Think I'm officially in the tww now 🥳🥳 hooray. Now to see if I can get a lp above 10 days 🤨

@Annny27 totally acceptable to get a paddling pool!

@scrumdiddly123 good to hear from you! Glad so far everything's going well. Good luck for your scan next week - I have everything crossed it will be a positive outcome for you 🤞

Annny27 · 08/08/2020 16:13

@Babyghirl thats good :) nice to be past ovulation!

No symptoms at all but even if i did, it would be from the progesterone so no point even analysing it haha!

Just trying to enjoy this blisteringly hot day. Is it acceptable for adults to buy a paddling pool because i am tempted haha

Evening ladies, just checking in with you all, it’s weird not logging onto this thread every day! Hope everyone is well 😊
I’m 5 weeks today based on LMP but a couple of days behind that based on OV. I have a scan booked at EPU when I’m 6 weeks so just plodding along until then- trying to stay calm and not get ahead of myself! X

Babyghirl · 07/08/2020 09:22

@Annny27

Babyghirl · 07/08/2020 09:16

@Annny27

Fizzl · 07/08/2020 09:02

@Leok83 and @Annny27 my body is just tricking us all 😂 opk's are darker this morning and now my app thinks they are peak! I've just broken it to my poor DH that he's not out of the woods yet and I've not done with him 😆 he jokingly used the words used and abused (and then I just read this thread, so definitely how my husbands feeling).

Thanks for the reassurance about the aspirin! And you're definitely right about it potentially causing problems if people don't know you're taking it. My surgery had to be postponed for almost a week as they needed to let the aspirin get out of my system to prevent too much blood loss. So definitely be cautious and speak to your doctor if you're thinking of taking it.

Annny27 · 07/08/2020 08:47

Morning girls :D

@fizzl exactlt what @Leok83 says if you genuinely need it then they can prescribe the correct amounts so I wouldnt stress about it :)

@fizzl sometimes my surges are suped short! So yayy we are in the tww together :D

@SunnySideUp2020 yes I soooooo want to join you all 😭😭😭💗💗💗

@Babyghirl our poor other halfs are used and abused during fertile week 🤣🤣

Leok83 · 06/08/2020 23:23

@Fizzl yay for ovulation! Hopefully that was definitely it and you'll now enter the joyous TWW!
I've been put on aspirin 100mg now too and progesterone due to having 2 previous losses even though my bloods all came back normal for clotting issues. They seem to do it as a precaution anyways despite the results.
A low dose aspirin is safe (as long as it has been prescribed) to baby..the effects on baby such as heart problems are seen with higher dose aspirin which is definitely not recommended!

For anyone thinking of getting their own aspirin from chemist though I definitely wouldn't take it unprescribed as first of all you would need to know you don't have any clotting disorders (as in can't clot rather than a tendency to throw clots) as this would be very dangerous then. Also when they have prescribed it for you that will be taken into consideration at all visits in future and it would be important for your midwife to know you are taking it. And unless it's prescribed I can't imagine they will be happy to let you keep taking it. Lastly you will need to know when to come off it too and that will be decided by the doctors.

Fizzl · 06/08/2020 19:30

Well I think my opk's peaked late morning which seemed to come from nowhere. And oddly since then they've been a lot lighter which would mean my peak only lasted a few hours. So now I'm wondering if this is a slow rise for me this month and I've not peaked yet?!Time will tell...

I have to take aspirin from a positive test now. With my last pregnancy it was from 6 weeks and obviously that didn't end well (although probably unrelated to my blood) so this time I've been told as a precaution to take aspirin from positive test and then I'll be on blood thinning injections from 6 weeks this time. But I do have a minor blood clotting disorder. I've never been told about there being any risks to the baby from aspirin though which is worrying! I thought it was totally safe - I'm not going to google as I will work myself into a frenzy and for me the risks of not taking it probably outweigh taking it 😬. But definitely don't self-medicate! I think there is some possible evidence to suggest if you take it before a BFP it can prevent implantation but I don't know for sure.

