@Babyghirl no luck unfortunately I couldn't get through, even though I managed to get a copy of the letter from my gynaecologist with a direct number on it. DH and I just talked about it. At about 7am yesterday I got a peak smiley face on Clearblue. I think I usually ovulate within 48 hours of that and I've already had what I think is ovulation pain today so I think I'll start taking my pessaries after 7am tomorrow morning, which will be CD17. I don't want to leave it until BFP like last time as that doesn't seem to work for me. I think I need to boost my progesterone sooner. Hoping that and the doubled dose of aspirin for a longer amount of time will help as well. X

So CD23 today, 10dpo and I've got a squinter on an IC!! AF feels like it's coming and I've had my usual pre AF spotting since CD19/20. I'm not getting my hopes up yet as it doesn't feel like a sticky bean. But least I know we dtd at the right time etc. If you're someone who prays please pray for me xx

Attached for those interested. Don't know if it will show up once the upload quality drops.

@peanuttybutter I can see the squinter! Will be sending out a little prayer for you (praying for "peanuttybutter" but God will know who I mean 🥰😂

@h0peing yeah it's very unknown but I would deffo wait a day or two after your peak just to make sure you arent interrupting ovulation with progesterone!

Thank you @annny27 means a lot.
Don't know what I would do without you guys on here to be honest.

Are you gonna test in the morning or give it another day @peanuttybutter

@PeanuttyButter Amazing! Great news! I will definitely pray for you! Lol yes @Annny27 so funny that we don't know each-other's real names.

I feel so much love for you all even though I don't know your real names, especially with what we've all been through and I definitely still believe that we'll all have healthy babies one day. Thankful that we all have each-other on here during our journey too xxxxx

@PeanuttyButter
I will be praying this is your sticky bean 🍀🤞🙏💚.
@Annny27
Still no period for me yet it may hurry up and come lol.💚
@HOpeing
It's amazing the connection you can feel with strangers you don't even know going through the same journey as yourself 💚

Ooh @PeanuttyButter definitely praying for you! @Babyghirl are you going to test?!?

I've tested again this morning and it's slightly darker but if you looked at it in the wrong light you would miss it still. My apps are saying AF is due Monday/Tuesday.
I usually go to the gym a few times a week and do some HIIT and I'm too scared to go. I know it can't cause you to miscarry but I feel like it's so early on and implantation isn't complete I could mess it up. Wasn't like this last time, I feel like any happiness I'm feeling is tainted by fear

Just seen that you've not tested yet @babyghirl are you planning to?! Fingers crossed

@kiwi17
@PeanuttyButter
Just pulled up outside a chemist now to get myself a test lol can't see anything happening thou lol just nipped out off work so will take it when I get bck in 💚

@PeanuttyButter I see it! Yay!! That's amazing,👏 news!! I'm keeping everything crossed for this one! 🤞🤞

The spotting could have been implantation. I know it's so scary. I feel exactly the same and worry about everything I do. I spend each day waiting for it to go wrong. It really robs you of the joy. Trying to remember that each pregnancy is it's own unique event and just take each day. Sending hugs

@Babyghirl keeping fingers crossed for you

@H0peing hope you are doing OK, seems so hard to find good advice! Thank goodness for this group. I also feel lucky I found this group and grateful for the support. I know we are all going to get our babies in the end ❤

@PeanuttyButter
As white as u could get it 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Well you aren't out till AF shows! Keep hoping. Maybe it's too early. X

@Emigoiko
Nt even a hint lol

@PeanuttyButter it's still early if Af isn't due until Mon / Tues so I don't think it would usually be dark yet. They are pricey but I always get my best lines on FRER tests with SMU when testing early. X

@Babyghirl when is AF due? Maybe it's too early. Xx

@EmiGoiko thanks! Yes, I'm a bit disappointed by the letter from my gynaecologist as it isn't what she told me over the phone and seems far too vague to just take progesterone pessaries CD15 instead of making sure that I've ovulated first, which could obviously vary each month. Guessing is not great but I've taken my first pessary this morning so obviously hoping 2 full days after peak smiley face was enough of a gap.

I know what you mean. It's such a shame how our past experiences can rob us of at least some of the excitement that we should feel when we are pregnant but I really hope that you can find moments to enjoy your pregnancy. X

@H0peing that sounds sensible, it does seem vague especially since people's cycles very so much. Have you tried doing bbt? That always helps me know exactly when I ovulated.

I have very strong cramp today. Idk not feeling that positive. I got these cramps around this time with both miscarriages. The first was missed but I remember having the pains around the time they said I lost it. With the second I started bleeding a couple days later. I am counting down till Tuesday as that will be how many days after ovulation I was when I miscarried last time. Currently not feeling hopeful.

@Babyghirl could defo be too early depending on when you ovulated. When is AF due?

@HOpeing
@Emigoiko
In the nxt day or 2 I norm have a 16day lp so would be up by now has I'm about 14dpo lol

In that case I'd try again in a couple days. I know plenty of people who didn't get bfps till the day they AF or later. Might still be hope!

@babyghirl I didn't get a squinter until I was 2 days late with my last one.

@emigoiko I keep thinking it's over with every cramp. How any dpo are you? Or cd?
