GIRLS... tell me I'm not going crazy and there's a line there?! I'm only 9dpo, test taken approximately 7 minutes ago so definitely within time frame.. no editing .. 🤞🤞🤞

@SS123456 I don't know how you're functioning 😂

I think I might have a look at some different clinics because it doesn't sit right with me how dismissive they are over the progesterone thing x

@whambam89 ah of course, I hadn't thought about the fact I was prescribed them once pregnant rather than before. I do think they may had prescribed them before though if we had ended up having the private fertility tests so that could maybe be worth exploring perhaps?

@kirinm yes I'm self-employed (I'm an accountant) so it's almost impossible to step away from the business annoyingly. I'm (barely) coasting along at the moment doing the bare minimum as I just don't have time to fit it in around feeding, holding Jessie and my sons endless clubs, school runs etc. Hopefully I'll find some kind of routine at some point 🙈

@kirinm i was still in hospital at 5 days 😂

kirinm · 29/09/2021 11:13

5 days??? I didn't think that was even legal! Are you self-employed?

I think by day 5, I'd just managed to get out of the bedroom and into the living room. You must be knackered @SS123456

Sansa87 · 29/09/2021 10:26

@SS123456 my god, you are a super woman! Frankie is 19+2 I think, and she still struggles to sleep on her back. Sooooo tired. No way I could work too! I’ve just managed to get her down for her first nap without a fight thiugh! I say get her down, she’s still on my chest, but it’s progress!

whambam89 · 29/09/2021 10:17

@SS123456 you're super woman! Don't know how you manage with a newborn and working.

I think they'd be ok to prescribe it if I got pregnant but won't prescribe it to help me get pregnant. They're the only fertility clinic around here and are both private and NHS but I might have to look further afield to see if other clinics have different opinions x

@whambam89 it was through a private fertility clinic. We had booked to have some private tests done on us both with them and then found out I was pregnant. When I called to let them know they suggested a small aspirin dose and progesterone pessaries which I drove over and picked up the same day

I'm ok thanks but shattered! I only took 5 days off of work so it's hardwork juggling everything and working on so little sleep. Jessie won't lay on her back or sleep anywhere apart from on us at all 😴

@SS123456 where did you get them prescribed from if you don't mind me asking? Happy to pay for them I just don't know how to go about it!

How are you doing? 😘

I'm sorry to hear that @whambam89 . I had my progesterone pessaries prescribed privately. Could that be an option for you too?

Thanks girls, it was a bit of a waste of time. Egg quality and sperm both fine, doesn't think low progesterone is a problem so won't do anything re that but going to book me in for a dye scan to check my tubes aren't blocked / damaged. Feeling pretty deflated because I know that the low progesterone can cause problems and a luteal phase of 9/10 days makes it harder to get pregnant too

MrsB2019x · 28/09/2021 14:51

Good luck today @whambam89 Flowers

kirinm · 28/09/2021 09:42

@whambam89

Sorry to hear that. Really keeping my fingers crossed that the clinic can do something to help you.

I'm fine. I think I'm 7dpo or thereabouts but not feeling anything that I don't always feel.

whambam89 · 28/09/2021 09:08

Thanks @kirinm hope you're ok!
AF arrived 9dpo this month so definitely need something doing 😴

kirinm · 28/09/2021 08:51

Good luck with your appointment today @whambam89

kirinm · 20/09/2021 14:16

@whambam89

Sorry girls I've been a bit AWOL and just realised I'd never checked to see *@kirinm* update.. sorry it wasn't a bfp for you :(

We've got our telephone appt with the clinic next Tuesday morning to discuss blood results etc so hopefully there'll be a plan of action then. 6dpo on this cycle and have been using pregnenalone cream since ovulation to see if it helps to extend my LP.

Hope all the babies (and mummies!) are doing well xx

Oooh fingers crossed you won't need a plan of action!

@Sansa87 4 month regression is brutal. Ours lasted months (but my DD was a very very bad sleeper). Crumpets seemed to help.

Sansa87 · 20/09/2021 11:17

4 month sleep regression here 😩

@kirinm so sorry 😔

@MrsB2019x thanks. I didn't really think I was but it's still disappointing 🙄. At least I know of another 'symptom' I can ignore.

MrsB2019x · 07/09/2021 09:57

@kirinm I’m sorry 😔💐

kirinm · 07/09/2021 09:17

A very very clear negative.

Looks like sore boobs are a new sign of AF!

kirinm · 07/09/2021 07:13

I did get one. Just a cheapy from Sainsbury's. I'll do it later. I don't think I am pregnant but I'd like to stop thinking about it if im not.

Im 12dpo today and i have. 14 day LP so not due AF for a couple of days yet.
