Hello lovely ladies, well today i got my BFP. My period was 8 days late.
Is it normal to have slight period type aches? Im sure i did with my 2nd DD but that was 7 years ago now so I've forgotten
Also I did 2 clear blue tests, one came up with 1-2 weeks but the one i did this morning said 2-3 weeks?? Which one do I go off? I have used a due date calculator and it says to enter the first day of your last period ( mine was 16th Nov ) and that shows that I'm 5 weeks and 1 day?? soooo confused. can anyone help, I just want to know how far along I am?? lol xxx

Congrats! I totally felt AF like cramps and still do occasionally at 6w. A due date calc of 5 weeks would be 3 weeks on the digi test, by lmp calculation the first 2 weeks is before ovulation (I think this is such a weird concept) but the digi measures hcg based on actual conception date I believe.

Your hcg can vary a little due to time of day and dilution. Do you know when you Od?

When I did that it said to enter the first day of my last period which was 16th Nov so I'm Exactly 1 week in front of you. I'm 5 weeks 1 day. Lol. I have two daughters already ( 7 and 12 ) I'm terrified that I'm too old now as I'll be 37 when baby is born xxx

Not feeling too bad but I've started bleeding slightly. Only very very light and it's pink not red so I'm hoping that it's just implantation bleeding. It's only when I go for a wee and wipe. Sorry... Tmi. How are you? Xx

 

[Catmumof4]

Not tmi OMG have it stopped now?? Xxx
