@dippyegg32 I see it!! This was how mine first looked. Everything crossed for you lovely girl!!

@LauraT94 I completely understand where you’re coming from. I’ve read on many forums that aspirin is the first port of call for many miscarriage clinics. And I too have read that as it’s such a small dose it will not harm the baby. I have every intention of telling my midwife, I can’t see her for another fortnight. If she tells me off...so be it! There are many many women who have taken things into their own hands so I take comfort knowing I’m not alone. If it helps, I too have been getting cramps, not massively painful but more than mild so to speak. I’m trying not to panic and just hope it’s a good sign! Having been through miscarriages, we know what to expect and how bad the pain can get. So I just use that to try and keep calm. Xx

@AMS19 I'm going to keep testing over the weekend and if it's getting stronger I will phone EPU for advice! 🤯

@SuzieDeLaTour I suppose it could well have been but it just felt and looked so much like a period! I do had a friend who didn't know she was pregnant until 8 weeks because she had a full period so had no idea!!

@dippyegg32 I SEE IT! how many dpo? How exciting! 💕

@glowingtwig my head is the definition of burst! I think I'm in shock, I'm 90% sure the outcome won't be good but I just can't ignore the progression! 🙈

@LauraT94 I just can't believe what I'm seeing! Either I'm very lucky or I've got THE WORST luck! 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

AMS19 · 11/03/2021 18:47

I'm sorry @glowingtwig that's so frustrating 😔

glowingtwig · 11/03/2021 18:42

@LauraT94 if it helps, when I was first pregnant with my little girl after my first miscarriage I was an absolute bundle of nerves... every twinge made me feel sick with anxiety. But my GP said to remember that everything is stretching in there and your uterus is going from a sort of flat shape to like a pear, so you're bound to get crampy feelings.

@SuzieDeLaTour maybe that's it- they do know I'm pregnant. But just a 5 minute phonecall to reassure me would make so much difference to how I'm feeling. I've ruined my day off with DD by staying in the house in case I missed her call and just being generally so on edge 😔

DMT1982 · 11/03/2021 18:16

@dippyegg32 I can see it I can see it xxx

Babyghirl · 11/03/2021 17:57

@lauraT94
My doc told me to take it on a bfp on 3rd and 4th pregnancy it never stopped my losses but she told me to without any investigations to if I needed it or not, but have also been told the recommended dose is now 150mg for rmc as 75mg is not affective she told me even if I don't need it it will do no harm go with your heart 💚

PlantMummy87 · 11/03/2021 17:56

@dippyegg32 I see it too! 💕

SuzieDeLaTour · 11/03/2021 17:47

@glowingtwig oh i feel so sorry for you, that is just incredibly frustrating! I say sod the year 10s and take the call if it comes 😜 I’m amazed that your private practice hasn’t come back to you - that’s really poor. The whole reason people go private is to go quicker! Have you told them you’re pregnant? If so I’m wondering if perhaps there’s nothing urgent / must be done immediately or else surely someone would have come back to you ASAP? X

LauraT94 · 11/03/2021 17:28

@Pettylamby that's darker than my FRER this morning! 😱

@dippyegg32 I can definitely see a squinter on yours as well!

So ladies after reading your discussion on it the other day, I panicked and decided to take 75mg aspirin... But now I'm worried about telling doctor/midwife I'm on it and getting a bollocking over taking it 'for no reason' 😩 it's just that all the articles and reports I read this morning said that even if it didn't help, it didn't have negative effects... So should i be ok?! Probably unrelated but i have had backache and more painful cramps this afternoon. I'm so terrified of everything!

SuzieDeLaTour · 11/03/2021 17:22

@dippyegg32 I see it too!! AMAZING!!

glowingtwig · 11/03/2021 17:12

@dippyegg32 I see it!!!!

glowingtwig · 11/03/2021 17:06

Hi ladies, just catching up on the thread. That's a wonderful thing to do @TheHotelCalifornia thank you! I'm definitely not a runner but I could build up to a 10K walk after I'm out of the danger zone (if that happens!) Testing early is not good for my mental health- I only did because of those tests in London... it just makes the wait more agonising. I haven't tested again either but I think I'll get another FRER on the way back from work and test again Saturday morning.

