Hi all. Currently in the TWW and if we conceive this cycle bubba will be arriving in October! Anyone want to join in symptom spotting and testing 😊?

@PoopMaster I'm 1 dpo and I've decided to take baby aspirin just bought it from the supermarket, I've had two losses so I've decided I'll give it a try 🤞🏻

Charl881 · 25/01/2022 15:03

@Bridgey8 amazing, so happy for you!

Bridgey8 · 25/01/2022 13:01

@Mariabombia I'm on my honeymoon! We had a miscarriage last November and thought what the hell and booked it... after 4 wedding attempts, a restricted wedding and a miscarriage we thought a holiday was in order! So I'm in Sri Lanka till Monday and only have cheap internet tests with me so just have to ride it out and pray it sticks...

@Charl881 I tested at 9dpo and was a BFN then again at 14dpo which is when I got a positive bit didn't test in between so could have been positive before then!

Cruz86 · 25/01/2022 12:58

It's ridiculous that you'd potentially have to go through another one just to be taken more seriously @PoopMaster. I do believe the guidelines with progesterone have changed now, so you only need to have had 1 miscarriage before they'll consider prescribing suppositories x

PoopMaster · 25/01/2022 12:50

Thanks @Cruz86, I will check that out. Was also going to ask local midwifery team about baby aspirin and how soon to start. Just want feel like I'm doing something...even if it doesn't work.

@Bridgey8 that looks like great progression! What dpo did you get your BFP?

Cruz86 · 25/01/2022 12:41

Hi @PoopMaster. I've just had my progesterone test done actually and it's because I have symptoms such as spotting before my period for 5/6, some pain during sex and terrible lower back pain between ovulation and period. You can buy one privately from a place called MediChecks and then if anything worrying comes back, you can take that info to your gp x

PoopMaster · 25/01/2022 12:35

Catching up on the thread over lunch - those ladies having progesterone checked, how do you get referred for something like that? I have no idea what to do as I don't meet the "2 consecutive losses" over age 35. Last year's mmc baby was perfectly formed and stopped growing at 9.5 weeks so I wonder if it was a clotting issue with the placenta...don't want to go through the same again just to "prove" it, the gap with other siblings is ever widening so this is probably the last year we have Sad

Same @Mariabombia, I'm all good thank you 1DPO and wishing the time away haha! You?

Mariabombia · 25/01/2022 09:49

Amazing @Bridgey8 !! Congrats 🎉 that line progression looks really good! are you on holiday or something? Have a great time 😁

BiscuitLover3678 · 25/01/2022 09:47

BFN , of course it was! Only 8dpo so was probably a bit silly of me.

Mariabombia · 25/01/2022 09:45

Ah @arianasky I recognise your name from another thread. Hope you're okay lovely, all the best for this month ❤️

Mariabombia · 25/01/2022 09:44

@mummytorm can't see anything but it is super early! I think earliest people have seen a vfl is 8dpo!

Are you going to test again in a few days ? Best of luck 😁😁

arianasky · 25/01/2022 08:51

@MadamMaltesers ah thank you, I will contact the drs if I'm not pregnant or if I have another CP this cycle

Thanks girls. Probs just my eyes playing up haaha! I did have some twinges yesterday so 🤞🏼🤞🏼. I'm just sooo impatient. It doesn't help that last two pregnancies happened on cycle 1 so now I feel like I just need to know. I'll be disappointed if it doesn't 😆

Bridgey8 · 25/01/2022 08:22

Sorry @mummytorm I don't think I can see anything either but 6DPO is so early. I had a BFN at 9dpo so deffo not out yet! Xx

Charl881 · 25/01/2022 08:19

@mummytorm sorry I can’t see anything at all but like you say it’s so so early still.

BFN for me at 9dpo. Need to remind myself this doesn’t mean I’m out.

I caved straight away. I'm so ridiculous.

However. Can any of you see anything? I saw a vvvvvvvvfaint line come up as the dye was moving along the test. I know these cheapies are notorious for having evaps etc but all my previous tests in the past have been stark white! I used these last month too and saw evaps after a while but not this soon. Trying not to get my hopes up that it will be darker tomorrow. I'm only 6dpo so not holding out hope

@Bridgey8 looks like hcg is rising nicely!!

I'm 6dpo today and really refraining from testing 😬

Hi guys - sorry on a different time zone to you all at the mo!

So I tested again this morn... what do we think about line progression? So scared after my miscarriage last Nov!

Wish I had better test than the internet cheapies!

Thank you for the insight @MadamMaltesers. I am nervous about the results but hoping that it'll give me some info so I can better prepare for the next pregnancy. I'm 7dpo today and this is my third day of spotting already, with cramping. So not sure it's my cycle 😞 Good luck, keep us updated with how you get on x

@arianasky oh ok, I really hope the baby aspirin works for you. I would get my progesterone checked just in case. I'm going to give it my all this cycle and throw everything at it. I'm just so tired of these messages, I don't even get excited when I see a bfp. I hope October 2022 is when we get our rainbows.

@Cruz86 yes pls get it checked, do not wait around. I got mine checked last cycle at cd21 and it was 22. From what I gather it should be higher and more like 30 plus. I'm not getting any younger so this year really is my last chance saloon. Praying for pregnancies that stick!
