@Northernsoul90 yes I couldn’t find anything about calc Fluor to say you can’t. Xx would save you some tablets and money tho 😜

@MrsK21 I wonder if it will be a heavy one this time so now this will be the real deal. How heavy was it during the tablets?

@Northernsoul90 thank you hun. I'll wait and see if I get another AF, atm it's just the cramps and a bit of spotting. OH thinks it might be the last of it making its way out. Hope he's right

@Pugprincess it was really heavy while taking the provera! The heaviest day was reminding me of my mc bleeding 😕 I'm hoping it's nothing but just feeling a bit sorry for myself while I wait for these cramps to die down.
How are you doing? Any more of that spotting? X

@MrsK21 other thought is maybe the tablets are causing some contractions but actually there isn’t much left in there to come out? Hopefully your appointment will reveal more answers x

@MrsK21 no spotting today yet. Not had a mass of discharge though so il know if that comes out. Last two days it’s come out while walking the dog when I can’t check straight away 😕 it was only a beige colour yday tho ao was looking better x

@MichT4 so frustrating you are still in limbo, especially while on holiday and not knowing whether you should have a drink or not 😔 definitely think it's a good sign that they are still showing though and you have the Drs to support either way when you're home x

@VP91x glad you got the pup sorted and hopefully when a little more trained you can have him back or he can find a more appropriate home, how is OH doing? xx

@fafi @chloxhunt congrats on a successful scan 🥳

@Bl0ndi3 ahh you are doing so well sticking to your healthy lifestyle plan, definitely keep it up it can only help and make you feel better in yourself x

@MrsK21 I know a lady that took the office provera before starting IVF and it was kinda spotting and then had a full flow when it was done but hopefully you are done now and onto a fresh new successful cycle, stay positive lovely x

@Northernsoul90 yeah I took calc flour throughout (about 6 a day 🤷🏾‍♀️) and then carried on after BFP until I ran out x

@Northernsoul90 that's part of the reason I am taking the calc fluor throughout my cycle as I would end up forgetting. I'm going to stop taking the omega 3 and buy separate omega 3 and evening primrose supplements. Anything else you ladies recommend taking? Xx

Hello ladies, just came to find you after a busy few weeks and I've had to skip 3 whole threads!!

Unfortunately I've just had my second chemical after the MC in May so yet to have a "proper" cycle where I either don't fall pregnant or it manages to stick!!

Been taking loads of supplements this month to try and boost progesterone which I think helped as my temps came back up to their "normal" post-ov range this cycle but still no sticky bean. So now CD1 on cycle #3 (or #4 if you count the cycle waiting for my first period) post MC.

How is everyone doing? I might look into calc Fluor now...

@ladysamee definitely something on that pic when I zoom. I found the one step not great for early testing, I was getting clear BFP on CB & FRER (9dpo) days before I seen anything on my one step. I was 15/16 dpo before they showed anything

I really hope everything improves for you all! Sending all my love and wishes to you guys x

I hope your eyes are right 😂 I tried FRER 10dpo and 11dpo and got bfn. Going to pick another up tomorrow so we shall see. I'll be 14dpo and tomorrow will be the first day AF is possibly due (I have irregular cycles) so fx ☺️

Evening ladies, currently 11dpo (I think) and thinking of testing in next couple of days. AF due Thursday or Friday. I wondered if anyone thought pink or blue dye tests are more reliable? I’ve purposefully not bought any yet so I resist temptation of having them in the house. First Response have been so faint with my last two pregnancies (both losses) and I only did one pink dye one (Asda cheapie) with DD three years ago but it was super strong as I was over a week late for AF...
What strength are the digitals? Maybe save those bad boys for later on 😂

Also, sending hugs to anyone who needs it today... it’s a shitty place we have all found ourselves in but we’re in it together 💚

Sorry guys, I'm trying to keep up but I have such shite signal in the caravan. If I see E one more time....🤬🤬

@chloxhunt so glad your scan went well today

@Cici89 thank you for that thread. It's really interesting. I hope that explains my faint positives rather than a chemical but time will tell. It's so easy to get hopes up with first cycle - but it can happen and has to a few. 11dpo is early so you're not out yet.

@fafi thank you. I keep expecting AF when I go to the loo. In the absence of anything I'm totally confused. But by the weekend hopefully I'll know either way.
Gorgeous scan pic 🥰

@Bl0ndi3 great news on the OPKs!

@Mamainmaking1 welcome to the group and sorry for your loss. I agree with the supplement advice from the other ladies. I think we are all doing similar.

@BEESY90 I hope everything is feeling a little better now and the scan goes well tomorrow

@Rb486 my due date is about the 10th November so not long enough away for me to be as pg as I'd have hoped. I'm worried I won't even have my bfp by then. It's so hard isn't it.

