Sorry the radio silence everyone. Put the phone down.

Does anyone take baby aspirin? If so when did you start taking it? I've read lots of information and it's all very different. Some say just start taking it, some say on the day of ovulation, some say the day you get BFP.

After 2 mc's I'm trying it this cycle, done lot of research on this and most say from around 3 dpo so that's when I started! Spoke to my Dr and they said they don't know if it helps but as low dosage can't do any harm! I'm taking 75mg along with my prenatal and iron supplements ( I have low iron so have them anyway)

I’m not taking it this time round, but did when TTC my son a few years back.
I can’t remember the exact timing, but I remember it being some time between ovulation and af being due if that’s any help at all. This was on advice of gynae 🫶🏼

I’m not taking aspirin, I wanted to and enquired about it with my midwife after my mc as I wanted to feel like I was doing all I could to prevent it next time. She said the risk is so low to have a second and advised I’d be fine etc and they don’t offer anything unless you’ve had 3 mcs. I wasn’t sure if I could just take the aspirin myself from home but I’m nervous to do anything tbh.
I do worry, if I do get a BFP, I will just be so anxious that the pregnancy will progress ok. I’m trying to remember it’ll be a whole new pregnancy and trust my body can do it 🤞

JoMummyJessica · 17/11/2024 10:00

5dpo for me today and I feel I've got a cold coming on me! Woke up with the heaviest head ever! Hate this time of year for bugs etc!
Not testing this cycle till Friday which will be 10 dpo and 4 days before af due, only reason I'm testing then is I have a weekend away with my mum xmas shopping on sat so would like to know, but I know 10dpo is still early for bfp! Not going to drink anyway even if bfn just incase!

How is everyone feeling?

Yeah I think risk is low for 2nd mc, I'm taking as I've had 2 mc and I'm 39 so any help I can get is welcomed! NHS doesnt seem to help much as ive had healthy pregnancy with my DD 5 years ago! Baby dust to u, it's an anxious and scary time ttc after loss and same if you do conceive!

Emiily887 · 17/11/2024 13:21

How is everyone today?🩷
@JoMummyJessica cant believe you’re already 5dpo!! That’s gone quick.
We have also been hit with illnesses this cycle! Sending hugs xx

JoMummyJessica · 17/11/2024 14:49

@Emiily887 I know, ovulated little late this cycle but think it's down to stress as I've done majority of xmas shopping thus month and my 5 Yr old DD is changing her mind all the time! And then trying to hide stuff is just a nightmare as she is into hide and seak at min so tries to get in everywhere!
Feeling a bit lost this cycle as didn't dtd as close to ov as we would have liked with work schedules etc and fact I ovulated late if I had have ovulated normally we would have been spot on but we will see!

LuxyLocket · 17/11/2024 18:14

@JoMummyJessica thank you for you words, it’s so hard not to let the fear of it happening again take over. It’s bad that just as you’ve had one healthy pregnancy they still won’t support more. Thank you and wishing all the baby dust to you as well! 5dpo that’s going so quick!
@Emiily887 How are you feeling?

im 12dpo today, my lines on the wonfro tests are progressing, slowly, but there’s no mistaking the faint pink line there now. Comes up within the time so I know it’s not an evap. However easy@home is hardly showing at all, just the faintest shadow. Does anyone reckon they aren’t as good as wonfro? Both claim to be as low as 10miu.
im still taking it a day at a time and not assuming anything unless i miss AF. I’m planning on doing a clear blue digital the day before if my lines keep developing

Emiily887 · 17/11/2024 22:10

@LuxyLocket how exciting that they’re progressing!! Do you have a pic?🫶🏼
I have used both, I can’t remember if either was more sensitive though.
Have you told DH? X

OP posts:
LuxyLocket · 18/11/2024 06:24

Thank you @Emiily887 I am getting more hopeful now, I keep thinking positively and willing it to progress, please please keep progressing!
This was this morning. Darkest line is on the wondfo. Came up well within the 5 mins. But easy@home and another Amazon cheapy also showing a faint line too.
13dpo today.
i have told DH I suspect but he doesn’t want to have his hopes built up as we’ve been here before. So we’ve said we will do a cb digital together later in the week.

How are the rest of you ladies doing? I know some are into their tww now 💕🩷

Happibara · 18/11/2024 07:00

@LuxyLocket that looks extremely promising. I understand about not wanting to get your hopes up, but I think it's great you shared with your husband. It must have been very lonely to test and constantly think about it on your own!

I'm 4 DPO. Feel like it's been a great cycle, did everything right: OPKs, DTD timing, used preseed and fertility cup, took all the supplements, had HyCoSy even!
But of course I'm still 41 so there's that.

I've set a hard boundary for testing this cycle: won't test until Monday 25th November, which will be 11DPO. If it's a BFN, then at least we have an IVF consultation coming up the day after.

As you can see I'm all over the place, swinging between hope and feeling it's all useless, thinking we have a chance of spontaneous pregnancy, then despairing that even IVF will help us 😆 The TWW is the worst.

Baby Dust to all of you, keep positive on this journey!

Looks promising! So excited for u!
I stupidly tested today 6dpo what was I thinking obviously bfn!
I had some weird pulling down below last night but think I'm just symptom spotting as last month I put down similar feeling although it was more 11dpo last month!
Not going to test tomorrow and will test either Wed or thu, only Internet cheapies though and if I get any Hint of line I'll get frer ordered!

Mummysparrow · 18/11/2024 11:03

Negative tests here so waiting for my period to start tomorrow. Timing sucks as it my little boys due date on Wednesday so I hoped to be pregnant again and instead I will be on my period 😭 on to cycle number 5

I'm so sorry but until af comes ur not out lovely!

JoMummyJessica · 18/11/2024 14:15

I'm only 6dpo and had bfn this morning but omg I've just been crying for 20 minutes as I couldn't log into my computer for work! Being this emotional this early isn't a symptom is it! My friend has just said omg ur not pregnant are ya cause I was uncontrollably crying over something so stupid! Cried last night too watching girls aloud concert on TV when they showed Sarah harding, I don't even like girls aloud that much!

Mummysparrow · 18/11/2024 15:13

@JoMummyJessica I was crying at Grey's anatomy last week and had symptoms of pregnancy so the BPNs took me by surprise

Hopeful202592 · 18/11/2024 16:01

Hi all, hope you're all doing well? Looking for some advice. I've randomly started bleeding on CD17 . Never happened before . Its not enough for the pad, but definitely there when I wipe.

I'm going to track whether it gets worse but it seems to be calming down.

Has anyone ever had this?

Mummysparrow · 18/11/2024 17:25

@Hopeful202592 have you ovulated yet?

Hopeful202592 · 18/11/2024 17:43

@Mummysparrow

I'm not sure as not tracking.

I was due to ovulate over the weekend
