@MrsJGrealish oh love 😔 big hugs from me, hoping it’s just random spotting that means nothing, but it’s such a headfuck isn’t it 😞 xxx

FfoxRedN · 19/03/2023 19:22

@TheBirdintheCave oh I totally get what you mean, I've got a positive and I still don't think it will equal a baby. We just plod on through in the hope one day it will happen xx

@FfoxRedN 6/7dpo. Originally thought AF was due on the 26th but now I guess it could be the 27th. Sorry to be such a downer (again). It just feels like I've got no chance of ever seeing a positive again. I don't even think the IVF will work 😂

@MrsJGrealish I'm so sorry about the spotting 😔❤️

FfoxRedN · 19/03/2023 18:51

@TheBirdintheCave FF has my ovulation a day too late compared with my OPKs, it's an app at the end of the day so there can be errors and I know it's done mine wrong, it seems to only put it day 12/14 depending what I play around with, but I KNOW it was day 13. Please don't think you've ruined it. Even if it's a BFN this month at the time you did what you felt you could. This journey is such a slog, that there are times you just can't DTD. It may also be that you did enough but this month it wasn't the right combination of your goods 🤣. The only real way to tell is to wait. If you're CD31/32 how many DPO are you now? Xx

@MrsJGrealish Sorry you're spotting 😢

I got my cross hairs on FF at last (by deleting the Premom positive OPK suggestion) and it's put O at CD32 rather than 31 so I'm definitely out this month 😭 With our age (I'm still not convinced our eggs and sperm are any good) the odds of anything happening are like 10% which may as well be nothing. So effing depressing. I should have just forced myself to have sex that last time. I KNEW we should I just couldn't be arsed to lie there with the cup in for half an hour 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️😭 I've ruined everything for myself.

@MrsJGrealish really sorry to hear about the spotting, as others have said I'm hoping it's nothing. Big hugs from me 💕

MrsJGrealish · 19/03/2023 17:44

@calimc83 dr said no due to previous stroke..😢 but I do wonder how accurate that is if my progesterone levels are meant to go up but are failing. Something to think about if I try next cycle xx

Honestly thank you everyone for your support 💕

bringmearainbow · 19/03/2023 17:36

@MrsJGrealish ahhh lovely that's rubbish ❤️ I'll still keep everything crossed it will still be ok for you xxx

calimc83 · 19/03/2023 17:19

@MrsJGrealish would progesterone be possible lovely? x

curliegirlie · 19/03/2023 16:47

@MrsJGrealish everything crossed for you. Spotting can mean something or nothing....really hoping it's the latter. Hugs xxx

FfoxRedN · 19/03/2023 16:38

@MrsJGrealish oh lovely I'm so so sorry 😢. Sending hugs, please keep us posted, it is still possible to spot, but I know when you feel in your heart what's happening it's hard to think of any other outcome. Just know we're here for you in whatever capacity you need 😘 xxx

MrsJGrealish · 19/03/2023 16:29

@TheBirdintheCave good sign lovely 🤞

Spotting has started with me ☹️ another cycle takes me to 23 December due date. Not sure if I'll go for it. I'll update when I decide. I'm actually ok I cried a lot Friday and Saturday. Tests don't lie. I'll keep following though want you girls to get your rainbows 🌈

Happy Mother's Day everyone❤️. DS2 came down and I've had covid pretty recently so hopefully my antibodies are high. I couldn't not see him Xx

@MrsJGrealish Hope u are ok lovely. Sorry to hear about the covid. Great news you have a positive digi, praying this is your cycle xxx

calimc83 · 19/03/2023 09:30

@FfoxRedN Hey 👋 I took aspirin for my last pregnancy just gone. Never taken it before, did as much research as I could. My consultant and midwife were more than happy for me to take it. I took 75mg a day from around 6ish weeks, no earlier incase it affected implantation. Took it up to 38 weeks. Absolutely no harm done to me/baby in taking it. Although I never go to the stage of tests to see whether it would be beneficial I did find out I have a high red blood count which can indicate slightly sticky blood so was a no brainier for me xx

bringmearainbow · 19/03/2023 08:58

@TheBirdintheCave ooh cold turkey you're braver than me 🙊 I have lots of tests 😂 and will no doubt waste a few ic early testing! Had your temp gone back up?

TheBirdintheCave · 19/03/2023 08:39

@MrsJGrealish I'm glad you got your digi! I'm still keeping the faith for you 🙏🏻

@bringmearainbow I'm ok. I wasted my last cheapie this morning so that I've got nothing left if the house to test with. Going cold turkey! 😂 Now I can just wait for AF to arrive and start the next cycle.

Hey ladies how is everyone today? Sorry I've been so behind on catching up I have been non stop but today I get to relax 💪🏼 good thing about being so busy I'm now on CD7 🙌🏼 only about 13 to go 😂

FfoxRedN · 18/03/2023 20:14

@bunnykins123 ah ok lovely thank you, I'm taking 1,000mg omega 3 so hopefully that'll do 😊 xx

bunnykins123 · 18/03/2023 20:06

@FfoxRedN not me. I took it in subsistent miscarriages but it didn't help. I've had literally all the tests done and never been any sign of clotting issue so held off on this one. I am taking extra strength omega 3 though which supposedly acts similar to aspirin. I think @calimc83 did though?

FfoxRedN · 18/03/2023 19:55

Does anyone here take aspirin? I've heard so much about it but I never have. Just wondering when you start if so? I've also seen some take 75mg and some 150, I don't know whether to throw belt and braces at it, just incase!! Xx

bunnykins123 · 18/03/2023 19:31

@MrsJGrealish sorry to hear your boy has covid, seems to be bloody everywhere at the moment. Good news you're not so achy now. My advice would be to stop testing for a bit, it's a good sign you've got a positive off a digital! HCG at this stage is so low that it can take a while for tests to really show significant progression. Big hugs from me, I know how totally crappy this stage is.

MrsJGrealish · 18/03/2023 17:35

@LuckyMoonstone @FfoxRedN ❤️

LuckyMoonstone · 18/03/2023 17:30

@MrsJGrealish oh no I’m sorry that’s a shame 😔
