Hello ladies,

Time for a new thread for us dinosaurs and for any newbies that find themselves ttc after miscarriage ❤

Tagging those who I remember from top of my head and them will add the others in later 🥰

I had a very faint positive pregnancy test yesterday and then a much darker one today using smu on a frer! My period was due today. I spoke to my Dr this morning, who has been on this whole journey with me and she managed to speak to a gynaecologist regarding my history who has prescribed me progesterone and aspirin for the first 12 weeks. I really appreciate their swift response this time round! It's due to 3 miscarriages but I also recently turned 40 so that will be an extra risk now!

Mixed emotions of mainly happiness and excitement but also fear! DH and I were arguing last night because he started talking about my miscarriages and then said "Let's hope it doesn't happen again!" I told him that I would rather focus on the future and just try to stay as positive as possible! My last miscarriage was at 8 weeks so I'll probably feel more positive when we get past 8 weeks and then there's the 12 week scan!

I used smu for my pregnancy test because I read online that a lot of women get more accurate results from frer when using smu so I definitely found that tip helpful.

I didn't realise that my progesterone prescription would be a pessary! Glad I realised before I put it in the wrong hole! X

@HOpeing
Congratulations girl glad u got progesterone sorted I had a wee pink stain yesterday when wiping but nt holding out much hope but will test tomorrow if I have nt came on, 💚
@mrsF111
Any word from u yet lol 💚

Oh wow, congratulations H0peing. That’s brilliant that your GP is so supportive and was so quick off the mark with getting prescriptions. I really hope everything goes well for you.

I’m sorry you’re also having stand offs with your DH kiwi17. I hope it’s all a bit easier this evening. I don’t think it was exactly a throw away comment. He thinks I need some emotional support, but is also questioning whether we look at tests with a private fertility place.

@Miscarriage39 I am sorry camping wasn't as relaxing as you would have hoped . It really is hard to park emotions after such a stressful and emotional time. Yes I caved and booked one this morning. I had been getting pain all night but didn't feel I could justify an NHS scan . Measured 6+3 which I am and good strong heartbeat thank goodness. I guess I am as reassured as I can be at the moment but I won't relax not for a long time x

@H0peing congratulations!!

@Babyghirl no I chickened out of testing this morning 🤣🤣 the spotting has completely stopped so it was 4 days from 7dpo to 10dpo. Tomorrow will be 12dpo so I’ll test in the morning 🤞🤞🤞

@mrsF111

@H0peing Oooh fantastic news fingers crossed for you. Sending lots of love

@babyghirl @mrsf111 good luck for testing tomorrow!!

@PeanuttyButter
No need to test woke up this morning with the witch I knew yesterday she was on her way lol, 💚
@mrsF111
Goodluck girl 🤞🙏🍀💚

I think it’s a no from me, I’m not sure if I’m imagining the faintest of lines or if it’s totally blank?! Due on in 2 days so I’ll probably wait now until then to test again 😢

@Babyghirl sorry the witch arrived for you! 🙁

Morning Ladies hope you are all ok.

Sorry that the witch arrived @Babyghirl and I really hope that she doesn’t arrive in the next couple of days for you @MrsF111

Hope you had a lovely time away @Annny27 and have got through the FW ok. Now the dreaded TWW. x

Congratulations @H0peing. Looks like we are in this together as this has happened here….

I hate what MCs have done to us Ladies as I just can’t even start to feel excited or bring myself to tell my husband.

@ELM7 congratulations!!

@ELM7
Congratulations girl great to c another bfp xx
@mrsF111
Try a frer hoping it's still to early for you xx

@Babyghirl so sorry that the witch arrived! Hoping that you'll get your Summer BFP next month! Xx

@HOpeing
I knew I ovulated on CD8 I had the pain only cd24 today so goes with the time frame I norm have a 15/16 day lp but knew yesterday I was going to come on today but I will get that bfp soon 💚

Omg @ELM7 I am so pleased for you! You are pregnant and congratulations 💕💕💕💕 did you do anything different this month?

it's sad isnt it that it's taken away some joy! I feel like 2nd pregnancy after miscarriage theres still all the excitement but after 2 miscarriages you ar much more guarded 💕

@h0peing omg another bfp!!! Congrats - yep the progesterone pesseries are interesting srent they 😂😂😂

@babyghirl sorry that AF arrived:(

I am about 3dpo today I think

@mrsf111 I can see a faint line! But I am notorious for line eyes xxx

Sorry that AF has arrived @babyghirl

Still got my fingers crossed for you @mrsf111

Congratulations on the BFP @elm7 ☺️

@Gummybear17 Glad your scan went well! X

@ELM7 Congratulations!!! Xx

@MrsF111 I would definitely recommend trying a frer using smu. When I tried fmu with frer it was negative and I only got a bright pink line when using smu. Now that it's slightly further along it is showing up on a clearblue digital with fmu but it wasn't at first. X

I had a call this morning from the EPU and they have booked me in for a 6 week scan on 11th August at 3pm! I feel very grateful to have been offered such an early scan on the NHS but I've been told that they usually offer early scans to everyone 40+

Thanks ladies, I might order some FRER. I was so confident for this month praying it’s just a little early 🤞

@H0peing that’s great news! Not long to wait for you