@ladysamee I keep looking at your pics and I think I can see something. Like I said though, I think I have lines etched to my eyeballs now. I really hope it develops nicely for you. Maybe wait and try again Wednesday as it can take a couple of days I think.

@HE88 definitely pma lovely, it's the best way. Makes it all a little easier and time go a bit quicker. I'd love to try reflexology and acupuncture.

@HappyVibes I'd love to be able to get into a bit more meditation. Which do you use? And how long for?

@Firevie did I miss how the wedding went? Did you manage to drive ok?

@HopeForRainbowbaby sounds like a great attitude to have. You're right it needs to be when it's healthy and it'll stick nicely. I'd always promote waiting to test but I know that's easier said than done.

@MrsK21 that's so annoying. How are you feeling now? Maybe by massive coincidence AF came just when you started so now there's a little confusion in your body. Hopefully it'll be nice light and short if it does come again.

@SmileyT it's bloody annoying for sure. It's nice it's still there, but I just feel like it should be darker. Anyway leaving it til Saturday is going to give the answer. I'm quite happy with the nosecco types I've found, they are similar and I don't get headaches. I just like to have a drink in my hand that resembles something fun 🤣. Will contact doc either way I imagine.
How are you?

@littletandme sorry you had another chemical, I hope you get your sticky one soon. Can I ask how soon after your positive you knew about the chemical? Did you start bleeding?

Hope I haven't missed anything, I've tried to reply to most things xx

@Diorissimo1985 exciting for testing! Although I've had a saga this month and have no idea what's happening, I've only seen lines on blue dyes. I thought I've seen squinters on the pink dye but no squints required for blue. So it's a blue vote for me
Good luck!! xx

@littletandme what are you taking to boost progesterone? Xx

By the way, I just realised @littletandme, sorry if I sound really insensitive asking. I feel terrible 😭 didn't mean for it to come out badly xx

@Pugprincess @HE88 Yes would definitely save some money! I'm just so forgetful though 😂 I put them all in a pill organiser I must be rattling at this point 🤣 xx

@SmileyT Thank you, I thought you did! Think I will end up doing the same xx

@littletandme So sorry about the chemical 😔 hoping for a sticky bean for you this cycle 🙏🏼❤️ xx

@Diorissimo1985 Ooh fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼!! I have heard that pink dye ones are more reliable although I'm not sure myself - I've never had a bfp on first response. Last time I got a bfp I used 10miu internet cheapies which were pink dye and then a CB digital which are 20miu if I remember rightly! Xx

@MichT4 thanks lovely - hope things settle down for you soon 🤞🏻
I will maybe get a regular clear blue then, not a digi one

[quote Pugprincess]@littletandme what are you taking to boost progesterone? Xx[/quote]
Interested in this too! xx

@MichT4 don't worry, not at all. So both last cycle and this one I have had v faint positives on FRERs at 10dpo but then it never got any darker. Then I just got my period when it was due. This month it actually came a day earlier than predicted by my apps.

@Pugprincess I'm taking 1000mg of vit c, 100mg of vit B6, 1000mg of vit e and 2 x 1000mg of l-arginine, as well as a regular pregnancy multivitamin and an additional vit d with omega 3. Mainly because my temps last cycle were on the low side post ovulation (barely reaching 36.6 when pre-MC I would be around 36.8-36.9) and it seems to have helped with that this cycle but still not enough to prevent another chemical.

I think I will up the l-arginine this month and possibly add in calc Fluor but it's already a lot!

@ladysamee Definitely try a more sensitive test in the morning as I didn't find the cheapies good for picking up early results! I really hope it's a BFP 🥰

@MichT4 How are you feeling? X

@Northernsoul90 have you had your static now? I feel like I might have missed it.

@littletandme thank you. I think this is what's happening to me but I think AF has been due already so not sure what's going on. Trying to make sense of it.

Just seen this over our caravan. Hoping it's a sign 🤞🏼🤞🏼

@Rebecca1992 as confused as ever. I really thought this morning it would be negative, and I'd have my answer. Problem is seeing a line is then I still have hope, and I think it's misplaced.
After reading the link @Cici89 sent I know it could be late implantation etc and levels just aren't high, but I think I'm clutching. I know I'll be sad when it's confirmed though. Thanks for asking ☺️

How are you? xx

@littletandme that sounds so good that you’re being so conscientious about taking as much as possible. I would maybe have a look into the dosage of things to make sure that they are at a balanced level, as some of the vitamins might already have them in, which could maybe take the dosage a little higher than recommended. It’s all a minefield isn’t it? I am forever researching into what mcg levels etc my mind boggles.

I’m sure when the time is right your sticky lil bean will come. I’m the same as you with 2 chemicals now. So I am trying to increase anything I can to help with a strong lining. I’ve just bought calc fluor so starting that when I ovulate for the first time this cycle so fx - in addition to Methylfolate, D3, macca, inositol & grapefruit juice (& in general just a healthy diet, active lifestyle) xxx