@Pettylamby your head must be all over the place. I would try your GP for two HCG results a few days apart. Those numbers will tell you for sure.

Thank you for the advice @Babyghirl @AMS19 I STILL haven't been called back by the private clinic and I'm now feeling so angry. We have spent so so much money so far and the results are sat there and they aren't telling me what they are!?! I feel like every hour that passes this new pregnancy is more at risk and the stress won't be helping me either. Thank you for your kind words @SuzieDeLaTour , I feel like my blood pressure is through the roof so this pregnancy will probably fail now due to the stress I've been going through the last two days.

The NHS are sending me round in circles as well literally passed from one person back to another and so on and apparently my consultant is on annual leave. The one person I did get hold of who had the results in front of her said 'sorry love, I don't understand what these mean'. 😩

So I'm just sat staring at my phone willing it to ring in the next hour with the private results. I'm a teacher so it's not going to be much good if they call me tomorrow when I'm at work with 27 year 10s sat in front of me.

Mellous · 11/03/2021 17:00

@dippyegg32 yes I see it!

AMS19 · 11/03/2021 16:52

@dippyegg32 oh wow no I see it!!!!! Eeeeeekk!!! Oh wow so exciting!!!

dippyegg32 · 11/03/2021 16:48

Girls, I caved. I'm so annoyed with myself. But I fell asleep at work today which I've never ever done in my life. I have what I think is the tiniest of squinters. Why have I done this to myself??? Am I going mad or is there something?

Recent MC - New cycles & trying again
Neady1980 · 11/03/2021 16:25

Good luck @Ams19 and @SuzieDeLaTour the TWW is a wreck the head, I feel like AF will appear before shes due on Monday. Just want to start fresh again next month now at this stage

SuzieDeLaTour · 11/03/2021 16:10

@AMS19 ha, I’m not sure my DH will hold off until after AF but I have to admit I’m pretty relieved that I can go to bed tonight and actually just fall asleep!! 😂 oooh let’s hope this is our lucky month! 😘

SuzieDeLaTour · 11/03/2021 16:08

Oh sorry I’ve just seen the latest page of comments, didn’t show when I just posted. @Mellous I’m sorry the test wasn’t what you wanted 😔 but i think it’s a good idea to test again as it’s such early days. Still got everything crossed for you!
@Pettylamby whoa that is some progression!! I’m with others, it could have been an implantation bleed!? Oh how amazing would that be ❤️ I think you should speak to your GP or EPU and see if you can get a blood test? This is such a rollercoaster for you! X

AMS19 · 11/03/2021 16:05

@SuzieDeLaTour whoop! Right then let's get through this together. I'm praying for a better LP than last cycle and if period comes after 10DPO so be it. Sex is officially banned now until after period (or if all my dreams come true until 2nd trimester- won't scare my husband with that one yet 😂😂😂) xx

SuzieDeLaTour · 11/03/2021 16:02

@AMS19 ahhh looks like I’ve ovulated! I’m officially in the TWW with you ladies. I completely get what you mean, I so desperately want to be pregnant and will be feeling pretty low if AF hits but at the same time I’m fearful of what might go wrong and know that a positive result will cause me daily anxiety. I’ll be constantly checking for blood 🤦‍♀️ X

AMS19 · 11/03/2021 15:52

@Pettylamby wow there is real progression. Eptopic it's more likely you would still be bleeding so I wouldn't stress too much. The fact you've stopped and the line is still get darker points more towards you still being pregnant but your hormones forced a period. After a miscarriage anything goes! Im so sorry you're in such limbo!

dippyegg32 · 11/03/2021 15:52

Ah @Mellous you're not yet. Tbh I'm too scared to test. Ignorance is bliss. The result either way terrifies me.
