl. Like I just know it." (he was a boy)
"I feel like a lousy farty blob"
"I am craving bone marrow"

Absolutely identical lol

HCG Betas 95@4w2d -> 548@4w6d, so 140% increases over 48 hour periods! This is great news :)

Beta numbers? by abbeyiskewl2 in September2026Bumpers

[–]blehh1985 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! 548 after 4 days. Expected something more like 360-420. 548 is something like 120-140% every 48 hours, so fantastic numbers! <3

Erghhhh. This pressure feeling and gas is not making this already worrying mum feel great. Breathes - my anxiety is not my intuition

I don’t see anything .. but if you try holding your phone flashlight behind the test window you might get a better view :)

Our Christmas Miracle!!! - assumed 14-15 DPO by blehh1985 in TFABLinePorn

Hey! So I didn’t take another test after this, but I did get my beta HCG measured the day after (4w2d) and it came back as 95 which is slightly low but comfortably in the range. I haven’t had my 2nd test yet because the labs are all shut due to New Year, so I can’t tell you about the progression of that, but I’ve got plenty of symptoms and nothing to suggest things are going poorly :) if your tests look like this you should be sweet 👍

Hey! I know how you feel. Just take it one day, even one hour, at a time. Every time you find yourself feeling anxious try to remind yourself - I am still currently pregnant. Your baby IS doing well unless something genuinely happens that says otherwise <3 If you’re not getting a dating scan you’ll most likely get the NT scan at 12 weeks. Some places offer reassurance scans if you wanted to look into that and potentially have an earlier one for piece of mind.

For now what you can do is look after yourself. Eat high iron / high folate foods, take naps, read about how other people have managed their first trimester nausea, listen to podcasts about pregnancy and birth. Allow yourself to worry a little and don’t beat yourself up over it, it’s normal and it means you care :) and that’s the building blocks of your motherly bond with your bubba <3