SunnySideUp2020 · 06/08/2020 14:26

Hahah @Annny27 glad to hear the boots (or books 📚) are reacting to the progesterone! Will definitely help in the event of a fertilised egg trying to nest!!
Fingers crossed !!!!!!!!
You MUST join the other side 😬

Babyghirl · 06/08/2020 13:59

@Annny27

I had the pain last nite on my rightside, I know the pain can be before during or after ovulation so hoping I had it yesterday and ovulation is happening today woke poor oh up for his sleep to fit another session in 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 but to make it look good his football top was out today so went and treated him lol💚💚

Annny27 · 06/08/2020 13:26

Afternoon :)

@sunnysideup2020 4dpo today and the boobs (and boots;)) are heavy so the progesterone has kicked in for sure! Good advise around self medicating, I would also advise against it unless your doctor has said so :D how are you feeling?

@babyghirl sounds like your body has geared up for ovulation so fingers crossed for the temp rise tomorrow!

@fizzl sometimes I have a slow LH rise and other time super quick! So probs a slower rise for you this month

@Nuggetlover27 I havent heard or seen those ones. I take the seven seas ones which is folic acid and then a few other multi vitamins!

SunnySideUp2020 · 06/08/2020 11:37

To the ladies wanting to take aspirin. I enquired previously and was told it should only be the case if you have a clotting disorder.
Otherwise can cause heart problems in the fetus ...
My GP advised against self medicating aspiring to avoid MC. So please be careful!!! X

@Fizzl hope ovulation i near for you 🥚

@Annny27 how is the tww?
Getting the bfp in a cycle where i had nothing to spot really made me realise i was being obsessed for no reason previously 😅
But then again, how to stay sane ?!

Babyghirl · 06/08/2020 09:32

@fizzl
Hoping your egg drops soon and you hit the tww.

Babyghirl · 06/08/2020 09:29

Still no temp rise for me another drop today thou, so hoping I have a rise tomara my cm has dryed up which normally happens day of ovulation. Oh in bed after niteshift and I start at 2 do you girls think I should baby dance today for good luck 💚💚💚💚

Fizzl · 06/08/2020 08:40

Still no peak opk for me yet 😒 just when you think you can predict what your body is doing 🤨

I'm fairly sure I am building up to ovulate tho, the tell tale signs are all still there! Think my body is just keeping me on my toes!

@Annny27 self insemination is looking like a promising option at this rate 😂😂

Leok83 · 05/08/2020 19:02

@Annny27 yes I did get the delightful progesterone pessaries too, starting to use them tonight. Honestly I think I'd prefer if they'd just measured my progesterone rather than prescribed them for 5 weeks. I don't think I'm particularly lacking in it, no spotting or anything, but then if I don't use it I'll be kicking myself if anything happens!

Nuggetlover27 · 05/08/2020 18:53

Evening ladies.
Hope you're all doing good. Seems a few of you are headed into TWW. My fingers are crossed for you all!

Have any of you used these pre pregnancy tablets before? If you have what did you think of them?
I picked some up but haven't used any yet. I've just been taking folic acid each day but I was thinking of switching to these.

@Mococo1
Have everything crossed for you. Just remember different pregnancy different baby different outcome girl 💚💚💚💚💚

Babyghirl · 05/08/2020 17:58

Having right side pain nw so hoping ovulation is happening hopefully my temp rises tomara to confirm 🤗🤗🤗🤗. My oh is heading to work nw tired after waking him this morning to baby dance 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. We r like passing trains this week in on the 2 till tens he on 7 to 7 nites so we gota fit it in at some stage hahaha 💚💚💚💚

Mococo1 · 05/08/2020 17:57

@babyghirl Thank you I've just purchased 75mg and will take as soon as I get it - exactly I don't see the harm if there are no negative side effect to taking it! X

Babyghirl · 05/08/2020 17:16

@Mococo1
My doc told me low dose so that's 75mg here in the UK or 81 if in the states you can buy it over the counter phone your doc and ask them most off them tell you no only because they recommend it after 3 losses. Praying your bean sticks but I was going to take aspirin without my docs say so anyway as I have been reading up on it loads and it won't hurt. 💚💚💚

Mococo1 · 05/08/2020 16:47

@Babyghirl

I'm currently pregnant (6w but having an early scan next week due to some bleeds so I'm not hopeful this pregnancy will make it either) after two consecutive miscarriages - so think this may be my third

I've been taking progesterone cream I bought online but am thinking I should top up with some aspirin..do you know the safest dose or was anything recommended X
