@Rainbowbaby13 sending positive thoughts your way, fingers crossed for your BFP soon!
FYI ladies, I've posted this question as it's own thread but just wondered if anyone here had any thoughts as I'm worrying about what I should do, sorry for the long post.
Even though the GP has just assured me it's fine I'm still worrying so I was just wondering if anyone had any similar stories...
I had a mc 2 years ago and since then have suffered incredibly painful periods (numerous tests, exams with no concrete diagnosis). I have been managing the pain during my period and the run up to it with 30mg codeine, sometimes x6 times a day (on the rare occasion I take the max of x8).
Haven't taken any since early June as we are finally given the all clear to start trying again.
I am currently 9dpo and getting bad cramping (sadly normal for me now).
I called my GP to explain and to ask if it would be safe to have another codeine prescription, particularly as if this isn't a positive pregnancy then I know my period will hit with a vengeance and it makes work/normal life etc. really difficult.
She has said that I don't need to wait to test and that I am safe to take codeine now even if I do test positive on Tuesday when AF is due, she said its actually safe in moderation until the third trimester, although I'd hope if I was pregnant the period pains would stop being an issue...
I'm so torn because I am in pain but I feel so so guilty even thinking of taking it in case I may be pregnant, and I desperately wouldn't want to do anything that may harm our chances.
Thank you so much for reading and any advice is very much appreciated.
